# court_filings_multi Aggregate court filings, judgments and litigation records for a company or individual across five major legal jurisdictions: US (CourtListener / PACER), UK (National Archives — EWHC/EWCA/UKSC/UKUT), EU (ECHR HUDOC — European Court of Human Rights), France (Légifrance / Cour de cassation) and Germany (BGH / BVerfG). Returns structured case records with type classification (civil/criminal/antitrust/bankruptcy/administrative/unknown), status (filed/pending/decided/appealed/unknown), parties extracted from case titles, opinion URLs and verbatim snippets. Cross-case pattern recognition produces severity-ranked signals (P0–P2) for criminal, antitrust, bankruptcy, regulatory, data-breach and IP categories. Use when: due diligence on a counterparty, vendor risk assessment, competitive intelligence (litigation history), regulatory exposure mapping. All sources are public and keyless. Optional env var COURTLISTENER_API_KEY raises US rate limits beyond the default 5 req/s anonymous tier. SLA: ≤25s p95 (all jurisdictions fetched in parallel, 8s budget per source). Quality score: 20 pts per jurisdiction with ≥1 case retrieved, +10 if signals detected, +5–10 if ≥2–3 distinct sources contributed.

It performs read-only data aggregation with no side effects. Medium severity because it can expose sensitive litigation history, criminal records, and personal legal information about individuals or companies, which could be misused for profiling or competitive intelligence purposes. From the tool's own definition: "Aggregate court filings, judgments and litigation records... Returns structured case records... opinion URLs and verbatim snippets" Risk signals: Admin/system-level operation ## Use case AI agents call court_filings_multi to retrieve information from Gapup Mcp without modifying anything.
