{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}crs_search — Find Congressional Research Service (CRS) reports on a policy topic, statute or programme and get their titles, summaries, topics, authors, publication dates and report numbers. CRS is the nonpartisan research service that writes explanatory analysis for Congress: what a law does, how a federal programme works, what the policy options are, what a proposal would cost. Covers 14,000+ current reports back to 2018 across every subject Congress legislates on — trade, health, immigration, defense, tax, energy, housing. Ranks titles and CRS summaries; use crs_report to read a report in full.crs_report — Read one Congressional Research Service report in full by its report number (R43255, IF13006, LSB10123, IN12304). Returns the complete text of the current version, plus its authors, CRS subject topics, publication date, the bills and public laws it cites, how old the text is, and a statement that CRS analysis is persuasive rather than binding. Use it after crs_search, or directly when a report number is already known.crs_recent — What the Congressional Research Service has published or revised lately — the newest CRS reports and updates, newest first, with their topics and summaries. Answers "what is CRS saying about current legislation right now" and tracks the analysis that follows a bill, a rule or a crisis. Filter by CRS topic or product family.crs_topics — The Congressional Research Service's own subject taxonomy, with how many reports carry each term — the legal filter values for crs_search and crs_recent. Also lists CRS analysts by output, and the product families. Call this before filtering by topic: CRS writes 'U.S. Trade Policy', and a guessed 'Trade' matches nothing.Code samples (curl / TypeScript / one-click client install), schemas, and the live playground are on the pack page:
