Index income assessments with LlamaIndex MCP

look, here's the thing, manual calculations waste time and introduce errors. The `calculate_per_capita_income` tool converts raw household financial data into a clean per capita figure. It avoids the usual bureaucratic paperwork by running the math instantly. It comes down to this: LlamaIndex indexes these outputs directly into your vector store. Your agent can search past eligibility runs to find historical patterns without recalculating everything from scratch. Does this make sense?

Query ProUni status using semantic search

The `check_prouni_eligibility` tool compares per capita income against the 1.5x and 3x minimum wage limits. It determines if the student qualifies for a full or partial scholarship. Once indexed, these results become part of your searchable knowledge base. You can query your database to find all students matching specific criteria using natural language instead of SQL.

Map FIES loan options to student profiles

The `check_fies_eligibility` tool checks if the applicant's household income fits the FIES requirements. It verifies the limit of up to 3x the minimum wage. Your RAG pipeline can combine this eligibility data with academic documents. This lets your agent generate personalized financial aid advice based on real government rules.
