Returns congressional bill metadata from api.congress.gov. Use this when the user asks about: bills introduced this Congress, the status of a specific bill, House vs Senate bill volume, what bills mention a topic, or to bridge from a roll-call vote (legislation_type + legislation_number) to the underlying bill. Source: api.congress.gov v3 (Library of Congress). Covers ALL bill types: HR (House Bill), S (Senate Bill), HRES (House Simple Resolution), SRES (Senate Simple Resolution), HJRES (House Joint Resolution), SJRES (Senate Joint Resolution), HCONRES (House Concurrent Resolution), SCONRES (Senate Concurrent Resolution). v1A returns metadata only: title, type + number, originating chamber, latest action (date + text), and links. Sponsors, cosponsors, full action history, bill text, and CRS summaries live at `api_url` (structured JSON) and `congress_gov_url` (public HTML). Agents follow those for prose detail. Bill identifiers are stable composite keys formatted as {congress}-{TYPE}-{number}, e.g., '119-HR-134', '119-S-1234', '118-HJRES-5'. Use bill_id for the fastest direct lookup. Pure-publisher posture: KeyVex returns what's in the public record. No legislative outcome predictions, no 'likely to pass' signals.
