# Veridictum Legal

> Deterministic verification of US legal citations against a corpus of court opinions.
> Regex extraction plus a three-tier lookup (cache, local corpus, CourtListener
> API). No language model anywhere in the verification path, so a verdict is
> reproducible rather than generated.

Agents pay per call with x402 (HTTP 402 + signed USDC). No API key, no account,
no rate limit - payment is the authentication.

## Paid endpoints

- [POST /api/v1/agent/verify](https://veridictum.legal/agents): one citation,
  $0.01 per call.
- [POST /api/v1/agent/verify/bulk](https://veridictum.legal/agents): up to
  50 citations, $0.10 flat per call.
- MCP tool `verify_citation_paid` at https://veridictum.legal/mcp/agent,
  $0.01 per call. Use that path, NOT
  https://veridictum.legal/mcp - the latter is a different MCP server carrying
  the free tools, and it answers 401 to a caller with a wallet and no OAuth
  token.

Networks: Base (eip155:8453), Solana (solana:5eykt4UsFv8P8NJdTREpY1vzqKqZKvdp).

## Three verdicts

- `verified` - the citation resolves to a real case, and any case name supplied
  matched it (`name_match: "confirmed"`).
- `suspicious` - the volume/reporter/page resolves, but to a DIFFERENT case than
  the name given (`name_match: "mismatch"`). This is the signature of a
  fabricated citation and is the most valuable answer this service returns.
- `not_found` - no case matches.

`verified: false` is a finding, not an error. Do not retry it.

## Docs

- [Agent documentation](https://veridictum.legal/agents): the 402 flow, the full
  request and response shapes, the price list, and how the accuracy figures were
  measured.
- [Terms of Service](https://veridictum.legal/terms): section 11 covers API, MCP
  and pay-per-call agent use. No SLA; a settled call buys that call and no
  capacity, priority or future availability beyond it.
- [Privacy Policy](https://veridictum.legal/privacy): x402 calls carry no
  account. Only the settlement is recorded - timestamp, route, network, payer
  wallet, amount, transaction hash - and nothing about the caller.
