`ca_ji_search`

Pack: california-jury-instructions · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

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

Find the official California jury instruction NUMBER for a claim, cause of action, or criminal charge by keyword — “breach of contract” -> CACI No. 303; “first degree murder” -> a CALCRIM number; “self-defense”, “negligence”, “false imprisonment”. Searches official instruction/verdict-form TITLES and series names across CACI (civil), CALCRIM (criminal), or both. Returns matching numbers/titles — call caci_lookup or calcrim_lookup with a number for the full text. This is a title search, not full-text search over instruction bodies. Keyless.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	yes	Claim, cause of action, or charge, e.g. “breach of contract” or “first degree murder”.
`set`	string	no	Restrict to “caci” (civil) or “calcrim” (criminal); default “both”.
`limit`	number	no	Max results to return, default 10, max 25.
