System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

It removes the friction of finding and validating New Zealand public open-data by letting you search and inspect data.govt.nz (CKAN) metadata and datastore previews quickly from a simple, read-only CLI.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dataset discovery and inspection: Search for datasets by topic and fetch package details (title, description, org, and resources).
  • Organisation lookup: List data.govt.nz organisations/agencies related to open-data.
  • Resource and datastore preview: Retrieve datastore-backed resource records (when available) for a quick preview of tabular data.
  • Use case example: When a user asks for datasets related to “water quality”, the workflow can search for relevant datasets, show matching resources, and pull a small preview from datastore resources to confirm the data’s shape and usefulness.

Quick Start

Ask your agent to search the data.govt.nz catalogue for water quality datasets and return the top matches as JSON.
