Six tools covering the Library of Congress digital holdings — general search with format/date/subject/location filters, full item retrieval, Chronicling America newspaper search with OCR, single-page full-text fetch, LCSH subject heading lookup, and curated collection browsing:

Tool	Description
`libofcongress_search`	Search LOC digital collections by keyword with optional format, date range, subject heading, geographic location, and collection filters. Returns item summaries with IDs for follow-up retrieval.
`libofcongress_get_item`	Retrieve full metadata for a specific LOC item — contributors, subjects, summary, languages, locations, rights, physical description, call number, formats, access restrictions, resource links (TIFF/JPEG/PDF), and related items.
`libofcongress_search_newspapers`	Search historical newspaper pages in the Chronicling America corpus. Returns pages with OCR text excerpts (~500 chars), publication title, date, state, and the URL needed for `libofcongress_get_newspaper_page`.
`libofcongress_get_newspaper_page`	Retrieve the full OCR text of a specific newspaper page. Pass the `url` field from a `libofcongress_search_newspapers` result. Returns `ocr_available: false` when the page has no digitized text.
`libofcongress_search_subjects`	Search Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) by keyword. Returns controlled-vocabulary labels and URIs — use the label as the `subject` filter in `libofcongress_search`.
