Full-text search of federal rulemaking dockets on Regulations.gov.

Returns docket summaries: id, title, docket_type (Rulemaking or Nonrulemaking), agency_id, last_modified, and match_context (a plain-text snippet showing why the docket matched). Use the returned id with get_docket for the abstract or list_documents for its documents.

Args: query: Search terms, e.g. "artificial intelligence reporting". page: Result page, 1 to 20 (API limit; narrow the query instead of paging deeper). page_size: Results per page, 5 to 250. agency_id: Optional agency filter, e.g. "EPA" or "BIS".

Fetch one docket's full detail from Regulations.gov by its exact ID.

Returns id, title, agency_id, docket_type, abstract (the docket's own summary of what the rulemaking does), keywords, rin (Regulation Identifier Number), and last_modified. Raises a not-found error for an ID that does not exist; get IDs from search_dockets rather than guessing them.

Args: docket_id: Exact docket ID, e.g. "BIS-2024-0047".

List the documents filed in one Regulations.gov docket.

Returns document summaries: id, title, document_type (Proposed Rule, Rule, Notice, Supporting & Related Material, ...), posted_date, fr_doc_num (Federal Register document number), open_for_comment, comment_end_date, and withdrawn. A docket ID that matches nothing yields an empty list, not an error.

Args: docket_id: Exact docket ID, e.g. "BIS-2024-0047". page: Result page, 1 to 20 (API limit). page_size: Results per page, 5 to 250.
