Tools (5)
🟢get_county_measures(county_fips, year)
Get all CDC PLACES health measures for a county. Returns up to 36 measures including health outcomes (diabetes, obesity, heart disease, etc.), health behaviors (smoking, binge drinking), preventive services (checkups, screenings), and health status indicators. Args: county_fips: 5-digit county FIPS code (e.g. '53033' for King County, WA). Must be a string, not an integer. year: Optional release year to filter by. Omit for the most recent data.

}🟢get_tract_measures(tract_fips, year)
Get all CDC PLACES health measures for a census tract. Returns tract-level estimates for health outcomes, behaviors, preventive services, and health status indicators. Tract-level data uses small area estimation and may have wider confidence intervals than county data. Args: tract_fips: 11-digit census tract FIPS code (e.g. '53033005300'). Must be a string, not an integer. year: Optional release year to filter by. Omit for the most recent data.

}🟢get_measure_by_state(state_abbr, measure_id)
Get one CDC PLACES measure for all counties in a state. Useful for comparing a specific health metric (e.g. DIABETES, OBESITY) across all counties within a state. Returns the most recent data year. Args: state_abbr: Two-letter state abbreviation (e.g. 'WA', 'CA'). measure_id: PLACES measure ID (e.g. 'DIABETES', 'OBESITY', 'BPHIGH'). Use search_measures to find valid IDs.

}🟢search_measures(keyword)
Search available CDC PLACES measures by name or category. Returns matching measure IDs, names, and categories. Use this to find the correct measure_id for other tools. Categories: Health Outcomes, Health Behaviors, Prevention, Health Status. Args: keyword: Search term (e.g. 'diabetes', 'smoking', 'prevention', 'heart').

}🟢compare_counties(fips_list, measures)
Compare specific CDC PLACES measures across multiple counties. Returns a side-by-side comparison of selected health measures for the given counties. Useful for benchmarking one county against peers. Args: fips_list: List of 5-digit county FIPS codes (e.g. ['53033', '53053', '06037']). Maximum 10 counties per request. measures: List of PLACES measure IDs to compare (e.g. ['DIABETES', 'OBESITY']). Maximum 10 measures per request.
