      • If the European Parliament API is unreachable or returns an error response
      const result = await handleAssessMepInfluence({
        mepId: '124810',
        includeVoting: true,
        includeCommittees: true
      });
      // Returns influence assessment with overall score, voting discipline,
      // committee leadership, and seniority breakdown
      • Input is validated with Zod before any API call.

      0.8.0

      • assessMepInfluenceToolMetadata for MCP schema registration
      • handleTrackMepAttendance for MEP attendance and participation tracking Assess MEP influence tool handler

      Computes a composite influence scorecard for a single MEP using a 5-dimension weighted model aligned with CIA Political Scorecards methodology. Fetches live MEP profile and parliamentary questions from the EP Open Data API to populate the scoring dimensions.

      Dimensions (weighted):

      • Voting Activity (25%) — attendance rate + participation volume
      • Legislative Output (25%) — rapporteurships + committee leadership roles
      • Committee Engagement (20%) — membership breadth + leadership positions
      • Parliamentary Oversight (15%) — parliamentary questions filed
      • Coalition Building (15%) — cross-party voting rate + engagement rate

      When MEP is not found or the EP API request fails

      When input fails schema validation (missing mepId, invalid date format)

      // Basic influence assessment
      const result = await handleAssessMepInfluence({ mepId: "197558" });
      const assessment = JSON.parse(result.content[0].text);
      console.log(`${assessment.mepName}: ${assessment.rank} (${assessment.overallScore}/100)`);

      // Detailed assessment with dimension breakdown
      const result = await handleAssessMepInfluence({
        mepId: "197558",
        dateFrom: "2024-01-01",
        dateTo: "2024-12-31",
        includeDetails: true
      });

      Input validated by Zod. Errors sanitized (no stack traces exposed). Personal data (MEP profiles) access logged per GDPR Article 30. ISMS Policy: SC-002 (Input Validation), AC-003 (Least Privilege)
