• case_law_search

  UK Legal Research

  USE THIS TOOL WHEN searching UK case law by party names, court, judge, date, or free-text query. Returns paginated judgment summaries: neutral citation, court, dates, slug, stable TNA URI. AFTER calling: pass slug into judgment_get_header / judgment_get_index / judgment_get_paragraph (or the judgment:// resource family) for content; pass the neutral citation into citations_resolve to verify before constructing an OSCOLA citation; use case_law_grep_judgment to find text within a single judgment. When a party name returns several candidates, narrow with court + year filters before grep-iterating across full judgments — targeted filtering beats scanning every candidate. Coverage: TNA Find Case Law indexes UK judgments from roughly the early 2000s onwards. For older authorities, search for a modern judgment that quotes them and read that paragraph. Authoritative source for UK case law. Web search returns out-of-date or unstable URLs — do not supplement.

• search_opinions

  Court Listener

  Search US court opinions from CourtListener — 8.3 million of them, with no API key and no rate limit. Covers the UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT (SCOTUS), the federal circuit courts of appeals, the federal district courts, and the state courts (71% of the corpus is state case law). THE tool for what a US court HELD, decided or ruled in a NAMED CASE — "What did the Supreme Court hold in Air France v. Saks?", "Miranda v. Arizona", "the Ninth Circuit ruling in ..." — including the treaty and statutory questions such cases turn on (Warsaw Convention, ERISA, the Fourth Amendment). Matches the case name, the judge, and (where CourtListener recorded one) a nature-of-suit/disposition category, so it is strongest on party names, judges, and case categories ("workers compensation", "habeas", "immigration") and weaker on a legal DOCTRINE that would not appear in those fields (e.g. "qualified immunity") — use find_case when you know the party, and expect this to sometimes miss on doctrine-only phrasing. Filter by jurisdiction (state vs federal, inferred from the citation reporter) and by date_filed (the real ruling date). A specific court code (e.g. "scotus", "ca9") or a filing after the covered window falls back to a live, token-less CourtListener search automatically. Every result carries snapshot_date and opinion_ids to read with get_opinion.

• verify_identity

  Stipple — Document Verification & Extraction

  Run an Australian identity check over a SET of identity documents. A vision model reads each document (which ID it is, which fields it shows — name/photo/address/signature — and its issue date); a deterministic engine then tallies them against a scheme and reports whether identity is established, and exactly what's still missing if not. USE THIS WHEN someone needs to verify a person's identity from their documents — KYC / onboarding / "do these documents satisfy the 100-point check?" Pass ALL the person's documents together (a passport alone is 70 points; the check needs >= 100). `documents` is a list, each item ONE of: {"url": "https://..."} (public link, fetched server-side) or {"bytes_b64": "...", "filename": "passport.pdf"} (inline). Up to 10. `scheme`: "afp_100_point" (points, default) or "austrac_safe_harbour" (category combinations). Returns `{established, points/target or satisfied_path, documents[] (per-document: type, fields shown, whether it counted and why-not), reason, accepts, ...}`. This is identity COVERAGE, not a forgery judgment — run verify_document for authenticity. Documents are never stored. Costs 2 credit(s) per call.

• check_pack

  Stipple — Document Verification & Extraction

  Check whether a SET of documents satisfies a checklist — completeness, cheaply. USE THIS WHEN you have an application / onboarding pack and need "do we have the required documents, and what's still missing?" Each document is CLASSIFIED (one cheap page-1 read — never full field extraction or multi-page), then matched against the checklist's required slots. (For "is a document genuine?" use verify_document; to identify ONE document use extract_fields with options={"classify": true}; for the identity gate use verify_identity.) Define the checklist ONE of two ways: - `scheme`: a named preset — "income_proof", "lending_prequal", "rental_application". - `requirements`: an ad-hoc checklist — a list of document-type names like ["payslip","bank_statement"], or objects {"key":..., "accepts":[types], "optional":bool}. `documents` is a list (up to 12), each ONE of: {"url": "https://..."} (public link, fetched server-side) or {"bytes_b64": "...", "filename": "statement.pdf"} (inline). Returns `{complete, slots[] (key, satisfied, matched), missing[], documents[] (filename, classified_type), unmatched_documents[]}`. COVERAGE, not approval — that the right document TYPES are present, NOT that any is genuine (run verify_document) or that an application is approved. Documents are never stored. Costs 3 credit(s) per call.

• ris_search_legislation

  ris-austria-mcp-server

  Search Austrian consolidated law and English translations: federal law (scope: federal, the default), one Bundesland (scope: burgenland … wien), municipal law (municipality plus a state scope — selected norms in 6 Bundesländer), or English translations of selected federal laws (language: english, federal only, ~138 documents). One document is one § / Artikel / Anlage; fetch a whole law by filtering law_id. Searches apply the version in force today in Austria by default — set in_force_as_of for another date, include_all_versions: true for full version history, or an entered_force / left_force window for new-law and repeal tracking; the three version filters are mutually exclusive, and the applied date is echoed back in the result. query is full text (boolean UND/ODER/NICHT or AND/OR/NOT, trailing-only * wildcard); title matches title, short title, and abbreviation ("DSG"). For a specific citation like "§ 6 DSG", ris_lookup_citation resolves it deterministically instead. Consolidated text is informational, not legally binding — the authentic gazette artifact lives in ris_search_gazette.

• get_provision

  Ansvar: EU Compliance & Legal Intelligence

  Look up the exact text of a specific legal provision or standards-catalog control. Three addressing forms: (1) jurisdiction + law + article — use this when someone asks 'show me Article 5 of GDPR', 'what does Section 12 of the Swedish Work Environment Act say', or 'read me the text of DORA Article 11'; (2) canonical_ref — the exact ref a `search` row's `citation.lookup` hint advertises (e.g. get_provision(canonical_ref='loi-2018-07-30:art-64', jurisdiction='BE')): the gateway decomposes it and resolves the same way. Pass jurisdiction alongside canonical_ref when the ref does not embed one (relayed hints already include it). (3) law as a bare corpus/source id + article as the native control/entity id, NO jurisdiction — for non-jurisdictional standards catalogs (e.g. get_provision(law='nist-800-53', article='AC-5') for NIST SP 800-53, and the same shape for nist-csf-2, nist-800-82r3, nist-ai-rmf, nist-ssdf-800-218): a `search` row's `citation.lookup` hint for these corpora already advertises this exact shape — replay it verbatim. Returns the full provision text with citation metadata. A member-state jurisdiction plus an EU framework article that has a verified national transposition returns the NATIONAL transposing provision, with `meta.transposition` naming the swap; pass jurisdiction='EU' for the framework text itself. Where no such mapping applies, the same field may instead carry a typed disclosure describing Ansvar's verified coverage for that pair. When a national transposition IS served, the CELEX and instrument name that response reports are themselves valid `law` input in that jurisdiction — replay either. When a law name matches several documents, each `meta.ambiguous_candidates` item is an executable `get_provision` retry: `retry_args` contains `jurisdiction`, `law` (the chassis `doc_id`), and the original `article`, or `jurisdiction` plus `canonical_ref` when the resolver supplied one; `retry_kind` identifies which addressing form it uses. The response ends with a 'Sources used' section — a markdown table carrying the audit receipt for each returned row, or a labelled zero-result note — and meta.render_contract carries the versioned evidence-curation contract for reproducing source attributions when the answer is rendered. Search lookup hints may include source_id, the exact routed corpus that served the row. It is valid only with the hint's nonblank canonical_ref; law and article must remain empty. Replay the whole args object unchanged so a document present in multiple corpora cannot be substituted. Do not infer source_id from the legal document id.

• get_legal_documents

  Molt2Meet

  Get all active legal documents an agent must accept on registration. The list of required document types is configurable via the AgentTermsDocumentTypes application setting — typically includes Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, Agent Platform Terms, and Trust and Safety. Each document includes its type reference, name, version, effective date, and full markdown content. Call this before register_agent so you know what the agent is accepting when setting acceptedTerms=true. No authentication required.

• get_bill

  AI Law Tracker

  One curated landmark bill by slug: its core fields, tiered source URLs, citations (identifier + audited aka), and cross-links. Where a matching live record exists, the response binds the change-timeline link (use get_law_history). Served from the primary-sourced registry (no LLM); a missing binding simply omits the history link, never fabricates one. Use list_bills for valid slugs. Data by AI Law Tracker (CC BY 4.0).

• legal_search

  Lawbster

  Search legal documents across jurisdictions (DE federal, EU, Bavaria, North Rhine-Westphalia, Saxony) using hybrid semantic + keyword search. Returns ranked results with content snippets, not full text. Rephrase colloquial language into legal terminology for best results. Formuliere Suchanfragen als natürliche Sätze, nicht als Keyword-Listen (z.B. 'Wann verjährt ein Schadensersatzanspruch?' statt 'Verjährung Schadensersatz Frist BGB'). Das System durchsucht Gesetzestexte — verwende die Sprache des Gesetzes, nicht Doktrin-Begriffe (z.B. 'Auslegung mehrdeutiger Klauseln' statt 'contra proferentem'). Set document_kind to match what the question needs: any norm subtype ('statute'/'regulation'/'directive') when it asks for the rule itself — its requirements, definitions or deadlines; 'decision' when it asks how courts apply a rule. The three norm subtypes form ONE filter class — any of them admits all three, so you need not tell statute from regulation from directive, and a reflexive 'statute' never hides an EU regulation/directive. The only real cut this filter makes is norm vs. case-law: 'decision' restricts to court decisions and drops every norm BEFORE ranking, so it can hide the statute that answers a rule question. Leave document_kind empty when the question genuinely needs both (norm + its case-law application), or when German-vs-EU law is unclear (e.g. data protection: BDSG vs DSGVO) — then consider running two searches with different filters instead of guessing. Never combine a statute law_abbreviation with a decision scope ('decision', a decision source_type, court or decision_type): decisions carry file-number identifiers, not statute abbreviations, so that intersection is always empty — use cited_norm instead to find decisions applying a law. See legal://filter_values for the per-value definitions and the disambiguation list. Set law_abbreviation, jurisdiction and source_type only when the user explicitly names a specific law or jurisdiction. When results span multiple laws or versions, check the legal://rechtsrahmen resource to pick the correct jurisdiction (e.g. EU vs national, substantive vs procedural). COMMON PITFALLS — choose the correct law: - Procedural law by jurisdiction: ZPO (zivilrecht), STPO (strafrecht), VWGO (verwaltungsrecht), ARBGG (arbeitsrecht), SGG (sozialrecht), BVERFGG (verfassungsrecht), FAMFG (familienrecht) - AO, ESTG, KSTG, USTG, FGO: AO=procedure, EStG/KStG/UStG=substantive - VVG, BGB: Insurance rescission → BGB §§ 812ff, not VVG - VERSAUSGLG, FAMFG: VersAusglG=substantive, FamFG=procedure - APOG, AMG: ApoG=operation, AMG=drug approval - WEHRPFLG, SG: WPflG=conscription, SG=soldiers - AGG, BETRVG: AGG=anti-discrimination, BetrVG=works council

• legal_list_laws

  Lawbster

  List available laws, regulations, and court decisions in the database. Returns abbreviation, title, source type, jurisdiction, document kind, and version date for each entry. Unfiltered listings can contain thousands of entries; pass a search term or source_type to keep responses focused. Useful for discovering valid law abbreviations to use as filters in legal_search. Found a relevant law? Use legal_get_toc to browse its structure. NOT an existence check for a specific law: EUR-Lex entries store the official long title, so searching by common name or number can miss laws that ARE in the corpus. To verify a law exists, use legal_lookup with a citation or legal_search with a topic instead.

• list_coverage

  Ansvar: EU Compliance & Legal Intelligence

  Show which countries, frameworks, and legal domains are available. Use this BEFORE calling `search` when the user's topic doesn't name a jurisdiction (e.g., 'what does the law say about consumer protection'); then present the returned jurisdictions to the user or ask which applies. Examples: • 'Which countries do you cover?' → list_coverage() • 'Do you have German law?' → list_coverage(jurisdiction='DE') • 'What jurisdictions for NIS2?' → list_coverage(domain='cybersecurity') • 'Which countries have drone law?' → list_coverage(domain='aviation') (also accepts 'drone' / 'uas') Returns a `jurisdictions` array (each with `code`, `name`, `region`, `laws`, `provisions`, `domains`, `counts_complete`, and `uncounted_sources`) plus framework and source listings. An incomplete-count row also carries `coverage_note` explaining why. NOTE: `laws`/`provisions` are WHOLE-JURISDICTION corpus totals — the response's `count_scope` is `whole_jurisdiction`. Under a `domain` filter the jurisdiction list is narrowed to that domain but the counts are NOT domain-scoped; do not report them as a per-domain count. The domain-specific signal is the (domain-filtered) `sources`/`frameworks`.

• get_legislation_text

  Legislation Uk

  Read the text of a whole UK Act or statutory instrument — the body of the law rather than a catalogue entry. Use for short instruments and for reading an Act end to end; for one provision prefer get_legislation_section, which returns just that section. Large Acts run to megabytes, so this reads a bounded amount and says plainly when it stopped short rather than returning a silently clipped statute. UK law exists in VERSIONS that differ in substance: pass version to choose "current" (default — the law as amended and in force today), "enacted" (the original text as passed), or a date YYYY-MM-DD for the text as it stood on that day. Every response states which version it served. Source: legislation.gov.uk, the official database.

• search_legal_authority

  VeteranHQ

  Use this when a question calls for the text of a VA rating regulation or for case law, searched by keyword or diagnostic code. Returns 38 CFR rating criteria for matching conditions, excerpts from Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims decisions with docket number, case name and relevance score, and the statutory standards for benefit of the doubt, duty to assist, and reasons and bases. CAVC decisions are binding precedent for the Board of Veterans' Appeals. The limit parameter caps results per source, default 5 and maximum 10. Docket numbers and case names come only from the returned results, and when the case-law corpus is empty the response says so and returns regulatory results alone. It does not read an individual claim and it is not legal advice.

• check_website

  lexvibe

  Free legal-compliance check of a public website (no signup). Fetches the URL server-side and detects data processing relevant to compliance — analytics, marketing pixels, payments, generative AI, email collection, third-party sharing — then returns the legal documents and cookie-consent setup the site needs, whether the EU AI Act applies, and suggestedAnswers you can pass straight to generate_policies. Result contract: `fetched` is true only when the page HTML was actually read; when false, `fetchError` says why ("unreachable": the URL could not be resolved or connected; "blocked": the server answered with an error status) and the detected signals are NOT meaningful — report the check as inconclusive, not as clean. Run it again after adding any SDK, analytics, payment, auth or AI integration: when an appId is passed (or read from the installed LexVibe snippet) the result ALWAYS includes a `drift` key — status "in_sync", "outdated" (listing processing the hosted legal documents don't cover yet) or "unavailable" with a bounded `reason` (no-database, app-not-found, no-baseline, domain-mismatch, page-not-fetched) when the comparison could not be made; treat "unavailable" as unknown, never as in sync. Read-only.

• lookup_compiled_rule

  lr-labs

  Answer a RULE-LEVEL question directly from compiled law: thresholds and day counts, WITHHOLDING TAX rates on royalty and fees for technical services (treaty and domestic), the 1961→2025 Income-tax Act section renumbering (s.195→s.393(2), s.115A→s.207, s.90→s.159, s.206AA→s.397(2)), tests and their elements, what a named case held. Ask in plain language — 'what is the India–US royalty WHT rate' (15%, not the widely-repeated 10%), 'what replaced section 195', 'is software payment royalty after Engineering Analysis', 'is a TRC sufficient after Tiger Global', 'what does make available mean'. Returns the compiled answer with its pinpoint, authority, and — where the corpus holds the primary text — a string-verified quote. Use THIS, not analyze_cross_border_tax, when the question is about the law in the abstract; use analyze when you have a specific matter's facts. Outside compiled topics it refuses and lists what can be asked.
