## MCP tools (4)

### `ark_recent_opinions` (~236 tokens)

Newest Arkansas Supreme Court and Arkansas Court of Appeals opinions, newest first, read from the Arkansas Judiciary's official opinions archive every hour. Returns each decision's neutral citation (e.g. "2026 Ark. 140", "2026 Ark. App. 449"), case name, decision date, docket number, authoring judge, opinion type, disposition and a link to the opinion's own page on the court's site. Use for "what did the Arkansas Supreme Court decide this week", "latest Arkansas Court of Appeals opinions", or recent Arkansas appellate decisions since a date. Covers decisions from 2026-01-01 on.

Input parameters:

- `court` (string): "supreme" (Arkansas Supreme Court) or "appeals" (Arkansas Court of Appeals). Omit for both.
- `include_syllabi` (boolean): Also list the courts' daily syllabus documents and no-opinion notices (default false).
- `limit` (number): Maximum opinions to return (1-100, default 20).
- `since` (string): Only decisions on or after this date, YYYY-MM-DD.

### `ark_opinion` (~232 tokens)

Read one Arkansas Supreme Court or Court of Appeals opinion by its neutral citation ("2026 Ark. 140", "2026 Ark. App. 449") or archive item id: case name, decision date, docket, author, disposition, the full opinion text, its citation status, and its version history (every editorial revision the court published, each with retrieval time and SHA-256). From the Arkansas Judiciary's official opinions archive, decisions from 2026-01-01 on. For older Arkansas citations use court-listener lookup_citation.

Input parameters:

- `citation` (string): Arkansas neutral citation, e.g. "2026 Ark. 140" or "2026 Ark. App. 449".
- `item_id` (number): Archive item id (from ark_recent_opinions or ark_search_opinions), used when there is no citation.
- `max_chars` (number): Truncate the returned text to this many characters (default 40000, max 200000).
- `version` (number): Return this earlier version's text instead of the current one (see versions[]).

### `ark_search_opinions` (~215 tokens)

Full-text search of recent Arkansas Supreme Court and Court of Appeals opinions (decisions from 2026-01-01 on, from the Arkansas Judiciary's official archive) by subject, party or phrase — "parole eligibility", "termination of parental rights", "Walmart". Filter by court and decision date. Returns matching opinions with neutral citation, case name, date, a highlighted passage and a link to the opinion's own page; read the whole opinion with ark_opinion. Use quotes for an exact phrase.

Input parameters:

- `court` (string): "supreme" or "appeals". Omit for both.
- `date_after` (string): Only decisions on or after this date, YYYY-MM-DD.
- `date_before` (string): Only decisions on or before this date, YYYY-MM-DD.
- `limit` (number): Maximum results (1-50, default 10).
- `query` (string, required): Words or a "quoted phrase" to find in the opinion text, case name or citation.

### `ark_coverage` (~93 tokens)

What Arkansas appellate opinions this pack can answer from: per court (Supreme Court, Court of Appeals) the number of opinions, the earliest and latest decision date, the highest neutral citation number per year, how many opinions were revised after release, and when the hourly collection from the Arkansas Judiciary's official opinions archive last succeeded. Use before relying on an absence ("is 2026 Ark. 150 out yet?").
