Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims. ### 2026-11-05 (score 80, +1) No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 0 to 3. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 0 days of observed history at the previous scan, 1 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes. ### 2026-11-04 (score 79) First indexed and scored. ## MCP tools (5) ### `politician_recent_trades` (~281 tokens) PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "what stocks is Congress buying/selling right now". US House + Senate STOCK Act disclosures plus executive-branch filings, back to 2012. Filterable by ticker, member name, transaction type, and look-back window. Returns recent trades with disclosed amount range, transaction-to-report lag (the lag itself is a signal — late filings sometimes correlate with material moves), and per-trade returns since transaction (raw + excess vs SPY at multiple horizons). Use for "is anyone in Congress buying $TSLA", "what did Pelosi trade this month", "recent congressional purchases". Input parameters: - `days` (number): Look-back window in days. Default 30. Can go back to 2012. - `limit` (number): Max trades to return. Default 50, max 500. - `member` (string): Filter by representative — full name, last name, or canonical filer id. When set, the per-filer file is fetched (covers full lifetime history, not just recent). - `ticker` (string): Filter to one ticker (case-insensitive, e.g. "TSLA"). When set, the cheapest path is taken (per-ticker file). - `transaction` (string): Filter to transaction type, "purchase" or "sale" (substring-matched against the full type label). ### `politician_top_movers` (~131 tokens) Which tickers attracted the most congressional trading activity in the last N days, aggregated across the top 35 most-active filers. Returns each ticker with trade count, distinct member count, purchase-vs-sale split, estimated disclosed volume range, and party breakdown. Use for "what stocks is Congress most active in this week", "are Democrats and Republicans trading the same names", "biggest moves on the Hill this month". Input parameters: - `days` (number): Look-back window in days. Default 30. - `limit` (number): Max tickers to return. Default 20, max 100. ### `politician_member_activity` (~144 tokens) Detail view for a single member of Congress (or executive-branch filer): full lifetime trade count, windowed activity, late-filing rate, avg days-to-file, estimated disclosed volume, and avg excess return vs SPY across disclosed trades — the closest the public data gets to "this member's trades have been beating the index". Accepts a full name ("Nancy Pelosi"), a last name ("Pelosi"), or a canonical filer id ("house_nancy_pelosi"). Input parameters: - `days` (number): Look-back window in days for windowed stats. Default 365. - `member` (string, required): Representative name (last name or full) or canonical filer id. ### `house_ptr_search` (~281 tokens) PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for roster-wide House stock-trade disclosures with REAL filing dates: every House member (not just the most active), each trade with transaction date, notification date, filing date, days_to_file, is_late (>45 days, the STOCK Act limit), disclosed amount bracket and a link to the Clerk document. Filter by member, ticker, transaction type, FILING-date window, and late_only. Use for "which House members filed late this quarter", "did any representative buy NVDA after the briefing", "Pelosi trades this month with filing lag". House only; Senate is not covered. Parsed from the Clerk of the House's own filings. Input parameters: - `from` (string): Earliest FILING date, YYYY-MM-DD. Default: 90 days ago. - `late_only` (boolean): Only trades filed more than 45 days after the transaction. - `limit` (number): Max trades, default 50, max 200. Newest filings first. - `member` (string): Representative: last name or "First Last" (e.g. "Pelosi", "Nancy Pelosi"). - `ticker` (string): Ticker symbol, e.g. "NVDA". - `to` (string): Latest FILING date, YYYY-MM-DD. - `tx_type` (string): purchase, sale or exchange. ### `house_ptr_late_filers` (~201 tokens) Which House members filed their stock-trade reports late, ranked across the WHOLE House for a filing-date window: per member the number of transactions, how many were filed more than 45 days after the trade (the STOCK Act limit), late share, average and worst days-to-file. Use for "which members filed late this quarter", "worst late filers in the House this year". House only; computed from the Clerk of the House's own filings, with a coverage block stating how many filings could not be read. Input parameters: - `from` (string): Earliest FILING date, YYYY-MM-DD. Default: 90 days ago. - `limit` (number): Max members, default 25, max 100. - `min_transactions` (number): Only members with at least this many transactions in the window. Default 3. - `to` (string): Latest FILING date, YYYY-MM-DD. Default: today. ## Diagnostics Captured diagnostic sections: Provenance, Dependencies.
