AI agents invoke citation_parse_citation_with_citeurl to trigger processes or run actions in CourtListener. Execute operations can have side effects beyond the immediate call -- triggering builds, sending notifications, or starting workflows. Rate limits and argument validation are essential to prevent runaway execution.
citation_parse_citation_with_citeurl can trigger processes with real-world consequences. An uncontrolled agent might start dozens of builds, send mass notifications, or kick off expensive compute jobs. PolicyLayer enforces rate limits and validates arguments to keep execution within safe bounds.
Execute tools trigger processes. Rate-limit and validate arguments to prevent unintended side effects.

Parse a legal citation using citeurl's advanced citation recognition. This tool uses the citeurl library to parse legal citations and extract structured information including tokens, normalized format, and URL generation. Returns detailed information about the citation including: - Recognized citation format and source - Extracted tokens (volume, reporter, page, etc.) - Generated URL if available - Normalized citation text Args: citation: The citation string to parse. ctx: The FastMCP context for logging. broad: Whether to use broad matching for flexible parsing. Returns: dict[str, str | dict | None]: A dictionary containing the parsed citation data, including success status, original citation, and detailed parsing results.. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the CourtListener MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.
Register the CourtListener MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for citation_parse_citation_with_citeurl: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches CourtListener. Nothing to install.
citation_parse_citation_with_citeurl is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the citation_parse_citation_with_citeurl rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for citation_parse_citation_with_citeurl. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
citation_parse_citation_with_citeurl is provided by the CourtListener MCP server (https://courtlistener-mcp.vaquill.ai/mcp/). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
