{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}search_congressional_documents — Search the full text of official U.S. congressional documents — hearing transcripts, committee reports, committee prints, House/Senate documents, and the Congressional Record. Use for "what was said in the congressional hearing about X", "the committee report on Y", "congressional testimony on Z", "what did Congress publish about ...". Returns matching documents with their official citation, date, congress number and a govinfo.gov link; pass the returned ids to get_congressional_document_text to read the actual wording. Searches PUBLISHED documents only — a hearing transcript appears months after the hearing. Note that a person named in a document is not thereby accused of anything.get_congressional_document_text — Read the actual text of a congressional document — the full transcript, report or Congressional Record entry — so an answer can quote the source instead of paraphrasing from memory. Pass the package_id (and granule_id where the search returned one) from search_congressional_documents. Returns the document text, its official citation, the page range where the source prints one, and the govinfo.gov URL. Hearing transcripts run to hundreds of pages, so text is truncated by default — raise max_chars or use the offset to page through it.list_congressional_document_types — List the kinds of congressional documents that can be searched (hearings, committee reports, committee prints, House/Senate documents, Congressional Record), what each contains, and what this source does and does not cover. Call this when unsure which doc_type answers a question.Code samples (curl / TypeScript / one-click client install), schemas, and the live playground are on the pack page:
