icu:get_document

Retrieve a CJEU decision or opinion from InfoCuria by case number or CELEX number. Returns full text in Markdown with Randnummern as [Rn. 5]{.rn}. Use `section` for partial content: "Rn 5-12", heading text, or "lines:100-200". Use `save_path` to save to file instead of returning content.

Part of the German Legal MCP server. Enforce policies on this tool with Intercept, the open-source MCP proxy.

AI agents use icu:get_document to create or modify resources in German Legal. Write operations carry medium risk because an autonomous agent could trigger bulk unintended modifications. Rate limits prevent a single agent session from making hundreds of changes in rapid succession. Argument validation ensures the agent passes expected values.

Without a policy, an AI agent could call icu:get_document repeatedly, creating or modifying resources faster than any human could review. Intercept's rate limiting ensures write operations happen at a controlled pace, and argument validation catches malformed or unexpected inputs before they reach German Legal.

Write tools can modify data. A rate limit prevents runaway bulk operations from AI agents.
