Tool catalog

The live tools/list response is the exact input and output contract. Inputs reject unknown fields, errors return {code, message, retryable, recovery?, details?}, and public TextContent is the JSON copy of the same structuredContent payload. Every list-returning tool returns bounded rows. ElevenFlo MCP exposes 18 read-only bankruptcy research tools. This page is the complete list, and a tool absent here is not available. See Permissions and data access for what ElevenFlo MCP cannot do.

Cases are addressed by case_id, documents by UUID document_id. Use identifiers exactly as returned. ElevenFlo MCP accepts no aliases. When a document row carries has_primary_pdf: true, open the filing at /api/search/open/<uuid>/ using that same UUID.

#The research loop

1. find_cases to resolve a case_id.
2. list_docket_entries, search_filings, or find_key_documents to select documents.
3. search_document_chunks to find supporting text.
4. read_document_chunks or extract_document_passages for exact language.
5. search_document_summaries or get_document_summary for synthesis.

#Case and taxonomy

#find_cases

Find cases by debtor identity or by structured case metadata. Case-type tags group cases by how ElevenFlo covers them. They do not name the bankruptcy chapter.

query matches case name, case number, jurisdiction, judge, and indexed industry and case-type tags. It does not match counsel, docket text, or filing content. Use search_filings for those. The other filters listed below are exact, apply on top of query, and also work without one.

• Inputs: optional query, case_type, petition_date_from, petition_date_to, and assets_over_usd. limit is 1 to 50. At least one search criterion is required. Dates must be real YYYY-MM-DD calendar dates, and the from date cannot follow the to date. Use exact case_type_tags values returned by this tool; unknown values return a typed error.
• Returns: case_id, identifying metadata, petition date, disclosed petition asset and liabilities ranges, coverage state, and case-type tags. Filter-only results are newest first.

#list_document_types

List filing categories and tags.

• Inputs: optional query.
• Returns: category keys, labels, and canonical tags.

#list_docket_entries

List observed docket entries for one case, including full entry text, docket evidence, court citations, and links to held documents. Entries can exist without a PDF or searchable filing text. For current case status, verify the relevant terminal notice rather than relying on a projected date.

• Inputs: case_id; optional limit from 1 to 25, query, document_type_tags, inclusive date_filed_from/date_filed_to dates, up to 25 positive docket_numbers, and an opaque cursor from the preceding page. A cursor is valid only with the same filters. Dates describe filing dates, not independently verified entry or signature dates.
• Text search: query matches a literal case-insensitive substring. When a date or docket number is known, start with those filters and omit query and type filters. If needed, use one distinctive word or an exact phrase.
• Filters: document_type_tags accepts only category keys and canonical tags returned by list_document_types; unknown values return a typed error.
• Returns: version 2 entries, evidence, has_more, and next_cursor (null when exhausted); PDF/text flags describe held artifacts. Every held document with a public UUID appears once, inside its entry, and includes a filing_url that opens the filing.
• Court locator: each entry and document can carry court_locator: the court citation (Bankr. D. Del., No. 22-11068, ECF No. 512; adversary and claim-register forms use Adv. No. and Claim No.), court, case_number, docket_number or claim_number, case_docket_url, and an optional pacer link whose target is case, entry, or document. It says where the filing sits on the court's docket, not where ElevenFlo's copy came from. A PACER link opens with the reader's own PACER login; PACER fees may apply. Document, summary, chunk, hub, and relationship results carry the same object.

#Case updates

#list_case_updates

List typed docket events, hearings, and milestones for named cases or the connected account's saved tracked cases. This tool reads updates; it cannot create or change tracked cases, schedule checks, or send notifications.

• Inputs: either one to 25 case_ids or watched=true, never both. Resolve a named case with find_cases first. Optional since is an ISO-8601 timestamp within the last 90 days; it defaults to seven days ago. Optional triggers filters event types. limit is 1 to 50.
• Returns: resolved case_ids, newest-first updates, filing citations, and any published narrative. status distinguishes updates_available, no_watched_cases, no_matching_triggers, and no_recent_updates.
• Limits: no recent typed updates does not establish that no filings occurred. Continue with list_docket_entries for the returned case IDs and requested filing-date window. Detection time and the event's occurrence date can differ.

#Cross-document search

These tools require every substantive query term to appear in the matching evidence. One common word cannot pull in unrelated results.

#search_filings

Search filing evidence across all cases or within one case.

• Inputs: query; optional case_id, document_type_tags, and limit.
• Returns: document rows with matched excerpts and a filing_url when available. document_type_tags accepts only values returned by list_document_types.

#search_transcripts

Search hearing and court transcripts.

• Inputs: query; optional case_id and limit.
• Returns: transcript document rows.

#Summaries

#search_document_summaries

Search stored document summaries within one case.

• Inputs: case_id, query, optional limit.
• Returns: summary rows, their document IDs, and a filing_url that opens each filing.

#get_document_summary

Read the stored summary for one document.

• Input: document_id.
• Returns: one summary or a typed not-found error whose missing_document_ids identifies the requested UUID. The summary and each related filing include a filing_url that opens the filing.

#Exact text

#search_document_chunks

Find supporting chunks within selected documents.

• Inputs: one to 25 document_ids and query.
• Returns: matching chunk IDs, 1-based page numbers (0 when unavailable), exact text, and offsets grouped by document. missing_document_ids lists requested UUIDs that were not found or were not public.

#read_document_chunks

Read selected chunks from one document.

• Inputs: document_id and one to eight chunk_ids.
• Returns: available chunk text, page numbers when available, offsets, total_chunks, and missing_chunk_ids (empty when every requested chunk exists). Valid IDs range from 0 to total_chunks - 1; an all-missing request returns chunk_not_found with the missing IDs and range.

#extract_document_passages

Extract passages answering a focused question from one document.

• Inputs: document_id, query, optional max_chunks from 1 to 10.
• Returns: selected exact chunks and offsets, or a typed not-found error that identifies the requested UUID.

#Document relationships

#find_key_documents

Find key filings in a case, ranked by incoming citation count. Citation frequency is a starting point for research, not a judgment of legal importance.

• Inputs: case_id, optional limit from 1 to 25.
• Returns: document rows with citation counts and a filing_url that opens each filing.

#get_related_documents

Find filings that cite, or are cited by, selected documents.

• Inputs: one to 25 document_ids, optional direction, and optional limit.
• Returns: source and related document pairs. Each related filing includes its filing_url and a summary_state of available or unavailable. missing_document_ids lists requested UUIDs that were not found or were not public; omitted_without_public_id continues to count related rows omitted because no public UUID could be resolved.

#Structured data

Structured datasets carry typed, source-linked fields extracted from filings. Use them when the question is about typed fields, comparable records, or many cases at once rather than the text of one filing. Responses return only public fields and operations, never internal extraction metadata.

Free accounts can list datasets and describe their fields and examples. Searches, aggregates and value suggestions require ElevenFlo Pro.

#list_structured_datasets

List the datasets available to you.

• Inputs: optional limit and signed cursor.
• Returns: dataset slugs, grain, freshness, coverage window, available operations, and provenance.

#describe_structured_dataset

Call this before you query an unfamiliar dataset.

• Input: dataset, using a slug returned by list_structured_datasets.
• Returns: public fields and meanings, typed filter operators, selectable columns, sorts, facets, aggregate capabilities, examples, and search_limits (max_sort_clauses, max_page_size).
• DIP filters use stage and financing_structure; stages and financing_structures are declared aliases. Sale-process uses latest_source_date_filed and fee-applicant-rollups uses latest_date_filed; both retain date_filed as a declared alias. Calendar-date ranges support eq, gt, lt, gte, lte, and between; numeric ranges support gte, lte, and between.

#search_structured_data

Return typed rows from one dataset.

• Inputs: dataset; optional typed where, select, sort, page_size, cursor, and requested facets as declared by the dataset description.
• Returns: public rows, signed continuation cursor, requested facets, snapshot freshness, coverage window, provenance, and the effective page_size. Wide projections clamp page size to the select budget.

#aggregate_structured_data

Count and summarize records across one dataset.

• Inputs: dataset; optional typed where, group_by, metrics, ordering, and bounded result limit as declared by the dataset description.
• Returns: aggregate-safe grouped values and metrics with snapshot freshness, coverage window, and provenance.

#suggest_structured_values

Suggest normalized values for a field the dataset marks suggestable.

• Inputs: dataset, field, optional query text, typed where, and bounded limit.
• Returns: normalized public values matching the declared field contract.

• fee-applicant-rollups — Cumulative requested and allowed fee economics by applicant, case, and currency; group by firm_name for requested fees by firm. Requested fees are not court-allowed fees. Affiliates appear separately without parent-firm consolidation, and roles may be unknown. The public requested_amount_rejected boolean indicates that requested economics exclude rejected filings; surviving requests in the same rollup still contribute.
• fee-timekeepers: named historical billing rates by firm and case. Filter timekeeper_name with name tokens in any order, organization_name, timekeeper_title, or hourly_rate. Group partner rates by firm, filing year, and currency; aggregates default to monthly, final, and first-and-final applications. Rates are observed billing evidence, not current market rates.

This page is a static copy of the public catalog. Call list_structured_datasets for the live list and describe_structured_dataset for each dataset's fields, operations, and limits. Datasets outside the public catalog return unknown_dataset.

hearing-sessions uses schema hearing-sessions.v2. scope_kind distinguishes bankruptcy-case, single-adversary, joint-adversary and unresolved ownership. adversary_proceedings contains canonical court numbers, captions and available tracking URLs; scope_sources contains immutable public-filing/hash references for qualified joint conferences. Unresolved scope does not assert case ownership.

ballot-tabulation is Plan voting results. It returns one current ballot declaration with projected class totals. Its operative flag is true only for the latest non-supplemental declaration for the case and plan. ballot-class-results returns immutable class-row evidence from those declarations. These class rows are not canonical plan votes.
