list_datasets — Enumerate every approved Georgia dataset (topic) and the shared dimensions.
search_datasets — Keyword search over the catalog metadata (topic names, descriptions, tags, AND column names/descriptions) — the discovery entry point when you don't know the exact topic name.
describe_dataset — Full schema for one topic: every column (name/type/role/unit/value range/null-meaning), the exact `filters` list with enum values (read this before query_dataset — it is the authoritative set of filter keys), the FK→dimension join shape (`foreign_keys`), example queries, usage, limitations, null semantics, tags, and `schema_hash` (for cache/drift detection).
query_dataset — Query one topic's gold facts with dimension labels joined in (the district/school/county/demographic names come back on every row).
distinct_values — List the distinct values of ONE filterable column of a topic — the fast way to learn valid filter values before query_dataset, especially for FREE categoricals and FK codes (district_code/school_code/county_fips/demographic) that carry no enum in describe_dataset (a wrong guess otherwise returns an empty page with no error).
aggregate — Compute a grouped aggregate over one topic — the aggregation-first path.
resolve_entity — Resolve a place or demographic NAME or CODE to its stable keys + labels — the right way to turn 'Atlanta Public Schools' / 'Fulton' / a raw code into the district_code / school_code / county_fips / demographic to filter by (a wrong code guess otherwise returns an empty query_dataset page).
get_dimension — Paginated read of a dimension table — the label lookups (district names, school names, county names, demographic labels).
