Ask with this source

A prompt for your agent that names this source and how to call it through the crw MCP.

  • Action documentation

    Use data.gov.au (datagovau) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "Action documentation" (action-help). You are unsure what arguments a CKAN action accepts and want the server's own documentation rather than guessing. Example options: name=package_search. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "datagovau" and capability "action-help". 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 title suggestions

    Use data.gov.au (datagovau) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "Dataset title suggestions" (autocomplete-datasets). You have a partial dataset title from a user and want candidate slugs to resolve it, without pulling full search records. Example options: q=census, limit=10. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "datagovau" and capability "autocomplete-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>

  • File format suggestions

    Use data.gov.au (datagovau) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "File format suggestions" (autocomplete-formats). You want to filter by file format and need the exact format spellings the catalogue actually stores, which are inconsistent. Example options: q=cs, limit=10. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "datagovau" and capability "autocomplete-formats". 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>

  • Organisation name suggestions

    Use data.gov.au (datagovau) from fastCRW Pergamon, capability "Organisation name suggestions" (autocomplete-organizations). You have an agency name in prose and need its catalogue slug to filter a search by publisher. Example options: q=health, limit=10. Use the crw MCP tools: crw_find_data to confirm the source and its options, then crw_get_data with provider "datagovau" and capability "autocomplete-organizations". 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>
