politics_resolve read-only
Resolve a messy name string (e.g. "Rep. Johnson", "cornyn") to a canonical official — returns the best match with a 0-1 confidence score and ranked alternatives. Use this first when you have a name but not an ID; then call politics_official with best.id. Add state to disambiguate.

politics_bill read-only
Details of a US bill or resolution: vote breakdown, sponsors, cosponsors, status, and origin proof.
