Available tools 3

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

congress
get_congress_member
All disclosed trades for one member of Congress plus a performance summary (trade count, buys/sells, average per-share return on disclosed buys). Pass the member_slug returned by get_congress_trades (e.g. 'nancy-pelosi').
get_congress_stats
Aggregate Congress-trading stats: total trades/members/tickers, buy vs sell counts, latest transaction & disclosure dates, and the most-traded tickers over the last 90 days.
get_congress_trades
U.S. Congress stock trades from official STOCK Act Periodic Transaction Reports (House Clerk + Senate eFD). Each row: member, chamber, state, ticker, company, type (purchase/sale/exchange), disclosed dollar range, transaction & disclosure dates, AND per-trade performance (price at trade, latest price, % move since). Filter by ticker, member (substring), chamber, or type. Newest transaction first. CAVEAT: PTRs are disclosed up to ~45 days after the trade — read as 'recent weeks', not real-time.
