Tools: get_indicator get_indicator_v2 get_county_scorecard get_adi_composite search_indicators get_cross_correlations
get_indicator | Fetch a compact snapshot of an American Default economic indicator by slug. Returns latest value, unit, frequency, direction, pre-computed aggregates (period averages, extremes, sustained runs), editorial prose (when available), and canonical APA / MLA / Chicago / news-copy citations. Raw historical series is NOT included — use https://americandefault.org/api/indicators/{slug}.json for the full da params: slug* |
get_indicator_v2 | Fetch an explicitly versioned compact indicator snapshot. Returns the latest value and canonical citation plus `trend_suppressed` and `series_breaks` comparison-safety fields. Callers must pass `response_version='v2'`; unsupported versions fail closed. The legacy `get_indicator` tool remains pinned to its original v1 shape. params: slug*, response_version* |
get_county_scorecard | Fetch a county's County Distress Index (CDI) scorecard by 5-digit FIPS code. Returns the 0-100 score (the share of the other U.S. counties with a lower composite, rounded down; field composite_score), score label, national + state rank (national_rank_ordinal is filled only for the top and bottom 100, where the site prints it), 5-domain breakdown (Delinquency, Default & Legal, Debt Burden, Labor, S params: fips* |
get_adi_composite | Fetch the latest quarterly reading of the American Distress Index (ADI) composite. Returns the composite score (0-100), band (1-5) with its label, the composite's rank in its own published history (rank_in_history.reading: quote this beside the band label), the methodology reading of the inputs, and the five-domain breakdown (Delinquency, Default & Legal, Debt Burden, Labor, Safety Net & Buffer) w params: none |
search_indicators | Search the 121-indicator registry by keyword. Returns ranked matches (up to `limit`, default 10, max 50) with slug, branded name, underlying name, category, and canonical URL. Scoring is substring+prefix over slug, branded_name, name, and category — e.g. query 'savings' returns both The Buffer (personal saving rate) and The Safety Net (emergency savings survey). Use this when you want to discover params: query*, limit |
get_cross_correlations | Fetch statistically-validated leading/lagging relationships for an indicator. Source: the five-filter leading-indicator scanner (cross-correlation → first-differenced CCF → multi-crisis validation → Granger causality → out-of-sample validation). Returns two lists: `as_leader` (pairs where this indicator precedes its follower) and `as_follower` (pairs where another indicator precedes this one). Onl params: slug* |
Entries describe changes in tool definitions. They are not statements about a server, its quality or its author. The grade measures how the tool definitions fit model providers (token cost, schema compatibility, confusable names) as scored by the ToolFit engine at the time of the listing. JSON: append .json.
