WHAT IT DOES

What oecd-data.series.data does on Apibase

AI agents call oecd-data.series.data 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
`key`	string	—	SDMX dot-separated dimension filter key in dimension position order (e.g. "USA.M.LI....." for a specific country+frequency+measure). Use "all" (default) to fetc
`version`	string	—	Dataflow version, from oecd-data.dataflows (e.g. "4.1"). Omit to use the latest version.
`agency_id`	string	Yes	OECD directorate agency id, from oecd-data.dataflows (e.g. "OECD.SDD.STES").
`end_period`	string	—	End of period range, e.g. "2024" (annual) or "2024-12" (monthly). Takes precedence over last_n_observations when set.
`dataflow_id`	string	Yes	OECD dataflow id, from oecd-data.dataflows (e.g. "DSD_STES@DF_CLI").
`start_period`	string	—	Start of period range, e.g. "2020" (annual) or "2020-01" (monthly). Takes precedence over last_n_observations when set.
`last_n_observations`	integer	—	Return only the most recent N observations per series (max 100, default 10). Ignored if start_period or end_period is set.

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs oecd-data.series.data 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 oecd-data.series.data, this is the rule to start with:

oecd-data.series.data Allowed

oecd-data.series.data is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

View as policy code

policy.json

{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "oecd-data.series.data": {}
  }
}

ALLOW ONLY THIS TOOL → Instant setup, no code required.

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Apibase, apply this rule, and every oecd-data.series.data call is checked against it from then on.

FAQ

Questions about oecd-data.series.data

What does the oecd-data.series.data tool do? +

Get observation values for an OECD dataflow (agency_id + dataflow_id from oecd-data.dataflows). Optionally narrow with a dot-separated SDMX key (from oecd-data.structure) or fetch all series with the default key "all". Filter by last_n_observations (most recent N per series, default 10, max 100) or a start_period/end_period range (e.g. "2020", "2020-01"). Each series is labeled with its dimension values (country, measure, etc.) and a list of period/value pairs. Data: sdmx.oecd.org (OECD SDMX public REST API), no auth required. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Apibase MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.

What parameters does oecd-data.series.data accept? +

oecd-data.series.data accepts 7 parameters: key, version, agency_id, end_period, dataflow_id, start_period, last_n_observations. Required: agency_id, dataflow_id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.

How do I enforce a policy on oecd-data.series.data? +

Register the Apibase MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for oecd-data.series.data: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Apibase. Nothing to install.

What risk level is oecd-data.series.data? +

oecd-data.series.data is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.

Can I rate-limit oecd-data.series.data? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the oecd-data.series.data rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block oecd-data.series.data completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for oecd-data.series.data. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides oecd-data.series.data? +

oecd-data.series.data is provided by the Apibase MCP server (apibase-mcp-client). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
