- **Global**: `"World"` or `"Global"`
- **ISO3 codes**: 3-letter codes like `"USA"`, `"IND"`, `"KOR"` are also accepted

Country names support partial matching, so `"UK"` maps to United Kingdom and `"America"` maps to USA.

## Available Indicators

### Internet Access
- Internet Users (% of population)
- Internet Users (total number)

### Mobile and Telephony
- Mobile Cellular Subscriptions (total)
- Mobile Subscriptions (per 100 people)
- Fixed Telephone Subscriptions

### Broadband
- Fixed Broadband Subscriptions (total)
- Fixed Broadband (per 100 people)
- Mobile Broadband Subscriptions

### ICT Trade
- ICT Goods Exports (% of total goods exports)
- ICT Goods Imports (% of total goods imports)
- ICT Service Exports (% of service exports)
- High-Technology Exports (current US$)
- High-Tech Exports (% of manufactured exports)

### Infrastructure and R&D
- Secure Internet Servers (per million people)
- Researchers in R&D (per million people)
- R&D Expenditure (% of GDP)

## Response Structure

Responses include:
- **Indicator data** with latest values, proper units (%, per 100 people, total numbers, current US$), year, and source
- **Trend analysis** with absolute change, percent change, direction (increasing/decreasing/stable), data point count, and CAGR when applicable
- **Digital divide analysis** (when enabled): internet access gap, fixed broadband gap, mobile coverage status
- **Regional comparison** benchmarked against World average, High Income countries, South Korea, and Singapore
- **Insights** covering internet penetration levels, mobile adoption, broadband infrastructure, ICT export significance, digital expansion rates, and SDG 9.c progress
- **SDG 9.c alignment** (Universal and affordable access to internet)

## Digital Divide Analysis

When `calculate_digital_divide` is `true`, the response includes:
- **Internet access gap**: Current access percentage and the gap (100% minus access)
- **Fixed broadband gap**: Current subscriptions per 100 people and gap to universal access
- **Mobile coverage**: Subscriptions per 100 people and whether coverage exceeds population (multiple devices per person)

## Workflows

1. **Digital Readiness Assessment**: Query all digital indicators for a country with regional comparison to benchmark against digital leaders
2. **Digital Divide Analysis**: Enable `calculate_digital_divide` for internet and broadband aspects to quantify access gaps
3. **ICT Trade Research**: Use `digital_aspect: "ict"` with trends to track technology export growth over time
4. **Infrastructure Planning**: Query broadband and infrastructure aspects over the last 10 years to identify growth patterns
5. **SDG 9.c Monitoring**: Query internet penetration with regional comparison to assess progress toward universal access

## Notes

- Data sourced from World Bank World Development Indicators
- Mobile subscriptions can exceed 100 per 100 people due to multiple SIMs/devices per person
- Fixed broadband means wired broadband subscriptions, not mobile broadband
- Mobile broadband refers to internet via mobile networks (3G, 4G, 5G)
- ICT goods include computers, telecom equipment, and consumer electronics
- High-tech exports include aerospace, computers, pharmaceuticals, and instruments
- Secure internet servers are measured per 1 million people
- The E-Government Development Index (EGDI) is not available in World Bank data; the `"e_government"` aspect returns an empty indicator set
- Data availability varies by country and indicator; most recent data may be 1-2 years old
- When an unrecognized `digital_aspect` is provided, the tool defaults to internet and mobile indicators
- Regional comparison benchmarks against World, High Income, South Korea, and Singapore using internet_users, mobile_subscriptions_per100, and fixed_broadband_per100
- Trend CAGR is only calculated for multi-year periods where both start and end values are positive

### Frequently Asked Questions

#### How do I connect this tool to an external agent?

- Page URL: https://www.agentpmt.com/faq
- Markdown URL: https://www.agentpmt.com/faq?format=agent-md

You can install the local MCP server by opening a terminal and running:

```
npm install -g @agentpmt/mcp-router
agentpmt-setup
```

This will connect you to local agents like Claude Code, Windsurf, Grok Build, Cursor, etc.

Alternatively you can connect to the hosted version with this config block, no installation required:

```
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentpmt": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://api.agentpmt.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <AGENTPMT_BEARER_TOKEN>",
        "x-instance-metadata": "{\"client\":\"generic-mcp\",\"platform\":\"remote\"}"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

#### How does an external agent use this tool?

- Page URL: https://www.agentpmt.com/faq
- Markdown URL: https://www.agentpmt.com/faq?format=agent-md

After the external agent is connected to an Agent Group that can use this tool, paste this prompt into the agent:

> Use the AgentPMT-Tool-Search-and-Execution tool. First call action 'get\_instructions' so you know how to use the tool search interface. Then call action 'get\_schema' with tool\_id 6980db8871cad8f61bf5b1d9 ("Global Digital Economy & Connectivity Data"). After reading the schema and any returned instructions, tell me what this tool can do, we are going to be using it

The agent should fetch the tool schema first, collect the required parameters for your request, and then call the tool through AgentPMT.
