Implementation Reference
- app.py:637-682 (handler)The handler function (named get_act_references) that implements the core logic for the 'get_act_relationships' tool. It fetches legal relationships and references from the Sejm API endpoint /eli/acts/{publisher}/{year}/{num}/references.
def get_act_references( publisher: Annotated[str, "Publisher code (DU for Dziennik Ustaw, MP for Monitor Polski)"], year: Annotated[int, "Publication year"], num: Annotated[Union[int, str], "Act number/position within the year"] ) -> dict: """Fetches references to/from a specific legal act (acts that reference this act or are referenced by this act). Analyzes the legal relationships and dependencies of a specific act, showing which acts it amends, references, or is referenced by.
