  title: Govly Tools API (Alpha)
  version: 1.0.0-alpha
  description: >
    ALPHA / UNSTABLE: This API is still in active development. Endpoint
    behavior, request fields, response fields, error codes, and operation names
    may change before the Tools API is declared stable.

    REST-callable tool surface for agent and automation workflows. Agents are
    the primary consumer, but integrations can be built on this API. Responses
    are JSON for typed clients; MCP tools may render action results into
    text-oriented formats separately.
