How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score →

Endpoint Security46
Transport & Reachability100
Schema Quality & AI Usability67
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1088 tokens (~120/item across 9 items; 9 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management27
  • Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage98
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 93% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial

MCP tools — 9 exposed · ~977 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability.

Tool Tokens
accessible_route ~130

Step-free / accessible directions between two points in the Capitol complex by mobility profile (wheelchair, limited_mobility, stroller, low_vision). Routes over elevators/ramps only, avoids stairs, and surfaces OCAS accommodation contacts. Use this instead of route_between when step-free matters.

NameTypeReqDescription
fromstringyesOrigin: room code, building name, or Metro station / landmark (e.g. 'Union Station')
mobility_profilestringMobility profile (default: any step-free)
tostringyesDestination: room code, building name, or Metro station / landmark

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

capitolguide_prep ~43

Pre-flight readiness check. Run before any other tool. Verifies secrets, KV, DB connectivity, and KB version + freshness. Returns a structured readiness report.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

check_access ~100

What access a visitor needs for a zone of the Capitol complex: (visitor_type × zone) → allowed?, credential, escort, lead time, required docs, security entrance, and the granting authority. INFORMS, never grants — final authority is the member office / Capitol Police / Secret Service. Rules are volatile and live-source-stamped.

NameTypeReqDescription
visitor_typestringyesWho is visiting
zonestringyesWhich area of the complex

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

find_room ~146

Find a Capitol office by ROOM CODE (e.g. 'SH-217', '2310 Rayburn', '167 Russell', 'H-232'), by MEMBER NAME (e.g. 'Cornyn', 'Ted Cruz', 'Womack'), or by COMMITTEE ('Senate Judiciary', 'Ways and Means', 'House Armed Services'). A room code returns the decoded location plus who currently holds it; a name returns that member's current office; a committee returns its office / principal hearing room. Member & committee assignments are the 119th Congress (volatile, live-source-stamped).

NameTypeReqDescription
querystringyesA room code/address, or a member's name

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

nearby ~103

Nearest restroom, exit, and food for a specific point — a room code (floor-specific, e.g. the exact nearest bathroom to SH-217), a building name, or GPS coordinates {lat, lon}. Returns specific named venues ranked by distance.

NameTypeReqDescription

overview ~46

Operational snapshot for the caller's tenant: KB version + freshness, queue depths (itineraries / draft meetings / active nudges), and the recent tool-invocation tail. Read-only.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

plan_day ~109

Optimize a multi-meeting Hill day. Give a list of meetings (each a member name or room code, with an optional time like '10:30a'). Returns a sequenced itinerary: batched by chamber side to minimize cross-campus crossings, the route + minutes between each stop, the cross-campus window flagged, 'leave-by' times when meetings are timed, and warnings for connections too tight to make.

NameTypeReqDescription

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

prohibited_items ~120

What you cannot bring into an area of the Capitol complex (security screening). zone: 'capitol_cvc' (the Capitol + Visitor Center — strictest, no food/water), 'gallery' (House/Senate galleries — no phones/cameras), or 'office_building' (the 6 office buildings — food & drink allowed). Always returns the universal weapon/hazard bans too. Volatile — live-source-stamped; confirm at visitthecapitol.gov before you travel.

NameTypeReqDescription

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

route_between ~180

Turn-by-turn directions between two points in the Capitol complex. Each point can be a room code, a building name, OR a Metro station / landmark (e.g. 'Capitol South Metro' → '2412 Rayburn', 'Union Station' → '517 Hart', or to the 'Supreme Court' / 'Library of Congress'). Returns an ordered step list with mode (walk/tunnel/subway), minutes, and a flag wherever you re-clear security. Set accessible=true for a step-free route (or use accessible_route).
