How is the Art Institute of Chicago collection (about 133,000 works) made up? Counts artworks per artwork type, department, place of origin, classification, style, subject, artist or start year, across the whole collection, for one word in titles, or for public-domain works only. Returns the matching total, the top values with counts, and how many works sit outside them. Use it to size a theme or see how many public-domain works exist before picking images.

## Published example

This is the provider tool’s published example. Replace example values with the user’s requested inputs, respecting the schema; do not execute an example merely to test a connection.


```json
{
  "tool_id": "artic/collection-facets",
  "input": {
    "facet": "department",
    "title_word": "cat",
    "public_domain": true,
    "size": 10
  }
}
```

## Execute and retrieve

Inspect again before execution, explain the price and obtain the required authority. Use MCP run_tool or POST /v1/run with this tool ID, valid input and an idempotency key. Save the returned run ID and follow the actual state. If Agentik answers that the tool is temporarily unavailable, do not retry it blindly; use discovery to propose an alternative.

A partial or uncertain result can still have consumed provider resources. Consult [billing](/docs/billing.md), [idempotency](/docs/idempotency.md) and [asynchronous results](/docs/async.md).
