Version history

Timeline of data-source additions, new domains, and schema changes. Latest at top.

Every entry has its own URL, so you can link to one on its own.

Since 2026-08-16 every Taiwan tool name carries a tw_ prefix. In entries published before then, the names have been updated to the current ones, so copying them still works; the names as originally published no longer exist.

Latest2026-10-07v1.83.1legislature

🏛️ Open Parliament — ask the Legislative Yuan's own records directly

📄 Full-text search across the gazettes — the gazette is the Legislative Yuan's official verbatim record, covering floor and committee speeches, written motions, reports and appendices. Give it keywords and it returns the matching gazettes with surrounding context; when a hit falls inside a motion, it comes with the proposer, co-signers and caucuses. You can also restrict it to gazettes where a particular member spoke. The earliest gazette held is from November 2012 — the oldest machine-readable one the Legislative Yuan publishes; anything older exists only as scanned images. The early years are still being backfilled, and every response reports the range as it stands.

v1.77.0
tools

🔀 New tool interface — discover first, then execute; dataset queries no longer need SQL

🔀 Three steps instead of one list — previously every tool was listed up front and you picked; now it is discover_tools (describe what you need in plain language) → inspect_tool (see its parameters) → execute_tool (run it). Agents no longer need a long tool list in context.

skills

🧰 Skills paused — the tool call interface is being redesigned, so the current set is withdrawn

🧰 What is withdrawn — every tw-opendata-* SKILL.md page, the individual .skill.zip files and the all-in-one bundle are no longer offered. /skills stays as a single explanatory page and the former per-skill URLs redirect to it, so existing links and bookmarks do not break.
