### Tool changes

- 2026-10-19 `indian_legal_mcp_get_skill` added
  - Retrieve procedural instructions and domain reference files for a legal skill. Call this tool after checking list_skills to load the exact workflow for a legal domain. Use skill_id='_core' to retrieve global legal reasoning, citation, and anti-hallucination rules.
- 2026-10-19 `indian_legal_mcp_list_skills` added
  - Discover expert legal research procedures and workflows available in the system. Returns the skills registry containing domain skill IDs, titles, triggers ('use_when'), covered act codes, recommended tool sequences, and reference files. If query is provided, filters skills by keyword matching against skill ID, title, trigger keywords, or act codes.
- 2026-10-19 `indian_legal_mcp_search_keyword` changed (description)
  - before: [AI TOOL ORCHESTRATION INSTRUCTION: ALWAYS use this tool FIRST when the specific section number is unknown. Never guess section numbers.] Search section titles and text across all 81 Acts (including the 2026 Constitution of India, criminal, civil, commercial, corporate, labor, environmental, and family codes). Exact title matches rank #1, partial title matches rank #2, and body text matches rank #3 (via BM25). Handles exact phrases, multi-word keywords, section citations (e.g. 'Article 21: Life & Liberty'), and punctuation gracefully. If filtered by an Act that has no matching provisions, dynamically detects and suggests other Acts in the database where relevant provisions exist.
  - after: [AI TOOL ORCHESTRATION INSTRUCTION: ALWAYS use this tool FIRST when the specific section number is unknown. Never guess section numbers.] Search section titles and text across all 102 Acts (including the 2026 Constitution of India, criminal, civil, commercial, corporate, labor, tax, environmental, public health, and family codes). Exact title matches rank #1, partial title matches rank #2, and body text matches rank #3 (via BM25). Handles exact phrases, multi-word keywords, section citations (e.g. 'Article 21: Life & Liberty'), and punctuation gracefully. If filtered by an Act that has no matching provisions, dynamically detects and suggests other Acts in the database where relevant provisions exist.
- 2026-10-19 `indian_legal_mcp_get_chapter` changed (description, inputSchema)
  - before: Get every section within one chapter (or Constitution Part) of an Act, with full text. Supports BNS, BNSS, BSA, IPC, CRPC, IEA, and Constitution of India (COI). For the Constitution of India, chapter_number represents the Part (e.g. 'III', 'IV', '3', 'Fundamental Rights'). For CPC and MVA, which lack chapter grouping in this dataset, it returns an informative message.
  - after: Get every section within one chapter (or Constitution Part) of an Act, with full text. Supports all chaptered Acts in the database (e.g. BNS, BNSS, BSA, IPC, CRPC, IEA, COI, CA, IBC, SEBI, SCRA, ITA, EA, DCA, LLP, MHA, MSMED, etc.). You can query by Roman numeral (e.g. 'I', 'III', 'VIA'), Arabic numeral (e.g. '1', '3', '6A'), or by chapter title keywords (e.g. 'Fundamental Rights', 'Adjudication', 'Demutualisation'). For CPC and MVA, which lack chapter grouping in this dataset, it returns an informative message.

## Tools (16)

- `indian_legal_mcp_convert_section`: Map/convert any criminal law section between the old repealed codes (IPC, CrPC, IEA) and the new 2023 criminal codes (BNS, BNSS, BSA) in either direction. Returns the corresponding section number, amendment status ('Retained', 'Change', 'Deleted', 'New Section', 'New Sub-Section'), a concise mapping statement, and the full statutory text of both sections for instant comparison. Examples: convert_section('IPC', '302') -> maps to BNS Section 103 (Punishment for murder) convert_section('BNS', '103') -> maps to IPC Section 302 + highlights new sub-section 103(2) (Mob Lynching) convert_section('CRPC', '437') -> maps to BNSS Section 480 (Non-bailable offence bail) convert_section('IEA', '65B') -> maps to BSA Section 63 (Electronic records admissibility) convert_section('IPC', '377') -> notes that this section was repealed and deleted in BNS convert_section('BNS', '111') -> notes that Organised Crime is a newly introduced provision
- `indian_legal_mcp_get_act_info`: Get metadata about one specific Act: its full name, year enacted, and whether it is still current law or has been repealed and replaced by something newer.
- `indian_legal_mcp_get_chapter`: Get every section within one chapter (or Constitution Part) of an Act, with full text. Supports all chaptered Acts in the database (e.g. BNS, BNSS, BSA, IPC, CRPC, IEA, COI, CA, IBC, SEBI, SCRA, ITA, EA, DCA, LLP, MHA, MSMED, etc.). You can query by Roman numeral (e.g. 'I', 'III', 'VIA'), Arabic numeral (e.g. '1', '3', '6A'), or by chapter title keywords (e.g. 'Fundamental Rights', 'Adjudication', 'Demutualisation'). For CPC and MVA, which lack chapter grouping in this dataset, it returns an informative message.
- `indian_legal_mcp_get_constitution_appendix`: Get the full text of an Appendix to the Constitution of India (2026 Edition). Covers Appendix I (100th Amendment / Land Boundary Agreement), Appendix II (J&K Order 2019 / C.O. 272), and Appendix III (Declaration under Article 370(3) / C.O. 273).
- `indian_legal_mcp_get_constitution_schedule`: Get the full text and tables of a specific Schedule of the Constitution of India (2026 Edition). Covers all 12 Schedules (First to Twelfth Schedule). Examples: get_constitution_schedule('Seventh') -> Union, State, and Concurrent Lists get_constitution_schedule('7') -> Same as 'Seventh' get_constitution_schedule('Eighth') -> Languages get_constitution_schedule('First') -> States and Union Territories
- `indian_legal_mcp_get_full_act`: Get an entire Act, in full, returned in paginated chunks (50 sections/page). Use only when genuinely needing the whole Act. If a page beyond the total pages is requested, it gracefully returns empty sections with a note.
- `indian_legal_mcp_get_section`: [AI TOOL ORCHESTRATION INSTRUCTION: Only use this tool AFTER you have found the exact section number via search_keyword, or if the user explicitly provided it.] Get the exact text of ONE section (or Constitution article) by its number. Use this when someone asks about a specific, known section number, e.g. 'what does BNS Section 103 say', 'show me IPC 302', or 'what does COI Article 21 say'. If the Act is repealed (IPC, CRPC, or IEA), the result includes a note that it no longer applies to new cases and names what replaced it. For the Constitution of India (COI), section_number='0' retrieves the Preamble.
- `indian_legal_mcp_get_section_range`: Get all sections between a start and end number (inclusive) with full text. If start and end are provided in reverse order, it silently corrects them and includes a note in the response.
- `indian_legal_mcp_get_skill`: Retrieve procedural instructions and domain reference files for a legal skill. Call this tool after checking list_skills to load the exact workflow for a legal domain. Use skill_id='_core' to retrieve global legal reasoning, citation, and anti-hallucination rules.
- `indian_legal_mcp_list_acts`: List all available Acts in the database, with metadata and descriptions. Use this to see which legal codes are supported or find short codes. Currently supports 102 official Acts of India.

- `indian_legal_mcp_list_sections`: List every section NUMBER and TITLE in one Act, without the full body text. Use this to browse what exists in an Act before deciding which specific section or chapter to fetch in full -- much shorter than get_full_act.
- `indian_legal_mcp_list_skills`: Discover expert legal research procedures and workflows available in the system. Returns the skills registry containing domain skill IDs, titles, triggers ('use_when'), covered act codes, recommended tool sequences, and reference files. If query is provided, filters skills by keyword matching against skill ID, title, trigger keywords, or act codes.
- `indian_legal_mcp_resolve_act`: [TOKEN OPTIMIZATION TOOL: Use this instead of list_acts to find act codes for any legal topic or statute name in a tiny, lightweight response.] Find the exact act_code(s) for any topic, statute name, or keyword. Returns a compact list of matching Acts with their act_code, official name, and enactment year. Examples: resolve_act('environment') -> [EPA, NGT, AIR, WATER, WPA, VSA] resolve_act('hindu') -> [HMA, HSA, HAMA] resolve_act('cheque') -> [NIA] resolve_act('company') -> [CA, IBC, COMMERCIAL_COURTS] resolve_act('marriage') -> [HMA, SMA, FCA, PCMA] resolve_act('data protection') -> [DPDPA, IT_ACT]
