The agent provides a detailed analysis of city spending, vendor payments, or lobbying activities, linking related entities through shared identifiers and clarifying the distinction between reported relationships and actual outcomes.
The agent formulates a query to the Akil MCP server to retrieve public money or lobbying records based on a specific vendor, agency, or issue. It uses shared identifiers to connect related records, such as matching a lobbyist to their client or a vendor to their payments. The agent then interprets the results by highlighting source context, reporting periods, and specific notes that clarify the nature of the data (e.g., distinguishing between a reported relationship and an established outcome), ensuring the user understands the limitations and scope of the public records.
