Tools

• get_explanatory_notes ~456 tokens
  Read the Explanatory Notes for a UK Act — plain-language commentary written by the government department responsible, explaining what a section is meant to do and why. NOT part of the law and not endorsed by Parliament — use for context on intent, never as the text of the law itself (use get_legisla
• get_legislation ~262 tokens
  Get metadata for one specific piece of UK legislation by type + year + number (e.g. ukpga/2010/15 = Equality Act 2010). Returns title, type, year, number, status, extent, enactment date, a long-title summary, and the full-text URL. Content is XML; fields are best-effort parsed and a raw excerpt is i

  Read the actual WORDS of one section of a UK Act or statutory instrument — "what does section 5 of the Data Protection Act 2018 say", "quote section 1 of the Human Rights Act", "text of s.170 DPA 2018". Returns the full text of that section alone, so a specific provision does not cost a whole statut

  Read the text of a whole UK Act or statutory instrument — the body of the law rather than a catalogue entry. Use for short instruments and for reading an Act end to end; for one provision prefer get_legislation_section, which returns just that section. Large Acts run to megabytes, so this reads a bo

  What has amended this UK Act or instrument, and (in the other direction) what this legislation itself amends — "what has changed the Data Protection Act 2018", "has section 13A been amended", "what does the Victims and Prisoners Act 2024 amend". Each row names the amending/amended instrument, the af
• search_uk_legislation ~464 tokens
  Search UK legislation by title words (and optional year), returning matching Acts/instruments with their full-text URLs. UK legislation only. Source: legislation.gov.uk Atom feed. Document types: ukpga (UK Public General Acts), uksi (UK Statutory Instruments), asp (Scottish Parliament Acts), anaw/as
