How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Supply Chain Security82
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- CVE check failed: a known advisory affects this package; its severity couldn't be graded. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
- 2 of 22 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail

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. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
gb_coverage ~102
Declare what this connector covers, how it is sourced, and what it does NOT cover. Call this before telling a user that the law "does not contain" something, and whenever a search comes back empty: the absence may be a gap in this connector rather than in the law. Every gap carries a fallback saying where to look instead. Returns: ``Coverage`` with families, an as-of note, and a non-empty list of known gaps.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| as_of_note | string | yes | States what the dates mean, and what they do not promise. |
| families | array | – | – |
| known_gaps | array | – | Never empty. An empty list would mean 'not checked', not 'no gaps'. |
| status | string | – | – |

gb_get_govuk_content ~199
Fetch one GOV.UK document (tribunal decision, HMRC manual section, CMA case). Maps to the GOV.UK Content API (``www.gov.uk/api/content/{path}`` - confirmed live 2026-07-07). Tribunal decisions carry the judgment as a PDF in ``attachments`` with only a short HTML body; HMRC manual sections carry the full text in ``body_html``.

gb_recent_legislation ~189
UK legislation published since ``since_iso`` (ISO 8601 date), newest-first. Maps to the Atom search feed sorted/filtered by publication year, optionally scoped to one ``doc_type``. legislation.gov.uk's public search feed does not support a generic ``dateFrom`` filter across all types, so this tool filters the requested year's feed by the ``published`` date client-side.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| doc_type | – | – | restrict to one UK document-type code (e.g. ``"ukpga"``, ``"uksi"``). |
| limit | integer | – | max items to return (1..100). |
| since_iso | string | yes | a date in ISO 8601 (e.g. ``"2026-01-01"``). Only the year is used to select the feed to scan; items are then filtered to on/after this date. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| result | array | yes | – |
No examples provided.
gb_search ~122
Search UK legislation on legislation.gov.uk. Maps to the official Atom search feed (``/all/data.feed`` or ``/{doc_type}/data.feed``, optionally with ``?text=...&year=...&page=...``). Each item gets ``eli_uri``, ``human_readable_citation``, ``source_url`` (per Art. 4 CONSTITUTION).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | object | yes | ``SearchQuery`` - text, doc_type (e.g. 'ukpga', 'uksi', 'asp'), year, page. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| dataset_note | string | – | – |
| items | array | – | – |
| query_echo | – | – | – |
| total_estimate | integer | yes | – |
No examples provided.
gb_search_case_law ~244
Search UK case law on The National Archives' Find Case Law service. Maps to the public Atom feed at ``caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/atom.xml`` (confirmed live 2026-07-06 - keyless, Open Justice Licence). A separate service from legislation.gov.uk: different host, different Atom dialect (``tna:`` namespace).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| court | – | – | court/tribunal code, e.g. ``"ewhc/admin"``, ``"ewca/civ"``, ``"uksc"``. Passed through to Find Case Law's own ``court`` query param. |
| from_date | – | – | ISO 8601 date (YYYY-MM-DD), inclusive. Find Case Law's public API has no documented server-side date-range filter, so this is applied client-side against each result's ``date`` field after fetching. |
| limit | integer | – | max items to return (1..100). |
| query | – | – | full-text search (matches judgment text in order, per upstream docs). |
| to_date | – | – | ISO 8601 date (YYYY-MM-DD), inclusive. Same client-side caveat. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| dataset_note | string | – | – |
| items | array | – | – |
| query_echo | – | – | – |
| total_estimate | integer | yes | – |
No examples provided.
gb_search_govuk ~347
Search GOV.UK documents - tribunal decisions, HMRC manuals, CMA cases and more. Maps to the GOV.UK Search API (``www.gov.uk/api/search.json`` - confirmed live 2026-07-07: keyless, Open Government Licence v3.0). One upstream aggregating many institutions; filter with ``document_type``. Legally weighty types with live-verified totals (2026-07-07): ``employment_tribunal_decision`` (132,162), ``hmrc_manual_section`` (85,315), ``residential_property_tribunal_decision`` (17,088), ``employment_appeal_tribunal_decision`` (2,571), ``cma_case`` (2,565), ``utaac_decision`` (2,031), ``tax_tribunal_decision`` (1,414), ``asylum_support_decision`` (101).

| from_date | – | – | ISO 8601 date (YYYY-MM-DD), inclusive - passed server-side via ``filter_public_timestamp`` (unlike Find Case Law, GOV.UK supports this). |
| limit | integer | – | max items to return (1..100). |
| organisation | – | – | GOV.UK organisation slug, e.g. ``"competition-and-markets-authority"``. |
| query | – | – | full-text search terms. |
