List bills by type (private, government, or committee), optionally filtered by Knesset number, ordered by most recent update.
AI agents call list-bills-by-type 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 queries and retrieves parliamentary bill data filtered by type and Knesset session, returning results ordered chronologically. It has no side effects: it does not create, modify, delete, or execute anything. The blast radius of misuse is minimal—an agent could only retrieve excess or sensitive legislative data, which is a read-only concern.
From the tool's definition Tool description states it 'List bills by type' and 'ordered by most recent update' — purely retrieval operations with no modification, deletion, or execution of external code. The verb 'list' is a quintessential Read operation.
