Query: "Give me the data on Japan's government debt for 2023."
When multiple datasets are available, the agent will ask for clarification:
Agent Response: "There are two relevant datasets available for Japan's government debt in 2023:
- Government debt as a percent of GDP and in domestic currency (WEO)
- Detailed portfolio investment in government debt securities (BOP)
Please specify your preference. If unsure, the World Economic Outlook (WEO) dataset is recommended for a general overview."
User Selection: "Detailed portfolio investment in government debt securities (BOP)"
Agent Follow-up: "To provide detailed data on Japan's portfolio investment in government debt securities for 2023, please specify the counterpart country or countries (where Japan holds these investment positions). For example: United States, Germany, China, or all available countries."
You can then specify countries to refine your query.
