Perplexity

Retrieving Global Financial Data

The team can pull key financial indicators using `get_external_debt`. This tool provides total external debt stocks as a percentage of GNI, making it easy to standardize risk assessment across projects. You can also track capital flow by calling `get_fdi` for net Foreign Direct Investment inflows as a percentage of GDP. Copilot Chat automatically uses this data when generating code snippets.

Analyzing Demographic Trends

Need to benchmark population health? You use `get_life_expectancy` and `get_infant_mortality` in your team's workflow. These metrics are crucial for any global development project. For workforce analysis, the server provides `get_labor_force` counts and allows you to check unemployment rates via `get_unemployment_rate`. The Copilot Chat integration makes this data available instantly.

Sourcing Environmental & Agricultural Data

The team can easily gather resource stats. You call `get_forest_area` to get forest area percentages, or use `get_co2_emissions` for metric tons per capita data. This ensures all reports reference the same core environmental datasets. Agricultural health is covered with `get_agriculture_gdp`, which provides value added as a percentage of GDP across regions.
