Full Tool List
The complete catalog of tools available through the MCP server today.
Select a tool for its full description, every argument it accepts, and what to expect
from it.
How to read these tables. “Required” means information you need to provide to start a request, unless it is already available in the conversation. You can describe what you want in ordinary language; your assistant prepares the tool inputs and carries forward references from earlier results. Optional inputs let you tailor the request.
Prior-art searches, freedom-to-operate checks, claim charts, and standards assessments pause for your review by default. You can explicitly ask to skip intermediate reviews. For prior-art searches, you can also ask to start over or stop after preparing a particular step, such as the search query.

application_filewrapper combines office actions, other filed documents, and
publication details, but does not yet include activity from outside the US
prosecution record.
