`list_metrics`

Pack: ukhsa · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/list_metrics for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Shortcut to list all available metric names for a fully-specified location — supply all five levels (theme, sub_theme, topic, geography_type, geography) at once rather than calling navigate iteratively. Returns metric names like “COVID-19_cases_casesByDay” ready to pass to get_metric_data.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`theme`	string	yes	e.g. “infectious_disease”.
`sub_theme`	string	yes	e.g. “respiratory”.
`topic`	string	yes	e.g. “COVID-19”.
`geography_type`	string	yes	e.g. “Nation”.
`geography`	string	yes	e.g. “England”.
