Example prompt: Can you pull the average Dutch gas and electricity tariffs from CBS for the last 6 months, including VAT, so I can see how prices have been trending?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need official, government-sourced average energy tariffs for the Netherlands specifically, rather than individual supplier pricing or prices for other countries. Ideal for trend analysis, cost estimation, and policy research based on CBS statistics. Prefer this over scraping or commercial data providers when you need reliable, freely licensed (CC BY 4.0) Dutch energy price data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid 'months' parameter (outside 1–24 range) returns a validation error
- Invalid 'vat' parameter value returns an error
- Network or upstream CBS data unavailability may cause 5xx errors
- No data available for very recent months if CBS has not yet published figures

## How this service works

Average consumer energy tariffs in the Netherlands per month from Statistics Netherlands (CBS table 85592NED): gas and electricity transport and supply tariffs, variable contract prices, dynamic electricity contracts, energy tax and tax reduction, including or excluding VAT. Use it for energy cost estimates and trend analysis. Averages, not prices of individual suppliers. CBS, CC BY 4.0.

## Output
