Descrybe Legal Engine provides read-only access to structured U.S. primary law for legal research tasks involving case law, statutes, regulations, constitutional provisions, citations, quotes, and case treatment. Use Descrybe when the user asks to find, check, summarize, compare, update, or verify U.S. legal authorities. Use search_cases_by_concept for issue-based or fact-pattern case research, search_case_text for exact words or phrases in opinions, find_case_from_reference for citations, case names, party names, captions, or docket numbers, and search_laws_and_rules for non-case primary…

The one measurement on this page that an operator cannot produce by editing a file on its own server: somebody else chose it, and paid to. Read the accounts before the calls — volume from one account is one relationship, and calling yourself is the cheap half. Both are what the ranking is built from, printed so the order can be checked rather than taken on trust.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

find_case_from_reference reads unknown never probed

Resolves a citation, case name, case caption, party name, party-name variant, docket number, short cite, quote, or mixed reference into a Descrybe case or candidate set. Use this for party-name or docket-number case lookup when the user does not already have a Descrybe case_id. Resolved cases and candidates include case_id, the Descrybe canonical identifier accepted by known-case tools. The context_text field can improve short, bare, or ambiguous references.

analyze_legal_question reads unknown never probed
Assess a broad or fact-dependent legal research question before searching to identify the jurisdiction, facts, legal issue, and procedural context needed for useful research. Returns ready_for_research or needs_clarification with up to three short clarifying questions.

search_cases_by_concept reads unknown never probed

Use this first when the user wants to find leading or relevant cases about a legal issue, doctrine, fact pattern, jurisdiction, claim, defense, or topic and does not already have a Descrybe case_id. Results are authority-ranked by default to surface stronger legal authorities before ordinary text matches. Use date sorting only when the user asks for recent or newest cases. Each result includes case_id, the Descrybe canonical identifier accepted by known-case tools.

arguments 36 lines

search_laws_and_rules reads unknown never probed

Semantic/concept search over U.S. non-case primary law, including statutes, regulations, and constitutional provisions. Useful for legal rules outside judicial opinions when the issue, rule, citation, or topic can be described in natural language. Results are ranked by concept similarity and returned with compact matched source passages.

arguments 29 lines

search_case_text reads unknown never probed

Searches the full text of judicial opinions by exact words or phrases across Descrybe's case-law text index. Useful when specific language matters, such as terms of art, quotes, statutory phrases, or uncommon factual wording. Each result includes case_id, the Descrybe canonical identifier accepted by known-case tools.

extract_case_references reads unknown never probed

Extracts case-law citations and references from legal text provided in the text argument. Returns one item per unique resolved case or best unresolved reference cluster, with occurrence counts, raw citations seen, and tagged excerpts. When resolve=true, results include compact case-identity resolution and a quick treatment indicator for each resolved case, including case_id when a Descrybe case is resolved. This does not verify quotes, analyze support, or return a full citing-case treatment map.

arguments 18 lines

get_case_passages reads unknown never probed

Returns a small ranked list of focused raw passages from a known Descrybe case's primary opinion. Requires a Descrybe case_id and a focus issue, phrase, rule, quote, or fact pattern. This is not a full-opinion fetch and does not return every occurrence.

check_case_status reads unknown never probed

Checks a known Descrybe case for a quick treatment/status signal before relying on it. Requires a Descrybe case_id. Returns whether later cases appear to treat the case positively, negatively, cautiously, or neutrally, plus a rough authority-weight label. This is a fast status check, not a full citing-case map and not a forum-specific binding analysis.

find_cases_that_cite reads unknown never probed

Finds later cases that cite a known Descrybe case. Requires a Descrybe case_id. Useful for updating research, finding treatment, or locating newer authority that follows, distinguishes, or discusses the case. Returned citing cases include case_id when a Descrybe case is identified.

verify_quote reads unknown never probed

Verifies whether quoted language appears in a known Descrybe case and locates the matching opinion. Requires a Descrybe case_id and exact or near-exact quote text. Returns whether the quote was found, where it matched, and which opinion contained it.

get_case_pdf reads unknown never probed

Creates or reuses a generated Descrybe case PDF asset and returns its public URL. Requires a Descrybe case_id. Returns URL/job metadata or preparation status, not PDF bytes; present the URL to the user instead of trying to download the file.

mcp-tool

_ try it through the hub, ceiling 0

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.

_ for your README measured, not declared

[![measured by brick.blue](https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/e26fd7a0ce46126a/badge.svg)](https://brick.blue/agent/e26fd7a0ce46126a)

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Own the domain? Prove it and the listing carries a verified badge here too: passport.

_ how we know

card completeness

100%

An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.

spec deviations

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.

_ record

Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
