get_docket_entries_tool
Docket entries for a case, ordered by itemNumber ascending. Each entry includes the full PACER itemText (never sliced) and docket_id — call get_document_tool with that docket_id (no accept_charge) for an inline cost preview, then again with accept_charge: true to download the PDF. Pass simple_name (preferred, see list_monitored_cases_tool) or short_case_number / case_number (e.g. 26-42901; use court_state to disambiguate). Optional docket_id, item_number, or item_from/item_to to fetch specific entries. Single Case plan: monitored cases only. limit max 50 (default 25); pass skip (or offset, or 1-based page) to walk past the first block. A page may contain fewer than limit entries so every caption stays complete for MCP clients. Response includes total, skip, limit, returned, and has_more. Optional live_update refreshes from court sources first. Subscribers only.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': [], 'properties': {'page': {'type': 'integer', 'description': '1-based page number; equivalent to skip=(page-1)*limit.

get_document_cost_tool
Preview the cost to download a court filing PDF. Identify the entry with docket_id (preferred) or simple_name + item_number (legacy connectors). Does not pull the document and does not charge. Same preview as get_document_tool when accept_charge/download is omitted. Confirm the cost with the user before download. Cost is $0 if already purchased, or if the PDF is already in our library and the plan has flagFreeLibrary. Free-page allowances (if any) come from plan limitDocuments and apply to billable pulls. Returns page_count, chargeable_pages, cost, plan_limit_documents, pages_used_this_period, free_pages_remaining, document_in_library, and already_owned.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': [], 'properties': {'download': {'type': 'boolean', 'description': 'Optional legacy alias for accept_charge:true (some connectors cannot pass accept_charge).'}, 'docket_id': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Preferred: docket entry id (40-character hex hash) from get_docket_entries_tool or get_recent_developments_tool.'}, 'item_number': {'type': 'integer', 'description': 'Legacy/alternate: docket item number (e.g. 1 for the petition). Use with simple_name.'}, 'simple_name': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Legacy/alternate: case simpleName (e.g. 1251-pacific-st). Use with item_number when docket_id is unavailable.'}, 'accept_charge': {'type': 'boolean', 'description': 'Optional. Omit or false for cost preview only. true after the user explicitly approves the previewed cost.'}}}
get_document_tool
Court filing PDF. Identify the entry with docket_id (preferred) OR simple_name + item_number (legacy cached connectors). Step 1: cost preview — omit accept_charge/download or set false. Step 2: after user confirms, call with accept_charge:true or download:true to purchase and download (signed URL). Returns docket_id in the preview so follow-up calls can use the hash. Pulls from PACER when needed.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': [], 'properties': {'download': {'type': 'boolean', 'description': 'Optional legacy alias for accept_charge:true (some connectors cannot pass accept_charge).'}, 'docket_id': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Preferred: docket entry id (40-character hex hash) from get_docket_entries_tool or get_recent_developments_tool.'}, 'item_number': {'type': 'integer', 'description': 'Legacy/alternate: docket item number (e.g. 1 for the petition). Use with simple_name.'}, 'simple_name': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Legacy/alternate: case simpleName (e.g. 1251-pacific-st).

Newest first, with item numbers, dates, full itemText (never sliced), and counts. A page may contain fewer than limit entries so every caption stays complete. Subscribers only.
Input schema
{'type': 'object', 'required': [], 'properties': {'limit': {'type': 'integer', 'description': 'Max entries (default 100, max 250).'}, 'since_date': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'YYYY-MM-DD; default 7 days ago.'}, 'simple_name': {'type': 'string', 'description': 'Optional case simpleName; omit for all monitored cases.'}}}
list_monitored_cases_tool
