The agricultural problem
A user may want to look up a grain commodity’s latest cash price and daily cash price history for a state. [1]
What the AI agent does
An AI agent can use Magpie’s get_grain_price tool for the latest cash grain price for one commodity in one state and get_grain_history for daily cash price history for one grain commodity in one state. [1]
Expected output
The documented grain-prices REST endpoint returns USDA cash bids with provenance. [2]
Inputs and data
- A grain commodity and a state for the cash-price lookup; the README gives Illinois corn as an example. [1]
Workflow
- Use
get_grain_pricefor the latest cash price, thenget_grain_historyfor daily cash price history for that grain commodity and state. [1] - Illustrative example: look up the latest Illinois corn cash price and its daily cash price history. [1]
- The README documents
GET /v1/grain/prices?limit=1as returning USDA cash bids with provenance. [2]
