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

Search Austrian case law (Judikatur) by full-text words, Geschäftszahl, and/or decision date range, in exactly one court family: “vfgh” (Verfassungsgerichtshof, constitutional court), “vwgh” (Verwaltungsgerichtshof, supreme administrative court), or “justiz” (ordinary courts — OGH plus OLG/LG/BG). Defaults to decision texts (doc_type “entscheidungstext”); pass doc_type “rechtssatz” to search headnote summaries instead. Returns each decision’s Geschäftszahl, ECLI, decision date, legal/subject area and headnote. Source: Bundeskanzleramt (Austria), Rechtsinformationssystem (RIS), Judikatur. Pass geschaeftszahl, ecli or document_id to at_get_decision for the full original-language text.
