## MCP tools (13)

### `ris_bundesrecht` (~672 tokens)

Bundesrecht durchsuchen

Search Austrian federal laws (Bundesrecht).

Use this tool to find Austrian federal legislation like ABGB, StGB, UGB, etc.

Search strategy: "titel" and "paragraph" are the precise entry points — prefer them
whenever the law or the section is known ("paragraph" is ignored for applikation="Erv",
the English translations). "suchworte" runs a broad full-text search
and the RIS API returns those hits ordered alphabetically by law title, not by
relevance, so a common term buries the relevant law under thousands of results.
Austrian law often splits one topic across several statutes, so look for a companion
law: warranty, for example, is covered both by the VGG (consumer sales, B2C, in force
since 2022) and by §§ 922 ff ABGB (general warranty law, including B2B).

Example queries:
  \- suchworte="Mietrecht" -> Find laws mentioning rent law
  \- titel="ABGB", paragraph="1295" -> Find specific ABGB section
  \- titel="B-VG", paragraph="7", abschnitt_typ="Artikel" -> Article-based laws
  \- titel="ABGB", fassung_vom="2015-01-01" -> Consolidated version as of a date
  \- applikation="Begut" -> Search draft legislation

Input parameters:

- `abschnitt_typ` (string): Type of section that "paragraph" refers to: "Paragraph" (default), "Artikel" (article-based laws like B-VG), or "Anlage" (annex). "Art 7 B-VG" requires "Artikel".
- `applikation` (string): Data source - "BrKons" (consolidated, default), "Begut" (drafts), "BgblAuth" (gazette), "Erv" (English translations)
- `fassung_vom` (string): Consolidated version as of this date (YYYY-MM-DD) — retrieves the law text as it stood on that day. Not supported for "Erv".
- `limit`: Results per page: 10, 20, 50 or 100 (default: 20). Every hit costs about 1k characters of structured payload, so prefer 20 for browsing and 50 for a broad survey; a page that would exceed the payload…
- `paragraph` (string): Section number to search for (e.g., "1295" for §1295, "7" for Art 7)
- `response_format` (string): "markdown" (default) or "json"
- `seite` (integer): Page number (default: 1)
- `suchworte` (string): Broad full-text search terms (e.g., "Mietrecht", "Schadenersatz"). Hits come back ordered alphabetically by law title, not by relevance — prefer "titel" and/or "paragraph" whenever the law or the sec…
- `titel` (string): Search in law titles (e.g., "ABGB", "Strafgesetzbuch")

Output parameters:

- `documents` (array): The documents on this page
- `has_more` (boolean): Whether further result pages are available
- `notice` (string): Present when the page was delivered at a smaller size than requested to fit the payload budget — page, page_size and query already describe the delivered page; page with query.limit
- `page` (number): Page number of this result set (1-based)
- `page_size` (number): Number of documents per page
- `query` (object): Echo of the validated search parameters alongside the tool name — re-issue the call with an incremented "seite" for the next page
- `total_hits` (number): Total number of documents in RIS matching the search

### `ris_landesrecht` (~613 tokens)

Landesrecht durchsuchen

Search Austrian state/provincial laws (Landesrecht).

Use this tool to find laws enacted by Austrian federal states (Bundeslaender).

Search strategy: "titel" and "paragraph" (together with "bundesland") are the precise
entry points — prefer them whenever the law or the section is known. "suchworte" runs a
broad full-text search and the RIS API returns those hits ordered alphabetically by law
title, not by relevance, so a common term buries the relevant law under thousands of
results. Austrian law often splits one topic across several statutes and across the
federal/state divide — when the topic turns out to be federal rather than state law
(warranty, for example, sits in the VGG and in §§ 922 ff ABGB), search it with
ris_bundesrecht instead.

Example queries:
  \- suchworte="Bauordnung", bundesland="Salzburg" -> Find state building law
  \- titel="Bauordnung", bundesland="Wien", paragraph="1" -> Specific section
  \- suchworte="Naturschutz", bundesland="Tirol", fassung_vom="2020-01-01" -> Version as of a date

Input parameters:

- `abschnitt_typ` (string): Type of section that "paragraph" refers to: "Paragraph" (default), "Artikel", or "Anlage" (annex).
- `applikation` (string): "LrKons" (consolidated, default)
- `bundesland` (string): Filter by state - Wien, Niederoesterreich, Oberoesterreich, Salzburg, Tirol, Vorarlberg, Kaernten, Steiermark, Burgenland
- `fassung_vom` (string): Consolidated version as of this date (YYYY-MM-DD) — retrieves the law text as it stood on that day.
- `gesetzesnummer` (string): Exact law number (Gesetzesnummer) for a specific state law
- `limit`: Results per page: 10, 20, 50 or 100 (default: 20). Every hit costs about 1k characters of structured payload, so prefer 20 for browsing and 50 for a broad survey; a page that would exceed the payload…
- `paragraph` (string): Section number to search for (e.g., "1" for §1, "7" for Art 7)
- `response_format` (string): "markdown" or "json"
- `seite` (integer): Page number
- `suchworte` (string): Broad full-text search terms. Hits come back ordered alphabetically by law title, not by relevance — prefer "titel" and/or "paragraph" whenever the law or the section is known.
- `titel` (string): Search in law titles

Output parameters:

- `documents` (array): The documents on this page
- `has_more` (boolean): Whether further result pages are available
- `notice` (string): Present when the page was delivered at a smaller size than requested to fit the payload budget — page, page_size and query already describe the delivered page; page with query.limit
- `page` (number): Page number of this result set (1-based)
- `page_size` (number): Number of documents per page
- `query` (object): Echo of the validated search parameters alongside the tool name — re-issue the call with an incremented "seite" for the next page
- `total_hits` (number): Total number of documents in RIS matching the search

### `ris_judikatur` (~860 tokens)

Judikatur durchsuchen

Search Austrian court decisions (Judikatur).

Use this tool to find court decisions from Austrian courts. Choose the
jurisdiction via "gerichtsbarkeit" (which court system to search).

RIS distinguishes two document kinds, controlled by "dokumenttyp":
  \- Rechtssatz: abstract legal principle / headnote (Leitsatz) distilled from a decision
  \- Entscheidungstext: the full decision text including reasoning (Begruendung)
The default "beide" searches both for the most complete results.

Example queries:
  \- gerichtsbarkeit="Vfgh", suchworte="Grundrecht" -> Constitutional Court decisions
  \- suchworte="Schadenersatz", gericht="OGH" -> Only Supreme Court (OGH) decisions
  \- norm="1295 ABGB" -> Which decisions cite §1295 ABGB?
  \- gerichtsbarkeit="Justiz", fachgebiet="Arbeitsrecht", sortierung="datum_ab" -> Newest labor-law decisions

Input parameters:

- `dokumenttyp` (string): Which document kind to search: "rechtssatz" (abstract headnotes only), "entscheidungstext" (full decision texts only), or "beide" (both, default). The RIS API otherwise searches only Rechtssätze.
- `entscheidungsart` (string): Type of decision. Allowed values differ by jurisdiction, e.g. Vfgh/Vwgh/Bvwg: "Beschluss", "Erkenntnis"; Lvwg also "Bescheid"; Justiz: "Verstärkter Senat", "Ordentliche Erledigung (Sachentscheidung)".
- `entscheidungsdatum_bis` (string): Decision date to (YYYY-MM-DD)
- `entscheidungsdatum_von` (string): Decision date from (YYYY-MM-DD)

- `limit`: Results per page: 10, 20, 50 or 100 (default: 20). Every hit costs about 1k characters of structured payload, so prefer 20 for browsing and 50 for a broad survey; a page that would exceed the payload…
