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

Aggregate federal caseload statistics from the Federal Judicial Center’s Integrated Database (FJC IDB) — case counts by nature of suit (civil/appellate), offense code (criminal), disposition, fiscal year and district/circuit. Returns the TOTAL count first, then a breakdown grouped by whichever dimensions you ask for. Requires fiscal_year AND/OR district_or_circuit (an unfiltered query across every year and district cannot be answered accurately). Use this for “how many X cases were filed/terminated in district Y in year Z” questions — for a single case’s outcome use fjc_case_outcome_lookup instead. Periodic snapshot, refreshed on a schedule — the response carries data_as_of. Keyless.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`case_type`	string	yes	Which FJC IDB dataset to aggregate.
`fiscal_year`	number	no	Restrict to one FJC fiscal year (October-September; pre-1992 is July-June — see the pack README). Required if district_or_circuit is omitted.
`district_or_circuit`	string	no	FJC numeric district code (civil/criminal) or circuit code (appellate). Required if fiscal_year is omitted.
`nature_of_suit_code`	number	no	Civil/appellate only: FJC nature-of-suit code.
`offense_code`	string	no	Criminal only: FJC lead-offense code at filing.
`disposition_code`	number	no	FJC disposition code at termination.
`group_by`	array	no	Dimensions to break the total down by (default: nature_of_suit_code for civil/appellate, offense_code for criminal).
`items`	string	no
`limit`	number	no	Max breakdown rows to return, 1-200 (default 50).
