 ## Tools
 
-| Tool | Description |
-|------|-------------|
+- `content(base_path)` — content for a gov.uk page (e.g. `/jobsearch`, `/government/organisations/cabinet-office`)
+- `search(query, count?, start?, filter_format?)` — full GOV.UK search
+- `organisations(start?, count?)` — list organisations (departments, agencies, …)
+- `taxons(base_path?)` — taxonomy tree node
+- `search_autocomplete(query)` — autocomplete on the search index
+

+## UK departmental manuals (fleet #1972)
+
+Topic-level discovery over the largest body of official interpretation on
+GOV.UK. All of it was reachable before only if you already knew the `base_path`
+of the page you wanted — which is the one thing a caller asking a tax question
+does not know.
+
+Measured 2026-09-14 against `www.gov.uk/api/search.json`:
+
+| `filter_format` | count |
+|---|---:|
+| `hmrc_manual` | 253 |
+| `hmrc_manual_section` | 85,559 |
+| `manual` (other departments) | 174 |
+| `manual_section` | 2,658 |
+
+- `hmrc_manuals(query?, include_other_departments?, count?, start?)` — which manuals exist, with their base_paths.
+- `hmrc_manual_search(query, manual?, include_other_departments?, count?, start?)` — a UK tax question in plain words → the sections that answer it, each with `section_id`, `published_at`, `age_days`. `manual` accepts either `"employment-income-manual"` or the full `/hmrc-internal-manuals/employment-income-manual`.
+- `hmrc_manual_section(base_path | manual + section_id, max_chars?)` — one section's full text, with `withdrawn`, `first_published_at`, `published_at`, `age_days`.
+- `hmrc_manual_changes(manual, since?, section_id?, limit?)` — HMRC's own per-section revision log, **newest first**.
+
+### The freshness trap, written down because it returns a clean 200
+
+A manual's `details.change_notes[]` is a complete revision history served
+**oldest first** — 1,025 entries for the Employment Income Manual, running
+2016-08-02 to 2026-09-11. Reading `change_notes[0]` as "the latest change"
+reports a ten-year-old edit as today's news, with no error anywhere.
+`hmrc_manual_changes` sorts explicitly by `published_at` descending rather than
+reversing, so a change in upstream ordering cannot silently invert the answer.
+
+A **section's** own `public_updated_at` is the reliable per-section date and is
+what every tool here returns as `source_last_modified`. Note it does **not**
+equal the section's first change note: `EIM42776` has a change note published
+2016-08-02 and a `public_updated_at` of 2022-06-27.

+### What this endpoint actually serves
+
+`tools/list` at `https://gateway.pipeworx.io/gov-uk-content/mcp` returns the tools in the table
+above **plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools** — `ask_pipeworx`,
+`discover_tools`, `search_within`, `remember`/`recall` and the rest of the
+gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
+single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
+pack's own. The connection's `initialize` response states its exact scope, and
+is the authoritative answer for a given day.
+
+This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
+scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
+`ask_pipeworx`, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
+second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
+them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
+connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

+Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1683+ data sources. The

+reaches all of them from either one.

+## No MCP client? Call it over HTTP

+## Standalone (no gateway account)

+This package also runs as a local stdio MCP server — no Pipeworx account, no
+gateway round-trip:
