{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}bls_get_series — Fetch historical time series data for employment, inflation, wages, productivity, or housing. Returns dated data points with values. Provide series ID (e.g., "PAYEMS" for total nonfarm employment).bls_search — Search BLS economic data series by keyword. Returns matching series IDs and titles. Use bls_get_series with an ID to fetch historical data points.bls_latest — Get the most recent data point for a BLS series. Returns latest value and date. Use when you need current figures without historical context.bls_popular_series — Browse popular BLS series by category: employment, inflation, wages, housing, productivity. Returns series IDs and descriptions. Start here to explore available data.bls_local_unemployment — Look up the current LOCAL-AREA unemployment rate (or employment/labor force) for a US county, metro area (MSA), or city/town by NAME — e.g. "Wake County, NC", "Cary, North Carolina", "Fargo-Moorhead MSA". Resolves the place to its BLS LAUS series id (bls_get_series cannot do this; it needs a series ID, not a place name) and returns recent monthly data. Falls back to the county when a city is below the LAUS city-reporting threshold, and says so. Data is NOT seasonally adjusted.bls_occupation_projections — Official US Employment Projections by occupation (SOC code): projected 10-year employment growth (number and percent), annual average job openings, current employment, median annual wage, and typical entry education, experience and training, from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Employment Projections program. Look up an occupation by SOC code ("15-1252") or title words ("software developers"), or rank all detailed occupations by growth, openings or wage. Answers "projected growth for registered nurses", "which occupations have the most annual openings", "fastest growing jobs". Employment and openings are in thousands. Always reports the projection vintage (base and target year) of the latest release.Code samples (curl / TypeScript / one-click client install), schemas, and the live playground are on the pack page:
