USE THIS TOOL WHEN you have a debate_ext_id and want verbatim contributions, optionally filtered to one member.
Canonical path for "everything a member said in this debate" regardless
of vocabulary — text-search tools (parliament_member_debates,
parliament_search_hansard) filter by contribution TEXT, dropping members
who spoke without using your phrase verbatim. This tool filters by
MemberId on the debate's Items list, so vocabulary doesn't matter.
Typical chain: parliament_find_member(name) → member_id, then
parliament_search_hansard or parliament_lookup_by_column → debate_ext_id,
then this tool. The parliament module's instructions describe the full
composition pattern.
Without member_id, returns every contribution (~100-200 for a long debate).
If the wire returns no contributions for a member you expect to have
spoken, report the empty result honestly — do NOT reconstruct quotes
from training data. Authoritative source for member contributions.
