Disambiguate a person by name. Returns all matching Person entities
AI agents call resolve_person to retrieve information from Civic Awareness without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs a lookup/search operation, returning Person entities that match a given name. It reads from existing data without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. Severity is low as it only returns legislative/civic person records from a public-data context.
