What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 8, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

• search_bills

  Search or list legislation with structured filters (GET /v1/bills). Use this when you know the jurisdiction, sponsor, topic, or status you want. Every filter is optional and they combine with AND. A bill number typed into q (e.g. 'HB 1', 'SB0002') matches that bill directly. Retu

• semantic_search_bills

  Vector search over the full text of every bill (GET /v1/search/semantic): describe what you want in plain English — 'protecting kids from social media', 'limits on rent increases' — and get the closest bills with a match_score. Prefer this over search_bills for questions and topi

• get_bill

  Fetch a single bill by its numeric bill_id (GET /v1/bills/{bill_id}), optionally merging in sub-resources: votes (roll calls with tallies), sponsors, history (action timeline), texts (version metadata), amendments, subjects, analyses (staff analyses), calendar (scheduled events),

• get_bill_diff

  Compare two versions of a bill's text (GET /v1/bills/{bill_id}/diff): a unified diff plus similarity, added/removed line and character counts, and changed-section highlights. Get the two version ids from get_bill with include:['texts'] — each text row's `text_id`. Pass them as `f

• keyword_search_bills

  Keyword search where EVERY term must appear (GET /v1/search/bills). Use when the user gives specific words that all have to be present, e.g. ['short-term rental', 'tax']. Prefer semantic_search_bills for questions and search_bills for structured filters. Up to 10 terms. Returns b

• get_bill_text

  The cleaned plain text of one bill-text version (GET /v1/texts/{text_id}), entities decoded, ready to quote or summarize. Get text_id from get_bill with include:['texts'] (each version has a date and type). Texts longer than 40,000 characters are clipped with a '[truncated]' mark

• get_bill_text_history

  Timeline of all computed diffs between successive text versions of one bill (GET /v1/bills/{bill_id}/changes): what changed, when, and how much. Use get_bill_diff for one specific pair of versions. Get bill_id from search_bills or semantic_search_bills.

• list_legislators

  Search or list legislators (GET /v1/legislators) by jurisdiction, chamber, party, district, or name. This is how you turn a name into the people_id that get_legislator needs. Filters combine with AND.

• get_legislator

  Fetch a legislator's profile by people_id (GET /v1/legislators/{people_id}), optionally merging in votes (every roll call they are recorded on, newest first, with their individual position: 1=Yea, 2=Nay, 3=Not Voting, 4=Absent) and bills (legislation they sponsor, with sponsor_ty

• get_roll_call

  Fetch a roll call by roll_call_id (GET /v1/votes/{roll_call_id}): the motion, chamber, date and yea/nay/absent tallies. Add include:['details'] to also pull how every individual member voted (vote_id 1=Yea, 2=Nay, 3=Not Voting, 4=Absent) — this is the tool for 'how did each legis

• get_legislator_scorecard

  One-call voting and sponsorship profile for a legislator (GET /v1/legislators/{people_id}/scorecard): participation, party-line alignment, bills sponsored and passed, notable votes. This is the tool for 'how does X vote' or 'is X effective'. Get people_id from list_legislators (q

• list_committees

  List legislative committees (GET /v1/committees), filterable by jurisdiction, chamber, or name search. Returns the committee_id values that get_committee needs.

• get_committee

  Fetch a committee by committee_id (GET /v1/committees/{committee_id}), optionally merging in members (its roster, with roles) and hearings (its scheduled meetings). Find a committee_id with list_committees.

• list_hearings

  Committee hearings and meetings across committees (GET /v1/hearings), newest first, filterable by jurisdiction and start date. Use this to answer 'what is being heard this week' or to track when a committee next meets. Rows with has_transcript:true carry a verbatim transcript (tr

• get_hearing

  One committee hearing or meeting (GET /v1/hearings/{hearing_id}) with its verbatim transcript where one exists (has_transcript in list_hearings; NY public hearings and FL committee meetings carry them). Transcripts can exceed a million characters, so this returns a window of the

• list_floor_transcripts

  Verbatim stenographic records of chamber floor sessions (GET /v1/floor-transcripts), newest first: each sitting's date, session type, length and official PDF. Coverage: the New York Senate, every sitting from 2025 on. Read one with get_floor_transcript. For committee hearings use

• get_floor_transcript

  The verbatim record of one chamber sitting (GET /v1/floor-transcripts/{transcript_id}): debate, explanations of vote and roll calls as spoken on the floor. A sitting can run to 850,000 characters, so this returns a window (offset, max_chars, next_offset) or, with search, every pa

• get_changes

  Near-real-time feed of what changed (GET /v1/changes). Poll with since= to get everything newer than your cursor; with no since it defaults to the last hour. Reason types include NewBill, StatusChange, Text, Vote and Amendment. Use this for monitoring and incremental sync — 'what

• list_topics

  The canonical topic taxonomy with per-topic bill counts (GET /v1/topics). Call this first to find the right slug for the topic filter on search_bills, instead of guessing one. Pass a slug to get that topic's detail and a sample of the raw subject names folded into it (GET /v1/top

• list_subjects

  The raw subject taxonomy with per-subject bill counts (GET /v1/subjects). Subjects are the fine-grained categories the legislatures themselves assign to bills — narrower and more numerous than the curated topic slugs from list_topics. Use this to find a subject_id to filter searc

  Bill count per status (by:'status', on the status_id ladder) or per subject (by:'subject') for one session (GET /v1/sessions/{id}/status-counts or /subject-counts). Get session_id from list_sessions. status_id values: 1=Introduced, 2=In Committee, 3=Passed One Chamber, 4=Passed B

• list_states

  The jurisdiction directory (GET /v1/states): the 50 states, D.C. and the U.S. Congress with their state_id, 2-letter code and full name. Returns the full list (52 rows) so you can resolve a name to a code or enumerate everything the corpus covers. For how COMPLETE each jurisdicti

• get_coverage

  Per-state depth snapshot (GET /v1/coverage): how COMPLETE each jurisdiction's data is — bill counts, the share of bills holding at least one vote, text or sponsor, and whether the legislature is currently in session. Use it before drawing conclusions from a thin result set, to te

• get_trending_bills

• list_bills_by_stage

  Bills whose LATEST action in the window falls in a stage (GET /v1/bills-by-stage): introduced, committee, passed, executive (with the governor, signed, or vetoed), amendments, other. Fleet-wide across all jurisdictions — there is no state filter, so filter the rows by state_id or

• get_weekly_stage_breakdown

  One row per stage with the number of bills whose latest action landed there in the window (GET /v1/bills-weekly-breakdown). All jurisdictions combined. Use for a national 'how much moved this week' number; use get_session_dashboard for one state.

• list_candidates

  Search the election-candidate directory (GET /v1/candidates): people running for office. Filters combine with AND. Roughly a third carry an FEC filer id and sitting members of Congress carry a Bioguide id; both are null otherwise. Rows also carry people_id where the person has a

• list_districts

  District metadata by state and type (GET /v1/districts): congressional, state senate, state house. Pass district_id with boundary:true to get the polygon as GeoJSON (GET /v1/districts/{id}/boundary) — it is large, so set simplify (degrees, e.g. 0.01) to shrink it. Match districts

• get_candidate_photo

  The URL of a candidate's official portrait (GET /v1/photos/{candidate_id} returns the image bytes). Sources are official state-legislature and congressional portraits, public-domain and licensed images only — never a third party's photo library — and each carries a license and at
