Get docket entries for a bankruptcy case. Use this when you have a case number.
Steps:
1. Call with the short case number (e.g. 26-00712, 22-12345).
2. Different courts can use the same case number. If the number exists in more than one court,
provide court_state (2-letter state abbreviation, e.g. PR for Puerto Rico, TX for Texas)
or court_id. If you get no results or the wrong case, ask the user for the state and pass court_state.
3. The tool resolves the case number (and optional court_state or court_id) to the case, then returns
docket entries plus dates so you can say how recent the information is.
Returns: JSON with entries (array of itemNumber, itemText, itemDate, …), latestEntryDate, dateDocketUpdated.
Response includes:
- entries: list of docket items (itemNumber, itemText, itemDate, etc.).
- latestEntryDate: date of the most recent docket entry in our data.
- dateDocketUpdated: from the case table; when this case's docket was last synced to the database.
Use this to answer "how recent is this docket information?"
live_update: if True (subscribers: no extra charge), run a one-time refresh from source before returning (slower; may not be enabled). This does not create ongoing monitoring.
