MCP tools · 6 exposed · ~1,096 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
get_uitspraak ~171

Fetch the full text and metadata of a single Dutch court decision by ECLI, from the official Open Data API (data.rechtspraak.nl). Returns metadata (court, date, rechtsgebied, zaaknummer), the plain-text body, formal relations (conclusie/cassatie/etc.), and links to the ruling on rechtspraak.nl plus a PrudAI viewer. If the ECLI is not published or has no body text, the tool says so — do not invent or cite it in that case.

NameTypeReqDescription
eclistringECLI identifier, e.g. ECLI:NL:HR:2023:1234 (alias: id).
idstringAlias for ecli.
metadataOnlybooleanWhen true, fetch metadata only (no body text).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_uitspraken_bulk ~103

Fetch multiple Dutch court decisions by ECLI in one call (1–10 ECLIs) from the official Open Data API. Returns a per-ECLI result with the body text, metadata, relations, and links — or an error for any ECLI that is unpublished or not found.

NameTypeReqDescription
eclisarrayyes1–10 ECLI identifiers.
metadataOnlybooleanWhen true, fetch metadata only (no body text).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

lido_related ~240

Get the LiDO citation graph around a Dutch ECLI: rulings that cite it or are cited by it, referenced statute articles, and official publications, with typed Dutch link labels (e.g. 'Verwijst naar', 'Conclusie', 'Vernietigt'). Data comes from KOOP's live LiDO service (linkeddata.overheid.nl). Use it to position a ruling (is it a landmark? what does it cite?). Read-only and bounded (per-direction limit default 100, max 250). This returns structure, not full text — use get_uitspraak for the text of any neighbour.

NameTypeReqDescription
directionstring'both' (default), 'in' (only citing), 'out' (only cited).
eclistringyesECLI identifier, e.g. ECLI:NL:HR:2019:1278. Case-sensitive local segment.
limitintegerPer-direction edge limit (default 100).
linkTypeCodesarrayOptional filter on link-type codes (e.g. ['lx-referentie', 'rvr-conclusie']).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_waardelijsten ~113

List the Rechtspraak value lists (waardelijsten) used to build valid search filters: instanties, instanties_buitenlands, rechtsgebieden, proceduresoorten, niet_nederlandse_uitspraken. 'rechtsgebieden' and 'instanties' return the identifiers/URIs you pass to search_uitspraken (rechtsgebied / instanties). Call without a name to see the available lists.

NameTypeReqDescription
namestringWhich value list to fetch. Omit to list available names.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

search_uitspraken ~323

Search Dutch case law (jurisprudentie/uitspraken) via the official Open Data API and get back ECLIs with links to the ruling and a PrudAI viewer. This is a faceted search: filter by rechtsgebied, instantie, date range and document type. It does not do free-text keyword matching. If you already have an ECLI, pass it as `query` and the tool returns that single decision's summary. Use list_waardelijsten to discover valid rechtsgebied/instantie identifiers.

NameTypeReqDescription
dateFromstringUitspraakdatum from, YYYY-MM-DD.
dateTostringUitspraakdatum to, YYYY-MM-DD.
fromintegerZero-based pagination offset (default 0).
instantiesarrayCourt filter: a single OWMS creator URI (find it via list_waardelijsten).
maxintegerMax results to return (default 25).
querystringA single ECLI to look up directly. (Open Data has no free-text search; non-ECLI keywords are ignored — use the facet filters instead.)
rechtsgebiedstringRechtsgebied slug (e.g. 'civielrecht', 'strafrecht', 'bestuursrecht', 'internationaalpubliekrecht') or full PSI URI.
sortstring'date' for newest-first; otherwise the API's default order.
typestringRestrict to rulings or AG conclusies.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

search_uitspraken_bulk ~146

Run several Open Data lookups at once (3–10 entries). Pass ECLIs to resolve a batch of decisions' summaries in one call. Note: Open Data has no free-text matching, so non-ECLI terms fall back to facet-only results — prefer get_uitspraken_bulk when you already have the ECLIs. Use to cast a broad net before narrowing down via get_uitspraak.

NameTypeReqDescription
fromintegerZero-based offset per term (default 0).
pageSizeintegerResults per term (max 10, default 10).
termsarrayyes3–10 distinct search terms, phrased differently.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.
