Instructions

Search Austrian Federal Law Gazettes (Bundesgesetzblatt).

Use this tool for historical research and tracking when laws were enacted. Contains official publications of federal laws, ordinances, and treaties.

Example queries:

  • bgblnummer="120", jahrgang="2023", teil="1" -> Find specific gazette

  • suchworte="Klimaschutz" -> Full-text search in gazettes

Input Schema

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
teilNoPart - "1" (I=Laws), "2" (II=Ordinances), "3" (III=Treaties)
limitNoResults 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).
seiteNoPage number (default: 1)
titelNoSearch in gazette titles
jahrgangNoYear (e.g., "2023")
suchworteNoFull-text search terms
bgblnummerNoGazette number (e.g., "120")

TDQS

A3.8/5.0
Behavior3/5

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

Annotations already cover read-only, open-world and non-destructive behavior, so the bar is lower. The description adds that these are official publications of a defined scope, but says nothing about coverage/backfile limits (only hinted at inside the applikation enum) or result-shape behavior, and payload/pagination behavior lives entirely in the schema.

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

Conciseness4/5

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

Front-loaded one-line purpose, then a usage sentence, then compact examples — no filler. A small amount of space could be reclaimed, but the structure makes the routing information easy to scan.

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?

An output schema exists, so return values need not be explained, and all nine parameters are documented in-schema. The remaining gap is disambiguation from ris_bundesrecht/ris_verordnungen and the 1945–2003 vs. 2004+ split, which is only visible by reading the applikation enum.

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

Parameters4/5

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

Schema coverage is 100%, so baseline is 3. The examples go beyond per-parameter docs by showing how filters combine for an exact gazette lookup (`bgblnummer` + `jahrgang` + `teil`) versus a keyword-only search, which is genuine added meaning.

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

Purpose4/5

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

States a concrete verb and resource ("Search Austrian Federal Law Gazettes") and clarifies the corpus (federal laws, ordinances, treaties). It does not, however, distinguish itself from close siblings like ris_bundesrecht, ris_verordnungen or ris_landesgesetzblatt, even though its stated contents overlap with them.

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?

Gives a clear use context ("historical research and tracking when laws were enacted") and two worked example queries that show exact-lookup vs. full-text search. It stops short of stating exclusions or naming which sibling to use instead for consolidated federal law or ordinances.

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