- `openfec\_search\_candidates`: Find federal candidates by name, state, office, party, or cycle. Retrieve a specific candidate by FEC ID with financial totals. Candidate IDs start with H \(House\), S \(Senate\), or P \(President\) followed by exactly eight letters or digits.
- `openfec\_search\_committees`: Find political committees \(campaign, PAC, Super PAC, party\) by name, type, candidate affiliation, or state. Retrieve a specific committee by FEC ID. Committee IDs start with C followed by exactly eight digits \(e.g., C00358796\).
- `openfec\_get\_committee\_totals`: Get pre-aggregated committee financial totals — receipts, disbursements, cash on hand, debts, and the itemized/unitemized breakdown — without paginating Schedule A. Use mode "single" \(the default\) with a committee\_id for one committee's totals, one row per two-year cycle it has filed. Use mode "by\_e
- `openfec\_search\_contributions`: Search itemized individual contributions \(Schedule A\) or get aggregate breakdowns by size, state, employer, or occupation. Use to answer "who is funding this committee?" Itemized mode requires a committee\_id. Aggregate by\_size/by\_state can use candidate\_id instead.
- `openfec\_search\_disbursements`: Search itemized committee spending \(Schedule B\) or get aggregate breakdowns by purpose or recipient. All modes require a committee\_id. Use to answer "what is this committee spending money on?" or "who is receiving payments from this committee?"
- `openfec\_search\_expenditures`: Search independent expenditures \(Schedule E\) — outside spending supporting or opposing federal candidates. Covers Super PACs, party committees, and other groups. Use itemized mode for individual expenditure records, or by\_candidate for aggregated totals per candidate; by\_candidate needs either a can
- `openfec\_search\_coordinated\_expenditures`: Search coordinated party expenditures \(Schedule F\) — spending a party committee makes on behalf of a candidate it supports, in coordination with that campaign. Distinct from independent expenditures \(openfec\_search\_expenditures\), which cannot be coordinated with the candidate, and from direct contri
- `openfec\_search\_filings`: Search FEC filings and reports by committee, candidate, form type, or date range. Covers financial reports \(F3/F3P/F3X\), statements of candidacy \(F2\), organizational filings \(F1\), 24-hour IE notices \(F24\), and amendments.
- `openfec\_lookup\_elections`: Look up federal election races and candidate financial summaries. Find who's running in a race with fundraising totals, or get an aggregate race summary.
- `openfec\_search\_legal`: Search FEC legal documents: advisory opinions, enforcement cases \(MURs\), alternative dispute resolutions, administrative fines, and statutes. The citation, penalty, respondent, ao\_number, and case\_number filters each apply to only some document types; with type omitted, the search returns only the t
- `openfec\_get\_legal\_document`: Fetch one FEC legal document — advisory opinion, MUR, ADR, administrative fine, or statute — by its type and number. openfec\_search\_legal replaces each result's documents and dispositions arrays with a count and category summary and cuts every commission vote down to a date and a 200-character actio
- `openfec\_lookup\_calendar`: Look up FEC calendar events, filing deadlines, and election dates. Use to find upcoming filing windows for a committee, locate when a federal election occurred, or scope FEC events by date range and category.
