Function handleGetVotingRecords

handleGetVotingRecords(args: unknown): Promise<ToolResult>
Handles the get_voting_records MCP tool request.

Retrieves voting records from European Parliament plenary sessions, supporting filtering by session, topic, and date range. Returns aggregate vote tallies (for/against/abstain) and final results. The mepId parameter is accepted but has no effect — the EP API only provides aggregate vote counts, not individual MEP positions.
Parameters
- args: unknown
  Raw tool arguments, validated against GetVotingRecordsSchema
Returns Promise<ToolResult>
MCP tool result containing a paginated list of voting records with vote counts and results
Throws
- If args fails schema validation (e.g., missing required fields or invalid format)
- If the European Parliament API is unreachable or returns an error response
Example
```
const result = await handleGetVotingRecords({
  sessionId: 'PLENARY-2024-01',
  topic: 'Climate Change',
  limit: 20
});
// Returns voting records for the January 2024 plenary session on climate topics
```
Security
- Input is validated with Zod before any API call.
- Personal data in responses is minimised per GDPR Article 5(1)(c).
- All requests are rate-limited and audit-logged per ISMS Policy AU-002.
