Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
bill
bill_amendments
Lists the amendments tabled at one stage of a UK bill, with the clause or schedule targeted, the amendment wording, its sponsors and the decision recorded (agreed, negatived, withdrawn, not moved). For public affairs teams and campaigners tracking whether an amendment got through. Source: UK Parliament Bills API. Needs the bill ID and a stage_id from bill_stages_timeline; can filter by decision or a word in the amendment, and pages with skip. Decisions are null until Parliament records them. (cost: 1 credit)
bill_documents
Lists the documents published for a UK bill, newest first: bill texts, explanatory notes, amendment papers, impact assessments, delegated powers memoranda and committee reports, with direct PDF and web links. For lawyers and policy staff after the latest bill text or notes. Source: UK Parliament Bills API. It returns links, not the document text; pair it with a URL or PDF reader to read one. (cost: 1 credit)
bill_search
Finds UK Parliament bills whose title matches a keyword, newest-updated first so current bills come before old ones, with each bill's ID, type, current stage and house, whether it became an Act, and a link to its Parliament page. For journalists, landlords, campaigners and students asking "is there a bill about X". Source: UK Parliament Bills API, which covers recent parliamentary sessions; older bills may be missing. It matches bill titles only, not bill text, and does not cover Scottish, Welsh or Northern Ireland legislatures. (cost: 1 credit)
bill_stages_timeline
Lists every stage a UK bill has been through or has scheduled, in order, with the house and each sitting date: first and second reading, committee, report, third reading, Lords stages, consideration of amendments, Royal Assent. Saves researchers and public affairs teams from piecing together a bill's passage by hand. Source: UK Parliament Bills API. It gives dates, not debate content or votes; each stage_id can be passed to bill_amendments. (cost: 1 credit)
bill_status
Shows where one UK bill is now: its current stage and house with sitting dates, whether it has become an Act, been withdrawn or defeated, its long title and its sponsoring members and departments. Answers "where is the X bill now", "has it passed" and "who introduced it". Source: UK Parliament Bills API. Needs the bill ID from bill_search; it does not predict when a bill will pass. (cost: 1 credit)
acts
acts_recent_royal_assent
Lists bills that have received Royal Assent and become Acts of Parliament, most recent first, with the Royal Assent date and the Act's title. For compliance, HR and legal teams who need to hear about new Acts quickly. Source: UK Parliament Bills API. It covers UK Parliament Acts only, not commencement dates or statutory instruments, and does not show the Act text (see legislation.gov.uk). (cost: 1 credit)
bills
bills_recently_updated
Lists the UK Parliament bills whose records changed most recently, with current stage, house, upcoming or latest sitting dates and status. A quick "what is moving through Parliament" view for public affairs teams and journalists. Source: UK Parliament Bills API. Ordered by when Parliament last updated the bill record, which usually but not always reflects new parliamentary activity. (cost: 1 credit)
statutory
statutory_instrument_search
Finds statutory instruments (regulations and orders) laid before the UK Parliament by words in their name, with the procedure they follow (for example draft affirmative or negative), laying dates in each House, made date and SI number where issued. For compliance and legal teams asking what regulations were just laid on a topic and how Parliament will deal with them. Source: UK Parliament Statutory Instruments API. It covers laying and procedure, not the regulation text (see legislation.gov.uk). (cost: 1 credit)
treaty
treaty_search
Finds treaties laid before the UK Parliament by keyword, with the treaty name, command paper number, treaty series citation, signed and laid dates, lead department, whether the scrutiny period has concluded so the Government can ratify, and any scheduled debate. For trade lawyers, exporters and academics checking UK treaty scrutiny under the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010. Source: UK Parliament Treaties API. It does not give treaty text beyond a GOV.UK link. (cost: 1 credit)
