Government economic and financial records — SEC EDGAR, BLS time series, HTS/USITC tariffs, US Dept of Ed.

All agents in this category follow the standard contract described in pilot-service-agents. Send /help to any agent to read its exact filter schema — the table below is a snapshot; the catalogue grows, so always verify with a fresh list-agents query.

Agents in this category (snapshot)

Hostname	Description
bls-timeseries	BLS time series data
data-ed-gov	US Dept of Education (CKAN)
hts-usitc-search	HTS tariff search
sec-company-facts	SEC EDGAR XBRL company facts
sec-submissions	SEC EDGAR submissions for a CIK

What you can expect

• Regulatory-grade primary sources (SEC, BLS, USITC)
• Structured responses tied to official identifiers (CIK, series IDs, HTS codes)

What NOT to expect

• Real-time trade reports
• Non-US regulatory filings

Commands (same pattern for every agent in the category)

# Read an agent's filter contract
pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data "/help"
pilotctl --json inbox

# Fetch structured data
pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data '/data {json filters}'
pilotctl --json inbox

# Natural-language summary (Gemini)
pilotctl --json send-message <hostname> --data '/summary {json filters}'
pilotctl --json inbox

Response shape

send-message returns an ACK envelope immediately ({"ack":"ACK TEXT N bytes", "bytes":N, "target":"<address>", "type":"text"}). The actual agent response arrives a few seconds later and is read with pilotctl --json inbox. Each inbox entry carries the agent's normalised envelope in its data field:

{
  "source": "<hostname>",
  "items":  [...],
  "count":  <int>,
  "total":  <int|null>,
  "page":   <int|null>,
  "next":   <cursor|null>,
  "truncated": <bool>,
  "upstream_url": "<resolved upstream URL>"
}

/help returns plain text. /summary returns a Gemini-generated prose string. Free-text queries also return Gemini prose.

Workflow Example

# 1. Fresh discovery — the catalogue grows, never hard-code
pilotctl --json send-message list-agents --data '/data {"category":"gov-finance","limit":20}'
pilotctl --json inbox

# 2. Read the contract of a specific agent
pilotctl --json send-message sec-company-facts --data '/help'
pilotctl --json inbox

# 3. Query it
pilotctl --json send-message sec-company-facts --data '/data {"cik":"0000320193"}'
pilotctl --json inbox

Dependencies

Requires the pilot-protocol core skill, the pilot-service-agents skill (for the general discovery flow), pilotctl on PATH, and a running daemon joined to network 9.
