• search_bills

  Search or list legislation with structured filters (GET /v1/bills). Use this when you know the jurisdiction, sponsor, topic, or status you want. Every filter is optional and they combine with AND. A bill number typed into q (e.g. 'HB 1', 'SB0002') matches that bill directly. Returns bill summaries plus pagination; call get_bill for the full record. Corpus is 2026-forward only. status_id values: 1=Introduced, 2=In Committee, 3=Passed One Chamber, 4=Passed Both Chambers, 5=Signed into Law, 6=Vetoed, 7=Failed/Dead, 8=Chaptered. Aggregate buckets: passed={4,5,8}, failed={6,7}, alive={1,2,3}.

  Parameters:

  • q — string — Free-text search across title, description, and subject names.
  • limit — integer — Max rows to return (default 25).
  • state — string — 2-letter postal code (e.g. FL), DC, or US for Congress.
  • topic — string — Canonical topic slug, e.g. 'healthcare'. See list_topics.
  • offset — integer — Pagination offset.
  • subject — string — Raw subject name (ILIKE match).
  • status_id — integer — Filter by status. status_id values: 1=Introduced, 2=In Committee, 3=Passed One Chamber, 4=Passed Both Chambers, 5=Signed into Law, 6=Vetoed, 7=Failed/Dead, 8=Chaptered. Aggregate buckets: passed={4,5,8}, failed={6,7}, alive={1,2,3}.
  • session_id — integer — Narrow to one session.
  • bill_number — string — Bill number, compact (HB1) or padded (HB0001).
  • updated_since — string — ISO-8601 date or timestamp; only bills changed since then.
  • title_contains — string — Substring match against the bill title only.
  • include_sponsors — boolean — Attach a sponsors array (people_id, name, party, district, sponsor_type) to every bill. Use this whenever the answer needs to name who sponsored the bills.
  • sponsor_last_name — string — Last name of a bill sponsor.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• semantic_search_bills

  Vector search over the full text of every bill (GET /v1/search/semantic): describe what you want in plain English — 'protecting kids from social media', 'limits on rent increases' — and get the closest bills with a match_score. Prefer this over search_bills for questions and topics; prefer search_bills for a known bill number, sponsor, or status filter, and keyword_search_bills for exact terms that must all appear. Returns bill_id, bill_number, title, description, state_abbr, status_id. Corpus is 2026-forward only. status_id values: 1=Introduced, 2=In Committee, 3=Passed One Chamber, 4=Passed Both Chambers, 5=Signed into Law, 6=Vetoed, 7=Failed/Dead, 8=Chaptered. Aggregate buckets: passed={4,5,8}, failed={6,7}, alive={1,2,3}.

  Parameters:

  • query (required) — string — The question or description, in plain English.
  • limit — integer — Max rows (default 25).
  • state — array — Restrict to these jurisdictions (postal codes, DC, US). Omit for all.
  • threshold — number — Minimum similarity 0-1 (default 0.3). Lower it to widen the net.

• get_bill

  Fetch a single bill by its numeric bill_id (GET /v1/bills/{bill_id}), optionally merging in sub-resources: votes (roll calls with tallies), sponsors, history (action timeline), texts (version metadata), amendments, subjects, analyses (staff analyses), calendar (scheduled events), citations (statutes the bill touches), referrals (committee referrals), sast (same-as / similar-to companion bills in the other chamber or other states), supplements (fiscal notes and summaries). analyses and citations are populated only for the deeper-coverage states. Each include is a separate API call, so ask only for what you need. Pass detail:true to get everything in one round trip instead. Get a bill_id from search_bills or semantic_search_bills. status_id values: 1=Introduced, 2=In Committee, 3=Passed One Chamber, 4=Passed Both Chambers, 5=Signed into Law, 6=Vetoed, 7=Failed/Dead, 8=Chaptered. Aggregate buckets: passed={4,5,8}, failed={6,7}, alive={1,2,3}.

  Parameters:

  • bill_id (required) — integer — Numeric bill_id from a search result.
  • detail — boolean — true = one request to /v1/bills/{id}/detail with every sub-resource merged (the cheapest way to get everything). Ignores include.
  • include — array — Sub-resources to merge into the result: votes, sponsors, history, texts, amendments, subjects, analyses, calendar, citations, referrals, sast, supplements.
  • max_items — integer — Cap on items per included list (default 50).

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• get_bill_diff

  Compare two versions of a bill's text (GET /v1/bills/{bill_id}/diff): a unified diff plus similarity, added/removed line and character counts, and changed-section highlights. Get the two version ids from get_bill with include:['texts'] — each text row's `text_id`. Pass them as `from` (the earlier version) and `to` (the later version). Diffs are precomputed, so only bills that have more than one text version return one.

  Parameters:

  • bill_id (required) — bill_id the two texts belong to.
  • from (required) — Text-version id of the earlier version (the baseline).
  • to (required) — Text-version id of the later version to compare against.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• keyword_search_bills

  Keyword search where EVERY term must appear (GET /v1/search/bills). Use when the user gives specific words that all have to be present, e.g. ['short-term rental', 'tax'].

  Parameters:

  • bill_id (required) — bill_id from a search result.
  • include_whitespace — boolean — Include whitespace-only changes (default false).

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• list_legislators

  Search or list legislators (GET /v1/legislators) by jurisdiction, chamber, party, district, or name. This is how you turn a name into the people_id that get_legislator needs. Filters combine with AND.

  Parameters:

  • q — string — Name search.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• get_roll_call

  Fetch a roll call by roll_call_id (GET /v1/votes/{roll_call_id}): the motion, chamber, date and yea/nay/absent tallies. Add include:['details'] to also pull how every individual member voted (vote_id 1=Yea, 2=Nay, 3=Not Voting, 4=Absent) — this is the tool for 'how did each legislator vote on this'. Get a roll_call_id from get_bill with include:['votes'].

  Parameters:

  • roll_call_id (required) — integer — Numeric roll_call_id (int64 — may exceed int32).

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• get_legislator_scorecard

  One-call voting and sponsorship profile for a legislator (GET /v1/legislators/{people_id}/scorecard): participation, party-line alignment, bills sponsored and passed, notable votes. This is the tool for 'how does X vote' or 'is X effective'. Get people_id from list_legislators (q=name).

  Parameters:

  • committee_id (required) — integer — Numeric committee_id.
  • include — array — Sub-resources to merge in: members, hearings.
  • max_items — integer — Cap on items per included list (default 50).

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

  Scheduled committee hearings across committees (GET /v1/hearings), filterable by jurisdiction and start date. Use this to answer 'what is being heard this week' or to track when a committee next meets. For hearings on one specific committee use get_committee with include:['hearings']; for one specific bill use get_bill with include:['calendar'].

  Near-real-time feed of what changed (GET /v1/changes). Poll with since=<ISO timestamp> to get everything newer than your cursor; with no since it defaults to the last hour. Reason types include NewBill, StatusChange, Text, Vote and Amendment. Use this for monitoring and incremental sync — 'what moved in Florida since yesterday' — rather than re-scanning search_bills.

  Parameters:

  • limit — integer — Max rows to return (default 50).
  • since — string — ISO-8601 cursor. Omit for the last hour. Pass the newest timestamp you have already seen.

• list_topics

  The canonical topic taxonomy with per-topic bill counts (GET /v1/topics). Call this first to find the right slug for the topic filter on search_bills, instead of guessing one. Pass a slug to get that topic's detail and a sample of the raw subject names folded into it (GET /v1/topics/{slug}); to get the topic's actual bills, use search_bills with topic=<slug>.

  Parameters:

  • slug — string — Optional topic slug, e.g. 'healthcare'. Omit to list the whole taxonomy.
  • max_items — integer — Cap on rows returned (default 200).

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• list_subjects

  The raw subject taxonomy with per-subject bill counts (GET /v1/subjects). Subjects are the fine-grained categories the legislatures themselves assign to bills — narrower and more numerous than the curated topic slugs from list_topics. Use this to find a subject_id to filter search_bills by, or to gauge what a jurisdiction is legislating on. Scope with `state` and narrow with `q`.

  Parameters:

  • q — string — Case-insensitive subject-name search.
  • state — string — 2-letter postal code (e.g. FL), DC, or US for Congress.
  • max_items — integer — Cap on rows returned (default 200).

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• list_sessions

  Legislative sessions (GET /v1/sessions): regular and special sessions with their years, start/sine-die dates and a session_id. Use this to resolve which session a bill belongs to, to find the current session for a state, or to pass session_id as a filter to search_bills. Omit `state` to list every jurisdiction's sessions. Corpus is 2026-forward only.

  Parameters:

  • state — string — 2-letter postal code (e.g. FL), DC, or US for Congress.
  • max_items — integer — Cap on rows returned (default 200).

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• get_session_dashboard

  Headline counts for one legislative session (GET /v1/sessions/{id}/dashboard): bills filed, passed, signed, vetoed, roll calls, active legislators. Start here for 'how is the 2026 Florida session going'. Get session_id from list_sessions.

  Parameters:

  • session_id (required) — session_id from list_sessions (filter by state).

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• get_session_sponsor_stats

  Legislators ranked by bills sponsored and passed in one session (GET /v1/sessions/{id}/sponsor-stats). Each row has bills_sponsored, bills_primary, bills_passed, bills_primary_passed and pass_rate (passed = status 4, 5 or 8). This is the one call for 'who is most active or effective this session' and 'which senator passed the most bills': set chamber and sort:'passed' (or 'primary_passed' to count only bills they carried). Committees filed as sponsors are excluded by default. Get session_id from list_sessions.

  Parameters:

  • session_id (required) — session_id from list_sessions (filter by state).
  • sort — string — Ranking key (default sponsored).
  • limit — integer — Max rows (default 40).
  • party — string — Restrict to one party.
  • chamber — string — Restrict to one chamber.
  • include_committees — boolean — Include committee sponsor rows (default false).

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• get_session_vote_participation

  How many roll calls each legislator voted in versus missed during one session (GET /v1/sessions/{id}/vote-participation). Use for attendance questions. Get session_id from list_sessions.

  Parameters:

  • session_id (required) — session_id from list_sessions (filter by state).
  • limit — integer — Max rows (default 50).

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• list_session_legislators

  Every legislator who served in one session (GET /v1/sessions/{id}/legislators), with people_id. Use list_legislators for the current roster by state; use this for a specific past or special session. Get session_id from list_sessions.

  Parameters:

  • session_id (required) — session_id from list_sessions (filter by state).

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• get_session_breakdown

  Bill count per status (by:'status', on the status_id ladder) or per subject (by:'subject') for one session (GET /v1/sessions/{id}/status-counts or /subject-counts). Get session_id from list_sessions. status_id values: 1=Introduced, 2=In Committee, 3=Passed One Chamber, 4=Passed Both Chambers, 5=Signed into Law, 6=Vetoed, 7=Failed/Dead, 8=Chaptered. Aggregate buckets: passed={4,5,8}, failed={6,7}, alive={1,2,3}.

  Parameters:

  • session_id (required) — session_id from list_sessions (filter by state).
  • by (required) — string — Group by status or by subject.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• list_states

  The jurisdiction directory (GET /v1/states): the 50 states, D.C. and the U.S. Congress with their state_id, 2-letter code and full name. Returns the full list (52 rows) so you can resolve a name to a code or enumerate everything the corpus covers. For how COMPLETE each jurisdiction's data is, use get_coverage instead.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• get_coverage

  Per-state depth snapshot (GET /v1/coverage): how COMPLETE each jurisdiction's data is — bill counts, the share of bills holding at least one vote, text or sponsor, and whether the legislature is currently in session. Use it before drawing conclusions from a thin result set, to tell 'no such bills' apart from 'this state is thinly covered'. Read the completeness ratios rather than the raw percentages: most bills die in committee without ever getting a roll call, so a low pct_with_votes usually reflects the legislature, not a gap in the data. Served from a materialised snapshot; `computed_at` gives its age.

  Parameters:

  • max_items — integer — Cap on rows returned (default 60 — all jurisdictions).

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• get_trending_bills

  Bills with the most news coverage in the window (GET /v1/trending), optionally for one state. Use for 'what's in the news' or 'hot bills right now'. Returns bill summaries with mention counts; call get_bill for detail.

  Parameters:

  • days — integer — Look-back window in days (default 7).
  • limit — integer — Max rows (default 20).
  • state — string — Postal code, DC, or US. Omit for all.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• list_bills_by_stage

  Bills whose LATEST action in the window falls in a stage (GET /v1/bills-by-stage): introduced, committee, passed, executive (with the governor, signed, or vetoed), amendments, other. Fleet-wide across all jurisdictions — there is no state filter, so filter the rows by state_id or state_name yourself. Classified from the action text, not status_id. Use for 'what passed this week' or 'what reached the governor'. Stage values are lowercase.

  Parameters:

  • stage (required) — string — Lowercase stage name.
  • days — integer — Look-back window in days (default 7).
  • limit — integer — Max rows (default 100).

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• get_weekly_stage_breakdown

  One row per stage with the number of bills whose latest action landed there in the window (GET /v1/bills-weekly-breakdown). All jurisdictions combined. Use for a national 'how much moved this week' number; use get_session_dashboard for one state.

  Parameters:

  • days — integer — Look-back window in days (default 7).

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• list_candidates

  Search the election-candidate directory (GET /v1/candidates): people running for office. Filters combine with AND. Roughly a third carry an FEC filer id and sitting members of Congress carry a Bioguide id; both are null otherwise. Rows also carry people_id where the person has a legislative voting record — pass it to get_legislator / get_legislator_scorecard to go from candidate to voting history in one hop. Covers STATE and federal candidates. Pass a candidate id to get_candidate for the full record.

  Parameters:

  • cycle — Election cycle / year filter, e.g. 2026.
  • limit — integer — Max rows to return (default 50).
  • state — string — 2-letter postal code filter.
  • fec_id — string — Filter by FEC filer id.
  • office — string — Office filter: H, S, P, House, Senate, President, or a whole word from a state office name (min 3 chars; unknown short values are rejected).
  • offset — integer — Pagination offset.
  • bioguide — string — Filter by federal Bioguide id.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• get_candidate

  Fetch one election candidate by id (GET /v1/candidates/{id}): their party, office, district and cycle, plus an FEC filer id where the campaign has filed and a Bioguide id for sitting members of Congress. When people_id is set, the candidate has a legislative voting record — pass it to get_legislator or get_legislator_scorecard to go from candidate to voting history in one hop. Get an id from list_candidates.

  Parameters:

  • id (required) — Candidate id from list_candidates or get_midterms.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• get_midterms

  The election slate for 2026-11-03 (GET /v1/midterms): races, candidates and ballot measures per state, with official results where available. All data is official state election-office and FEC content collected by Delilah — no third-party attribution is required. live_results carries ONE ENTRY PER CONTEST, each with `contest` (e.g. primary:DEM, runoff:REP) and `party`: a closed primary returns each party separately and vote_pct is the share of THAT party's ballot, so never compare or rank candidates across two contests. Use for 'who is running for X' and results questions. Never call or project a race; report counts exactly as reported.

  Parameters:

  • q — string — Candidate or race name search.
  • year — integer — Election year (default 2026).
  • level — string — federal | governor | state_executive | state_legislative
  • limit — integer — Max rows (default 50).
  • state — string — Postal code. Omit for all states.
  • offset — integer — Pagination offset.
  • chamber — string — House | Senate

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• get_ballot_measure

  Ballot measures (GET /v1/measures): the list for a state, or one measure by its number (e.g. 'Amendment 1') with full text, summary and official source URL. Use for 'what's on the ballot in X' and 'what does Amendment N do'.

  Parameters:

  • state (required) — string — Postal code.
  • q — string — Title search.
  • type — string — Measure type filter.
  • limit — integer
  • number — string — Exact measure number (e.g. 'Amendment 1') to fetch one measure.
  • offset — integer

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• list_districts

  District metadata by state and type (GET /v1/districts): congressional, state senate, state house. Pass district_id with boundary:true to get the polygon as GeoJSON (GET /v1/districts/{id}/boundary) — it is large, so set simplify (degrees, e.g. 0.01) to shrink it. Match districts NUMERICALLY (district_number), never by label text.

  Parameters:

  • type — string — congressional | sldu (state senate/upper) | sldl (state house/lower)
  • limit — integer
  • state — string — Postal code.
  • offset — integer
  • boundary — boolean — true = return the GeoJSON polygon for district_id.
  • simplify — number — Simplification tolerance in degrees.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• get_candidate_photo

  The URL of a candidate's official portrait (GET /v1/photos/{candidate_id} returns the image bytes). Sources are official state-legislature and congressional portraits, public-domain and licensed images only — never a third party's photo library — and each carries a license and attribution string that MUST be shown when the license requires it (Wikimedia CC BY). Returns null when the candidate has no accepted portrait — which is the COMMON case: only about a tenth of the 2026 field has one (11%), so design for an initials-avatar default. Candidate rows from list_candidates and get_midterms already include photo_url, so call this only when you have just an id.

  Parameters:

  • candidate_id (required) — Candidate id.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• list_statute_coverage

  Which jurisdictions' codified law is loaded, and how big and current it is (GET /v1/statutes/coverage): per state the number of codes, sections, bill links and the edition it is current through. Pass state to list that state's codes (GET /v1/statutes/codes) — the code_id values used by get_statute lookups. Call this first to know whether a state's statutes are available.

  Parameters:

  • state — string — 2-letter postal code (e.g. NJ), DC, GU, or US for the U.S. Code.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• search_statutes

  Full-text search of a state's codified law (GET /v1/statutes/search). Use for 'what does the law say about X' and to find the section a bill or ballot measure changes. Returns matching sections with headings and excerpts; fetch the whole section with get_statute. Only states whose code is loaded resolve to section text (see list_statute_coverage); a link to a section we hold carries resolved:true and the text, otherwise just the citation as written.

  Parameters:

  • state (required) — string — 2-letter postal code (e.g. NJ), DC, GU, or US for the U.S. Code.
  • q (required) — string — Words to find in section headings and text.
  • code — string — Restrict to one code (code_key from list_statute_coverage), e.g. a California code.
  • limit — integer

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• get_statute

  One section of law with full text and its place in the code (GET /v1/statutes/sections/{section_id}, or by citation via GET /v1/statutes/lookup). Give section_id from a search or a bill/measure link, or state + citation exactly as the code prints it (e.g. '39:4-50', '790.01', '18-3-102'). Set include_bills:true to also return the bills that amend, create, repeal or cite the section. Only states whose code is loaded resolve to section text (see list_statute_coverage); a link to a section we hold carries resolved:true and the text, otherwise just the citation as written.

  Parameters:

  • code — string — code_key when a citation exists in more than one code of the state.
  • state — string — 2-letter postal code (e.g. NJ), DC, GU, or US for the U.S. Code.
  • citation — string — Section citation without the code prefix, e.g. '39:4-50'.
  • section_id — integer — section_id from a statute search or link.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• get_bill_statutes

  The sections of existing law a bill amends, creates, repeals or cites (GET /v1/bills/{bill_id}/statutes), classified by how it touches each, with the current text of sections we hold. Use for 'what current law does this bill change'. Get bill_id from search_bills. Only states whose code is loaded resolve to section text (see list_statute_coverage); a link to a section we hold carries resolved:true and the text, otherwise just the citation as written.

  Parameters:

  • bill_id (required) — integer — Numeric bill_id from a search result.

• get_measure_statutes

  The sections of existing law a 2026 ballot measure amends, creates, repeals or cites (GET /v1/measures/{state}/{number}/statutes). Use for 'which laws does Prop X / Question Y change'. Read from the measure's official text: constitutional amendments cite the constitution (not loaded), and a measure whose text is not yet published returns nothing. Treat the list as a floor. Only states whose code is loaded resolve to section text (see list_statute_coverage); a link to a section we hold carries resolved:true and the text, otherwise just the citation as written.

  Parameters:

  • state (required) — string — 2-letter postal code (e.g. NJ), DC, GU, or US for the U.S. Code.
  • number (required) — string — Measure number as served by get_ballot_measure, e.g. 'Proposition 319'.

  Hints: read-only not declared · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world not declared

• get_usage

  The current key's tier, monthly cap, requests used and remaining, and when the period resets (GET /v1/_meta/usage). Call this when a request is rate-limited (HTTP 429) or the user asks about their plan.

• manage_webhooks

  Manage the key's webhook subscriptions (/v1/webhooks). action:'list' is read-only. 'create' REGISTERS a URL that Delilah will POST to on the chosen events — it changes the account, so it requires confirm:true and the user's explicit go-ahead. 'test' queues a sample delivery to an existing subscription. 'delete' removes one (confirm:true). Events: bill_introduced, status_change, vote_recorded, text_updated, passed, vetoed, signed, amendment_added. Optional filters: states (postal codes), subjects.

  Parameters:

  • action (required) — string
  • events — array — create: at least one event type.
  • states — array — create: only fire for these jurisdictions.
  • confirm — boolean — Required true for create and delete.
  • subjects — array — create: only fire for these subjects.
  • webhook_id — string — test/delete: the subscription id from list.
  • webhook_url — string — create: HTTPS URL to deliver to.
