`mi_admin_rule`

Pack: michigan-code · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

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

Get the FULL TEXT of a rule from the Michigan Administrative Code — agency rules that implement Michigan statutes (licensing, health, safety, and other department regulations), by citation like “R 400.4142”. Different from mi_compiled_law, which serves only statutes (MCL). Currently indexes the rule sets listed in rule_sets_covered on a miss; a citation outside those is reported as not-yet-indexed, not as nonexistent. Example: “R 400.4142” is the Child Caring Institutions rule on health-service policies, including medication storage and dispensing. Keyless.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`citation`	string	yes	Rule citation, e.g. “R 400.4142” or “400.4142”. The part before the dot is the chapter.
