No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/jp_court_get for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Fetch one decision from the Courts of Japan judgments database by the id jp_court_search returned (use get_id, e.g. “89915-2”; a bare record number such as “89915” also works, with extra page reads): the case number, name, date, court, the court’s holding (判示事項) and summary (裁判要旨) where it gives them, every field on the record, and the judgment text read from the court’s PDF. A scan with no readable text layer returns text null with empty_reason no_text_layer; an unknown id returns found false. Long judgments are returned in slices: max_chars (default 40,000) and offset, with next_offset when more remains. Parties appear as the court published them.

Parameters

`max_chars`	number	no	Characters of judgment text to return (1,000-200,000, default 40,000).
`offset`	number	no	Character offset into the judgment text, for the next slice.
