Senado BR — Brazilian Federal Senate Open Data

Busca para Deep Research

search

Read-onlyIdempotent

Find senators in office and active Senate/National Congress committees in the Brazilian Federal Senate open-data catalog; returns up to 10 relevant document IDs, titles, and URLs for retrieval.

Instructions

Searches the Brazilian Federal Senate open data (senators in office and active committees of the Senate and the National Congress) catalog and returns up to 10 matching documents as { id, title, url }, ordered by relevance (an empty list means nothing matched).

This tool exists for the OpenAI Deep Research contract: ChatGPT deep research, company knowledge and research workflows over the Responses API require exactly the tools search and fetch. Pass one of the returned ids to fetch to read the document. For direct questions and for data (values, series, rankings) prefer the senado_* tools, which return the actual data with provenance — this is a catalog index, not a data query.

Query: natural language or keywords, Portuguese or English; accents and case are ignored.

Behavior: read-only and idempotent — the catalog comes from the public source and is cached in memory.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`query`	Yes	Termos de busca em linguagem natural ou palavras-chave (acentos e caixa são ignorados)

Output Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`provenance`	Yes	Bloco de proveniência do portfólio (projeção concise): source, source_url, data_vintage, retrieved_at (horário de Brasília), citation, license, revision e retrieval; field_sources só quando a resposta funde recortes, derived e derivation_note só nos modos de estatísticas. retrieval é o diagnóstico da ida à origem nesta chamada — requisições, tentativas com retentativas, anomalias superadas (timeout, network, rate_limited, http_5xx, http_4xx, malformed_body) e unstable (true quando algo precisou ser repetido) —, ou null quando não foi medido. Lista de blocos quando a chamada consulta várias fontes (índice do search).
`attribution`	Yes	URLs de origem dos dados (as source_url distintas dos blocos de proveniência, incluindo as de field_sources), para linkar a citação

A4.4/5.0

Behavior4/5

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

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint and destructiveHint=false, yet the description adds real operational context: a 10-result cap, relevance ordering, empty-list semantics for no matches, and that the catalog is cached in memory from the public source. The closing 'read-only and idempotent' sentence only restates annotations, which slightly dilutes the value.

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?

Well front-loaded: purpose and return shape come first, then routing guidance, then query semantics. The Deep Research contract paragraph is a bit long and the final sentence duplicates annotations, but nothing is confusing or out of order.

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

Completeness5/5

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

For a single-parameter catalog search with an output schema present, the description covers everything an agent needs: what it returns, how many, ordering, empty-result meaning, when to prefer siblings, and the hand-off to `fetch`. No gap remains that would cause a mis-call.

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?

Only one parameter and schema coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents it, including the accents/case note that the description repeats. The description adds one genuinely new fact — queries may be in Portuguese or English — which is useful but marginal, leaving it at baseline.

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?

States a specific verb and resource ('Searches the Brazilian Federal Senate open data ... catalog') and immediately bounds the output ('up to 10 matching documents as { id, title, url }'). It also differentiates itself from the large `senado_*` family by declaring 'this is a catalog index, not a data query', so an agent can route without inspecting schemas.

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

Usage Guidelines5/5

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

Explicitly names when to use it (the Deep Research contract requiring exactly `search` and `fetch`) and when not to ('For direct questions and for data (values, series, rankings) prefer the `senado_*` tools'). It also gives the follow-up step: 'Pass one of the returned ids to `fetch` to read the document.'

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