What it does for your agent

macro_indicator_search returns the LLMQuant Data curated allowlist of ~50 U.S. macro indicators sourced from FRED — Inflation (CPI / PCE), Rates (Fed Funds, Treasury yields), Labor (UNRATE, payrolls), Growth (GDP), Housing, Liquidity (M2, Fed balance sheet), Financial Conditions, FX, and more. Use it as a catalog discovery step: when an agent needs to figure out which indicator alias or series_id to feed into macro_indicator_history / macro_indicator_snapshot, call this tool first to browse the allowlist by category, frequency, or free-text keyword. It does not expose full FRED search — only the curated, attribution-cleared allowlist. Call with no parameters to list everything.

Notes

Two-step pattern: call macro_indicator_search first (free) to find the right alias, then macro_indicator_history (1 credit) for time series or macro_indicator_snapshot (1 credit) for the latest print. Catalog calls don’t burn credits, so call freely.
Prefer the platform indicator alias (us.cpi.headline) over raw series_id (CPIAUCSL) — aliases are stable across upstream FRED renames and give clearer intent in agent traces.
Curated allowlist only. Roughly 50 U.S. macro series. Arbitrary FRED series IDs outside the allowlist return 404. If you need a series that isn’t listed, file a request — we don’t proxy full FRED.
Catalog rows are not real-time: observation_end reflects the latest known release time we’ve cached, not necessarily today.
