Tools
The tools DocketDrafter exposes to the assistant and what each tool does.
The assistant calls these tools on your behalf. You never call them directly; this page shows what DocketDrafter can do, so you know exactly what the assistant is acting on.
| Tool | What it does | Changes data? |
|---|---|---|
get_authoring_guide | Reads the drafting guide (document types + format) | Read-only |
edit_document | Creates a document or edits an existing one | Writes |
view_document | Re-reads a document's current text | Read-only |
A fourth tool, fetch_document_artifact, is internal: the in-chat preview uses it to load the rendered preview and .docx. The assistant does not call it.
get_authoring_guide
Read-only. Returns the drafting guide the assistant follows: the document format and the structure of each filing type DocketDrafter supports. The assistant reads this before drafting so the output matches the required format.
edit_document
Writes. This is how documents are created and revised. It can:
- Create a document from the assistant's draft, which opens the in-chat preview.
- Edit an existing document with an exact, in-place change, which refreshes the preview.
It creates and edits your own drafts in place. It does not delete documents or touch anything outside the document being drafted.
view_document
Read-only. Returns the current text of a document so the assistant can re-read it before making an edit.
Permissions and review
Every tool runs only after you have connected and signed in, and only against documents in your own organization. The assistant proposes drafts and edits; you review the preview and download the .docx yourself. See Authentication & permissions.
