# GovTribe Documentation

`Documentation` returns the GovTribe MCP reference article for a specific `article_name`.

## When To Use

Typical questions this tool answers well:

* Which article should I read before I call a specific GovTribe MCP tool?
* What guide explains query construction, search mode, date filters, location filters, aggregations, or vector-store retrieval?
* What are the input and output contracts for a specific GovTribe search or account-action tool?

## Required Reading

None.

## Input Contract

* `article_name`: Documentation article to retrieve.
  * `type`: `string`
  * `required`: `yes`
  * `default`: `n/a`
  * `notes`: Use the exact article name, such as `Search_Federal_Contract_Opportunities_Tool`, `Search_Query_Guide`, or `Vector_Store_Content_Retrieval_Guide`.

## Output Contract

* Returns the raw markdown contents of the selected article as plain text.

## Usage Notes

* Call this before using other GovTribe MCP tools.
* Tool articles end in `_Tool`.
* Guide articles end in `_Guide`.
* The returned markdown is the authoritative source for tool and guide usage details.
