Invoke Search Tool MCP response

• Returned by: Invoke Search Tool MCP tool
• Response type: Structured wrapper response in describe mode, or the selected search tool's normal MCP response in call mode

Response Shape

Invoke_Search_Tool returns different content based on mode.

In describe mode, tool is the selected search tool's live MCP descriptor, including name, description, inputSchema, and annotations. documentation contains exact GovTribe Docs content for the selected search tool and its response payload.

In call mode, the wrapper does not add an extra response envelope or translate selected-tool output. For represented typed Search_* results, clients can read the search-results envelope from structuredContent; content[0].text remains parseable JSON with the same payload for compatibility.

Follow-up Behavior

Use describe before the first call for a selected search tool. If the agent needs query-construction guidance, call the Documentation MCP tool first, then use describe to retrieve the selected tool schema and documentation.

When call returns a validation error, adjust arguments to match the selected search tool schema. The wrapper does not translate selected-tool filters, sorts, aggregations, or field names.
