Fetch one RIS document’s full text or its rendition URLs, with explicit binding status and the amtssigniert authentic PDF surfaced wherever it exists. Address the document exactly one of two ways: document_number plus application (both copied verbatim from a ris_search_* or ris_lookup_citation result), or a document_url from a result’s content_urls — or, for a draft’s companion documents (Erläuterungen, Textgegenüberstellung, WFA, cover letter, annexes), a ris_search_drafts record’s materials[].url, which is the only route to them. format: markdown (default — the HTML rendition converted to markdown), html (raw HTML rendition), xml (the RIS Nutzdaten XML), or urls_only (no fetch — every rendition URL, including the Authentisch PDF). Format availability varies by application and the tool degrades explicitly, never silently: consolidated law, gazettes, case law, drafts, and most sectoral collections carry full text; district and municipal promulgations and court rules (Bvb, GrA, KmGer) publish only the signed authentic PDF; party-transparency decisions and council minutes (Upts, Mrp) are PDF-only; the 1848–1940 imperial gazettes (BgblAlt) are metadata-only — for these a text-format request returns a format_unavailable notice with the usable URL, not an error. Every result carries binding_status; only authentic (amtssigniert) publications are legally binding. This tool returns content, not fresh metadata — the metadata rides the search/lookup step that produced the document number. When the markdown text overflows the 40,000-byte budget the tool returns an outline (kind: outline) instead of truncating: the document’s §/Artikel/Anlage sections where it carries at least two such headings, otherwise contiguous byte windows named Part 1 of N … Part N of N covering the whole text and listed in document order. Re-call with sections:[…] naming outline entries to retrieve just those; a name matching no entry returns the outline again with a notice rather than the whole document. Windows are cut at line breaks, not at sentence or § boundaries, so one can open mid-sentence — read them in order and pull the neighbour when a passage straddles a cut. Raw html and xml renditions are never sliced: at or under the 40,000-byte budget they return whole; over it the result is kind: link — no text, truncated: true, the full byte_size, and content_urls, whose html or xml entry fetches the whole artifact in one GET. Every HTML rendition opens with a 40–70 KB stylesheet, so html practically always returns kind: link — read with markdown, parse with xml, and fetch content_urls.html for the authentic markup. Markdown drops the screen-reader expansions RIS ships alongside each abbreviated citation, keeping the visible citation form, and prints each Absatz, Ziffer, and litera under its own statutory label — (1a), 2., b) — with no generated list number in front; raw html/xml renditions are returned exactly as published.
markdown (default — the HTML rendition converted to markdown, and the format for reading), html (raw HTML rendition), xml (RIS Nutzdaten schema), or urls_only (no fetch — all rendition URLs incl. the authentic PDF). html and xml over 40,000 bytes return kind: link with no text — nearly every html rendition does, since each carries a 40–70 KB stylesheet — so fetch content_urls.html or content_urls.xml for the whole artifact.
Entry names to retrieve, each copied verbatim from a prior outline response (kind: outline) — §/Artikel/Anlage section names, or window names of the form "Part 2 of 6". Omit for the full document, which returns an outline instead when the markdown overflows the 40,000-byte budget. A name that matches no entry is never silently ignored: a total miss returns the outline (kind: outline) with a notice, a partial miss returns the matched entries with a notice naming others to pick from. Applies to markdown only. html and xml are never sliced — the selector is ignored with a notice, and they return whole under the 40,000-byte budget and as kind: link over it; urls_only carries no text to select from.
RIS application the document belongs to (e.g. BrKons, Dsk, BgblAuth) — copy verbatim from the same result. Required with document_number. Codes and coverage: ris_list_reference topic applications.
A /Dokumente/… rendition URL on https://www.ris.bka.gv.at or https://ogd.ris.bka.gv.at, passed exactly as a result’s content_urls returned it — the alternative to document_number + application. Also the only way to read a draft’s companion documents: pass a ris_search_drafts record’s materials[].url (the Erläuterungen, Textgegenüberstellung, WFA, cover letter, or annex), whose filenames are opaque and per-record and so cannot be reached through document_number. Every companion filename RIS publishes is accepted, whichever shape it carries. The URL’s own extension is only checked against the rendition extensions RIS uses and is then discarded — format selects which rendition is returned, for a companion exactly as for a main document. A filename that is neither this document’s own rendition nor one of its companions is rejected; companion filenames cannot be composed by hand, so copy one verbatim.
Technical RIS document number (Technisch.ID), e.g. NOR40262691, JJT_…, BGBLA_2026_II_171 — copy verbatim from a ris_search_* or ris_lookup_citation result. Requires application; mutually exclusive with document_url.

Ground the opaque German codes across the RIS surface — static and offline, no upstream call. Topics: applications (all 39, with coverage windows, binding status, and content formats), courts (17 codes with Geschäftszahl examples and successor mapping), states (the three Bundesland request spellings), decision_types, decision_kinds (per-court Entscheidungsart values), issuing_bodies (dsk/dok/pvak/verg bodies and social-insurance issuers), ministries (abbreviations and full designations, historical included), collections (the 7 announcement collections and their parameter matrix), stages (lawmaking pipeline), changed_since_intervals, section_types, gazette_parts (BGBl parts and era tiers), law_types, district_authorities (all Bezirksverwaltungsbehörden), justiz_subject_areas (Fachgebiet taxonomy), search_syntax (operators and wildcard rules), and citation_formats (the shapes ris_lookup_citation parses).

}Resolve a single Austrian legal citation to its canonical RIS document deterministically — no keyword search. Four routes are auto-detected from the citation shape (or forced with kind): a norm citation — section-first ("§ 6 DSG", "Art 10 B-VG"), abbreviation-first ("DSG §1", "EMRK Art8", the shape ris_search_case_law returns in norms_cited; a comma-joined entry like "DSG §1, §24", or one joining full norms with ". " like "ZPO §179. ZPO §275 Abs2", resolves its first provision and names the rest), or a bare abbreviation like "ABGB" or "1. COVID-19-JuBG", with sub-provisions (Abs, Z, lit, "(1)"), the version a law is cited in ("ABGB idF 2. ErwSchG §254", "ABGB aF §140"), and a terminal ";" dropped, and a long title read by its short form after the dash ("StaatsanwaltschaftsG - StAG §35") — resolves through consolidated federal law, or a Bundesland with a state hint, as in force today or on in_force_as_of, while an EU act RIS does not consolidate (DSGVO, the Charter, EuGVVO, the EC Treaty as EG, EGV, or EG-Vertrag), or an EU act cited by its number ("RL 2006/123/EG", "VO (EG) 178/2002"), returns found: false pointing to EUR-Lex without a search; a gazette citation ("BGBl. I Nr. 165/1999", year-first "BGBl I 2018/24", pre-2004 "BGBl. Nr. 194/1961", imperial "RGBl. Nr. 189/1902", "StGBl. Nr. 1/1945", or "LGBl. Nr. 61/2026" with a state hint) routes to the right federal era tier by year — the 1945 Staatsgesetzblatt sits in the 1945–2003 tier beside the BGBl. — or to a state Landesgesetzblatt — falling back to that Bundesland’s pre-e-Recht series when the citation predates its switch; a case number ("Ro 2026/03/0016", "G 287/2022", "14Os49/26a", "2025-0.934.677", "W256 …") is matched to its court — a leading VfGH, VwGH, OGH, BVwG, or DSB names it ("VfGH G 13/2025"), court skips detection, and ambiguous formats probe up to two courts; an ECLI ("ECLI:AT:VFGH:2026:G13.2025") resolves to the decision that carries it; a collection number ("VfSlg 19.632/2012", "VwSlg 18.000 A/2010") resolves through the VfGH/VwGH collection — a VwSlg cite given without its part letter can name one decision in each of the two VwGH series, and comes back as ambiguous with both cites named rather than resolved to one of them. Matches are ranked before one is picked: a norm resolves to the hit whose abbreviation is the cited one, then the cited one plus a year ("EStG" → EStG 1988), then the cited one without a year RIS’s abbreviation omits, when the law’s short title carries it ("AlVG 1977" → AlVG), the exact §/Artikel label ahead of a prefixed one ("§ 1" before "Art. 2 § 1"), and a cite whose year matches nothing ("VwGVG 2014 §28") is searched once more without it, taking only the law filed under the cited abbreviation without that year and first promulgated no later than it ("VwGVG 2014" → VwGVG, not "AVG 1950" → the AVG of 1991), for a year no later than in_force_as_of’s; a case number resolves to the decision text, then to a Rechtssatz that decision leads; a gazette cite resolves only to an entry of the gazette it names (StGBl. and BGBl. share numbers in 1945, as the older gazettes do in their changeover years); and a "BGBl. Nr." cite without its part that matches more than one of parts I/II/III (from 1997 they reuse numbers) comes back as ambiguous with each part named. Returns the single best-matching document in the same shape as the corresponding search tool, with alternatives_count when more than one matched. A citation that cannot be classified or resolved returns found: false with next-step guidance — it never throws for a miss; only an upstream RIS outage is an error. For keyword rather than citation lookup, use ris_search_legislation or ris_search_case_law.
Search Austria’s sectoral official gazettes and executive documents — seven collections behind one collection enum: social_insurance (Amtliche Verlautbarungen der Sozialversicherung, authentic), veterinary (Amtliche Veterinärnachrichten, authentic), court_rules (Kundmachungen der Gerichte — rules of procedure and case-allocation plans, authentic; currently LVwG Tirol and Vorarlberg only), trade_exam_rules (Prüfungsordnungen gemäß Gewerbeordnung, authentic), health_structure_plans (Strukturpläne Gesundheit — federal ÖSG and per-state RSG, authentic), ministerial_decrees (Erlässe der Bundesministerien — decrees interpreting law; bind the administration, not citizens), and council_minutes (Ministerratsprotokolle — council-of-ministers session records). Each collection accepts a different filter set: query and title are broadly available; number, published_from/to, in_force_as_of, issuer (ministry and social-insurance carrier abbreviations expanded), norm ("decrees citing the DSG"), case_number, type, department, plan_type/plan_state (health plans), session_number/legislature (council minutes), and changed_since (all but social_insurance and veterinary) apply where the collection supports them — a filter outside its set is rejected locally. Every result carries a binding label, the authentic PDF where it exists, and the RIS web view (document_url) — the only browsable surface for the PDF-only council minutes and for ministerial decrees. Per-collection parameter matrix and issuers: ris_list_reference topic collections or issuing_bodies.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| norm | string | Cited-provision filter (Norm) — "DSG §1", "DSGVO Art32" style. veterinary and ministerial_decrees only ("decrees citing the DSG"). Omit to leave unfiltered; a blank value is rejected. |

Search Austrian case law (Judikatur) in ONE court or tribunal per call — court is required: vfgh (Constitutional Court), vwgh (Supreme Administrative Court), justiz (ordinary courts incl. OGH, selected decisions), bvwg (federal administrative), lvwg (state administrative), dsk (data protection authority), normenliste (VwGH norm index), dok, pvak, gbk, verg, upts (party transparency), and the historical uvs, asylgh, ubas, umse, bks. Cross-court research is one call per court (calls are cheap); historical bodies are closed windows with successors — codes, windows, and Geschäftszahl examples: ris_list_reference topic courts. Filter by full-text query, cited norm ("DSG §1", "DSGVO Art32" — the highest-value filter), exact case_number (Geschäftszahl), decision date range, decision_type (headnote vs full text), decision_kind, or the court-conditional filters: issuing_body (dsk/dok/pvak/verg), court_name/legal_area/subject_area (justiz), state (lvwg/uvs), party (upts), commission/senate/discrimination_ground (gbk), subject_law (bks), collection_number (vfgh/vwgh/uvs). For a known Geschäftszahl, ECLI, or VfSlg/VwSlg cite, ris_lookup_citation resolves it directly.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| norm | string | Cited-provision filter (Norm) — "DSG §1", "DSGVO Art32", "GewO 1994 §129", matching the format returned in norms_cited. The highest-value case-law filter. Omit to leave unfiltered; a blank value is rejected. |

Search Austria’s federal lawmaking pipeline BEFORE promulgation — the monitoring counterpart to ris_search_gazette (what will become law). stage selects the phase: review_drafts (Begutachtungsentwürfe — draft laws a ministry has put into public review, before any government bill exists) or government_bills (Regierungsvorlagen — bills the council of ministers adopted and submitted to parliament, 2004+). Filter by query (full text), title, ministry (accepts an abbreviation like "BMF" — expanded to RIS’s exact designation; the historical name at submission time counts), in_review_on (review_drafts only — drafts whose review window covers the date; today = "what is in Begutachtung right now"), or decided_from/to (government_bills only — council adoption date). changed_since gives coarse recency. Each record carries materials — the companion documents filed with the draft (Erläuterungen, Textgegenüberstellung, Vorblatt/WFA, covering letter, annexes); the Erläuterungen carry the drafting reasoning the bill text omits, and passing a materials[].url to ris_get_document as document_url is the only way to read one (format there picks the rendition returned). Documents are preparatory, not binding law. Ministry codes: ris_list_reference topic ministries.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| page | integer | 1-based result page. Default 1. |
| query | string | Full-text search (Suchworte). Boolean operators UND/ODER/NICHT or AND/OR/NOT, parentheses, quoted phrases; wildcard * is trailing-only. Omit to leave unfiltered; a blank value is rejected. |
| stage* | string | Which pipeline stage to search — one per call. review_drafts (Begut, ministerial review) or government_bills (RegV, council-adopted bills). Details: ris_list_reference topic stages. |
Browse Austria’s promulgation record — the authentic, legally binding gazettes — at every level of government. scope picks the jurisdiction: federal (default; the Bundesgesetzblatt across three era tiers auto-routed by year — BgblAuth 2004+ authentic, BgblPdf 1945–2003, BgblAlt 1848–1940 metadata-only ÖNB scans; one call serves one tier, so a published_from/published_to interval crossing 2004-01-01 or 1945-01-01 is rejected with the boundaries to split at, and RIS carries no federal gazette for 1941–1944), one Bundesland (its Landesgesetzblatt), district (Bezirke promulgations), or municipal (Gemeinde promulgations). For a state scope, series selects law gazettes (law_gazette, the default → LGBl) vs ordinance gazettes (ordinance_gazette → Verordnungsblätter, currently Tirol only), and state_era picks which era of that series to search: current (the default → the authentic LGBl) or legacy (the state’s earlier non-authentic series — Niederösterreich’s systematic LgblNO, or the older Lgbl elsewhere; Wien carries neither, and ordinance gazettes have no legacy series). Filter by query (full text), title, number ("171/2026" — a pre-2004 number auto-routes to the right era tier), part (federal I/II/III or pre_1997), type (laws/regulations/announcements/other), published_from/to, issuer (federal or ordinance gazettes only), district_authority (district only), or municipality (municipal only). Every result carries a binding label (authentic vs historical_record vs consolidated_informational) and the amtssigniert authentic PDF wherever it exists — the binding artifact, never a paraphrase. For one known gazette number, ris_lookup_citation resolves it directly. Coverage windows, era tiers, and part semantics: ris_list_reference topic applications or gazette_parts.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| page | integer | 1-based result page. Default 1. |
| part | string | Federal only. part1 (Gesetze) | part2 (Verordnungen) | part3 (Staatsverträge) — parts exist from 1997; pre_1997 searches the older partless BGBl (routes to the 1945–2003 tier). Semantics: ris_list_reference topic gazette_parts. |
Search Austrian consolidated law and English translations: federal law (scope: federal, the default), one Bundesland (scope: burgenland … wien), municipal law (municipality plus a state scope — selected norms in 6 Bundesländer), or English translations of selected federal laws (language: english, federal only, ~138 documents). One document is one § / Artikel / Anlage; fetch a whole law by filtering law_id. Searches apply the version in force today in Austria by default — set in_force_as_of for another date, include_all_versions: true for full version history, or an entered_force / left_force window for new-law and repeal tracking; the three version filters are mutually exclusive, and the applied date is echoed back in the result. query is full text (boolean UND/ODER/NICHT or AND/OR/NOT, trailing-only * wildcard); title matches title, short title, and abbreviation ("DSG"). For a specific citation like "§ 6 DSG", ris_lookup_citation resolves it deterministically instead. Consolidated text is informational, not legally binding — the authentic gazette artifact lives in ris_search_gazette.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| page | integer | 1-based result page. Default 1. |
| index | string | Systematik classification filter (e.g. "10/10 Datenschutz"). Federal/state consolidated law only. Omit to leave unfiltered; a blank value is rejected. |
| query | string | Full-text search (Suchworte). Boolean operators UND/ODER/NICHT or AND/OR/NOT, parentheses, quoted phrases; wildcard * is trailing-only ("Datenschutz*", never "*schutz"). Syntax: ris_list_reference topic search_syntax. Omit to leave unfiltered; a blank value is rejected. |
| scope |
Track every document added or changed in one RIS application within an exact date window (changed_from/changed_to), optionally including deletions (include_deleted) — the delta-sync and monitoring primitive for mirrors and watchers, and the only surface that reports removals. Unlike the search tools’ coarse, additive-only changed_since intervals, this is exact-dated and deletion-aware. application accepts every RIS application code listed by ris_list_reference topic applications, including BrKons, LrKons, Dsk, and BgblAuth. Each changed document comes back in a compact cross-class record — document_number (for ris_get_document), title, the section_label, law_id, and in-force window (in_force_from/in_force_until) of a consolidated-law row or the case_numbers and decision_date of a court decision, dates, binding_status, and rendition URLs — plus its last-changed date; removed documents come back as deleted records with a deletion timestamp. One application per call; page explicitly for large windows.

| page_size | integer | Documents per page, 1–100 (default 20). Served as a page of 10 (1–10) or 20 (11–100), with a notice when that differs. For more results, keep the size and raise page. |
| changed_to | string | Include documents changed on/before this date (YYYY-MM-DD, AenderungenBis). |
| application* | string | RIS application whose change feed to read, e.g. BrKons, LrKons, Dsk, or BgblAuth. All supported codes: ris_list_reference topic applications. |
| document_number | string | Technical RIS document number (Technisch.ID), e.g. NOR40262691, JJT_…, BGBLA_2026_II_171 — copy verbatim from a ris_search_* or ris_lookup_citation result. Requires application; mutually exclusive with document_url. |

The URL’s own extension is only checked against the rendition extensions RIS uses and is then discarded — format selects which rendition is returned, for a companion exactly as for a main document. A filename that is neither this document’s own rendition nor one of its companions is rejected; companion filenames cannot be composed by hand, so copy one verbatim."

| citation* | string | The legal citation to resolve, e.g. "§ 6 DSG" or "DSG §1", "Art 10 B-VG", "BGBl. I Nr. 165/1999" or "BGBl I 2018/24", "Ro 2026/03/0016" or "VfGH G 13/2025", "ECLI:AT:VFGH:2026:G13.2025", or "VfSlg 19.632/2012". |
| in_force_as_of | string | For a norm, resolve the version in force on this date (YYYY-MM-DD). Defaults to today in Austria. |
