Model business counts with Google ADK.

You can access UK business numbers using the `get_business_counts` tool. This dataset draws from the IDBR register, providing breakdowns by industry and local unit. Because your agents integrate natively with BigQuery, you'll find it easy to join this census-style data against other enterprise records you keep.

Analyze goods trade using Google ADK.

Use `get_trade` to pull detailed UK goods trade metrics. You get imports, exports, and the balance by commodity and partner country every month. This data is non-seasonally adjusted and available in £ million values, making it ideal for long-context modeling within your Gemini agent.

Use traffic activity indicators with Google ADK.

The `get_traffic_activity` tool provides experimental data on UK economic movement. This indicator helps track social and commercial change in real time. Your LlmAgent can process these signals alongside the structured ONS trade data, allowing for deep reasoning about economic shifts.
