Returns recent congressional + oversight publications from GovInfo across four collections. Use this when the user asks about: - Committee reports on a specific bill or topic - Recently signed public laws (the 'did it become law' signal) - Congressional hearing transcripts (testimony from regulators, CEOs, expert witnesses) - GAO oversight reports (independent reviews of federal agencies + programs, often precede SEC/DOJ enforcement on the same target) Collections (filter via the `collection` enum): CRPT — Congressional Reports. Includes committee reports accompanying bills (House hrpt / Senate srpt). Real- time signal on what's about to move on the floor. PLAW — Public + Private Laws. Bills that were signed into law. The 'what actually got done' record. CHRG — Congressional Hearings. Transcripts of House + Senate committee hearings — testimony from agency heads, executives, expert witnesses. Hearings often PRECEDE enforcement actions (the public 'why did this happen' conversation). GAOREPORTS — GAO oversight reports. Independent congressional oversight. NOTE: GovInfo's GAO collection is a historical archive (~16.5K reports) that is not receiving recent updates — GAO now publishes current reports on gao.gov directly. Use this for historical GAO research; recent reports won't appear here. Identifier format: each `package_id` is GovInfo's globally-unique ID (e.g., 'CRPT-119hrpt27' for House Report 27 of the 119th Congress, 'PLAW-119publ12' for Public Law 12, 'CHRG-119hhrg54321' for House hearing 54321). Direct doc lookup by package_id is fastest. Cross-source pairing pattern: Hearing → trade by attending member: get_congressional_trades( bioguide_id:'...', since:'<hearing date>') GAO report on agency → SEC follow-on: get_enforcement_actions( text:'<agency name>', since:'<GAO report date>') Committee report → bill passage: get_bills + get_roll_call_votes Full document body (PDF / HTML / XML) lives at `package_link`; v1A returns only metadata — agents follow the link for content.
