## What you get

Once connected, Claude has access to 4 tools:

| Tool                        | What it does                                                     |
| --------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `search_sources`            | Discover regulatory bodies and document collections by geography |
| `search_references`         | Find specific regulatory documents using semantic search         |
| `search_regulatory_updates` | Find document changes: revisions, publications, withdrawals      |
| `get_reference_detail`      | Get the full version history of a regulatory document            |

Claude chains these tools automatically based on your questions — no need to call them manually.
