    va_denial_statsCorpus-wide VA appeal statistics from 1.9 million public Board of Veterans' Appeals decisions, 1992 to present, updated nightly: how every decided issue came out (granted / denied / remanded / dismissed / other), the year-by-year trend, and the most-litigated conditions with their own shares. Rates are shares of ALL decided issues, so they sum to 100%, and they use complete crawl years only (an all-years block is included and labelled). Aggregate data only — contains no individual veteran's information.
    va_condition_intelligenceReal Board of Veterans' Appeals outcome data for one VA condition, from 1.9 million public BVA decisions, 1992 to present, updated nightly: the share of decided issues GRANTED / DENIED / REMANDED / DISMISSED (shares of all decided issues, so they sum to 100%; complete years, with an all-years block labelled separately), the year-by-year trend, which kinds of evidence went with a grant versus without, the denial reasons tagged in a smaller hand-tagged sample (labelled with its own n), and the legal authorities most cited. Aggregate data only — no PII, and a base rate for appealed cases, not a prediction for one veteran. Args: condition: VA condition keyword, e.g. 'ptsd', 'tinnitus', 'sleep apnea', 'back', 'knee', 'depression', 'gerd', 'migraines'. An unmatched value returns the list of valid condition keys.
    va_top_authoritiesThe legal authorities most frequently cited across the public Board of Veterans' Appeals corpus (1.9 million decisions, 1992 to present, updated nightly) — case law (e.g. Gilbert v. Derwinski for benefit-of-the-doubt, DeLuca, Correia, Sharp), 38 C.F.R. regulations, or 38 U.S.C. statutes — ranked by the number of DISTINCT decisions that cite them. Useful for explaining which precedents actually carry VA appeals. The response carries a 'basis' string saying exactly what was counted and over how many decisions; read it before quoting a number. Aggregate data only — no PII. Args: kind: 'cases' (default), 'regulations', or 'statutes'. condition: optional condition keyword (e.g. 'ptsd', 'tinnitus', 'back') to rank authorities within that condition's decisions only. limit: how many to return, 1-100 (default 25).
    va_evidence_that_winsMEASURED evidence-vs-outcome data for one VA condition, from the full text of the public BVA archive (1.8M+ decisions): for each kind of evidence — a positive nexus opinion, a private physician letter/DBQ, buddy statements, service treatment records that document the condition (or are silent), a Board hearing, and how the Board read the record (credibility, benefit of the doubt, inadequate exam) — how often the issue was GRANTED when the record had it versus when it did not, with the raw fractions. Single-issue decisions only, so each evidence flag attaches to exactly one decided issue. Use this to say which missing evidence has historically mattered most and by how much; it is an association in appealed cases, not a prediction. Aggregate data only — no PII. Args: condition: VA condition keyword, e.g. 'ptsd', 'sleep apnea', 'back', 'knee', 'tinnitus'. benefit: 'service_connection' (default), 'increased_rating', 'tdiu', 'effective_date', or 'all'.
    va_manual_changesRecent changes to the VA M21-1 adjudication manual and its sibling VBA manuals — the changelog VA does not publish. VetAid archives every KnowVA article version weekly and diffs them; each change carries what was added and removed, a link to the current official article, and the conditions and claim topics it touches. Use this when asked whether a VA rule changed recently, or when a claim's stage (exams, nexus, TDIU, SMC, effective dates, Higher-Level Review, Supplemental Claims, Board appeals) may be affected. Args: condition: optional condition keyword to filter by (e.g. 'ptsd', 'hearing'). topic: optional claim topic: tdiu, smc, effective_date, cue, hlr, supplemental_claim, board_appeal, intent_to_file, presumption, secondary, exams, nexus, lay_evidence, strs, dic, pension, pact, reduction, duty_to_assist, rating_schedule. since: optional ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD); only changes whose new version is dated on/after it.
    list_my_va_casesList the veteran's OWN VA cases (read-only). Requires the veteran's personal VetAid agent key in the request's Authorization header (Bearer vak_...). Returns each case's id, status, timestamps, and its rated / denied / claimed conditions. Only ever returns the key owner's data.
    get_my_case_analysisGet a per-stage analysis SUMMARY for one of the veteran's OWN cases (read-only; never runs a paid analysis). Requires the veteran's personal VetAid agent key in the request's Authorization header (Bearer vak_...). Returns 'not found' for any case the key owner does not own — no cross-user access. Args: case_id: The id of one of the veteran's own cases (from list_my_va_cases).
    get_my_vetaid_accountCheck the veteran's VetAid plan and remaining analysis credits BEFORE running an analysis (so you can tell them if they need to buy a credit). Requires the veteran's personal agent key (Bearer vak_...). Read-only.
    run_my_case_analysisRUN the full VetAid analysis pipeline on one of the veteran's OWN cases, ON THE VETERAN'S BEHALF. This SPENDS one of the veteran's analysis credits (free plan: first 2 free, then $9.99 each) and takes ~5-8 minutes — afterward poll get_my_case_analysis(case_id) for the results. Requires a WRITE-scoped agent key: the veteran must have created the key with the 'Allow running analyses' (read_write) scope. A read-only key returns a 'read-only key' error; out of credits returns 'no credits'; a case the key owner does not own returns 'not found' (no cross-user access). Consider calling get_my_vetaid_account() first to confirm a credit is available. Args: case_id: The id of one of the veteran's own cases (from list_my_va_cases).
