Scored across 3 tools
Each tool targets a clearly distinct action: search the library, retrieve a specific section, or verify citations in a text. The descriptions explicitly delineate the workflow (search first, then get_section for quoting), leaving no realistic risk of misselection.
All tools use a consistent legal_ prefix with snake_case, which is predictable. The verb/object structure varies slightly (get_section, library_search, verify_citations), but each name remains readable and self-explanatory.
Three tools form a tight, coherent triad (search, read, verify) for a legal research server, so nothing feels extraneous. It is on the lean side—there is no browse/list or direct citation-retrieval tool—but the scope is well matched.
The surface covers the core legal research lifecycle: discovery via search, exact provision retrieval, and citation verification. Minor gaps exist (e.g., no direct lookup by citation alone or browsing collections), but agents can reasonably work around them through search.
Available Tools
3 toolslegal_get_sectionRead a section of South African lawARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Full text of one document section from the GetLawED library — use it to read and quote the exact provision found by legal_library_search (give the doc_id and the section reference it returned). For judgments, returns the judgment text (or the part matching "section", e.g. a paragraph number or phrase), capped at 12 000 characters.
Inputs: doc_id (required), section.
legal_library_searchSearch South African lawARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Search GetLawED's library of official South African legal texts (Constitutional Court, SCA, High Court, Labour, Land, Tax and tribunal judgments; Acts; regulations, rules and codes issued under them; municipal by-laws and land use schemes; Bills; Government Gazettes). Returns matching documents with the best-matching section reference where the text is split into sections, a short passage and the official source link. Absence from the library does not mean an authority does not exist.
Inputs: query (required), limit, doc_type.
legal_verify_citationsCheck South African citationsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Check the South African case citations and Acts in a piece of text against GetLawED's library of official copies and verified records. Each item comes back as found, found_by_citation (a bare citation with no party names that resolves to a judgment we hold — parties were not compared, so confirm the name in the returned title), mismatch (the citation belongs to a different case), name_only, not_found, repealed or unchecked. "not_found"/"unchecked" means "check the law reports", not "fake".
Inputs: text (required).
