search_gazette

Searches the Commonwealth Gazette by title. The Gazette is a separate collection from legislation: each result is metadata only (title, register id, registration date and Federal Register link), with no text.

Fact	Value
Tool	`search_gazette`
Partner scope required	`gazette:read`
Subscriber tier required	AI Pro
Accepts `as_at`	no

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Default
`query`	string	no	`null`
`limit`	integer	no	`20`

Notes

Titles only. The search matches the notice's title, not its content.
With no query, the most recently registered notices are returned.
limit is capped at 100; limit_requested and limit_applied say what was used.
