Instructions excerpt

Use the congressgov_* tools to access U.S. legislative data via the Congress.gov API v3: bills, enacted laws, members, committees, roll call votes, presidential nominations, CRS reports, and the daily Congressional Record. The Congress.gov API itself has no keyword search — browse by congress number, bill/report type, date range, chamber, state, and district. An optional local FTS mirror adds congressgov_search_bills (keyword search over bill titles and summaries) when CONGRESS_MIRROR_ENABLED is set; it is off by default, and the tool is not offered at all unless that flag is set. Bills are addressed by congress + billType + billNumber (e.g. 118/hr/1234), members by bioguideId, committees by chamber-prefix codes. congressgov_roll_votes serves both chambers via its 'chamber' parameter — House votes come from the Congress.gov API, Senate votes from the Senate's official LIS feed.
