# GovTribe Documentation

`Documentation` returns one or more GovTribe MCP reference articles via `article_names`.

## 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

## Output Contract

* Returns raw markdown as plain text.
* The response is one markdown document formed by concatenating the requested articles in normalized order with blank-line separation.
* A one-item `article_names` array returns that single article.

## Usage Notes

* Call this before using other GovTribe MCP tools.
* Tool articles end in `_Tool`.
* Guide articles end in `_Guide`.
* Batched requests reject invalid article names rather than returning partial results.
* The returned markdown is the authoritative source for tool and guide usage details.
