Search 13,000+ US vaccine court (VICP) decisions: cases, court text, statistics, attorneys. Free.

Captured live from the server via tools/list.

search_cases

Search VICP cases with structured filters. - query: free text matched against petitioner identifier, condition, package id, caption name and the AI case summary. - vaccine: canonical vaccine name (use get_filters() for valid values, e.g. "Influenza (flu)", "DTaP/DPT", "MMR", "COVID-19", "Hepatitis B"). - condition_category / outcome: exact values from get_filters(). - pediatric_only uses the broad pediatric cohort definition (is_minor OR is_minor_inferred OR age<18) — strict age-only filtering undercounts pediatric cases substantially. - dates are ISO strings (YYYY-MM-DD); awards are USD integers. - sort: decision_date_desc|decision_date_asc|filed_asc|filed_desc|award_desc|award_asc - Returns total match count plus one page of compact case records with canonical URLs. Use get_case(package_id) for the full record.

get_case

Get the complete curated record for one case by package_id. Includes the AI-assisted case summary, all extracted fields, attorney and special master, plus links: canonical page, plain-text source bundle, and per-document PDF links where available.

Parameters1

package_id

string

required

Raw schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "package_id": {
      "title": "Package Id",
      "type": "string"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "package_id"
  ],
  "title": "get_caseArguments"
}

get_case_text

Get the staged plain text of a case's public court documents. Long decisions can exceed 100 pages; the text is returned in chunks. Use offset_chars from the previous response's next_offset to page through. max_chars is capped at 50,000.

Parameters3

package_id	string	required
offset_chars	integer	optional
max_chars	integer	optional

Raw schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "package_id": {
      "title": "Package Id",
      "type": "string"
    },
    "offset_chars": {
      "default": 0,
      "title": "Offset Chars",
      "type": "integer"
    },
    "max_chars": {
      "default": 25000,
      "title": "Max Chars",
      "type": "integer"
    }
  },
  "required": [
    "package_id"
  ],
  "title": "get_case_textArguments"
}

get_filters

List all valid filter values: canonical vaccine names (with case counts), condition categories, outcomes, special masters, and the dataset's date range. Call this before filtering so you use real values instead of guessing.

Parameters

No parameters.

Raw schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {},
  "title": "get_filtersArguments"
}

get_statistics

Aggregate statistics over the case corpus, optionally filtered. group_by: vaccine | condition | outcome | year | special_master Returns per-group: total cases, compensated count, compensation rate, death count, and median award among compensated cases (awards over $10M excluded from the median due to a known unit-extraction bug). IMPORTANT framing: these describe the VICP case-record dataset, not vaccine-safety rates in the general population.

Parameters5

group_by	string	optional
vaccine	any	optional
condition_category	any	optional
is_death	any	optional
pediatric_only	boolean	optional
