Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| arxiv:searchA | Search arXiv preprints by keywords, author, or category. Returns metadata: arXiv ID, title, authors, abstract, categories, PDF/HTML links. Use arxiv:get with the arXiv ID to retrieve full text. |
| arxiv:getA | Retrieve an arXiv paper by ID (e.g., "2501.02725"). Default: metadata + abstract. With |
| dip:searchA | Search Bundestagsdrucksachen (parliamentary documents) via DIP API. Matches against document title — not full text. Returns metadata: Dokumentnummer, title, type, date, PDF URL. Use dip:get to retrieve full text (e.g., Gesetzesbegründung) of a specific Drucksache. |
| dip:getA | Retrieve full text of a Bundestagsdrucksache by Dokumentnummer (e.g., "19/27426" for BT-Drs. 19/27426). Returns the extracted text including Gesetzesbegründung. Use |
| dip:search_vorgangA | Search legislative processes (Vorgänge) in DIP. Returns Gesetzgebungsvorgänge with status and linked Drucksachen-Nummern. Useful for tracking a law through the legislative process or finding all related documents. |
| dip:search_plenarprotokollC | Search Plenarprotokolle (parliamentary debate transcripts) with full text search. Returns protocols where the search term appears in the debate text. |
| eul:searchA | Search EU legislation (directives, regulations, treaties) via EUR-Lex SPARQL endpoint. Returns CELEX numbers, titles, and dates. |
| eul:get_documentA | Retrieve EU legislation from EUR-Lex by CELEX number (e.g., "32016R0679" for GDPR, "32001L0029" for InfoSoc). Returns full text in Markdown. Use |
| icu:searchA | Search for decisions and opinions of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) via InfoCuria. Returns list with case numbers, ECLI, dates, and document IDs for retrieval. |
| icu:get_documentA | Retrieve a CJEU decision or opinion from InfoCuria by case number or CELEX number. Returns full text in Markdown with Randnummern as [Rn. 5]{.rn}. Use |
| legis:searchA | Search German state legislation (Landesrecht) by keyword. Returns results with IDs for retrieval via legis:get. Official abbreviations such as "HKG" or "PolG" are often more reliable than descriptive phrases. Covers all 16 Bundesländer. BUND does not support search — use legis:get directly. |
| legis:getA | Retrieve a specific law/norm from German federal or state legislation. BUND: id is "law/section" (e.g., "bgb/823", "gg/Art. 1", "stgb/§ 242"). Länder: id from legis:search results (format varies by state). |
| legis:tocA | Get table of contents for a law — compact list of section numbers and headings. Much lighter than legis:get for navigating large laws. BUND: id is just the law abbreviation (e.g., "bgb", "stgb"). Länder: id from legis:search results. |
| legis:statesA | List all 17 available German jurisdictions (BUND + 16 Bundesländer) with their backends. |
| rii:searchA | Search for court decisions. Default source "bund": federal courts (BVerfG, BGH, BVerwG, BFH, BAG, BSG, BPatG). Source "bayern": Bavarian state courts (AG, LG, OLG, VG, VGH, FG, ArbG, LAG, BayVerfGH). Returns list of decisions with metadata and doc IDs for retrieval. |
| rii:get_decisionA | Retrieve full text of a court decision by doc ID. Returns decision in Markdown format with metadata (court, date, file number, ECLI). Use source "BY" for IDs from gesetze-bayern.de (format: Y-300-Z-...). |
| ris:searchA | Search the Austrian Rechtsinformationssystem des Bundes (RIS, ris.bka.gv.at). application="bundesrecht"/"landesrecht" = consolidated federal/state law; application="judikatur" = case law — set |
| ris:getA | Retrieve a RIS document as Markdown. Pass the |
| ris:get_normA | Retrieve a single paragraph (§) of an Austrian consolidated law as Markdown — e.g. law="ABGB" paragraph="1295". application="bundesrecht" (federal) or "landesrecht" (state law; set |
| ris:tocA | Get the table of contents (Inhaltsverzeichnis) of an Austrian consolidated law — its §§ with headings — so you can then read one with ris:get_norm. Use the full title if an abbreviation fails (e.g. "Urheberrechtsgesetz" rather than "UrhG"). application="bundesrecht" (federal) or "landesrecht" (+ |
