Checked against the endpoint by our probe on 24 Aug 2026. These are the capabilities the server advertises, not a prediction about any particular client.

What the probe found
2 of the 18 tools listed anonymously say in their own descriptions that they need an account or a key (list_monitored_cases_tool, list_plans_tool), but the endpoint issued no WWW-Authenticate challenge. The requirement is stated only in prose, so a call reaches the tool and comes back as a tool error instead of an authorization step.
A cross-origin preflight came back without Access-Control-Allow-Origin, so the endpoint is reachable from native clients only — code running in a web page is stopped by the browser before a request is ever sent.
The server exposes a public surface before authorization: search_bankruptcy_cases_tool, get_case_by_ein_tool, get_case_by_case_number_tool, get_cases_by_industry_tool, get_cases_by_naics_tool, get_cases_by_state_tool, get_cases_by_date_range_tool, get_docket_entries_tool, get_case_summary_tool, get_document_cost_tool, get_document_tool, list_monitored_cases_tool, add_monitored_case_tool, refresh_docket_tool, get_recent_developments_tool, list_plans_tool, purchase_plan_tool, check_subscription_tool.
