Returns observations of key US macro, energy, and fiscal indicators from four sources: - BLS (Bureau of Labor Statistics): the canonical labor + price statistics. ~20-series watchlist covering unemployment, payrolls, wages, CPI, PPI, productivity. Most monthly, ECI/productivity quarterly. - FRED (Federal Reserve Economic Data, St Louis Fed): rates, money supply, GDP, PCE inflation, mortgage rates, jobless claims, Fed balance sheet, breakeven inflation, dollar index, consumer sentiment. ~30-series watchlist. Some daily (rates, dollar), weekly (mortgage, Fed assets, jobless claims), monthly, quarterly. - EIA (Energy Information Administration): WTI + Brent crude oil spot prices, Henry Hub natural gas, US gasoline retail price, US crude oil production. Unique energy data not in BLS or FRED. Mostly weekly cadence. - FiscalData (Treasury Bureau of the Fiscal Service): total public debt outstanding TO THE PENNY, daily, 1993→present (split into debt held by the public vs intragovernmental); Monthly Treasury Statement gross receipts / outlays / deficit-or-surplus; average interest rate actually paid on each Treasury security class (Bills/Notes/Bonds/TIPS/FRN + nonmarketable, 2001→present). Filter to one source via source: 'bls' | 'fred' | 'eia' | 'fiscaldata'. Default returns all four unified — series_id disambiguates across catalogs. Use this when the user asks about: unemployment rate, jobs report, nonfarm payrolls, CPI / PCE / inflation, Fed Funds rate, Treasury yields, mortgage rates, yield-curve inversion, money supply / M2, Fed balance sheet / QE / QT activity, GDP, housing starts, retail sales, consumer sentiment, jobless claims, trade balance, dollar strength, national debt / debt ceiling levels, monthly federal deficit, interest cost on the debt, or general macro context for cross-source analysis. Categories (for filtering): - rates — Fed Funds, Treasury yields, mortgage, corporate bonds - gdp — Real + nominal GDP, GDP growth rate - activity — Industrial production, housing starts, retail sales - inflation — CPI/PPI (BLS) + PCE/Core PCE/breakevens (FRED) - employment — Unemployment rates (U-3, U-6), payrolls, jobless claims - labor-force — Labor force participation rate - wages — Average hourly earnings, employment cost index - hours — Average weekly hours - productivity — Nonfarm productivity, unit labor costs - money — M2, Fed total assets, overnight reverse repo - debt — Federal debt (FRED quarterly + FiscalData daily to-the-penny), Treasury general account - fiscal — MTS monthly receipts, outlays, deficit/surplus (positive = deficit, negative = surplus, per Treasury's sign convention) - trade — Trade balance, trade-weighted dollar index - sentiment — U Michigan Consumer Sentiment - energy — WTI/Brent crude, Henry Hub natural gas, retail gasoline, US crude production (EIA) Period format is fixed-width per cadence so lexicographic sort = chronological: - 2026M04 (April 2026), 2026Q01 (Q1 2026), 2026A01 (annual 2026), 2026W18 (week 18 of 2026), 2026D258 (day-of-year 258). Set latest_only=true to get one record per series (the most-recent observation) — useful for 'where are things now' snapshot questions. Daily series under latest_only return only the latest day per series (deduped client-side); without it you can pull arbitrary history. Pure-publisher posture: the unit on each series is documented in the unit field; we do not compute year-over-year deltas, seasonally adjust differently, or derive 'real' vs 'nominal' versions — agents do those calculations on top.
