Answer a question about U.S. manufacturing costs, tariffs, sourcing or factory conditions from a published MFG Calcs index. Every index states its method, source and vintage, so the answer is checkable rather than asserted. Pick the index whose QUESTION matches the user's: get_cost_pressure_index (are manufacturing input costs rising or easing?); get_input_cost_diffusion (how BROADLY are costs rising across input categories?); get_cost_pass_through (how much of a cost increase actually reaches prices?); get_manufacturing_pmi (is U.S. manufacturing expanding or contracting?); get_supply_chain_fragility (how concentrated and therefore fragile is supply?); get_state_cost_index (what does it cost to manufacture in a given U.S. state?); get_wage_board (what does factory work pay, by trade?); get_tariff_index (what is the average effective U.S. import tariff rate?); get_tariff_bill (how many dollars are U.S. manufacturers paying in duties?); get_policy_premium (how much of a product family's cost is policy rather than market?); get_tariff_dollars_by_country (which origin countries generate those duties?); get_source_shift (who replaced China as a supplier?); get_tariff_effect (did the tariff actually change sourcing?); get_sourcing_diversification (is sourcing concentrating or spreading out?); get_import_price_movers (which import prices moved most?); get_duty_free_routes (is there a duty-free way to source this?); rank_landed_cost (which source country is cheapest all-in, duty included?); reshoring_score (how ready is a product family to reshore?); get_reshoring_break_even (at what volume does reshoring start to pay?); get_forecast (six-month statistical outlook for a series); get_forecast_accuracy (how accurate have those forecasts actually been?); get_eti_outlook (six-month outlook for the effective-tariff index); get_tariff_action_ledger (chronological record of U.S. tariff actions). Try: {"index": "get_cost_pressure_index"}, or narrow one with {"index": "get_state_cost_index", "filter": "Ohio"}.
