What Do They Know?

How to connect

• build_request_url

  Build a prefilled WhatDoTheyKnow request URL.

• get_request_feed_items

  Return parsed Atom feed entries for a specific FOI request as structured objects. Use this instead of reading the raw wdtk://requests/{slug}/feed resource when you want structured AtomEntry objects rather than raw XML. Each entry's `link` field contains the request URL; use the slug from that URL with request_json or authority_json for full detail.

• search_request_events

  Search WhatDoTheyKnow's feed-based event index and return structured results. Call this to find FOI requests matching a query expression. Returns up to `limit` AtomEntry objects. Use the `link` field of each result as the next navigation step — extract the request slug and call the wdtk://requests/{slug} resource or get_request_feed_items for full detail. Example expressions: status:successful body:"Liverpool City Council" (variety:sent OR variety:response) status:successful

• search_authorities

  Search WhatDoTheyKnow public authorities by name. Returns up to `limit` authorities whose name or short_name contains `query` (case-insensitive). Use the `slug` field with authority_json or build_request_url as the next step. Example: search_authorities("Liverpool") → slug "liverpool_city_council" Then: authority_json with that slug, or build_request_url with it.

• create_request_record

  Create a request through the experimental write API. Requires WDTK_API_KEY in the server environment.

• update_request_state

  Update the user-assessed state of a request through the experimental write API. Requires WDTK_API_KEY in the server environment.

• list_prompts

  List all available prompts. Returns JSON with prompt metadata including name, description, and optional arguments.

• get_prompt

  Get a prompt by name with optional arguments. Returns the rendered prompt as JSON with a messages array. Arguments should be provided as a dict mapping argument names to values.
