Analyze agency budget resources.
Need to know an agency's financial standing? Use `get_agency_budgetary_resources` to pull budgetary resources and obligations for any fiscal year. The data includes a breakdown of specific offices or sub-agencies using `get_agency_sub_agencies`. This lets your agent build complex models in BigQuery, correlating current funding levels with historical spending patterns across Google Cloud's infrastructure.
Map spending by location.
Visualizing federal spending geographically is easy. Fire up `search_spending_by_geography` to query amounts by state or county. You can also track overall trends using `search_spending_over_time`, perfect for longitudinal analysis. With Google ADK's long-context reasoning, your agent processes these geographic and temporal datasets, allowing you to find hidden correlations across massive data volumes.
Deep dive into specific awards.
The `get_award` tool provides the granular details on any single federal award. For a full picture, your agent can pull related transactions using `get_transactions`, or look at the parent funding structure via `get_award_funding`. This depth of data is ideal for enterprise use cases where you're validating compliance and tracing funds across multiple interconnected records.
