Obtains the complete list of Idescat statistics (all, normalized and non-normalized). It has no parameters. The response contains a 'statistics' array where each element has: 'acronym' (lowercase acronym, e.g., 'censph', to be used as the 'stat' argument of the other tools), 'name' (title), 'description' (summary), 'datasets' (boolean), 'geo' (array of available territorial disaggregations), and 'url' (initial web address, relative to https://www.idescat.cat). Use it when the user asks what statistics are available or when a statistic needs to be found by name or territorial disaggregation. THREE KEY FIELDS to decide the flow: (1) 'datasets' — if true, the statistic is normalized and you can use the rest of the tools (get_idescat_stat_tables, get_table_metadata, get_table_data, get_table_geo, render_table); if false, ONLY the information from this tool and get_idescat_stat is available. (2) 'geo' — available levels of geographical disaggregation (e.g., 'cat'=Catalonia, 'prov'=provinces, 'at'=territorial plan areas, 'com'=counties and Aran, 'mun'=municipalities, 'dis'=districts, 'sec'=census sections). ALWAYS CHECK 'geo' before choosing a statistic for a territorial query: if the user asks for county data, choose a statistic that includes 'com' in 'geo'. (3) 'url' — home page of the statistic on the Idescat website. POPULATION FIGURES: when population data is requested, there are several sources: the main and richest is CENSPH (population and housing census, annual); for semi-annual estimates there is EP (population estimates, semi-annual); and there is also PMH (municipal register of inhabitants, annual). By default, choose CENSPH (or EP if semi-annual data is requested) and NEVER use PMH for population data unless the user explicitly asks for it.
