# get_spokespersons A read tool on the UK Parliament MCP Server MCP server. Agent View of the PolicyLayer registry record for `get_spokespersons`. HTML page: https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-spokespersons ## Facts - Tool: `get_spokespersons` - Server: UK Parliament MCP Server (`chrisbrooksbank/uk-parliament-mcp-lab`) — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab.md - Homepage: https://github.com/ChrisBrooksbank/uk-parliament-mcp-lab - Risk category: Read (Low risk) - Registry record: grade A, identity unverified - Server rate-limited: no - Parameters: 0 - Recommended policy verdict: Allowed ## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0) ```json { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "tools/call", "params": { "name": "get_spokespersons", "arguments": {} } } ``` ## Why get_spokespersons is rated Low The tool appears to retrieve spokespersons data from UK Parliament records based on its name and the consistent read-only pattern of sibling tools on this server. No modification, execution, or destructive capability is implied. Confidence is slightly reduced (0.85 rather than higher) due to empty description, but the tool name and context provide sufficient evidence for Read classification. From the tool's own definition: "Tool name 'get_spokespersons' and contextual pattern from sibling tools (get_amendment_by_id, get_act_of_parliament, check_mp_vote) that are all retrieval operations. Description is empty, but naming convention strongly suggests data retrieval." ## Use case AI agents call get_spokespersons to retrieve information from UK Parliament MCP Server without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere. ## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer) Verdict: **Allowed**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches UK Parliament MCP Server: ```json { "version": "1", "default": "deny", "tools": { "get_spokespersons": {} } } ``` ## Other tools on UK Parliament MCP Server (208) - `bill_stages` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/bill-stages.md - `bill_types` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/bill-types.md - `browse_erskine_may_index` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/browse-erskine-may-index.md - `browse_locations` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/browse-locations.md - `check_mp_vote` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/check-mp-vote.md - `edms_for_member_id` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/edms-for-member-id.md - `get_act_of_parliament` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-act-of-parliament.md - `get_all_bills_rss` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-all-bills-rss.md - `get_amendment_by_id` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-amendment-by-id.md - `get_annulment_date` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-annulment-date.md - `get_annunciator_by_date` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-annunciator-by-date.md - `get_answer_deadline` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-answer-deadline.md - `get_answering_bodies` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-answering-bodies.md - `get_archived_publication_links` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-archived-publication-links.md - `get_bill_by_id` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-bill-by-id.md - `get_bill_news_articles` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-bill-news-articles.md - `get_bill_overview` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-bill-overview.md - `get_bill_petition_by_id` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-bill-petition-by-id.md - `get_bill_publications` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-bill-publications.md - `get_bill_rss` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-bill-rss.md - `get_bill_stage_amendments` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-bill-stage-amendments.md - `get_bill_stage_details` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-bill-stage-details.md - `get_bill_stage_ping_pong_items` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-bill-stage-ping-pong-items.md - `get_bill_stage_publications` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-bill-stage-publications.md - `get_bill_stages` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-bill-stages.md - `get_calendar_categories` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-calendar-categories.md - `get_calendar_event` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-calendar-event.md - `get_calendar_locations` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-calendar-locations.md - `get_calendar_tags` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-calendar-tags.md - `get_calendar_types` — Read — https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab/get-calendar-types.md - …and 178 more: https://policylayer.com/tools/chrisbrooksbank-uk-parliament-mcp-lab.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
