Get details for any legislative entity.
AI agents call get_entity to retrieve information from Umbrella Terminal MCP without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves or queries data about legislative entities without modifying, deleting, or executing operations. It has no side effects beyond returning information. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an AI agent could only access public legislative data that is already available through official channels.
