What who.health.country_data does on Apibase
AI agents call who.health.country_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.

|---|---|---|---|
year | integer | — | Specific year to retrieve data for (e.g. 2022). Omit to get all available years. |
limit | integer | — | Maximum number of records to return (1–100, default 20). |
country_code | string | Yes | ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code (e.g. "USA", "BRA", "KEN", "IND"). Use who.dimension_values with dimension="COUNTRY" to list all valid codes. |

The rule that runs who.health.country_data safely
