Economic data tool bug fixed: keyword matching improved

A bug in the canli-markets-mcp tool allowed agents to receive incorrect economic data when requesting information.

    \"silver price\" returned US CPI: plain-word lookups that answer the wrong question

    <p>Agents rarely pass the exact ID a data source wants. They pass words: "10 year treasury yield", "core inflation", "silver price". So most tools that wrap a data source have a small resolver that turns words into an ID. Mine had a bug that never raised an error.</p> <h2> The bu…
