## MCP tools (8)

### `search_law` (~71 tokens)

Search Australian legislation by name

Finds Commonwealth acts and legislative instruments on the Federal Register of Legislation by title. Returns title ids for the other tools. Falls back to full-text matching when nothing matches by name.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `query` (string, required): Words from the title, e.g. "income tax rates"

### `get_law_text` (~117 tokens)

Read the current text of an act

Returns the latest compilation of a Commonwealth act or instrument. Without a section number it lists the table of sections; with one it returns that provision. Set full=true for the whole text, paginated.

Input parameters:

- `full` (boolean): Return the full text instead of the table of sections
- `page` (integer)
- `section` (string): Section number, e.g. "3A" or "90-5"
- `titleId` (string, required): Register title id, e.g. C2004A03348

### `get_law_as_at` (~82 tokens)

Read an act as it stood on a date

Returns the compilation of a Commonwealth act that was in force on the given date — the register keeps every historical version. Same output shape as get_law_text.

Input parameters:

- `date` (string, required): yyyy-mm-dd
- `full` (boolean)
- `page` (integer)
- `section` (string)
- `titleId` (string, required)

### `get_amendment_status` (~50 tokens)

Amendment status of an act

Reports whether a title is in force, what its latest compilation incorporates, whether commenced amendments are still unincorporated, and which acts have amended it.

Input parameters:

- `titleId` (string, required)

### `compare_versions` (~95 tokens)

Compare an act between two dates

Shows what changed in an act between two dates: which sections were added, removed or reworded. Give a section number for a line-by-line diff of that provision.

Input parameters:

- `dateA` (string, required): yyyy-mm-dd, the earlier date
- `dateB` (string, required): yyyy-mm-dd, the later date
- `page` (integer)
- `section` (string)
- `titleId` (string, required)

### `verify_citations` (~86 tokens)

Check statute citations against the register

Extracts Australian statute citations from text and checks each against the Federal Register of Legislation: does the act exist, is it still in force, does the cited section exist in the current compilation. Use before presenting legal citations to a user. An upstream failure is reported as UNVERIFIED, never as a missing law.

Input parameters:

- `text` (string, required): Text containing the citations to check

### `search_full_text` (~77 tokens)

Full-text search across all legislation

Searches the body text of every act and instrument on the register for a phrase, ranked by relevance. Slower and broader than search_law.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `match` (string): exact = the phrase verbatim (default), all = every word, any = any word
- `phrase` (string, required)

### `check_frl_health` (~30 tokens)

Check the register API

Pings the Federal Register of Legislation API and reports latency, so failures elsewhere can be attributed.
