Fas

Connects Claude to the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service API for querying global trade flows and agricultural production data. Part of the Pipeworx gateway ecosystem, which means you can either use this standalone FAS endpoint or tap into their full gateway covering 250+ data sources. The interesting bit is the ask_pipeworx pattern where you throw natural language questions at it and the gateway figures out which tool to call and how to structure the parameters. Useful when you're building agents that need authoritative data on crop production, export statistics, or commodity trade patterns without manually wiring up USDA's data formats.
