Tool changes

No tool definition changes recorded. A server's first observation is its baseline; later probes record what changes.

Checks run on what our credential-free, read-only probes observe; tools are never called and no code audit is performed. How it is computed.

Tools (5)

get_ruleread-onlyEverything this register holds for one final rule: title, agency, effective date, the rule's own DATES paragraph, the CFR parts it amends, its publication date, a link to the rule on federalregister.gov, and a verbatim quote of the Federal Register API record it was read from. Document numbers look like "2026-13685" and appear in every other tool's results.
list_agenciesread-onlyWhich agencies have rules coming? Returns each agency in this register with how many rules it has taking effect, the soonest and latest of those dates. Call it to get an agency name exactly as the Federal Register writes it before filtering with list_rules_taking_effect — "Federal Aviation Administration", not "FAA".
list_rules_amending_cfr_partread-onlyIs anything changing in the part of the CFR I am subject to? Give a CFR title and part — "49 CFR 192", "40 CFR 52", "21 CFR 1308" — and get the already-published final rules that amend it, soonest effective date first, with each rule's DATES paragraph and a verbatim quote. The part is matched whole, so "40 CFR 5" never returns rules about 40 CFR 52.
list_rules_taking_effectread-onlyWhat lands on me, and when? Lists already-published US federal final rules whose effective date falls between two dates, soonest first, optionally from one agency. Each with the rule title, the agency, the CFR parts amended, the document number, the rule's own DATES paragraph and a verbatim quote of the Federal Register record. This is the compliance-calendar question — use it for "what takes effect in Q4", not for searching the Federal Register by topic.
verify_quoteread-onlyIs this right? Check a claim about a final rule — its effective date, its agency, the CFR parts it amends — against the Federal Register record instead of trusting it. Says whether the claim matches a stored value, appears only in the verbatim quote, or differs (and then what the record says instead). Effective dates are exactly where a confident wrong answer costs money.
