Codes and labels for one named Stats NZ SDMX codelist, by id.

Tool description as the model sees it

AUTHORITATIVE for the valid codes in one named Stats NZ SDMX codelist — PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for “what are the valid codes in Stats NZ codelist CL_CEN23_ETH_004”, “2023 Census (CEN23) ethnicity codes”, “NZ census SDMX codelist lookup”. Fetches one codelist’s code-to-label pairs directly by id (e.g. “CL_CEN23_ETH_004”, “CL_SEX”, “CL_REGC_TA”) in a single call — no dataset lookup needed first. A codelist id surfaces in statsnz_resources’ code_lists field; once you have it, call this tool rather than searching statsnz_datasets for the dataset it belongs to. Needs no API key from the caller (operator-funded).

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`id`	string	yes	Codelist id, e.g. “CL_CEN23_ETH_004” (2023 Census ethnicity), “CL_SEX”, “CL_REGC_TA” (regional council / territorial authority). Case-sensitive, as published in statsnz_resources’ code_lists[].id.
`agency`	string	no	Maintaining agency id for the codelist. Default “STATSNZ”.
`version`	string	no	Codelist version. Default “latest”.
`filter`	string	no	Case-insensitive substring filter on code id or label, e.g. “maori”, “pacific”.
`limit`	number	no	Maximum codes to return, 1-2000. Default 200 (some code lists, e.g. small-area geographies, run to thousands).
`_apiKey`	string	no
