What it can do
| Tool | What it says it does |
|---|---|
build_legislative_evidence_packet | Compile a citation-ready evidence packet for a bill: full official record, legislative history timeline, votes with member-level detail, and hearings -- each explicitly labeled official vs. derived with source URLs. Returns a `how_to_cite` block with a one-line `cite_as` sentence, a… |
build_policy_brief | Build a citation-first comparison of one to twelve registry records. The brief preserves the registry's methodology and limitations and does not produce legal advice, compliance determinations, or a claim that the selected set is exhaustive. Supply stable slugs returned by… |
compare_bill_versions | Deterministic diff (unified + structured) between two versions of a bill's extracted text. Defaults to earliest vs. latest texted version if version ids are omitted. Errors if fewer than 2 versions have extracted text. Result is labeled 'derived' (computed by Bill Commons, not an… |
find_similar_bills | Find bills with similar titles via deterministic trigram similarity, across jurisdictions. Labeled 'derived' -- not an official cross-reference or companion-bill designation. |
get_active_sessions | List legislative sessions currently flagged active, optionally filtered by jurisdiction (two-letter state code or name). |
get_bill_record | Fetch the full record for one bill: metadata, sponsors, subjects, actions, versions, and vote-event summaries. Look up by canonical bill_id (UUID), or by jurisdiction + identifier (+ optional session to disambiguate). For a human bill number like HB 123, use jurisdiction="NC"… |
get_jurisdiction_coverage | Return the jurisdiction_coverage state-machine status for one state (abbreviation or name), or the full stored coverage matrix if state is omitted. Public-registry and unlisted row counts are explicit. Includes bounded retained official-source observation health and evidence links… |
get_policy_development | Retrieve one full, source-labelled policy development by its stable slug. The response can include cited sources, normalized obligations, explicit analysis-only verification mappings, and recorded change history. A null response means only that the slug is absent from this bounded… |
get_vote_details | Fetch vote event(s) with member-level (yes/no/other/absent) vote records. Provide vote_event_id for one vote, or bill_id for all recorded votes on that bill. |
list_topics | List Bill Commons' curated cross-state topic trackers (e.g. artificial intelligence, youth online safety, platform accountability, cybersecurity, cryptocurrency, data privacy, local government & preemption) -- the entry point for "what subjects does Bill Commons track across all 50… |
search_legislation | Search FULL BILL TEXT -- not just known-bill-number lookup. `q` is matched against titles, descriptions, AND ingested document text via Postgres websearch_to_tsquery (supports "quoted phrases", OR, and -exclusion, same syntax as a search engine), with a fuzzy pg_trgm… |
search_policy_developments | Search Bill Commons' bounded, source-labelled frontier-AI policy registry. This is not a comprehensive global or federal legislative database. It returns only the curated records currently held by the registry, including its coverage statement and retrieval timestamps. Use… |
trace_legislative_history | Full chronological legislative history for a bill: merged timeline of actions, version publications, and votes, plus related-bill links. |
