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

Search the FULL TEXT of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) by topic or keyword — “workplace safety bulletin board”, “security deposit”, “septic system permit”, “cannabis retailer”. Calls the Washington State Legislature’s own full-text search index of every WAC section (it matches rule TEXT, not just captions), returns matching citations with captions, highlighted snippets and the index-wide match count. Optionally restrict to a title or chapter with cite_prefix (“296” for L&I, “458-20” for Revenue excise-tax rules). Call wa_wac_section with a citation for the full text and history. Keyless.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	yes	Topic or keywords, e.g. “safety bulletin board” or “landlord deposit”. Plain words; the index is Elasticsearch-style (all terms, stemmed).
`limit`	number	no	Max results to return, default 10, max 25.
`cite_prefix`	string	no	Optional WAC title or chapter to restrict results to, e.g. “296” or “296-800”.
