get_related_norms

Return generated relationship metadata for one norm when package relationships exist.

Parameters

Name Type Required Description
code string yes Law abbreviation (e.g. bgb).
norm string yes Canonical norm path or shorthand (e.g. 242 or par:242).

Returns

{
  code: string;
  norm: string;
  relationships: Array<{
    target_code: string;    // law code of the related norm
    target_norm: string;    // canonical norm path
    relationship_type: string;  // "references", "implements", "amends", etc.
    confidence: number;     // 0.0–1.0
  }>;
  has_relationships: boolean;
}

When the corpus was generated without the relationship step, has_relationships is false and relationships is an empty array.

Example

result = mcp_client.call_tool("get_related_norms", {"code": "bgb", "norm": "242"})

{
  "code": "bgb",
  "norm": "par:242",
  "relationships": [
    {
      "target_code": "bgb",
      "target_norm": "par:241",
      "relationship_type": "references",
      "confidence": 0.87
    }
  ],
  "has_relationships": true
}

Notes

  • Returns an empty relationships list when no relationships were generated for this norm, or when the corpus was generated without the relationship step.
  • has_relationships: false at the top level indicates the corpus has no relationship data at all (not just for this norm).
  • Relationship data is generated offline by the prepare_data/ pipeline and is not available in the fixture corpus.
