No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/au_law_search for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Search Australian Commonwealth (federal) legislation by words in the title, e.g. “privacy” or “fair work”. Defaults to Acts; collection can also be LegislativeInstrument (regulations, rules, determinations) or NotifiableInstrument. By default only titles in force today are returned (set in_force_only=false to include repealed). Returns id, title, year, number, collection, in-force status, principal-or-amending flag and a link; 25 per page. Federal law only, not state or territory law. Pair with au_law_get for the text.
