	Description		Read-only	Idempotent	Open world
`compare_metros`Compare wages for one occupation across multiple metro areas. Pass a list of 5-digit MSA codes (e.g., ['47900', '42660', '12580'] for DC, Seattle, Baltimore). Returns the specified wage measure for each metro. Use list_common_metros() to find codes. datatype: '04' (Annual Mean, default), '13' (Median), '03' (Hourly Mean). Up to 50 metros per call.

`detect_latest_year`Report the OEWS data year this server answers from. OEWS releases annually in spring, and this server bundles the current release. Every tool defaults to that year.

`get_data_status`Report which OEWS release this server answers from and where it came from. Returns the bundled data year and release, the BLS source files with their SHA-256 and publication dates, the retrieval date, and row counts. No API key is used or needed.

`get_wage_data`Get wage data for an occupation by SOC code. This is the primary tool for querying BLS OEWS wage statistics. occ_code: 6-digit SOC code without dash (e.g., '151252' for Software Developers, '131082' for Project Management Specialists). See list_common_soc_codes() for common mappings. scope + area_code: - 'national': no area_code needed (all US) - 'state': area_code = 2-digit state FIPS (e.g., '51' for VA, '11' for DC) - 'metro': area_code = 5-digit MSA code (e.g., '47900' for DC metro, '42660' for Seattle). See list_common_metros() for codes. industry: 6-digit industry code for national-only breakdowns. '000000' = all industries (default). Common: '541000' (Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), '541500' (Computer Systems Design and Related Services), '999100' (Federal Executive Branch (OEWS Designation)). Industry breakdowns only work with scope='national'. Federal IT staff mostly fall under 15-1299 (Computer Occupations, All Other), so 999100 with 15-1252 rests on few employees. datatypes: list of 2-digit codes. Default uses IGCE set: - '04' = Annual Mean Wage - '13' = Annual Median - '11' = Annual 10th Percentile - '15' = Annual 90th Percentile Hourly percentiles: '03' (Mean), '06' (10th), '07' (25th), '08' (Median), '09' (75th), '10' (90th). Annual percentiles: '11' (10th), '12' (25th), '13' (Median), '14' (75th), '15' (90th). Other: '01' (Employment); '16' (Employment per 1,000 Jobs) and '17' (Location Quotient) exist at state/metro scope only. '02' (Employment RSE) and '05' (Mean Wage RSE) are relative standard errors in percent, a measure of each estimate's reliability.

`igce_wage_benchmark`Get wage benchmarks formatted for IGCE development. Returns annual and hourly wages at the mean and the 10th, 25th, median, 75th, and 90th percentiles (25th/75th are the usual junior/senior anchors), plus estimated burdened hourly rates using the specified burden multiplier range. Hourly figures are BLS's published hourly wages (annual / 2080 only where BLS publishes no hourly wage). Also returns the cell's employment and relative standard errors (reliability) and flags thin estimates. Wages are point-in-time estimates for the OEWS reference month (wage_period in the response), not current rates: escalate them to the period of performance before pricing. BLS wages are BASE wages (no fringe, overhead, G&A, or profit). Multiply by a burden factor to estimate fully-loaded rates: - 1.5x-1.7x: lean contractor - 1.8x-2.2x: mid-range professional services (default) - 2.0x-2.5x: large contractor with clearance overhead - 2.5x-3.0x: high-overhead (SCIF, deployed) The burdened range should roughly align with GSA CALC+ ceiling rates for comparable labor categories. If CALC+ >> burdened BLS, the role may require specialized skills or clearance overhead. Document the gap. Burden multipliers must be positive and burden_low <= burden_high. Reasonable range: 1.3 (lean) to 4.0 (high-overhead/clearance).	Get wage benchmarks formatted for IGCE development.
