ssbnorway.data.query
Fetch statistical data from a specific SSB Norway table using dimension filters. Returns a JSON-stat2 dataset with dimension labels, value arrays, and metadata (updated timestamp, source, notes). Use ssbnorway.data.search to find the table ID, ssbnorway.data.metadata to get valid dimension codes ...

What ssbnorway.data.query does on Apibase
AI agents call ssbnorway.data.query 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
query | array | Yes | Array of dimension filters. Each filter selects specific values for one variable. Unfiltered dimensions are aggregated (eliminated) if elimination=true, or omit |
table_id | string | Yes | SSB table ID to query — the numeric ID from ssbnorway.search or ssbnorway.metadata. Example: "07459" for population, "09842" for GDP. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.

The rule that runs ssbnorway.data.query 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 ssbnorway.data.query, this is the rule to start with:
ssbnorway.data.query 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 ssbnorway.data.query call is checked against it from then on.
Questions about ssbnorway.data.query
Fetch statistical data from a specific SSB Norway table using dimension filters. Returns a JSON-stat2 dataset with dimension labels, value arrays, and metadata (updated timestamp, source, notes). Use ssbnorway.data.search to find the table ID, ssbnorway.data.metadata to get valid dimension codes and values, then pass them here as a query array. Each filter specifies a dimension code and selected values. Use filter="item" with specific value codes to select rows, filter="top" with count to get the N most recent years. Unfiltered dimensions with elimination=true are aggregated into totals. Covers 1,900+ statistical domains across Norway. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Apibase MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
ssbnorway.data.query accepts 2 parameters: query, table_id. Required: query, table_id. The full parameter table on this page comes from the server's own tool schema.
Register the Apibase MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for ssbnorway.data.query: 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.
ssbnorway.data.query is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the ssbnorway.data.query 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.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for ssbnorway.data.query. 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.
ssbnorway.data.query 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.
