List recorded parliamentary votes/polls (Abstimmungen) with their title and date. Optionally scope to a single legislative period via period_id (a parliament-period id). Returns most recent polls first.
AI agents call list_polls to retrieve information from Abgeordnetenwatch without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
limit | number | — | Max results to return (default 10). |
period_id | number | string | — | Optional parliament-period (legislature) id to filter polls. |
Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
This tool retrieves historical parliamentary voting data without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It is a straightforward query operation that returns public legislative records. There is no capability to alter data, trigger external actions, or cause irreversible changes. The low severity reflects that misuse would only expose or organize already-public parliamentary information.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'List[s] recorded parliamentary votes/polls' and 'Returns most recent polls first'. The verb 'list' and the read-only nature of querying historical voting records indicate pure data retrieval with no side effects.

Register the Abgeordnetenwatch MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for list_polls: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Abgeordnetenwatch. Nothing to install.
list_polls is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the list_polls rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for list_polls. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
list_polls is provided by the Abgeordnetenwatch MCP server (https://gateway.pipeworx.io/abgeordnetenwatch/mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
