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

Search the Laws of Bangladesh (Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs) for Acts and Ordinances by words in the title or text, in English or Bangla (e.g. “penal code”, “labour”, “দণ্ডবিধি”, “বাংলাদেশ শ্রম আইন”). Returns act_id, title, whether the register marks it repealed, and a text snippet; section-level hits are included unless scope is “acts”. Use act_id with bd_law_get.

Parameters

`query`	string	yes	Words from the Act title or text, English or Bangla, e.g. “Labour Act”.
`scope`	string	no	”all” (default) for Acts and section hits, or “acts” for Acts only.
