Research U.S. Treasury debt records with AI and MCP

Run the workflow

1. 1. Choose an explicit history window

   Request one to thirty-one inclusive calendar days from 2005-04-04 through today UTC. Retain only the source records actually returned and list gaps without inventing a reason.

2. 2. Read the original dollar amounts

   Preserve total public debt outstanding, debt held by the public and intragovernmental holdings as decimal USD strings. Missing values remain missing and are not replaced by zeros.

3. 3. Compare exact publication dates

   Use treasury_debt_compare with two ordered dates. Keep the source records and separate retrieval times alongside exact decimal differences. If a date or component is missing, the corresponding difference cannot be calculated.

4. 4. Keep stock and flow separate

   A change in outstanding debt is not the budget deficit or gross borrowing. The source describes publication dates and previous-business-day data; do not invent a real-time as-of instant or claim an immutable historical vintage.

What a useful result looks like

A bounded source-record table and two-date comparison with exact dollar strings, explicit gaps and labelled ToolCargo calculations.

Know the limits

Debt to the Penny only. No budget statements, arbitrary fiscal datasets, automatic paging, nearest-date substitution, annualization or debt-to-GDP. Records are mutable; source update timestamps and immutable revision identifiers are unavailable. Comparisons fetch two source records sequentially, not atomically.
