The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
bfs_browse_catalog ~235
Browse the BFS catalogue: the theme list, or the datasets within a theme. Two modes in one tool (`mode` in the result says which ran): - Omit `theme_code` → list all 21 statistical themes with their 2-digit codes and dataset counts (the taxonomy of Swiss federal statistics). - Provide `theme_code` → list the datasets in that theme (table IDs + titles) to feed bfs_get_table_metadata / bfs_get_data. Args: params (BrowseCatalogInput): - theme_code (str | None): 2-digit theme code, e.g. '15' for Bildung; omit for the theme list - lang (str): Language code ('de', 'fr', 'it', 'en') - limit (int): Max tables to return (theme mode; default 20) Returns: BrowseCatalogResult. `mode='themes'` populates `themes`; `mode='tables'` populates `tables` plus theme metadata. On error, `error`/`hint` are set.

bfs_construction_activity ~257
Yearly new buildings and new dwellings for a commune, with room-size mix. Returns the consolidated official annual construction statistics (BFS STAT-TAB theme 09) for one commune: newly built buildings with dwellings (px-x-0904030000_106) and newly built dwellings broken down by number of rooms (px-x-0904030000_105), as a per-year series from `since_year`. Note: this is the *consolidated official yearly* statistic. For up-to-date building-register states and the construction pipeline (Baugesuche / Bauvorhaben), see the `swiss-housing-mcp` server — the overlap is deliberate so the two sources can be cross-validated. Args: params (ConstructionActivityInput): - municipality_bfs (int): BFS commune number, e.g. 261 (Zürich) - since_year (int): earliest year, inclusive (default 2015) Returns: ConstructionActivityResult with a `years` series (new_buildings, new_dwellings, dwellings_by_rooms). On error, `error`/`hint` are set.

bfs_price_index ~240
Swiss price indices not carried by STAT-TAB: Baupreisindex & IMPI. - `baupreisindex`: the construction price index — returns the national semi-annual index series (Schweiz, Baugewerbe Total), parsed from the BFS DAM XLSX selected via opendata.swiss (CKAN) metadata. - `impi`: the residential property price index — BFS publishes this only as PDF/HTML, so this returns the official source links plus an explicit limitation rather than parsed values. Data flows through opendata.swiss (CKAN), which rejects default User-Agents with HTTP 403; a custom User-Agent is always sent. Results are cached for 24h. Args: params (PriceIndexInput): - index (str): 'baupreisindex' or 'impi' - since_year (int | None): optional earliest year to include Returns: PriceIndexResult with `series` (baupreisindex) or `source_links` (impi).

resolve_historical_commune ~203
Map a historical BFS commune number onto today's number(s). This is the core value of the reference layer: when old statistics are keyed on a BFS number that has since been merged or renamed, this tool returns which of today's commune(s) that number resolves to, plus the mutation path (fusions/renamings with dates). Use `resolves_to` to re-key (umschlüsseln) old figures onto the current municipal division. Args: params (ResolveHistoricalCommuneInput): - bfs_number (int): historical BFS number - from_date (str): ISO date the old data belongs to - to_date (str): ISO target date (default today) Returns: ResolveHistoricalCommuneResult with `resolves_to` (today's BFS number/name/LINDAS URI) and `mutation_path`. On error, `error`/`hint`.

search_historical_series ~191
Search long-run historical time series (HSSO) by topic. Historical Statistics of Switzerland provides long-run series (roughly 19th–20th century) as static XLSX tables. This tool searches the table catalogue by keyword and returns each match with its page and a stable XLSX download URL. Licence: HSSO is CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 — attribution required, NonCommercial. Every response carries that notice in `licence_note`. Args: params (SearchHistoricalSeriesInput): - topic (str): keyword(s); all must match the title - period (str): optional period hint (informational only) Returns: SearchHistoricalSeriesResult with matching `series` (code, title, page URL, XLSX URL).
