## Tools (3)

- `legal_get_section`: Full text of one document section from the GetLawED library — use it to read and quote the exact provision found by legal_library_search (give the doc_id and the section reference it returned). For judgments, returns the judgment text (or the part matching "section", e.g. a paragraph number or phrase), capped at 12 000 characters.
- `legal_library_search`: Search GetLawED's library of official South African legal texts (Constitutional Court, SCA, High Court, Labour, Land, Tax and tribunal judgments; Acts; regulations, rules and codes issued under them; municipal by-laws and land use schemes; Bills; Government Gazettes). Returns matching documents with the best-matching section reference where the text is split into sections, a short passage and the official source link. Absence from the library does not mean an authority does not exist.
- `legal_verify_citations`: Check the South African case citations and Acts in a piece of text against GetLawED's library of official copies and verified records. Each item comes back as found, mismatch (the citation belongs to a different case), name_only, not_found, repealed or unchecked. "not_found"/"unchecked" means "check the law reports", not "fake".
