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

Retrieve the full text of one section of an HMRC internal manual (or another UK departmental manual), by its base_path or by manual plus section id such as EIM42750. Returns the section title, its text, its place in the manual’s structure, whether it has been withdrawn, and its published_at / source_last_modified with age_days so you can tell how current HMRC’s stated position is.

Parameters

`base_path`	string	no	Full section path, e.g. “/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual/eim42750”.
`manual`	string	no	Manual base_path or slug, used together with section_id.
`section_id`	string	no	Section id, e.g. “EIM42750” (case-insensitive).
