AI agents call sg_median_income_lookup to retrieve information from Sgdata without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves aggregated government statistical data (median income figures) without side effects. It performs a straightforward data query operation typical of read-only access to public Singapore government datasets. The incomplete description ('If year is') does not change the fundamental read-only nature of the operation.
From the tool's definition Tool name and description indicate lookup/retrieval of median income statistics: "Look up median monthly income by year and/or sex". No modification, deletion, or execution of external operations described.
