Tools as reported by the server

bls_list_surveys
List BLS survey programs with their abbreviation codes, full names, and metadata about calculation support and annual averages. Use to discover which survey covers a topic before calling bls_search_series; bls_search_series covers only the surveys in its offline index, and series in the others are f
bls_search_series
Search the BLS series catalog by natural language query, survey code, geographic area, or keywords to resolve cryptic SeriesIDs. Returns matching series with decoded components (survey, area, item, seasonal flag, and publication frequency for surveys that publish one series at several frequencies) a
bls_get_latest
Return the single most recent observation for one or more BLS series. Use for "what is X right now" questions — the current unemployment rate, the latest CPI reading, etc. Each series consumes one API query against the 500/day limit; for the current value of many series, bls_get_series with a 1-year
bls_get_series
Fetch time-series data for 1–50 BLS series by SeriesID in a single API request (one query against the 500/day limit). Supports optional year range (up to 20 years per request) and BLS-computed period-over-period calculations (net change and percent change; a survey returns whichever it supports and
bls_dataframe_describe
List canvas dataframes materialized by bls_get_series or by bls_dataframe_query register_as, with provenance (source tool, query parameters), TTL, row count, and column schema. Use before writing SQL to confirm column names and types. Lazy-sweeps expired tables before responding. Requires CANVAS_PRO
bls_dataframe_query
Run a single-statement SELECT against the canvas dataframes registered by bls_get_series or by an earlier register_as. Read-only: writes, DDL, DROP, COPY, PRAGMA, ATTACH, and external-file table functions are rejected. System catalogs (information_schema, pg_catalog, sqlite_master, duckdb_*) are den
