## Tools (30)

- `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.
- `politics_bill`: 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 by topic, sponsor, status, or congress. Returns bill metadata and whether full text is available.
- `politics_bill_text`: 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.
- `politics_bill_toc`: Section index for a bill: every "SEC. N" heading with its character offset and length, plus the whole-bill origin hash (content_hash) and total text length. A small response that describes the structure of a large bill.
- `politics_bridge_compare`: Compare multiple politicians side-by-side on a bridge page — positions, party, office, campaign finance. Optionally filter to a specific topic.
- `politics_bridge_create`: Create a citizen bridge page — a personalized workspace for tracking representatives, comparing positions, and taking action (write letters, log calls). Returns a shareable URL that any AI agent can collaborate on. Optionally auto-populates with the citizen's state representatives.
- `politics_bridge_letter`: Draft a letter to a politician on the citizen's bridge page. The letter gets an origin hash for proof of content. Returns delivery options (email, web form, USPS, phone).
- `politics_bridge_session`: Current state of a citizen bridge workspace: tracked officials, saved comparisons, drafted actions, and messages.
- `politics_by_state`: Get all current officials for a US state — federal senators and representatives, state legislators, and any indexed local officials. Organized by government level.
- `politics_candidate_feed`: Get a candidate's Campaign Data Standard (CDS) feed: a single machine-readable record of who they are, the offices they hold and seek, their positions in their own words (each source-linked), their voting record by reference, and declared data gaps. This is the standardized, signed feed an AI or reporter uses to grab a candidate's positions and verify they are genuine. Every MCP response is signed; the standalone signed feed is also at /official/{id}/candidate.json. Tier is "rootz-compiled" until the campaign claims and signs it ("candidate-signed").
- `politics_candidates`: Registered federal candidates for the 2026 election cycle, filterable by state, office (senate, house, president), party, or presence of a campaign URL. Returns campaign website, social media links, FEC data, and position and speech counts.
- `politics_changes`: Get recent changes detected across all politicians — position shifts, website updates, new data. Each change links to the before/after snapshots with origin proof.
- `politics_coverage`: Coverage map: per-state, per-dataset completeness (officials by level, positions, finance, state-legislative votes). Shows WHERE the data is deep (federal — complete) vs sparse (local). Use it to know whether silence means "no data captured" rather than "nothing there".
- `politics_create_watchlist`: Creates a Just the Facts watchlist bound to an email address, covering any combination of specific officials, issue topics, and a town with state for local meetings, agendas, and minutes. Sends a double-opt-in confirmation email and returns the bridge workspace URL.
- `politics_methodology`: Get the full transparency methodology — how we collect, assess, extract, sign, and verify political data. Includes quality assessment algorithm (signals + weights), trust levels, data sources, cron schedule, and what we can and cannot prove. Open and auditable.
- `politics_municipalities`: Search US municipalities (cities, towns, villages, counties). Every incorporated place in the US with coordinates. Filter by state, name, or type. Returns website, platform, meeting calendar, and board/commission info where available.
- `politics_official`: Get full details for a specific official by ID — biography, party, office, policy positions, committee assignments, campaign finance, social media, and contact info. All data includes source URLs for verification.
- `politics_origin`: Get origin archive statistics — total snapshots, changes detected, origin proofs recorded, unique URLs tracked. Shows the depth of the political wayback machine.
- `politics_poll`: Get one poll in full: pollster, sponsor, field dates, population, sample size, margin of error, mode, the VERBATIM question(s) asked, per-option toplines, the first-party source_url, and the signature (poll_proof) that binds the exact wording and numbers. This is the ground truth to check any claim about a poll against.
- `politics_polls`: Search the SIGNED public-poll archive. Unlike aggregators, every poll keeps the EXACT question wording, population base (LV/RV/adults), sample size, margin of error, mode, and per-option toplines — first-party sourced, snapshot-hashed, and cryptographically signed (verifiable). Filter by race_key, state, subject (e.g. "approval", "Senate"), pollster, or since (ISO date). Returns a list; call politics_poll {id} for full detail + signature. Use this when a question hinges on what a poll ACTUALLY asked vs how it was reported.
- `politics_positions`: Policy positions across officials by topic, covering who supports or opposes issues such as crypto, stablecoins, AI, healthcare, and guns. Each position carries a source URL and origin hash. Returns compact records by default (id, name, party, state, stance, summary, source) with a total count; the compact parameter controls row detail and offset controls paging.
- `politics_provenance`: Get the complete origin proof chain for an official — every data source, content hash, quality assessment, snapshot history, and verification instructions. Proves where every piece of data came from.
- `politics_represent`: Representation lookup for a US ZIP code: both U.S. Senators, the U.S. House member for that ZIP's congressional district, and the state's statewide executives (governor, attorney general, and similar). Every official carries source_url (the capture origin) and source_link (a public page).
- `politics_resolve`: 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_search`: Search for politicians and elected officials across all levels of US government — federal, state, county, municipal. Filter by name, state, party, level, chamber, or office title. Returns officials with their current office, party, and contact info.
- `politics_speeches`: Search Congressional Record floor speeches by official, topic, date range, or keyword. Returns verbatim text from the official government record with origin proof hash. Every speech is directly citable with a GPO source URL.
- `politics_state_votes`: Search state legislature votes across 26+ US states. Filter by state, topic, or date. Returns bill title, vote result, yes/no counts.
- `politics_stats`: Get summary statistics for the politics.rootz.global database — total officials, breakdown by level, party, state, and chamber. Shows coverage completeness.
- `politics_timeline`: Get the full origin timeline for a politician — every page snapshot, every position change, every data source with hash proof. The political wayback machine. Shows what changed, when, and where the data came from.
