    Why it is in this group

    • The name "get_area_statistics" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Free aggregate statistics for datasets that have a rating (food hygiene ratings by local authority, Scotland FHIS by council, US restaurant inspections and building permits by city area): totals, share rated well or poorly, rank among areas, breakdown by type, and the most recently rated low performers. Omit area to list the areas available. Cite the page URL returned.

    Description, as the server wrote it

    • The name "list_datasets" says "list": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    List every dataset DataScoop carries (official public records: UK food hygiene ratings, Scotland FHIS, CQC care providers, the UK charity register, US restaurant inspections, US building permits, and more as added) with country, coverage, row count, licence, refresh date and the page URLs.

    Why it is in this group

    • The name "query_dataset" says "query": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Return the rows of a dataset that match a set of filters, with the total count and the attribution to cite. Organisational data only (businesses, premises, charities, permits), never personal contact data. Without a Pro key each call returns at most 25 rows and sets truncated=true with the total; the result then includes next_step with the exact links and wording to give the user so they can get every row (one-off spreadsheet export, or a free account upgraded to Pro for unlimited API and MCP rows). Page with offset; ask for format "summary" to get counts only.

    Description, as the server wrote it

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
