Demographic and Health Surveys is connected on its own sign-in page, in the browser. A key or a sign-in never passes through the terminal.

What GBrain can do with Demographic and Health Surveys

The DHS Program, run by ICF, has collected more than 450 national household surveys on population, health and nutrition across more than 90 countries. Connected to a workspace, GBrain can answer “how has child mortality changed in Kenya since 2003?” from the program’s published indicators, with the survey cited.

The connection only reads aggregate figures; no individual survey records are exposed.

  • Search survey indicators by topic
  • Pull indicator data by country and year
  • Break results down by sex, age, residence and wealth
  • List surveys, datasets and publications

What a terminal may do with Demographic and Health Surveys, and what GBrain keeps

Off or Read, for each terminal

Each terminal reaches Demographic and Health Surveys at the level set for it in the browser: Off, or Read, which only reads, as Demographic and Health Surveys describes its tools. A terminal reads its level and never raises it.

1,000 actions a day for each command

Each of Demographic and Health Surveys's commands stops at 1,000 actions a day on the account it reaches, whichever terminal or AI asks, and starts again at midnight UTC. Only that command stops.

Every action on one record

Each command a terminal runs on Demographic and Health Surveys is a row on GBrain's activity log: which terminal, which account, what it did and whether it was allowed, refusals included. gbrainio activity ls --tool dhs-program reads it back.

From a terminal, Claude Code or Codex

Demographic and Health Surveys's own server lists its commands only to a terminal that has connected it, so they are not on this page. Once Demographic and Health Surveys is connected, gbrainio tool help dhs-program says what each of them does, and gbrainio tool ls lists them with everything else the terminal can run. Claude Code and Codex run the same commands, at the same level, on the same record.

From Demographic and Health Surveys

GBrain reaches Demographic and Health Surveys at its own server, api.dhsprogram.com. On Demographic and Health Surveys's own pages: its website, how the connection works, its terms of service and its privacy policy.

The GBrain Tools command line works with every other application GBrain connects, each with a page like this one.
