Georgia Commons

Call first. What Georgia Commons holds, which collections this server has loaded, the id and URL grammar, which tool to call next, and the independence statement. Cheap.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {},
  "title": "describe_siteArguments"
}

Exactly what is loaded, computed from the stores now: coverage sentences, corpus versions, counts, sessions, years, dates, licenses.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {},
  "title": "get_coverageArguments"
}

Search every loaded collection (or one, with `collection` = code, bills, or opinions) and return up to ten results as {id, title, url}. A Code or constitution citation, bill number, or docket in the query comes first. Search matches the words of the document. Ask in the words the document would use, not the words of the question. Follow with fetch(id).

One Supreme Court of Georgia opinion by docket in any case (S23A0421), reporter citation (317 Ga. 528, 883 S.E.2d 746), record id (a CourtListener cluster id, or ga- and the docket for a record read from the court's own website), or case name, as the same Markdown twin the site serves: frontmatter (cite_as, canonical_url, source_url, record_source, date, status), the verbatim opinion, then the summaries Georgia Commons wrote under a heading that says so. When several opinions share a docket this is the most recent and the frontmatter lists the others. `full` adds the summarized reasoning, checked quotes, and the upstream opinion records.

Full-text search over opinion text, case names, and the labeled summaries. A bare docket or citation is a direct lookup. Search matches the words of the document: ask in the words the court would use. `in_headings` searches only case names, legal areas, and case types.

One bill or resolution of the Georgia General Assembly by number in any written form (HB 136, H.B. 136, House Bill 136, 2025-2026/hb136, a numeric id), as the same Markdown twin the site serves: frontmatter (cite_as, canonical_url, source_url, status), the verbatim text, the summaries Georgia Commons wrote under a heading that says so, and status. With no `session`, a number means the newest regular session that has it; name the session (2026-special) for a special session's bill that shares its number. `full` adds the history, the floor votes with how each member voted, the amendments, and every document the legislature lists.

Full-text search over bill text, titles, and the labeled summaries. A bare bill number is a direct lookup. Search matches the words of the document: ask in the words the bill would use. `in_headings` searches only titles, topic tags, and subjects.

Call first for the Code. The citation grammar, how to find a section without its citation, how versions and statuses work, what is and is not in the text, and the list of titles. Cheap.

{

  "properties": {},
  "title": "code_describe_structureArguments"
}

One Code section by citation in any written form (44-7-34, 'O.C.G.A. § 44-7-34', 'Title 44, Chapter 7, Section 34'), as the same Markdown twin the site serves: frontmatter (cite_as, canonical_url, source_url, status, version), the verbatim text, then the notes capped. `version` picks a printed version by its qualifier; `subsection` ('a', 'a-1') renders one part. A 404 names the neighboring sections.

Several sections at once: a list ('44-7-30, 44-7-31 and 44-7-34') or a range ('44-7-30 through 44-7-35'), up to 40 sections under a 150,000-character cap, with a trailer naming anything not rendered.

Every section of a chapter with its text, in order, windowed by max_sections (default 40) and max_chars (default 100,000); the output ends with a pointer to continue or 'End of chapter.'

  "title": "code_get_chapterArguments"

Full-text search of the Code: words, or a citation, or both. A citation among words returns that section first; a query that names an act returns the section stating its short title first; a query that is a passage of a provision word for word returns that provision first. Search matches the words of the document: ask in the words the statute would use. `in_headings` searches only headings and catchlines and adds the matching units. `scheme` picks the collection: `ocga` (default), `ga` for the Georgia constitution, `us` for the United States constitution.
