politics_alignment
politics_alignment
Compare an official's stated positions against their actual roll-call votes, per topic — what they SAY vs how they VOTED, both source-linked. Does NOT label agreement/contradiction (you judge and cite); surfaces the juxtaposition no unsigned source can. Use official id.

{'type': 'object', 'required': ['id'], 'properties': {'id': {'type': 'integer', 'description': 'Official ID'}}}
politics_bill
Bill Details
Details of a US bill or resolution: vote breakdown, sponsors, cosponsors, status, and origin proof. Returns metadata, a short text excerpt, and a text index by default; full legislative text is omitted because omnibus bills exceed typical token caps. The include_text parameter controls whether the complete text is returned in a single response.

politics_bills_search
Search Bills
Search bills by topic, sponsor, status, or congress. Returns bill metadata and whether full text is available.

Idempotent
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'properties': {'limit': {'type': 'integer', 'default': 20}, 'topic': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Topic keyword (e.g. crypto, defense, healthcare)'}, 'status': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Bill status: introduced, committee, passed_house, passed_senate, enacted'}, 'sponsor': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Sponsor name or bioguide ID'}, 'congress': {'type': 'integer', 'default': 119, 'description': 'Congress number (119 = 2025-2026)'}}}
politics_bill_text
Bill Text Slice
One signed, bounded slice of a bill's full legislative text, addressed by part number or section label. Each response carries part and total_parts, next_part, the slice's part_sha256, and the whole-bill content_hash. Parts 1 through total_parts concatenated in order hash to content_hash, so a bill too large to return in a single response remains verifiable as complete and unaltered.
