"notes": "The Household Budget Survey (HBS) is a survey of a representative random sample of all private households in the State. HBS surveys have been carried out periodically in Ireland since 1951. The main purpose of the HBS is to determine in detail the pattern of household expenditure in order to update the weighting basis of the Consumer Price Index. The maintenance of a detailed diary of household expenditure over a two-week period by the surveyed households is thus the main distinguishing feature of the HBS. \r\nHousehold expenditure statistics are broken down by the following household characteristics:\r\n• Urban/rural location\r\n• Region\r\n• Tenure status\r\n• Household composition\r\n• Household size\r\n• Principal economic status of head of household\r\n• Household disposable income quintile",

Ask with this source
A prompt for your agent that names this source and how to call it through the crw MCP.
Dataset detail
Use PSB Data Catalogue (datacatalogue-gov-ie) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "Dataset detail" (dataset). You already have a dataset name or UUID from a search and need its resources, licence or full description. Example options: id=household-budget-survey-2022-2023. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "datacatalogue-gov-ie" and capability "dataset". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>
Dataset as DCAT-AP JSON-LD
Use PSB Data Catalogue (datacatalogue-gov-ie) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "Dataset as DCAT-AP JSON-LD" (dataset-dcat). You are feeding a European data catalogue or an RDF pipeline and want standards-shaped metadata instead of CKAN's package dict. Example options: id=household-budget-survey-2022-2023. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "datacatalogue-gov-ie" and capability "dataset-dcat". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>
All dataset names
Use PSB Data Catalogue (datacatalogue-gov-ie) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "All dataset names" (dataset-names). You want the complete inventory of dataset ids to iterate over, rather than a scored search page. Example options: limit=100, offset=0. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "datacatalogue-gov-ie" and capability "dataset-names". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>
Dataset search
Use PSB Data Catalogue (datacatalogue-gov-ie) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "Dataset search" (datasets). You want to find datasets on this portal by keyword, filter, or recency, and you do not already know a dataset id. Example options: q=statistika, fq=res_format:CSV, sort=metadata_modified desc. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "datacatalogue-gov-ie" and capability "datasets". Tell me the credits used and cite the licence from the response. If the crw MCP tools are missing, install them with: npx -y crw-mcp install --api-key <your fastCRW API key>
