Katzilla wraps government data for agents

Katzilla launches a unified API for government data, packaging 250,195 validated Data.gov datasets, 217+ tool-use actions, and source citations for AI agent workflows. It targets agents that need primary-source answers from SEC filings, FDA recalls, Federal Register notices, Census data, court opinions, and other public records.

// ANALYSIS

Katzilla is useful plumbing for a real agent problem: models can reason over public facts, but they still need fresh, structured, citable sources when accuracy matters.

–One API key across many government sources reduces the glue code needed to wire agents into SEC, FDA, BLS, FRED, Census, Federal Register, and similar systems
–Structured citations with source URL, retrieval time, and hashes are the right primitive for compliance, research, legal, finance, and journalism agents
–The broader toolset matters: Scrape covers public data trapped in pages, Signal/Watch handles monitoring, and Ask/NL endpoints give agents a higher-level query surface
–The main risk is trust in the abstraction layer: developers will still need to inspect coverage, freshness, rate limits, and citation semantics before using it in high-stakes workflows
