WHAT IT DOES

What ecdc-surveillance.covid.cases_deaths does on Apibase

AI agents call ecdc-surveillance.covid.cases_deaths 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
`limit`	integer	—	Maximum number of records to return (default 100, max 500).
`country`	string	Yes	Country name or ISO3 country code to filter by (e.g. "Austria" or "AUT"). Required — the upstream dataset has no server-side query, so this narrows the full his
`indicator`	string	—	Filter to only "cases" or only "deaths" rows. Omit to return both.
`year_week`	string	—	Filter to a single ISO week, format "YYYY-WW" (e.g. "2022-15"). Omit to return all weeks.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
