They ask the agent, and it uses `query_dataset` to pull comparative data points across multiple years for a side-by-side analysis. ### Building a currency risk report A financial analyst needs the current exchange rate between USD and CAD. They ask, and the agent uses `get_rates_of_exchange` to provide the official, real-time rate for their client presentation. ### Auditing annual budget changes A data scientist wants a summary of receipts from 2023. They prompt the agent with 'MTS Table 1 for 2023,' and it executes `get_mts_table_1` to deliver the precise, structured results needed for modeling. ### Tracking specific economic indicators A researcher needs a rarely accessed dataset, like 'daily treasury statements'. Instead of knowing the endpoint path, they use `query_dataset`, and the agent fetches the data using the correct v1/accounting/od/... endpoint. ## Benefits - Stop downloading CSVs.

If you know the general area, providing an endpoint path will allow your agent to retrieve specific datasets across the Treasury API. **What if I need rates for last week's date?** Use `get_rates_of_exchange`. While it fetches current reporting rates, you can query historical data by specifying the required date parameters within your prompt. **Which tool is best for yearly budget summaries?** For detailed annual reports, using `get_mts_table_1` or `get_mts_table_9` with appropriate year filters will give you the most reliable summary of receipts and outlays. **Does this MCP include non-Treasury economic data?** No. This MCP connects exclusively to the U.S. Department of the Treasury's specific Fiscal Data API, ensuring all numbers are authoritative federal records.
