FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI vote on nominations for me?

    No. The AI only reads and reports on the status of nominations. It cannot perform any legislative actions or cast votes.

  • 02

    Does the AI update the Senate records?

    No. This MCP is read-only. It pulls data from the Senate to inform you, but it cannot change or delete any official records.

  • 03

    How often is the nomination data updated?

    The AI pulls the most recent data available through the Congress MCP whenever you ask a question.

  • 04

    Can I track specific senators' influence on nominees?

    The AI can show you which committee a nominee is in, but it does not have tools to track individual senator sentiment or private negotiations.

  • 05

    Will the AI notify me when a status changes?

    The AI does not send proactive alerts. You must ask it for an update to see the current status of a nominee.
