## MCP tools (4)

### `gesetze_search` (~170 tokens)

Search German federal statutes and ordinances (Gesetze im Internet, BMJ/juris) BY TITLE OR ABBREVIATION — "BGB", "StGB", "Datenschutz", "Straßenverkehr". An exact or near abbreviation match (BGB, StGB, HGB, BDSG, GG…) returns that one law directly; otherwise ranks law titles by word overlap. Returns each match's abbreviation and official title. Use for "what is the abbreviation for the German Civil Code" or "find the German data protection act". Keyless.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number): Max results, default 10, max 25 (ignored on an exact abbreviation match).
- `query` (string, required): An abbreviation ("BGB") or title keywords ("Datenschutz", "Straßenverkehr").

### `gesetze_law_info` (~179 tokens)

Amendment metadata ("Stand") for a German federal law or ordinance: official abbreviation and title, date of promulgation (Ausfertigungsdatum), official publication citation (Fundstelle), the official amendment-status entries (Neufassung/Stand — the act and date that produced the current consolidated text), and the entry-into-force date when Gesetze im Internet publishes one. Use for "what is the current Stand of the BGB" or "when was the current BDSG enacted". Keyless.

Input parameters:

- `law` (string, required): The law or ordinance: its official abbreviation ("BGB", "StGB", "HGB", "BDSG", "GG", "ZPO", "EStG") or (if unambiguous) its official title ("Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch"). Call gesetze_search first if un…

### `gesetze_structure` (~266 tokens)

Table of contents of a German federal law or ordinance (Bücher/Abschnitte/Titel/Kapitel) with the §/Art. provisions listed under each heading, from Gesetze im Internet. `depth` controls how many heading levels come back; pass a `section_id` from a previous answer to expand one branch. A branch with more provisions than `provision_limit` says so (`has_more_provisions`) rather than truncating silently. Use to browse a law's structure or list the provisions of one chapter.

Input parameters:

- `depth` (number): Heading levels to return below the starting point, 1-8 (default 2).
- `law` (string, required): The law or ordinance: its official abbreviation ("BGB", "StGB", "HGB", "BDSG", "GG", "ZPO", "EStG") or (if unambiguous) its official title ("Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch"). Call gesetze_search first if un…
- `provision_limit` (number): Max provisions listed per heading before has_more_provisions, 10-400 (default 100).
- `section_id` (string): Optional structural-heading id (Gliederungskennzahl) from a previous gesetze_structure answer, to expand one branch.

### `gesetze_provision` (~231 tokens)

Full text of a single § (Paragraph) or Art. (Artikel) of a German federal law or ordinance, by abbreviation and provision number, from Gesetze im Internet. Accepts natural forms: "823", "§ 823", "823a", "Art 1", "Art. 1". Returns the provision's title, full original-language (German) text, and its own footnote (amendment/application note) when the source attaches one. Use for "what does § 823 BGB say" or "Art 1 GG". Keyless.

Input parameters:

- `law` (string, required): The law or ordinance: its official abbreviation ("BGB", "StGB", "HGB", "BDSG", "GG", "ZPO", "EStG") or (if unambiguous) its official title ("Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch"). Call gesetze_search first if un…
- `provision` (string, required): Section/article number as cited: "823", "§ 823", "823a", "Art 1", "Art. 20a".
