Product Instructions

Governance & Institutional Quality Data

Access comprehensive governance data from the World Bank's Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) database covering 200+ countries. Query six core governance dimensions with WGI scores, percentile rankings, historical trends, and peer comparisons using natural language country names.

Actions

query_governance_data

Fetch governance indicator data for a country or region.

Required Parameters:

action (string): Must be "query_governance_data"
country_or_region (string): Country or region name in plain language (e.g., "United States", "India", "Sub-Saharan Africa")

Optional Parameters:

governance_aspect (string, default: "all"): Governance dimension to query. One of:
- "corruption" - Control of corruption indicators
- "rule_of_law" - Rule of law and legal institutions
- "effectiveness" - Government effectiveness and service delivery
- "stability" - Political stability and absence of violence
- "regulatory" - Regulatory quality and business environment
- "voice" - Voice and accountability, democratic participation

time_period (string, default: "latest"): Time period for data. Options:
- "latest" - Most recent available data
- "last_5_years" - Last 5 years of data
- "last_10_years" - Last 10 years of data
- "YYYY:YYYY" - Specific year range (e.g., "2015:2020"). Years must be between 1960 and current year.

include_peer_comparison (boolean, default: true): Include comparison with regional and income group peers (World, High Income, Upper Middle Income, Lower Middle Income, Low Income)

Example - Latest governance for a country:

{
  "action": "query_governance_data",
  "country_or_region": "United States",
  "governance_aspect": "all",
  "time_period": "latest"
}

Example - Corruption trends over time:

{
  "action": "query_governance_data",
  "country_or_region": "India",
  "governance_aspect": "corruption",
  "time_period": "last_10_years",
  "include_historical_trends": true
}

Example - Rule of law with peer comparison:

{
  "action": "query_governance_data",
  "country_or_region": "Kenya",
  "governance_aspect": "rule_of_law",
  "time_period": "latest",
  "include_peer_comparison": true
}

Example - Political stability for a specific range:

{
  "action": "query_governance_data",
  "country_or_region": "Brazil",
  "governance_aspect": "stability",
  "time_period": "2015:2020",

}

Supported Countries and Regions

Accepts plain-language names. Examples of supported inputs:

Countries: "United States", "USA", "India", "Germany", "Nigeria", "Brazil", "Japan", "Kenya", "Singapore", "South Africa", etc. (200+ countries)
Regions: "Sub-Saharan Africa", "Latin America", "Middle East", "South Asia", "East Asia", "Europe"
Income groups: "Low Income", "Lower Middle Income", "Upper Middle Income", "High Income", "OECD"
Global: "World" or "Global"
ISO3 codes: 3-letter codes like "USA", "IND", "GBR" are also accepted

Country names support partial matching, so "UK" maps to United Kingdom and "America" maps to USA.

Six Governance Dimensions (WGI)

Voice and Accountability ("voice"): Citizen participation, freedom of expression, media independence
Political Stability ("stability"): Likelihood of political instability and violence/terrorism
Government Effectiveness ("effectiveness"): Quality of public services, civil service, policy formulation and implementation
Regulatory Quality ("regulatory"): Government ability to formulate and implement sound policies promoting private sector development
Rule of Law ("rule_of_law"): Confidence in rules of society, contract enforcement, property rights, courts, likelihood of crime/violence
Control of Corruption ("corruption"): Extent to which public power is exercised for private gain

Response Structure

Responses include:

WGI scores on a -2.5 (weak) to +2.5 (strong) scale with score category and interpretation
Percentile ranks from 0 (lowest) to 100 (highest) for global positioning
Overall governance score (average of the 6 dimensions)
Historical trends with direction (improving/deteriorating/stable), magnitude, and absolute change
Peer comparisons against World, High Income, Upper Middle Income, Lower Middle Income, and Low Income group averages
Insights including strongest/weakest dimensions, corruption analysis, political stability assessment, trajectory assessment
SDG 16 alignment (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions)

WGI Score Interpretation

Score Range	Category	Meaning
+1.5 to +2.5	Very Strong	Excellent governance performance
+0.5 to +1.5	Strong	Good governance performance
-0.5 to +0.5	Moderate	Average governance performance
-1.5 to -0.5	Weak	Below-average governance performance
-2.5 to -1.5	Very Weak	Poor governance performance

Percentile Rank Interpretation

Rank Range	Meaning
90-100	Top 10% globally
75-89	Top quartile globally
50-74	Above median globally
25-49	Below median globally
10-24	Bottom quartile globally
0-9	Bottom 10% globally

Workflows

Country Risk Assessment: Query all governance indicators for a country, review overall score and weakest dimensions, compare against peer income group
Anti-Corruption Analysis: Use governance_aspect: "corruption" with time_period: "last_10_years" to track corruption control trends
Regional Comparison: Query the same aspect for multiple countries or regions to compare governance performance
Democratic Governance Monitoring: Focus on "voice" aspect with historical trends to track democratic participation over time
Investment Due Diligence: Query "all" aspects with peer comparison enabled to benchmark a country against its income group

Notes

Data sourced from the World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI), based on 30+ underlying data sources from diverse institutions
Indicators reflect perceptions from citizen surveys, businesses, and experts -- they are not objective measurements
Data updated annually with approximately a 1-year lag
Standard error indicators are available internally for confidence intervals
When include_percentile_ranks is set to false, rank indicators are filtered out from the response
If an unrecognized country name is provided, the tool returns an error with guidance on valid inputs
Data coverage varies by country; some may have limited historical data
When querying with time_period: "latest", only the single most recent data point is returned per indicator
Trend analysis requires at least 2 valid data points; trends are classified by magnitude (Significant >= 1.0, Moderate >= 0.5, Slight < 0.5)
Peer comparison fetches data for World, High Income, Upper Middle Income, Lower Middle Income, and Low Income groups for the core (non-rank, non-standard-error) indicators

Live Schema And Examples

Use the compact schema above for ordinary calls. Before a new production integration, or whenever parameters, enum values, nested objects, outputs, or examples are unclear, fetch live details first.

Exact schema: call agentpmt-tool-search-and-execution with action: "get_schema", and tool_id: "governance-institutional-quality".
Detailed examples: call agentpmt-tool-search-and-execution with action: "get_instructions" and tool_id: "governance-institutional-quality", or call this product with action: "get_instructions" when the product tool is already selected.
Treat returned live schema and instructions as more specific than this generated summary.

MCP schema lookup through the main AgentPMT MCP server:

Treat the returned JSON as the source of truth for this tool call.
If the response includes warnings or correction targets, apply them before retrying.
If the response includes a passed or success-style boolean, use it as the workflow gate.
If validation fails or the response shape is unclear, call get_schema or get_instructions before retrying.
If query_governance_data fails, preserve the request parameters and retry only after fixing schema, auth, or payment errors.

Security

Do not place account secrets, wallet private keys, mnemonics, signatures, or payment headers in prompts or logs.
Keep tool inputs scoped to the minimum content needed for the task.
Use the setup skills for credential handling; this product skill only defines product-specific behavior.
