TOOL API

case.get_judicial_authoritative_case_search

Searches the authoritative case database (Supreme People's Court and Supreme People's Procuratorate guiding cases, gazette cases, typical cases, database cases and reference cases, roughly 26,000 records) and returns case metadata including the judgment gist; use it when drafting legal opinions or similar-case research reports that need highly citable rulings, or when the user explicitly asks for guiding, gazette or typical cases. When the user names an authoritative case type, you must use this tool rather than substituting a general case search; for bulk general documents or statistics use get_judicial_case_search, and for a single full judgment text use get_judicial_case_detail. Authoritative cases are mostly anonymized, so searching by party name is not supported. The judgment gist is a summary section (a markdown ## section), not the full text, and a very small number of cases have an empty gist.
