Retrieves US durable goods orders data.
AI agents call economicIndicators_durableGoodsOrders to retrieve information from MCP Avantage without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool queries economic indicator data from Alpha Vantage API and returns historical/current durable goods orders statistics. It performs no write, delete, execute, or financial transaction operations. The worst-case misuse (an AI agent repeatedly querying this endpoint) would be rate-limiting or API quota exhaustion, a low-severity availability issue rather than data compromise or financial harm.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves US durable goods orders data without modifying any data. The verb 'retrieves' indicates a read-only query operation with no side effects.
