Description, as the server wrote it
New alerts for this account's watchlists, highest priority first: new publications, Public Inspection filings (labeled prepublication), deadline extensions, effective-date changes, withdrawals, corrections and deadline reminders. Reading marks them delivered unless peek=true. An empty list means nothing new.

Why it is in this group
- The description's first verb is "save": a word for a change.
Description, as the server wrote it
Save a persistent watchlist. FedReg Tracker then monitors the Federal Register and Public Inspection on its own schedule and queues alerts and deadline reminders, with no chat open. Example: 'Track new cybersecurity regulations affecting federal contractors' → {name:'cyber-contractors', filters:{keywords:['cybersecurity'], cfr:[{title:48}]}}. Requires an access key.

Why it is in this group
- The name "get_cfr_changes" says "get": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it
Changes to codified CFR text from the eCFR (ecfr.gov): which sections got a new version, when (version, amendment and eCFR issue dates), whether eCFR marks it substantive or removed, links to the eCFR page and XML for that date, and Federal Register documents that probably made the change. Parts in watchlists are checked daily; any other part is read on first request. Give cfr_title and cfr_part (or a section like 63.2), or a watchlist with CFR filters. Version metadata, not a text diff; the eCFR is not the official legal edition.

Also finds documents still on Public Inspection.

search_federal_regulationsSearch U.S.No findings
Why it is in this group
- The name "search_federal_regulations" says "search": a word for reading.
Description, as the server wrote it
Search U.S. Federal Register documents (final rules, proposed rules, notices, presidential documents) live from FederalRegister.gov. Filter by keywords, agency, document type, publication/comment/effective dates, CFR title and part, RIN, docket or industry. Every result states its legal status (a proposed rule is never binding) and official links. No account needed.
Annotations the server declares
- title: Search federal regulations

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.

5 of these tools change something. Run those as governed actions.

Declare what an action changes, and Anlyon puts it under a shared limit, binds every approval to the exact request, and grades the outcome. It works on any HTTPS API you can describe as an action.

Anlyon does not run, proxy or govern this MCP server. A tool your own code calls directly is not routed through Anlyon and is not governed by it.
