🟢search(query, kind, topic, limit)
Use this when the user asks about California HOA, condominium or common-interest-development law and you need the governing statute sections or court decisions. Searches the Davis-Stirling Act (Civil Code §§4000–6150) and the court decisions interpreting it; returns ranked results, each with a verbatim snippet, citation and link. Do not use it for other states, commercial or industrial CIDs (§§6500–6876), the Corporations Code, local ordinances, or a specific association’s governing documents.

}🟢get_court_case(case, include, offset, max_chars)
Use this when the user names or cites a California HOA court decision (e.g. "Nahrstedt", "8 Cal.4th 361") or you need what a case held. Returns the court, date and citations, the Davis-Stirling sections the opinion cites (with the court’s own sentence), the cases it cites, a clearly labeled DavisStirling summary, and optionally pages of the opinion text. Do not use it for statutes or for decisions outside this library.

}🟢find_interpreting_cases(section, min_tier, include_former, limit)
Use this when the user asks which court decisions interpret or apply a Davis-Stirling section. Includes decisions citing its pre-2014 number (former Civil Code §§1350–1378, via the verified AB 805 table), ranked by how central the section is to each opinion, each with the court’s own sentence. Do not use it as a complete citator: it covers only the decisions in this library.

}🟢get_related_authorities(authority, kinds, limit)
Use this when you need what a section or case is connected to: sections it cites or that cite it, defined terms it relies on, procedural steps before and after it, and cases that cite it or that it cites. Every connection carries the verbatim text that creates it. Do not use it to find topically similar law; it returns only these fixed connection types.

Use this when you need to check a California HOA citation before relying on it: a Davis-Stirling section (current, or a former pre-2014 number like "Civ.

Do not use it for citations to other states or other California codes.
