Pactlio MCP tools 7
list_contract_typesList all contract and legal document types Pactlio can generate, with descriptions, use cases, and USD prices. Start here to find the right contract type slug/id for other tools.get_jurisdiction_requirementsStatute-cited legal requirements, key differences, common pitfalls, terminology, and FAQs for a contract type in a specific US state or country. Use contract slug (e.g. "contractor-agreement") + jurisdiction slug (e.g. "california", "us", "uk", "eu-gdpr").check_non_compete_enforceabilityWhether a non-compete agreement is enforceable, limited, or void in a given US state (or DC), with salary thresholds and the key statute. Data covers all 50 states + DC.get_intake_questionsThe questions Pactlio asks to draft a specific contract type — use these to collect the information needed before calling start_contract_draft. Returns fields, types, options, and validation rules.start_contract_draftPrepare a contract draft with Pactlio's multi-agent AI engine (drafter, critic, compliance checker). Returns a preview_id and a URL. Generation (3-5 minutes) starts only when a human opens that URL in a browser — share it with your user, then poll get_draft_status. Free preview shows the opening sections; the full contract is unlocked by a human via checkout. Provide deal_summary fields collected via get_intake_questions (at minimum: parties, plus the required fields for the contract type). REQUIRES accept_terms: true — first confirm with your user that they accept the Pactlio Terms of Use and understand the output is an AI-generated draft for review, not legal advice.get_draft_statusCheck a contract draft from start_contract_draft. Returns "awaiting_human" until a person opens the preview URL, "pending" while generating. When complete, returns the free preview (opening sections), the titles of locked sections, and the URL where a human can pay to unlock the full contract.get_checkout_linkReturns the URL where a human can view the preview and pay to unlock the full contract for a draft created with start_contract_draft. Share this link with your user.
