cdc_chronic.disease.state_compare
Compare a chronic disease indicator across all US states for a given year. Returns the value for each state (prevalence %, rate, or count) plus the 5 highest and 5 lowest states for quick ranking. Requires a question_id (e.g. "DIA01" for diabetes prevalence, "TOB04" for smoking, "CVD01" for high ...

What cdc_chronic.disease.state_compare does on Apibase
AI agents call cdc_chronic.disease.state_compare to retrieve information from Apibase without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
year | integer | — | Data year for comparison (e.g. 2023). Defaults to most recent available year (2023 or later). All states return the same year for a fair comparison. |
question_id | string | — | Question ID to compare across states (e.g. "DIA01" for diabetes prevalence, "TOB04" for smoking, "CVD01" for high blood pressure, "AST01" for asthma prevalence) |
stratification_id | string | — | Demographic subgroup to compare. OVR=Overall (default, all adults), SEXF=Female, SEXM=Male, WHT=White non-Hispanic, BLK=Black non-Hispanic, HIS=Hispanic, AGE65P |

Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs cdc_chronic.disease.state_compare safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and Apibase, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For cdc_chronic.disease.state_compare, this is the rule to start with:
cdc_chronic.disease.state_compare is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Apibase, apply this rule, and every cdc_chronic.disease.state_compare call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about cdc_chronic.disease.state_compare
Compare a chronic disease indicator across all US states for a given year. Returns the value for each state (prevalence %, rate, or count) plus the 5 highest and 5 lowest states for quick ranking. Requires a question_id (e.g. "DIA01" for diabetes prevalence, "TOB04" for smoking, "CVD01" for high blood pressure). Optional year (default most recent 2023) and demographic stratification. Useful for geographic health disparity analysis and policy research. Source: CDC CDI Socrata dataset hksd-2xuw. No auth — US Gov public domain. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Apibase MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
