Actions
query_trade_data
Fetches trade and competitiveness data for a country or region from the World Bank.
Required parameters:
country_or_region (string): Country or region name in English (e.g., "China", "Japan", "Vietnam", "Sub-Saharan Africa"). Also accepts partial matches and income groups ("High Income", "OECD"). Unicode names are not supported. Unrecognized names return an error with a suggestion.
Optional parameters:
trade_topic (string): One of "exports", "imports", "competitiveness", "logistics", "tariffs", "trade_costs", or "all". Defaults to "all".calculate_trade_balance (boolean): Calculate trade balance (exports minus imports) if both merchandise export and import data are available. Defaults to true.include_doing_business (boolean): Include Doing Business rankings and ease of doing business scores. Defaults to true. Setting to false also filters out time-to-export/import and cost-to-export/import indicators.include_lpi (boolean): Include Logistics Performance Index scores. Defaults to true. Setting to false filters out the logistics_performance indicator.time_period (string): "latest" (most recent available), "last_5_years", "last_10_years", or a specific range "YYYY:YYYY" (e.g., "2015:2020"). Also accepts "YYYY-YYYY" format (converted to "YYYY:YYYY"). Defaults to "latest".include_regional_comparison (boolean): Include regional and global comparison data (World, High Income, Upper Middle Income, Lower Middle Income) for key indicators. Defaults to true.include_trends (boolean): Include trend analysis with absolute change, percent change, direction, and CAGR for indicators with multiple data points. Defaults to true.

Workflows
Country Trade Profile
- Call
query_trade_data with a country and trade_topic: "all" for a comprehensive trade overview.
- Review the
insights array for human-readable analysis of trade patterns.
- Check
trade_balance for surplus/deficit status.
- Review
regional_comparison to see how the country compares to World, High Income, Upper Middle Income, and Lower Middle Income averages.
Trade Balance Analysis
- Call
query_trade_data with calculate_trade_balance: true (default).
- The response includes a
trade_balance section with exports, imports, balance amount, and surplus/deficit classification for each year.
- Currency values are formatted in human-readable units (millions, billions, trillions).
Competitiveness Benchmarking
- Call
query_trade_data with trade_topic: "competitiveness".
- Review Ease of Doing Business rank (1 = best, lower is better) and LPI score (1-5 scale, higher is better).
- Trade openness (trade as % of GDP) indicates how integrated the economy is with global trade.
Historical Trend Analysis
- Call
query_trade_data with time_period: "last_10_years" and include_trends: true.
- Review the
trends section for each indicator showing oldest/newest values, absolute and percent change, direction (improving/declining/stable), and CAGR.
- For exports and competitiveness indicators, positive change means "improving". For tariffs, time, and cost indicators, negative change means "improving" (lower is better).
Notes
- Supported countries: 100+ countries by full English name (e.g., "Vietnam", "Japan", "Germany"), plus partial name matching. Also supports 2-3 letter ISO codes if they match known World Bank codes.
- Regions: "Sub-Saharan Africa", "Latin America", "Middle East", "South Asia", "East Asia", "Europe", "North America", "Arab World".
- Income groups: "Low Income", "Lower Middle Income", "Upper Middle Income", "High Income", "OECD".
- Special values: "World" or "Global" for worldwide data.
- Country name input longer than 100 characters is rejected.
- If country_or_region is empty, defaults to "World" (WLD).
- Trade topics and their indicators:
exports: merchandise exports, exports % of GDP, high-tech exports, ICT exports, service exports, time to export, cost to exportimports: merchandise imports, imports % of GDP, service imports, time to import, cost to importcompetitiveness: Ease of Doing Business rank, LPI, trade % of GDP, exports/imports % of GDPlogistics: LPI score, time to export/importtariffs: simple mean tariff rate, weighted mean tariff ratetrade_costs: time to export/import, cost to export/import, simple and weighted mean tariff ratesall: all available trade indicators
- Trade balance calculation: Exports minus imports. Positive = surplus, negative = deficit, zero = balanced. Calculated by matching merchandise export and import data by year.
- Currency formatting: Large values displayed in millions, billions, or trillions (e.g., "$1.23 trillion").
- CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate): Calculated when multi-year data is available and both start and end values are positive.
- Trend direction interpretation: For exports/competitiveness/logistics, positive change = "improving". For tariffs/time/cost/ease of doing business, negative change = "improving" (lower is better).
- Insights generated automatically: Trade surplus/deficit, export orientation (% of GDP), trade openness, LPI interpretation (world-class/strong/moderate/developing/challenges), Doing Business rank tier, tariff level, export process efficiency, ICT export strength, export growth trends, and comparison to global averages.
- LPI score interpretation: 4.0+ = world-class, 3.5-4.0 = strong, 3.0-3.5 = moderate, 2.5-3.0 = developing, below 2.5 = significant challenges.
