How can I filter documents by a specific government agency?

Use the `search_documents` tool and provide the `agencyId` parameter (e.g., 'EPA', 'FAA', or 'CMS'). This will restrict the results to materials published only by that specific agency.

Is it possible to see what the public is saying about a specific rule?

Yes! Use the `search_comments` tool with the `commentOnId` parameter set to the unique Document ID. You can then use `get_comment` with a specific Comment ID to read the full text of any submission.

How do I get the complete history of a specific rulemaking folder?

Use the `get_docket` tool with the specific Docket ID. This retrieves the primary metadata for the docket, while `search_documents` with the same docket ID can list all associated rules and supporting materials.
