`read_rule_text`

Pack: west-virginia-rules · 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/read_rule_text for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Read the text of a West Virginia administrative rule filing (the rule as filed). Takes a filing document id from get_rule. Returns the text in pages of characters with total length so long rules can be read in sequence via offset. Filings described “Modified File” are redlines (struck and inserted text both appear, e.g. old and new section numbers side by side); the “Agency Approved” and “Valid” filings are cleaner. Use to quote the exact supervision, scope-of-practice, or licensing requirement.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`doc_id`	number	yes	Filing document id from get_rule, e.g. 59557.
`offset`	number	no	Character offset to start from (default 0).
`max_chars`	number	no	Characters to return (default 20000, max 40000).
`find`	string	no	Optional: return the passages around this phrase instead of a linear page.
