Read-only

Search Austrian district administrative announcements (Kundmeldungen der Bezirksverwaltungsbehörden) by state, authority, date, and keywords. Retrieve official notices from the RIS database.

Instructions

Search Austrian district administrative authority announcements (Kundmachungen der Bezirksverwaltungsbehörden).

Use this tool to find announcements and ordinances from district administrative authorities.

Note: Only certain states publish here: Niederösterreich, Oberösterreich, Tirol, Vorarlberg, Burgenland, Steiermark.

Example queries:

bundesland="Niederösterreich", suchworte="Bauordnung"
bezirksverwaltungsbehoerde="Bezirkshauptmannschaft Innsbruck"

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`limit`	No	Results per page: 10, 20, 50 or 100 (default: 20). Every hit costs about 1k characters of structured payload, so prefer 20 for browsing and 50 for a broad survey; a page that would exceed the payload budget is delivered at the next smaller page size and says so (page_size, query.limit and notice).
`seite`	No	Page number (default: 1)
`titel`	No	Search in titles
`suchworte`	No	Full-text search terms
`bundesland`	No	Filter by state - Burgenland, Kärnten, Niederösterreich, Oberösterreich, Salzburg, Steiermark, Tirol, Vorarlberg, Wien
`im_ris_seit`	No	Filter by time in RIS
`response_format`	No	"markdown" (default) or "json"	markdown
`kundmachungsnummer`	No	Announcement number
`kundmachungsdatum_bis`	No	Announcement date to (YYYY-MM-DD)
`kundmachungsdatum_von`	No	Announcement date from (YYYY-MM-DD)
`bezirksverwaltungsbehoerde`	No	District authority name (e.g., "Bezirkshauptmannschaft Innsbruck", "Bezirkshauptmannschaft Amstetten")

Output Schema

TableJSON Schema

Name	Required	Description
`page`	Yes	Page number of this result set (1-based)
`query`	No	Echo of the validated search parameters alongside the tool name — re-issue the call with an incremented "seite" for the next page
`notice`	No	Present when the page was delivered at a smaller size than requested to fit the payload budget — page, page_size and query already describe the delivered page; page with query.limit
`has_more`	Yes	Whether further result pages are available
`documents`	Yes	The documents on this page
`page_size`	Yes	Number of documents per page
`total_hits`	Yes	Total number of documents in RIS matching the search

A4/5.0

Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true and destructiveHint=false, covering the safety profile. The description adds the state-publishing limitation but does not discuss any other behavioral traits (e.g., pagination behavior, response format details) beyond what the schema provides. This is adequate but not rich.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is concise, front-loaded with the main purpose, and includes a brief usage note and two examples. Every sentence adds value, and there is no redundant fluff.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness4/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With an output schema present and detailed parameter descriptions in the schema, the description provides enough context for an agent to call the tool correctly: it states the domain, the state limitation, and gives example parameters. It could mention the response format options, but those are covered in the schema (response_format parameter). Overall, it is complete for a search tool.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100%, so all 11 parameters have descriptions in the schema. The description adds example query combinations (bundesland with suchworte, bezirksverwaltungsbehoerde), which is helpful but not a semantic expansion. It does not compensate for any schema gaps because there are none.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the verb ('Search') and the resource ('Austrian district administrative authority announcements'), and the title reinforces the domain. It is distinct from sibling tools by focusing on district administrative authorities (Bezirksverwaltungsbehörden), which is a specific subset of RIS documents.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides explicit examples and a key constraint (only certain states publish here), which helps the agent decide when to use this tool. It does not name alternative tools for other legal domains, but the scope is clear enough for typical usage.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
