`oh_code_search`

Pack: ohio-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/oh_code_search for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Search the Ohio Revised Code BY TOPIC or keyword rather than by section number — “EDGE certification minority business”, “county competitive bidding threshold”, “OVI penalties”, “landlord security deposit”. Covers all chapters of the Revised Code. Returns ranked sections with citation, heading and an opening excerpt; call oh_revised_code with a result’s section for the full text. Full-text match, not semantic search. A query with no hits returns found:false. Keyless.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	yes	Topic or keywords, e.g. “minority business enterprise certification”.
`limit`	number	no	Max results, default 10, max 25.
