5 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

get_dataset

Use ids/slugs from search_datasets (e.g. t000018d0000000001). Get full metadata of a Tokyo open dataset: description, publisher, and all downloadable resources

search_datasets

data.metro.tokyo.lg.jp. IMPORTANT: query terms go against the TITLE and are Japanese (e.g. 観光 tourism, 防災 disaster prevention, 電力 power, コロナ covid). Filter with group (e.g. c023 観光, c015 防災 — see list_categories) and format (e.g. CSV, XLSX). Paginate with page/page_size — never fetch all pages. Search the 9,600+ open datasets of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government (disaster, tourism, transport, health, environment...)

preview_resource

Take resource URLs from get_dataset. Best for CSV/JSON; binary formats return limited bytes. Great for inspecting actual rows before deeper analysis. Preview the raw content of a dataset resource (CSV/XLSX/JSON first rows)

list_categories

Use group ids in search_datasets. List the 12 thematic categories of the Tokyo open data portal (disaster, tourism, health...)

list_organizations

g. 総務局 General Affairs (2178 datasets), 交通局 Transportation Bureau (Toei subway/bus), 環境局 Environment, etc. Useful to explore a bureau's entire output via search_datasets with its name. List the Tokyo government bureaus publishing open data (with dataset counts)
