Tools (17)

get_overview

Provides a comprehensive overview of recent parliamentary activities, including the most recent documents and MPs celebrating birthdays today. The response contains structured data with two main sections: 'recentDocuments' (listing the latest parliamentary documents with their IDs, titles, types, dates, and URLs) and 'birthdays' (listing MPs celebrating birthdays today). The results are paginated with 10 documents per page. The tool supports iterative pagination - check the pagination.hasMoreDocuments field in the response to determine if additional pages are available. The response includes pagination information showing the current page, whether more documents are available, and the total number of documents retrieved. Applicable when general information about recent parliamentary activities is needed.

birthdays_today

Lists all Members of Parliament celebrating their birthday today, including their names, political parties, and birth dates. The response is a JSON array where each entry contains the MP's ID, name, party affiliation, and other details. This tool takes no parameters as it always returns today's birthdays. Applicable when information about MPs' birthdays is needed.

list_persons

Provides a complete directory of current Members of Parliament with their IDs, names, titles, party affiliations, and faction memberships. The response is a JSON array where each entry contains an MP's full details including unique MP IDs that can be referenced by other tools. This tool takes no parameters as it returns all current MPs. Applicable when comprehensive information about all MPs is needed or when analyzing the composition of parliament by party.

search_tk

Performs a comprehensive search across all parliamentary data including documents, activities, and cases. Returns results matching the provided keyword or phrase. Use this for general searches when you need information on any topic discussed in parliament, regardless of document type or context. Search syntax: Searching for 'Joe Biden' finds documents containing both 'Joe' and 'Biden' anywhere in the text. Searching for "Joe Biden" (with quotes) finds only documents where these words appear next to each other. Searching for 'Hubert NOT Bruls' finds documents containing 'Hubert' but not 'Bruls'. The capital letters in 'NOT' are important. You can also use 'OR' and 'NEAR()' operators.

search_tk_filtered

Performs a search within a specific category of parliamentary data, allowing results to be limited to only documents, activities, or cases. Returns paginated results sorted by date (most recent first). Search syntax supports: keyword searches ('Joe Biden' finds both terms), exact phrase searches ("Joe Biden" with quotes finds the exact phrase), exclusion ('Hubert NOT Bruls' excludes documents with 'Bruls'), and boolean operators ('OR', 'NEAR()'). Results can be returned in 'full' or 'summary' format.
