    • The name "get_congress_trades" says "get": a word for reading.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    U.S. Congress stock trades from official STOCK Act Periodic Transaction Reports (House Clerk + Senate eFD). Each row: member, chamber, state, ticker, company, type (purchase/sale/exchange), disclosed dollar range, transaction & disclosure dates, AND per-trade performance (price at trade, latest price, % move since). Filter by ticker, member (substring), chamber, or type. Newest transaction first. CAVEAT: PTRs are disclosed up to ~45 days after the trade — read as 'recent weeks', not real-time.

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.
