	Description		Read-only	Idempotent	Open world
`ask`Answer manufacturing questions from committed data; deterministic, no LLM. Missing subjects and product ties ask for clarification. Calculators collect required inputs, retain corrections via `context`, and run when complete; defaults appear only in explicit worked examples. Statistics name period, frequency, scope and measure. `detail`: `answer` is compact, `evidence` adds scoped evidence and calculator guidance, `full` is default. Pass returned `context` for follow-ups. Shared by MFGChat, MFGSearch and `/api/answer`. Cite resolved sources. Try: {"query":"OEE","detail":"evidence"}	Answer manufacturing questions from committed data; deterministic, no LLM. Missing subjects and product ties ask for clarification.

`get_calculator`Get a calculator's inputs (labels, units, defaults, min/max) and formula before running it. requiresPositive marks a field whose documented minimum of 0 is really exclusive.

`get_change_events`Get every published or revised observation in order with a cursor. Poll by offset instead of re-pulling series. Same engine as /api/events and the vintage archive.

`get_citation`Get a ready-to-paste citation for an MFG Calcs dataset — including, for vintage-tracked datasets, the ?asOf= URL that returns the numbers exactly as they read on the access date, so the citation stays checkable after revisions instead of rotting. Carries a stable site identifier rather than a DOI; none has been minted for this collection yet, and the payload says so. Call with no dataset for the catalogue of citable datasets.

`get_freshness`Get the freshness contract for MFG Calcs' live data: every series with its measured publishing cadence, latest period, age in days, and an honest state (current \| due \| stale \| unknown). This is the number that decides 'answer from memory or call the tool' — and the cheapest way to know whether a re-sync is worth it. Derived from the committed data-status census; stale series are reported as stale.

`get_index`Fetch a published MFG Calcs index, board, ledger, forecast, vintage, revision record, seasonal series, or HS-NAICS map. Tariff targets distinguish the tracked manufacturing panel's observed effective calculated-duty rate; origins are statistically associated with those reported Calculated Duties, not causes. The selected index's JSON Schema branch lists its accepted fields; unsupported, dependent, or conflicting fields return invalid params. Try: {"index":"get_state_cost_index","filter":"Ohio"}.

`get_provenance`Get the MFG Calcs Provenance Manifest: the verifiable record for every branded index and ledger on the site. For each one it returns a SHA-256 of the committed artifact and of every committed public-data input it was built from, plus the generator that reproduces it and the page that renders it. Use this to VERIFY a number before quoting it: re-hash the committed artifact (integrity), re-run the named generator on the committed inputs (reproducibility), and read the git history (timestamp). Takes no arguments. The hashes prove the artifacts are intact and reproducible, not the correctness of the underlying government data. Cite the returned url.

`get_whats_new`Get the daily what-changed digest for the newest data day, in one call with links deeper: every agency series that published a new reading, every agency value restated (derived signals that recomputed are listed separately by name), every projection graded against its printed actual, and the day's Market Wire editions. Designed to be the first call of an agent's day: if `date` hasn't advanced since your last look, nothing moved. Empty days are reported empty with the reason, never padded.

`lookup_tariff`Look up U.S. manufacturing import tariffs: HTS General/Special fields, informational Chapter 99 references, observed effective calculated-duty rate, eligible families' aggregate customs unit value, source shares, and named-source HHI floor with retained-board coverage. Search by keyword, family, or HTS code. Schedule fields and Chapter 99 references do not establish entry liability; unit value is not a transaction price. USITC reference data, not a customs ruling.

`optimize_sourcing`Solve the cheapest legal supplier mix as a real linear program: given candidate suppliers with unit costs, tariff rates, freight and capacities, return the exact cost-minimizing allocation under a demand requirement, per-supplier capacity limits, and an optional diversification cap on any one supplier's share. Solved by HiGHS, the open-source solver inside SciPy, so this is the PROVEN optimum with dual prices, not a heuristic ranking. Answers 'how should I split this volume?', 'what does the diversification cap actually cost me?', and 'which supplier's capacity is the binding constraint?'. Pass suppliers as a JSON array of objects with name and unitCost, plus optional tariffPct, freightPerUnit and capacity; landed cost per unit is unitCost x (1 + tariffPct/100) + freightPerUnit. Call it with no arguments for the parameter documentation and a runnable example. The LP text is echoed back so the run is reproducible. Cite the returned url.

`run_calculator`Run a manufacturing calculation. Provide inputs by field key or slugified label (see get_calculator); missing inputs use the calculator's documented defaults. Returns labeled results with units, the formula, and a citation URL that should be shared with the user. Inputs are checked against their documented min/max; an impossible value is refused by name. derivation.confidence grades the OUTPUT: "none" if any result row could not be computed.
