check_filing_against_judge_rules
ChatGPTUse this when the user has a draft court filing and wants to compare it with a judge's filing rules before filing it. The tool checks page and word limits, format, required sections, and privacy redactions, and it reports whether courtesy copies and a pre-motion conference are required. It supports only judges in courts with the following district_id values: edny. Get the judge_slug from search_judges. Read the draft yourself and pass what you measured. The required inputs are judge_slug, district_id, document_scope, is_pro_se, pmc_completed, opposing_party_pro_se, filing_role, and document, and inside document only page_count and word_count are required. Count body pages only, and leave out the cover, tables of contents and authorities, signature page, and certificates. The optional blocks of document are caption, signature_block, sections, format, and privacy, and each block must be filled in completely or left out entirely. Pass a block only when you can fill every field in it, because a guessed value can produce a wrong PASS or FAIL. When you leave a block out, the tool skips its checks and lists them in warnings. For a filing that isn't part of a motion, omit motion_type, set filing_role to "movant", and set pmc_completed to false. Each result names the rule it comes from in source, and each PASS or FAIL covers only the facts you passed. To read a judge's rules without a draft, use get_judge_rules.
get_judge_rules
ChatGPTUse this when the user wants the complete set of rules extracted from one judge's standing orders and individual practices documents, and you have the judge's district_id and judge_slug (from list_courts and search_judges). It returns every extracted rule for that judge, and each rule includes its quoted source text and source URL. For a specific topic, including one judge's page limits or courtesy copies, use search_filing_rules. To show the rules to the user in a panel, use open_judge_rules_panel.
get_privacy_enforcement_action
ChatGPTUse this when you have an enforcement action's ID or slug (from search_privacy_enforcement_actions) and you need its full record, which includes the laws cited, statute sections, remedies, other enforcers, source quotes, and document URLs. It returns one action. To find actions, use search_privacy_enforcement_actions.
get_privacy_enforcement_stats
ChatGPTUse this when the user asks for counts of recorded privacy enforcement actions, or for total recorded fines, grouped by jurisdiction, violation type, risk level, or month. It returns one row per group with the number of actions and the total fines, within an optional date range, and it also returns the number of distinct actions. A settlement that several states reported counts once in total fines. To list matching actions, or to count the matches for a set of filters, use search_privacy_enforcement_actions. To read the full record of one action, use get_privacy_enforcement_action.
list_court_holidays
ChatGPTUse this when the user asks whether a court is closed on a date, or when the user wants a court's holiday and closure dates. It returns each recorded holiday's date and name, with the URL of the court page that lists it and the date the page was last checked. A date with no record isn't confirmed open. Pass district_id (from list_courts) to answer for one court, and narrow the results with year, or with date_from and date_to. The tool doesn't calculate filing deadlines.
list_courts
ChatGPTUse this when you need a court's district_id, or when you want to know which courts are covered. It returns each court's name, its district_id, and the number of judges who currently sit there. There are many courts, so pass query with part of a court name or ID (for example "alaska", "edny", or "superior") to find one court. Results come in pages, so call the tool again with offset set to the previous next_offset. The last page has a null next_offset. To find judges, use search_judges, and to find rules, use search_filing_rules.
open_judge_rules_panel
ChatGPTUse this when the user asks to see or browse a judge's filing rules and the client can show a panel. It opens a panel that lists the judge's rules by type, and each rule appears with its quoted source text and a link to the source document. Pass both the district_id and the judge_slug returned by search_judges, or pass neither to open the panel on a judge search. The result names the judge and doesn't include rule text, so use get_judge_rules when you need to read or quote the rules yourself.
search_filing_rules
ChatGPTUse this when the user asks about a specific topic in the filing rules of a court or of a judge, such as electronic filing, service and proof of service, filing timing, fees, courtesy copies, page limits, or rejection and cure windows. It also finds a court's own rules when you set judge_slug to "court", and it covers both state and federal courts. It returns structured rule summaries, and each summary includes the quoted source text, the citation, and the source URL. Narrow the search with district_id, judge_slug, logic_type, workflow_phase, case_type, or words in q. A field that a rule leaves out isn't stated in the source quote, so don't infer a default or a negative value. To read the complete set of rules for one known judge, use get_judge_rules.
search_judges
ChatGPTUse this when you need a judge's judge_slug for another tool, or when the user asks which judges sit in a court. It returns each judge's name, judge_slug, type, district_id, and status. Filter by district_id and by part of the judge's name, and use judge_type to narrow the list further. The search leaves out judges who no longer appear on a court's published list of judges, unless include_inactive is true. For a large court, pass district_id (from list_courts) so the list of matches stays short. To read a judge's rules, use get_judge_rules.
search_privacy_enforcement_actions
ChatGPTUse this when the user asks about privacy or consumer data protection enforcement by the FTC, a state attorney general, or another regulator, such as who was fined, for what, and when. It returns the matching actions with the most recent first, and each action includes its date, jurisdiction, entity, fine amount, violation types, risk level, summary, and source links. The response also gives the total number of matches. Filter by jurisdiction, date_from and date_to, industry, violation_type, entity_name, or risk_level. For the laws cited, remedies, and source quotes of one action, use get_privacy_enforcement_action, and for counts and total fines grouped by a field, use get_privacy_enforcement_stats. The tool doesn't cover court filing rules, judges, or court holidays.
