Use my connected Agentik MCP server for this job: french regional brief.

Write an economic brief for a French region. Find the Banque de France regional business survey series for my sector and read the latest months. Compare regional GDP per head and unemployment with a second region on Eurostat. Add the rate French firms pay on new bank loans. Search recent local news on employers and investment. Give each figure its period, say what changed, and keep official figures apart from press claims.

Use these Agentik tools for the written steps: banque-de-france/dataset-series, banque-de-france/series-observations, eurostat/dataset-data, ecb/series-data, tavily/search. Inspect their current schemas and availability first. Ask for missing inputs and use identifiers returned by actual earlier results. The page's example identifiers illustrate input shapes. Quote more pages before expanding. Preserve source links, dates and uncertainty.

Before running anything, inspect each tool with inspect_tool, ask me for any input you don’t have instead of inventing it, and tell me the total price. Wait for my go. At the end, tell me what Agentik charged.

## How to write an economic brief for a French region in Claude or ChatGPT

Prices are the most each call can reserve for this example: One survey catalogue read, one survey series, two Eurostat reads, one ECB series and one news search.

### 1. Read the regional surveys

Browse the catalogue for the region and sector, then read the series by its key.

- [Banque de France Webstat dataset series](/tools/banque-de-france/dataset-series.md) `banque-de-france/dataset-series` (Banque de France): free
- [Banque de France Webstat series values](/tools/banque-de-france/series-observations.md) `banque-de-france/series-observations` (Banque de France): free

### 2. Compare output and jobs

Use the same two areas in both reads and keep the latest year each dataset has.

- [Eurostat dataset query](/tools/eurostat/dataset-data.md) `eurostat/dataset-data` (Eurostat): free
- [Eurostat dataset query](/tools/eurostat/dataset-data.md) `eurostat/dataset-data` (Eurostat): free

### 3. Read the cost of credit

This series is national, so present it as the French backdrop to the regional picture.

- [ECB statistical series](/tools/ecb/series-data.md) `ecb/series-data` (European Central Bank): free

### 4. Add local news

Look for openings, closures and investment that the statistics cannot show yet.

Example total: at most $0.008. Each call is billed for measured usage; unused reservations are released.

## Ask it your way

- Write an economic brief for a French region.
- Keep the sample small and cite the source for each conclusion.

## Why through Agentik

- Collect the official sources through one Agentik connection.
- Inspect the price of each bounded call before running it.
- Keep each figure beside its source and date.

## Good to know

- Survey readings are opinion balances from business leaders, not growth rates.
- Eurostat's NUTS 2 areas do not always match today's administrative regions, and regional GDP arrives more than a year late.

## When to use something else

For forecasts and sector models, use a commercial economic research provider. This playbook assembles the published figures with their dates.

## French regional brief: questions

### What does the example cost?

At most $0.008 for the illustrated calls. The official records are free through Agentik, and the paid calls are the press, maps or email steps.

### Does the result cover every source?

No. Public records have publication lags and search results can be incomplete. Keep the collection date, sample size and missing evidence visible.

### Does this send messages or change an account?

No. These steps read public records and prepare a brief. Sending a message or changing an account requires a separate instruction.
