Get County Business Patterns Data

You can call `get_business_patterns` to inject live data on establishments, employees, and payroll right into your script. This means you're coding against real local economic activity, not mocked stubs. This tool is perfect for building site selection algorithms that need accurate business concentration metrics.

Extract State-Level Demographics

To model market potential, use `get_demographics_by_state`. When the AI calls this tool, your code receives White, Black, Asian, Hispanic, and foreign-born percentages for all states. This makes your application's segmentation logic robust because it uses live demographic data.

Run Targeted Census Queries

When you need a specific variable—say, educational attainment or poverty rates—you use `query_census`. You specify the ACS variables and geographies directly in your prompt. Your agent runs this query, gets the API response, and injects that raw data into the function you're writing.
