`search_law_commission_publications`

Pack: law-commission · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/law-commission/mcp

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

Search consultation papers, reports, summaries and terms-of-reference published by the Law Commission of England & Wales (lawcom.gov.uk) — the independent statutory body that reviews the law and recommends reform. Returns title, link and date for each match (excerpt is usually empty upstream — the publication record itself carries only a project link, not a summary; call get_law_commission_publication for the project and any attached PDF report). Welsh-language duplicates of an English publication are filtered out automatically (the Commission republishes the same report under a separate id in Welsh), so results are one row per report. Omit query to get the most recent publications.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	no	Free-text search over publication titles and content, e.g. “leasehold” or “surrogacy”. Omit for the most recent publications.
`limit`	number	no	Publications to return, 1-50 (default 10).
