Senado BR — Brazilian Federal Senate Open Data

Contratos do Senado

senado_contratos

Read-onlyIdempotent

Search Brazilian Federal Senate administrative contracts by supplier, CNPJ, year, number, object, or resident labor; use returned IDs to retrieve contract details, payments, guarantees, and amendments.

Instructions

Busca contratos administrativos do Senado por fornecedor, CNPJ, ano, número, objeto ou mão de obra (base completa baixada e filtrada no Worker; busca parcial sem acento em objeto/fornecedor/número). Retorna { count, total, contratos }, onde cada item traz id, numero, objeto, empresa {nome, cnpj}, subEspecie, dataAssinatura, vigencia e unidadeGestora. Atenção: a fonte NÃO publica o valor do contrato (nenhum campo monetário aqui nem nas seções de detalhe; apenas a seção aditivos de senado_contratacao_detalhe traz valor, referente ao termo aditivo) — não gaste chamadas procurando valor. A lista mistura subespécies (CT = contratos, AC = acordos de cooperação, TD = termos de doação etc.); distinga pelo campo subEspecie retornado. Limitado a limite itens (padrão 50, máx 500), com aviso quando há truncamento. Use o id retornado em senado_contratacao_detalhe para itens, pagamentos, garantias ou aditivos.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`ano`	No	Ano do contrato
`cnpj`	No	CNPJ/CPF exato do fornecedor
`limite`	No	Máximo de resultados (padrão: 50)
`numero`	No	Número do contrato (busca parcial)
`objeto`	No	Texto no objeto do contrato

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

A4.3/5.0

Behavior5/5

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

Goes well beyond the read-only annotations: it discloses that the full base is downloaded and filtered in the Worker, that search is partial and accent-insensitive, that results are capped with an `aviso` on truncation, and that the source publishes no contract value anywhere. It also flags that the list mixes subespécies (CT/AC/TD) which must be disambiguated via the `subEspecie` field.

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?

Dense but front-loaded: the search scope comes first, then the return shape, then the critical caveat about missing values, then routing. A single long paragraph with no filler sentences, though the return-field enumeration could have been trimmed since an output schema exists.

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?

Covers everything an agent needs: what is searched, how matching works, the return shape, truncation, the data-source gap on contract values, subespécie ambiguity, and the correct next-step sibling. No material question is left open before invoking it.

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 the baseline is 3; the description earns above that by clarifying accent-insensitive partial matching on objeto/fornecedor/número and the cap behavior (`limite` default 50, max 500, plus `aviso`). It does not elaborate on `maoDeObra` or the exact-vs-partial distinction for `cnpj` beyond what the schema already says.

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 specific verb and resource ('Busca contratos administrativos do Senado') plus the dimensions searchable (fornecedor, CNPJ, ano, número, objeto, mão de obra). It does not explicitly differentiate itself from close siblings like senado_contratacoes_lista, senado_licitacoes or senado_empresas_contratadas, so the agent must infer the split from context.

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 clear routing: use the returned `id` in senado_contratacao_detalhe for itens, pagamentos, garantias or aditivos, and explicitly warns not to spend calls looking for a monetary value. That is a strong when-to-use and when-not-to-burn-calls signal, though it never contrasts with senado_contratacoes_lista.

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