Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
executive
executive_order_by_number
Looks up one US executive order by its EO number (for example 14148) and returns its title, signing and publication dates, Federal Register citation, president and official govinfo PDF. For anyone who sees an EO number in the news or a court filing and wants to know what it is, without guessing. Source: the Federal Register (FederalRegister.gov API), which covers orders published from 1994 onward; older orders are not found here. (cost: 1 credit)
federal
federal_register_document
Fetches one Federal Register document by its document number (for example 2025-02006): type, agencies, publication and signing dates, FR citation, effective date, comment deadline, docket and the official govinfo PDF. For compliance teams, lawyers and researchers who have the document number from a notice, docket or URL and want the primary record rather than a secondary summary. Source: the Federal Register (FederalRegister.gov API). It needs the document number: it does not resolve a page citation such as 90 FR 8443, and it does not return the full text (follow html_url or pdf_url). (cost: 1 credit)
government
us_government_operating_status
Are federal offices open today? Returns the US Office of Personnel Management's current operating status for the federal government in the Washington, DC area (open, delayed arrival, early departure, closed, unscheduled leave or telework allowed, or a lapse in appropriations), with the date it applies to and OPM's guidance for employees. Useful for federal workers, contractors and visitors on snow days and funding deadlines. It covers the DC area only; agencies elsewhere set their own local status, and it does not cover individual agency closures. (cost: 1 credit)
opm
opm_status_history
When did OPM last close federal offices or allow early departure? Lists the US Office of Personnel Management's past operating status postings for the Washington, DC area, newest first: closures, delayed arrivals, early departures, unscheduled leave or telework days and lapses in appropriations, each with the date it applied to and when it was posted and replaced. Useful for HR, payroll and contractor questions. Ordinary open days are mostly not listed, and the online history covers recent years only. (cost: 1 credit)
shutdown
us_shutdown_now
Is the US government shut down right now? Answers yes or no from the US Office of Personnel Management's current operating status, flagging a lapse in appropriations and telling a partial lapse (only some agencies unfunded) apart from a full one, with OPM's exact wording and when the notice was posted. It reflects OPM's posted status only: it does not forecast funding deadlines, and during a lapse each agency decides which staff keep working. (cost: 1 credit)
