Short answer
How can I get dataset metadata using my AI?
Your agent queries the Madrid municipal portal to pull specific dataset packages and their individual resources. You get direct access to maintainer names, update schedules, and file metadata. This breakdown shows how your agent handles those requests.
The outcomes
What you get from your agent
The AI turns your natural language questions into structured data from the Madrid portal.
DATA
Metadata extraction
The agent pulls package details like update frequency and maintainer contact info. You get clean, usable facts instead of browsing web pages.
FILES
Resource identification
Your AI identifies specific files within a dataset. It finds download links and file formats without you needing to click through the portal.
LOGIC
Automated filtering
The agent scans through dataset lists to find exactly what you asked for. It handles the heavy lifting of searching the CKAN registry.
HUMAN
Manual verification
You decide if the extracted metadata is sufficient for your needs. The AI provides the data, but you make the final call on its accuracy.
The workflow
What your AI does when the request arrives.
The agent translates your request into specific API calls to the Madrid CKAN instance.

get_packageInspect file details
Once the package is found, the agent looks inside to see the individual files and their properties.
get_resourceExtract maintainer info
The agent pulls the specific contact and ownership details from the package metadata.
get_packageSummarize findings

How this task behaves
- 01
Can my AI download the actual files from the portal?
No. The AI can find the resource metadata and download links, but it cannot download the files directly to your local machine.
- 02
Can the AI update the dataset information in Madrid's system?
No. The tools only allow for reading data. Your AI cannot change, delete, or upload any information to the Ayuntamiento de Madrid portal.
- 03
Does the AI see all datasets in the portal?
Yes, the AI can access any dataset that is publicly available through the CKAN API.
- 04
Can I ask for specific file sizes?
Yes, the agent can retrieve file-level metadata including size and format via the resource tool.
- 05
Will the AI notify me when a dataset is updated?
No. The AI only responds to your direct prompts; it does not monitor the portal for changes in the background.
