Frequently asked questions
How can I search for court cases involving a specific company?
Use the search_cases tool with a query like caseName:"Company Name". The agent will return a list of matching cases with their UniCourt IDs and basic details.
Can the AI automatically track a case for new updates?
Yes! By using the track_case tool with a specific caseId, you can set up automated monitoring. You can even specify a refreshWindow like '1d' for daily updates.
Is it possible to get professional background data for an attorney?
Absolutely. Use search_norm_attorney to find the attorney and then get_norm_attorney with their ID to retrieve detailed analytics and professional history.
How does Pydantic AI discover MCP tools?
Create an MCPServerHTTP instance with the server URL. Pydantic AI connects, discovers all tools, and generates typed Python interfaces automatically.
Does Pydantic AI validate MCP tool responses?
Yes. When you define result types as Pydantic models, every tool response is validated against the schema. Invalid data raises a clear error instead of silently corrupting your pipeline.
Can I switch LLM providers without changing MCP code?
Absolutely. Pydantic AI abstracts the model layer. your UniCourt MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
