Read in layers, not all at once
An agent deciding whether a document is worth reading shouldn’t pay for the whole document. Each layer is a separate call, cheap enough to run across the full candidate set. Real numbers.
（2022）湘0902刑初12号A statute reads the same way: retrieve → brief → article → context → raw. Article 266 alone is ~250 characters.
中华人民共和国刑法Filters that match how lawyers search
Statutes
jurisdiction (ISO3), law_id, law_type, domain, status, norm_type, effective date, language
Cases
case_nature, cause, province, city, court_level, trial_round, date, law_refs, amount range, sentence months, probation
Facets
GET /law/facets and GET /case/facets return every legal value with counts, so an agent never guesses a filter value
Coverage & bias notice
Coverage & bias notice
Chinese criminal judgments are fully indexed. Civil judgments are ~12% indexed and the sample is not random — it follows the enrichment queue. Every Law response carries a coverage block that says so; put it in your tool description so the agent qualifies civil-case claims. Until enrichment completes, treat civil retrieval as indicative, not exhaustive.
