Lists all Members of Parliament celebrating their birthday today, including their names, political parties, and birth dates. The response is a JSON array where each entry contains the MP's ID, name, party affiliation, and other details. Use this tool when a user specifically asks about birthdays, wants to know which MPs are celebrating today, or needs to create 'on this day' content. This tool takes no parameters as it always returns today's birthdays. For a more general overview that includes birthdays along with other parliamentary information, use the 'get_overview' tool instead. If you need to display an MP's photo alongside their birthday information, you can use the 'get_photo' tool with the MP's ID from this response.

Retrieves detailed information about a specific parliamentary committee, including its members, recent activities, and description. This provides deeper insight into the committee's composition, leadership roles, and recent work. Use this when you need comprehensive information about a particular committee's structure and activities.

Retrieves a list of all parliamentary committees with their IDs, names, and URLs. The response is a JSON array where each entry represents a committee with its unique identifier and name. Use this tool when a user asks about parliamentary committees, wants to know which committees exist, or needs to find committees related to specific policy areas. Committees are specialized groups of MPs that focus on specific domains like defense, healthcare, or finance. After getting the list of committees, you can use the 'get_committee_details' tool with a specific committee ID to retrieve more detailed information about that committee, including its members and recent activities. This tool takes no parameters as it returns all active committees.

Downloads a parliamentary document and extracts its text content for use in the conversation. This tool retrieves the actual content of a document based on its ID, making it available for analysis, summarization, or direct reference in the conversation. The text is extracted from PDF or Word (DOCX) documents using professional libraries and returned in a readable format.

IMPORTANT: For longer documents, the content may be truncated. The response includes pagination information to help you retrieve the complete document:

• isTruncated: Indicates whether there is more content available

• totalLength: The total length of the document content

• currentOffset: The starting position of the current content chunk

• nextOffset: The starting position for the next content chunk (use this as the 'offset' parameter in your next call)

• remainingLength: The amount of content remaining after the current chunk

To retrieve the complete document, you can make multiple calls to this tool, incrementing the offset each time:

Example usage:

1. First call: get_document_content({docId: '2025D18220'})

2. If the response shows isTruncated=true, call again with the nextOffset value: get_document_content({docId: '2025D18220', offset: 8000})

3. Continue until isTruncated=false or you've retrieved all the content you need.

This pagination approach allows you to analyze even very long documents within the conversation context.

Use this tool when you need to analyze or discuss the specific content of a document rather than just its metadata.

Retrieves metadata about a parliamentary document in a structured JSON format, without downloading the actual document content. Returns information including title, type, document number, dates, version number, and clickable links to both the PDF version and the official Tweede Kamer webpage. This tool is ideal for getting quick information about a document and obtaining the relevant links for further access. To actually download the document content, use the 'download_document' tool instead.

Converts document URLs into clickable links. This tool takes either a direct PDF link or a Tweede Kamer webpage link and returns them as properly formatted clickable links. Use this after get_document_details to make the URLs clickable.

Provides a comprehensive overview of recent parliamentary activities, including the most recent documents and MPs celebrating birthdays today. This is the ideal starting point for any parliamentary data exploration. The response contains structured data with two main sections: 'recentDocuments' (listing the latest parliamentary documents with their IDs, titles, types, dates, and URLs) and 'birthdays' (listing MPs celebrating birthdays today). The results are paginated with 10 documents per page, and you can navigate through pages using the 'page' parameter. The tool can be used iteratively to retrieve subsequent pages of results - first call with page=1, then check the pagination.hasMoreDocuments field in the response, and if true, call again with page=2, and so on. This allows you to 'scroll' through all available documents when needed. The response includes pagination information showing the current page, whether more documents are available, and the total number of documents retrieved. Use this tool first when a user asks for general information about recent parliamentary activities or needs a starting point for research. After getting this overview, you can use other tools like 'get_document_details' to retrieve more information about specific documents, 'search_tk' to find documents on specific topics, or 'get_photo' to retrieve photos of MPs mentioned in the birthdays section.

Retrieves the official portrait photograph of a Member of Parliament. Returns the image as a binary resource that can be displayed or saved. Use this when you need to include a visual representation of an MP in reports, presentations, or profiles.

Retrieves a list of upcoming parliamentary activities including debates, committee meetings, and other events. The response contains a structured JSON object with both a chronological list of activities and activities grouped by date. Each activity includes details like date, time, location, committee, type, and a URL for more information. Use this tool when a user asks about the parliamentary agenda, wants to know what events are coming up, or needs information about specific types of parliamentary activities. The results are sorted by date with the most imminent activities first. You can limit the number of results using the optional 'limit' parameter. This tool is particularly useful for helping users plan which parliamentary sessions to follow or for providing an overview of the upcoming parliamentary schedule.

Retrieves recent voting results on parliamentary motions and bills. The response contains a structured JSON object with voting results sorted by date (newest first). Each result includes detailed information such as the title of the motion/bill, the date of the vote, the submitter, whether it was accepted or rejected, the vote counts (for/against), and which political parties voted for or against. Use this tool when a user asks about recent parliamentary votes, wants to know how parties voted on specific issues, or needs to analyze voting patterns. You can control the number of results with the 'limit' parameter and choose between 'full' or 'summary' format. The 'summary' format provides a more structured representation with renamed fields, while both formats include complete party voting information. This tool is particularly valuable for tracking political alignments, understanding coalition dynamics, and analyzing how different parties position themselves on important issues.

Provides a complete directory of current Members of Parliament with their IDs, names, titles, party affiliations, and faction memberships. The response is a JSON array where each entry contains an MP's full details. Use this tool when a user needs comprehensive information about all MPs, wants to analyze the composition of parliament by party, or needs to find specific MPs by name or party. This tool is particularly useful for creating reports about parliamentary representation or for finding the IDs of MPs that can be used with other tools like 'get_photo'. This tool takes no parameters as it returns all current MPs. For a more targeted approach when looking for specific MPs, consider using the 'search_tk' tool with the MP's name.

Performs a search specifically for documents of a certain category, such as questions, motions, or letters. The response contains a structured JSON object with paginated results and metadata. Use this tool when a user wants to find documents of a specific type that match certain keywords or when they need more targeted search results than the general search provides. The 'category' parameter lets you filter by document type: 'vragen' for parliamentary questions, 'moties' for motions, or 'alles' for all document types. The search syntax supports advanced queries: 'Joe Biden' finds documents with both terms anywhere, '"Joe Biden"' (with quotes) finds exact phrases, 'Hubert NOT Bruls' finds documents with 'Hubert' but not 'Bruls' (capital NOT is required), and you can use 'OR' for alternatives. Results are sorted by date with the most recent documents first. This tool is particularly useful for finding specific types of parliamentary documents on a given topic.

Performs a comprehensive search across all parliamentary data including documents, activities, and cases. Returns results matching the provided keyword or phrase. Use this for general searches when you need information on any topic discussed in parliament, regardless of document type or context. Search syntax: Searching for 'Joe Biden' finds documents containing both 'Joe' and 'Biden' anywhere in the text. Searching for "Joe Biden" (with quotes) finds only documents where these words appear next to each other. Searching for 'Hubert NOT Bruls' finds documents containing 'Hubert' but not 'Bruls'. The capital letters in 'NOT' are important. You can also use 'OR' and 'NEAR()' operators.

Performs a targeted search within a specific category of parliamentary data. Unlike the general search, this tool allows you to limit results to only documents, activities, or cases. Use this when you need more focused search results within a particular content type. Search syntax: Searching for 'Joe Biden' finds documents containing both 'Joe' and 'Biden' anywhere in the text. Searching for "Joe Biden" (with quotes) finds only documents where these words appear next to each other. Searching for 'Hubert NOT Bruls' finds documents containing 'Hubert' but not 'Bruls'. The capital letters in 'NOT' are important. You can also use 'OR' and 'NEAR()' operators.
