What this server can do
10 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
fetch(id)- Fetch the full record + source text of one case by its id (package_id). (Deep-research companion to search.) Required: id.
get_attorney(name, limit)- Get one attorney's profile: bio (when available), aggregate outcomes, and their most recent cases. Name is matched case-insensitively. Required: name.
get_case(package_id)- Get the complete curated record for one case by package_id. Includes the AI-assisted case summary, all extracted fields, attorney and special master, plus links: canonical page, plain-text source bundle, and per-document PDF links where available. Required: package_id.
get_case_text(max_chars, package_id, offset_chars)- Get the staged plain text of a case's public court documents. Long decisions can exceed 100 pages; the text is returned in chunks. Use offset_chars from the previous response's next_offset to page through. max_chars is capped at 50,000. Required: package_id.
get_filters- List all valid filter values: canonical vaccine names (with case counts), condition categories, outcomes, special masters, and the dataset's date range. Call this before filtering so you use real values instead of guessing.
get_special_master(name, limit)- Decision patterns for one special master: outcome breakdown, top vaccines/conditions in their docket, and recent cases. Required: name.
get_statistics(vaccine, group_by, is_death, pediatric_only, condition_category)- Aggregate statistics over the case corpus, optionally filtered. group_by: vaccine | condition | outcome | year | special_master Returns per-group: total cases, compensated count, compensation rate, death count, and median award among compensated cases (awards over $10M excluded from the median due to a known unit-extraction bug). IMPORTANT framing: these describe the VICP case-record dataset, not vaccine-safety rates in the general population.
search(query)- Search VICP vaccine-injury cases by free text. Returns result ids for use with fetch. (Alias of search_cases for deep-research clients; prefer search_cases when structured filters are available.) Required: query.
search_attorneys(limit, query)- Search petitioner attorneys and firms by name. Returns per-attorney aggregate stats: case count, compensation rate, main vaccines, and firm. Useful for 'who has handled X cases' questions. Required: query.
search_cases(sort, limit, query, offset, outcome, vaccine, attorney, filed_to, is_death, max_award, min_award, decided_to, filed_from, decided_from, decision_type, autism_related, pediatric_only, special_master, condition_category)- Search VICP cases with structured filters. - query: free text matched against petitioner identifier, condition, package id, caption name and the AI case summary. - vaccine: canonical vaccine name (use get_filters() for valid values, e.g. "Influenza (flu)", "DTaP/DPT", "MMR", "COVID-19", "Hepatitis B"). - condition_category / outcome: exact values from get_filters(). - decision_type: how the case was decided (stipulation, proffer, reasoned, reasoned_damages, procedural, unclear). - pediatric_only uses the broad pediatric cohort definition (is_minor OR is_minor_inferred OR age<18) — strict age-only filtering undercounts pediatric cases substantially. - dates are ISO strings (YYYY-MM-DD); awards are USD integers. - sort: decision_date_desc|decision_date_asc|filed_asc|filed_desc|award_desc|award_asc - Returns total match count plus one page of compact case records with canonical URLs. Use get_case(package_id) for the full record.

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
