List recent bills filtered by StatusID (from KNS_Status), ordered by LastUpdatedDate descending. Ordering uses LastUpdatedDate since the OData API does not expose per-stage transition dates on KNS_Bill.
AI agents call list-bills-by-status to retrieve information from Knesset MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and queries public parliamentary data without modifying, deleting, or executing any operations. It has no side effects on the system or data. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—at worst, an AI agent could retrieve irrelevant bills, but no data would be harmed or altered. This is a straightforward Read operation on a public information API.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states it 'List[s] recent bills filtered by StatusID' and is ordered by date. The verb 'list' combined with filtering and sorting indicates pure data retrieval with no modification or execution capabilities.
