02e3259e01e38386

Global food & agriculture statistics from the UN FAOSTAT bulk-download corpus, served from a local SQLite mirror (the public REST API is auth-gated). Workflow: faostat_list_domains to find a domain code → faostat_resolve_codes to turn commodity/country/metric names into the integer codes the cube needs → faostat_query_observations for the data. Aggregate regions (World, continents) are excluded by default so sums are not double-counted — set include_aggregates=true for roll-ups. Large results spill to a DataCanvas table; query it with faostat_dataframe_query (discover table/column names via faostat_dataframe_describe). faostat_commodity_profile bundles producers + trend + trade for one commodity in a single call. Every observation carries a data-quality flag — commonly A=Official, B=time-series break, E=Estimated, I=Imputed, M=Missing (value cannot exist), T=Unofficial, X=from an international organization, plus others FAOSTAT defines per domain — honor it, and treat any unrecognized flag as informational (never assume official).

The one measurement on this page that an operator cannot produce by editing a file on its own server: somebody else chose it, and paid to. Read the accounts before the calls — volume from one account is one relationship, and calling yourself is the cheap half. Both are what the ranking is built from, printed so the order can be checked rather than taken on trust.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

faostat_list_domains open 16h ago

Discover FAOSTAT statistical domains (production, trade, food balances, food security, land use, agri-emissions, prices, value) with their codes, descriptions, last-update date, upstream row count, and local index status. Every query keys on a domain code from here. The `indexed` flag tells you which domains are queryable right now; un-indexed domains exist in the catalog but must be added to FAOSTAT_DOMAINS and re-synced before faostat_query_observations can read them. The catalog runs to ~69 domains with long descriptions, so responses are paged: narrow with `topic` / `indexed_only`, pass `code` to fetch one domain outright, or page with `offset` + `limit` — when the response reports `truncated`, pass the returned `nextOffset` to fetch the rest.

faostat_dataframe_describe open 16h ago

List the canvas tables (faostat_xxxxxxxx) staged by faostat_query_observations and faostat_commodity_profile, each with its source tool, the query parameters that produced it, creation/expiry timestamps, row count, and column schema. Call this before faostat_dataframe_query to discover the exact table and column names to reference in SQL. Tables are listed newest-first and paged: pass `name` to describe one table outright, or page with `offset` + `limit` — when the response reports `truncated`, pass the returned `nextOffset` to fetch the rest.

faostat_resolve_codes unknown never probed

Resolve human terms to the opaque integer codes faostat_query_observations needs, within a dimension: areas (countries/regions), items (commodities), or elements (metrics like production, yield, import quantity). Pass `query` for fuzzy full-text matching ("maize" → item 56), `name_contains` for a substring filter, or `code` for an exact-code lookup; omit all three to list the whole dimension. Item and element results are scoped to the requested domain — only codes present in that domain's cube are returned, so a resolved code is always queryable there (areas are shared across domains). Page large listings with `offset` + `limit`: when the response reports `truncated`, pass the returned `nextOffset` to fetch the next page. Every area match is flagged `country` or `aggregate` — aggregates (World, continents, economic groupings — codes ≥ 5000 plus a few curated sub-threshold roll-ups such as China=351, which sums mainland + Taiwan + Hong Kong + Macao) double-count if summed with their member countries, so resolve before querying and exclude aggregates unless you want the regional roll-up.

faostat_query_observations unknown never probed

Query a FAOSTAT domain's data cube by area(s), item(s), element(s), and year range, returning observations (area, item, element, year, value, unit, and the data-quality flag). Resolve codes first with faostat_resolve_codes — the cube is unqueryable without them. Aggregate regions (World, continents, economic groupings) are EXCLUDED by default so a naive SUM does not double-count a region with its member countries; set include_aggregates=true to get the regional roll-ups, or pass explicit area_codes to query exactly what you name. Small result sets return inline; large ones spill to a DataCanvas table (returned canvas_id + table_name) for GROUP BY / ranking / time-series analysis via faostat_dataframe_query. Every row carries its flag — commonly A=Official, B=time-series break, E=Estimated, I=Imputed, M=Missing (value cannot exist), T=Unofficial, X=from an international organization, plus others FAOSTAT defines per domain — so honor it, treat any unrecognized flag as informational, and never assume an estimated, imputed, or unrecognized value is official.

faostat_commodity_profile unknown never probed

Assemble a global profile for one commodity in a single call: top-producing countries, the annual production trend, and trade flows (top exporters and importers). Accepts a commodity name, resolves it to item codes, then queries the production (QCL) and trade (TCL) domains and merges the results. Each ranking is a per-country sum across the resolved items, taken at that country's own latest year with data and grouped by unit so incomparable quantities are never added. The trend is returned inline as year/value points. Country-level only (aggregates excluded). When a required domain is not indexed locally, returns a partial profile with a notice naming the gap rather than failing. The full merged observation set spills to a DataCanvas table for deeper SQL via faostat_dataframe_query.

faostat_dataframe_query unknown never probed

Use this for cross-country and cross-item aggregation, GROUP BY rankings, joins, and time-series analysis over the full result set the inline preview only sampled. Standard DuckDB SQL — joins, aggregates, window functions, CTEs all work. Read-only: writes, DDL, DROP, COPY, PRAGMA, ATTACH, and external-file table functions are rejected; system catalogs (information_schema, sqlite_master, duckdb_*) are denied — list staged tables via faostat_dataframe_describe. Every row carries its data-quality `flag` — commonly A=Official, B=time-series break, E=Estimated, I=Imputed, M=Missing (value cannot exist), T=Unofficial, X=from an international organization, plus others FAOSTAT defines per domain — keep it in projections, treat any unrecognized flag as informational, and never assume it is official.

_ try it through the hub, ceiling 0

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.

card completeness

100%

An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.

spec deviations

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.
