eu_sanctions__search | Search the EU consolidated financial sanctions list (persons and enterprises) by name or alias. Returns matching listed parties with their aliases, listing regulation, and identifying details, plus a `stale` flag when the underlying snapshot is older than the freshness window. |
ua_law__search | Search Ukrainian legislation by free text and/or metadata filters. One entry per matching document, carrying the `nreg` `get_document_toc` takes. Never text. `in_force_on_date` keeps only acts the portal's own commencement and repeal events put in force that day, dropping any act with no such even |
ua_law__search_units | Find provisions by their text: which articles, points or clauses say X. Every word of `text` must appear (quote it for an exact phrase). Searches the text as published on `on_date` (default today); `nreg` limits it to acts. Each hit is the smallest unit holding it, with that day's `urn`. ⟦ ⟧ in `ex |
ua_law__get_document | One act's card, by registration number. No text: use `get_document_toc` then `get_unit_fulltext`. `urn_current_edition` is null unless an edition is in force today -- a repealed act has none; `urn_latest_edition` is the newest text in effect today whatever the status; `urn_next_edition`, text sched |
ua_law__get_unit | Metadata for one structural unit, addressed by its URN. `urn` is 'urn:ua:law:{nreg}:{path}@{YYYYMMDD}'. Drop '@{YYYYMMDD}' for today's edition; drop the path too for the whole document. Take one from a filtered `get_document_toc` rather than building it. A URN resolving to no unit answers 'not_fou |
ua_law__get_unit_in_force | Whether one unit was legally in force on a given date. `in_force` is true, false, or null when the corpus cannot tell. `outcome` 'deterministic' is from the portal's own events or edition history, anything else from AI review of the text. An undated URN asks about the provision; a dated one about |
ua_law__get_unit_fulltext | Unit text, paged. Past `max_chars` it is `truncated`: pass `next_cursor` as `cursor` for more. Pages end after a paragraph, else after a space, else mid-word (a tiny `max_chars`). Only page 1 lists `parts`, sub-units with their own `urn`, unless `parts_offset` is passed. `text: null` with status ' |
ua_law__get_units_fulltext | Several units' text in one call: a norm and what it relies on. `units` answers each URN in order as `get_unit_fulltext` would, sharing one `max_chars`: a unit that does not fit is `truncated` with a `next_cursor`, and units past the budget come back with no text. A URN matching nothing is its own ' |
ua_law__get_unit_editions | The editions on which one unit's text changed, and what changed it. Each entry is a version: its dated `urn`, how many editions kept it, and `amended_by`, the acts behind the change ('unit_notes': cited by the unit's notes; 'edition_basis': the edition's basis). `removed`: the unit disappears; `mov |
ua_law__get_document_toc | One document's units in reading order -- and the article resolver: `kind='article'` with `number='626'` returns that article alone, `urn` included. Structure only. Each entry carries the `urn` `get_unit_fulltext` takes and a `heading`, or for a clause its opening paragraph as `lead_text` with `text |
ua_edrsr__search | Faceted full-text search over Ukrainian court decisions (ЄДРСР). Decision text comes from `get_document`. `doc_type_name` tells a procedural ruling (Ухвала) from a merits judgment without fetching it. `q` is lemmatized inside the index; do not stem it first. Integer filters OR within, AND across. |
ua_edrsr__get_document | One decision: its text, its citations, its structural parts. Text is windowed, never dumped whole. `text_window` says what came back and how to get the rest. Citations cover that window only, with `*_outside_window` counting the rest; repeats of one case roll up into `occurrences`. Citations carry |
ua_edrsr__get_court_practice | Court practice on one statute article: which cases cite it, by court and year, ranked highest authority first. Spellings of one code answer alike ('ККУ', 'КК України') and mean the code in force; `repealed_excluded` lists repealed namesakes' nregs. `index_coverage.status` says what `total_cases` m |
ua_edrsr__lookup_case | One case by document id or case number, with the cases related to it. Give exactly one of `doc_id` or `cause_num`. Highest instance first, judgments before rulings, newest first. `related_cases` is citation-graph overlap, never semantic similarity or a judgement on merits, and may repeat a decisio |
ua_bankruptcy__search | Ukrainian bankruptcy and insolvency announcements (ДСА registry). One result is one published announcement, not one case. A case accumulates announcements as it proceeds and long-running cases have hundreds, so use `get_case` for one case's history and current stage. Company names are stored in fu |
ua_bankruptcy__get_case | One bankruptcy case's announcement history and current procedural stage, newest first. `current_stage` is the most recent announcement's type. The registry publishes no case-level status record, so the latest publication is the only statement of where the case stands, and `debtor_code`, `debtor_nam |
ua_cpi_inflation__lookup | One consumer price index figure by period. `base_period` defaults to the month-on-month series, which is what Article 625(2) of the Civil Code is computed from. This is Derzhstat's consumer price index, not a producer price index and not the NBU's mixed series. A period the mirror does not hold re |
ua_debtors__search | Ukraine's Unified Register of Debtors (Єдиний реєстр боржників, ЄРБ): persons with an open, unsatisfied enforcement proceeding. An entry is dropped at the first daily sync after its proceeding closes, so "not listed" means nothing was open as of `as_of`, never that nothing ever was. The register pu |
ua_debtors__lookup | Every debtor listed under one enforcement-proceeding number. Always a list: one proceeding can be enforced against several debtors, so a number legitimately has several answers. |
ua_edr_companies__search | Ukrainian legal entities in the open ЄДР extract (Єдиний державний реєстр юридичних осіб). Legal entities only; ФОП are `search_fop`. The open extract publishes neither the registered address (місцезнаходження) nor КВЕД activity codes. Both were withdrawn upstream for security reasons, so they are |
ua_edr_companies__lookup | One legal entity by ЄДРПОУ code or `record`, with its people. `people`: founders, beneficial owners, signers and board members; the head is the latest appointment. `company` adds termination, bankruptcy, succession, branches and tax registration. `history`: changes per weekly release since trackin |
ua_edr_companies__search_fop | ФОП (фізичні особи-підприємці) in the open ЄДР extract, by name (ПІБ), status and registration/termination date. Ordered by the filtered date, else `record`. No РНОКПП, address or КВЕД upstream: namesakes cannot be told apart, so a name hit alone does not identify a person. |
ua_edr_companies__lookup_fop | One ФОП by `record`: termination entry and reason, annulled termination, farm-household flag, property manager, tax/ЄСВ registration. |
ua_enforcement_proceedings__search | АСВП, Ukraine's register of enforcement proceedings (виконавчі провадження). Wider than ЄРБ (`ua_debtors`): it keeps closed ('Завершено') and refused ('Відмовлено у відкритті') proceedings too. The shared key is `vp_num`. `debtor_code` is published for legal entities only, about 9% of rows. The so |
ua_enforcement_proceedings__lookup | Every row published under one enforcement-proceeding number. Always a list: a proceeding with several debtors is published as one row per debtor. `matches` is capped at 200. |
ofac_sanctions__search | Search the US Treasury OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list (individuals, entities, vessels, and aircraft) by name or alias. Returns matching listed parties with their aliases, sanctions programs, and identifying details, plus `stale`/`available` flags describing how current the underlying |
un_sanctions__search | Search the UN Security Council Consolidated Sanctions List (individuals and entities) by name or alias. Returns matching listed records with their aliases, listing regime (`un_list_type`), and identifying details, plus a `stale` flag when the underlying snapshot is older than the freshness window an |
uk_sanctions__search | Search the UK Sanctions List (HM Treasury / FCDO consolidated financial sanctions designations) by name or alias. Returns matching designated parties with their aliases, regime, date of birth and nationality (for individuals), and the sanctions measures imposed. A `stale` flag is set when the underl |
ua_echr__search | Search ECHR (European Court of Human Rights) case law via HUDOC, scoped to cases against Ukraine: judgments, decisions and communicated cases with application number(s), engaged articles, importance level, conclusion and a HUDOC permalink, including Ukrainian translations where HUDOC holds one. A li |
ua_echr__get_case | One HUDOC document by `itemid`, adding cited Strasbourg case law, domestic law at issue, judges. |
ua_corruption_registry__search | Ukraine's register of persons who committed corruption or corruption-related offences (НАЗК). An entry records one offender, the offence, the article they were held liable under, the sanction, and the court decision or disciplinary decree that imposed it. Most entries are natural persons sanctioned |
ua_nbu_rate__rate | Look up the National Bank of Ukraine's official exchange rate (UAH per unit) for a currency, as of a given date or today if none is given. Supports historical dates for ЦК §533 п.2-style currency-conversion calculations, not only the current rate. Returns `available: false` with a null rate, rather |
ua_court_hearings__search | Hearings scheduled in Ukrainian courts (Список справ, призначених до розгляду), every court, read daily from court.gov.ua (a court listing on its own portal instead: source=courtportal). The source lists today onward; past hearings stay here as last listed. Needs case_number, court_code or q. |
ua_vs_digest__search | The Supreme Court's analytical publications: дайджести, огляди and узагальнення судової практики, plus the наукові висновки НКР при ВС. Not in ЄДРСР, which has the judgments but no positions by dispute category. `document` returns the text, link and case numbers. `court_body` `vs` is a cross-cutti |
ua_vs_digest__document | One Supreme Court publication's extracted text, `document_url`, cited case numbers and linked ЄДРСР `edrsr_ids` -- only this tool returns them. These are analytical reports, not judgments, averaging ~128,000 characters, so a window from the start is usually cover page and contents. Pass `text_query |
ua_holidays__check_date | Whether one date is a public holiday or non-working day in Ukraine. `is_holiday` is true, false, or **null** -- null when `covered` is false, i.e. the mirror has not computed that year. Null is not "no": a deadline calculation must be able to tell "this is a working day" from "this source cannot sa |
ua_lpd__search | The Supreme Court's legal positions (правові позиції). A position is an analyst's short statement of what the Court held, not a quotation, filed under a classifier and linked to its source decisions. ЄДРСР has the judgments, not which passage is the holding. Hits omit the text unless `full_text`; |
ua_lpd__position | One legal position, with its text and published markup. Pass a search hit's `position_id`. `text` is plain, `text_html` as published. `norm_refs` dates each statute quoted to the `ua_law` edition then in force, with a `urn` `ua_law__get_unit_fulltext` takes, to compare with today's text. `departs |
ua_legal_indicators__get | Value of a legal indicator in force on a date, with the act and article that set it. nbu_discount_rate: NBU облікова ставка, % p.a., since 1992. pm_general, pm_child_under_6, pm_child_6_18, pm_able_bodied, pm_disabled: прожитковий мінімум, from 2005. min_wage_monthly (from 2009-11), min_wage_hourly |
ua_legal_indicators__court_fee | Судовий збір for a claim, or an appeal/cassation against the judgment, in a civil, commercial or administrative court (ст. 4 Закону № 3674-VI). Base: able-bodied прожитковий мінімум on 1 January of the filing year (minimum wage 2011-2016). Returns amount, formula and provisions. Rates are the law's |
catalog__search | Find tools left out of this list (the catalog) by topic. Each hit is a tool name and its first sentence; an empty result means no catalog tool mentions those words. |
catalog__describe | A catalog tool's full description and input schema, as tools/list would publish it. |
catalog__call | Run a catalog tool with its arguments. It is validated, limited, billed and answered exactly as a listed tool would be. |
