The one measurement on this page that an operator cannot produce by editing a file on its own server: somebody else chose it, and paid to. Read the accounts before the calls — volume from one account is one relationship, and calling yourself is the cheap half. Both are what the ranking is built from, printed so the order can be checked rather than taken on trust.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

discover_meeting_vocabulary open 3h ago

Discover the valid category and topic filter values before filtering a search. Meeting `category_tag`s are opaque UUIDs and topics have no fixed list, so you cannot guess them. Call this first to get the real values, then pass a returned `category_tag` (from `categories[].tags`) or `topic` string into `search_meetings_semantic` / `list_recent_meetings`. Scope with a government and/or date range; calls without explicit dates default to a recent window (returned as `default_window_days`).

get_coverage_overview open 3h ago

list_government_documents unknown never probed
List a government's adopted plan and budget documents. Each entry carries `covers` — every general-plan element that document answers for. A city that publishes one bound general plan satisfies all eight with the same PDF, so do not conclude an element is unpublished because no entry is named after it. `status` says what the entry offers: `converted` is searchable and readable; `superseded` is a retired edition, still stored but not searchable; and **`failed` means we hold this document and could not read it — it is not evidence the city published nothing.** Cite `source_url` in that case; it is always the city's own copy. An `availability` block appears ONLY when something is wrong with a document, and `availability.reason` says what. No `availability` key means there is nothing to report.

get_document unknown never probed
One document's metadata. Use read_document_pages to read it. If an `availability` key is present, read it before quoting figures: its `problems` are transcription-lint findings, most often a footnote marker that may have been merged into the number it annotates. No such key means the document transcribed cleanly.

find_governments_by_zip unknown never probed

search_meetings_semantic unknown never probed

Search OpenPublica meeting summaries by meaning, exact terms, or both. The best default tool for "what has been said/decided about X" questions. Results carry a `relevance_score` (semantic, 0-1) and/or `keyword_score` (BM25) plus `highlights`, so you can triage matches by confidence. If the response sets `degraded_to_vector`, the keyword index was unavailable and results are semantic-only — do NOT treat them as exact-term matches. Narrow with `category_tag`/`topic` (get valid values from `discover_meeting_vocabulary`), a date range, or one or more governments. Returns a summary preview; call `get_meeting` with a returned `meeting_id` for the full summary or transcript.

search_meeting_transcript unknown never probed

Find exact quotes/passages inside one meeting's transcript. Use this to pull direct quotations without loading a whole (often very long) transcript: it fetches the transcript server-side, scans it, and returns only the matching passages with approximate `start`/`end` timecodes when available. Exact matches rank first, with a fuzzy fallback. Prefer this over `get_meeting(include_transcript=true)` when you only need specific quotes.

Discover which governments OpenPublica tracks near a coordinate.

Resolve a place *name* to the governments OpenPublica tracks there.

read_document_pages unknown never probed

Read a page range of a document as markdown. Pages are transcribed from rendered pixels, so tables and scanned text come through as text. A page that could not be transcribed appears as a marked hole rather than being silently dropped — if you see one, say so instead of reading past it. Text is assembled from page windows, so `covered` may be slightly wider than what you asked for; cite the page numbers in `covered`, not `requested`.

Search adopted plan and budget documents, returning page-cited excerpts. Each hit's `text` is a short passage around the match, not the full page — call read_document_pages with the hit's `first_page` to read it in context. Every hit carries `first_page`/`last_page` and `source_url`. Quote those when citing: the page number is what makes the claim checkable against the city's own copy. This is word matching, not semantic search — try the terms a plan would actually use. Only currently-served documents are searchable, so an empty result is not evidence the government has no such policy; check list_government_documents for what is held and what could not be read. A hit with `document_complete: false` comes from a document with transcription findings. Verify it against `source_url` before quoting a number from it.

_ try it through the hub, ceiling 0

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.

_ for your README measured, not declared

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Own the domain? Prove it and the listing carries a verified badge here too: passport.

_ how we know

card completeness

100%

An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.

spec deviations

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.

_ record

Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
