Tools

ToolDescription
austin_recentRecent records from a common Austin, TX open dataset (data.austintexas.gov) by friendly name — no Socrata id needed. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "recent crime in Austin", "Austin 311 requests", "Austin construction permits", "Austin restaurant inspection scores". Names: crime, 311, permits, restaurant_inspections. Returns the latest rows (newest-first). Add a SoQL where to filter; for anything else use austin_query.
austin_queryRun a raw SoQL query against any Austin open-data resource (data.austintexas.gov) by its Socrata id (8-char like "fdj4-gpfu"). Full SoQL: where/select/group/order/limit/offset. Use austin_datasets to find a resource id, or austin_recent for the common ones.
austin_datasetsSearch the Austin open-data catalogue (data.austintexas.gov) for datasets by keyword. Returns dataset names, descriptions, and Socrata resource ids to use with austin_query.

      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/data-austin/mcp"
    }
  }
