No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/hmrc_manual_changes for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Read what HMRC most recently changed in one of its internal manuals — the per-section revision log the department publishes with each manual, newest first. Each entry carries the section id and title, HMRC’s own note of what changed (“Updated for change in legislation for intermediaries”, “Page withdrawn”), its published_at and age_days. Use it to tell whether HMRC’s stated position on a topic has moved, to audit a manual’s freshness, or to watch a specific area of UK tax guidance for revisions.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`manual`	string	yes	Manual base_path or slug, e.g. “employment-income-manual” or “/hmrc-internal-manuals/capital-gains-manual”.
`since`	string	no	Only changes published on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD).
`section_id`	string	no	Only changes to this section, e.g. “EIM42750”.
`limit`	number	no	Change entries to return, 1-200 (default 25).
