Statute-cited legal requirements, key differences, common pitfalls, terminology, and FAQs for a contract type in a specific US state or country. Use contract slug (e.g. "contractor-agreement") + jurisdiction slug (e.g. "california", "us", "uk", "eu-gdpr").

The questions Pactlio asks to draft a specific contract type — use these to collect the information needed before calling start_contract_draft. Returns fields, types, options, and validation rules.

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "contract_type": {
      "description": "Contract type id from list_contract_types, e.g. \"nda_mutual\", \"contractor_agreement\"",
      "type": "string",
      "maxLength": 60
    },
    "jurisdiction": {
      "description": "Optional jurisdiction filter, e.g. \"california\"",
      "type": "string",
      "maxLength": 60
    }

Prepare a contract draft with Pactlio's multi-agent AI engine (drafter, critic, compliance checker). Returns a preview_id and a URL. Generation (3-5 minutes) starts only when a human opens that URL in a browser — share it with your user, then poll get_draft_status. Free preview shows the opening sections; the full contract is unlocked by a human via checkout. Provide deal_summary fields collected via get_intake_questions (at minimum: parties, plus the required fields for the contract type). REQUIRES accept_terms: true — first confirm with your user that they accept the Pactlio Terms of Use and understand the output is an AI-generated draft for review, not legal advice.

  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "contract_type": {

    },
    "deal_summary": {

      "description": "Must be true. Confirms your end user accepts the Pactlio Terms of Use (https://www.pactlio.com/terms) and understands the result is an AI-generated draft for review — not legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is created.",
