search_documents
shallowio.github.pipeworx-io/federal-register · Verify this server
Search the US Federal Register by topic / keyword for proposed rules, final rules, notices, and presidential documents. **Use this whenever the question mentions a SUBJECT** ("EV tax credits", "AI export controls", "PFAS regulations", "clean energy", "ozempic labeling", etc.) — recent_rules takes no topic filter and would return random unrelated rules. Returns title, abstract, agency, publication date, links. Examples: search_documents({query: "EV tax credit", type: "rule"}), search_documents({query: "artificial intelligence", agency: "commerce-department"}), search_documents({query: "Strait of Hormuz", since: "365d"}). Pass `since` to constrain to recent documents — without it the relevance ranker can return decade-old docs for sparse-term queries.
