Bloomberg Law

Yes, for filings you are entitled to. Two tools reach document content: docket_download_entry returns a docket entry as a formatted PDF, and docket_get_filing fetches a docket entry's PDF content for summarization or analysis. That is full document text crossing into the model's context, not a citation or an abstract, which makes the licensing terms below the operative constraint.

Not in general, and the connector is the licensed exception. Bloomberg Industry Group's subscription terms bar using Product content in prompts or for training, tuning or incorporating in any Language Model without its written consent, which it may withhold at sole discretion. Bloomberg operating this connector itself is what makes connector use sanctioned.

Two, and they draw a real boundary. The server's RFC 9728 descriptor advertised mcp:read and mcp:write on 2026-08-23, and the 401 challenge repeated both. Because every state-changing tool is an execute variant, the write scope maps onto exactly the operations that spend money or create subscriptions, which a read-only grant would exclude.

It should not, because Bloomberg gates spending behind a preview step. Four write tools each require a matching preview call first, and Bloomberg documents that Claude previews eligibility and any applicable cost and requires user confirmation before executing. Two dedicated tools, docket_get_docket_cost and docket_get_pleading_cost, exist purely to report price before you commit.

No. No tool among the 17 carries a delete, remove, cancel or unsubscribe verb, in either Anthropic's listing or Bloomberg's own published table. The write tools only create alerts and tracks, request filings, and refresh dockets. Removing a track or alert you created is not available through this connector and must be done in Bloomberg Law directly.

Names of real litigants, unavoidably. Court dockets identify parties, and docket_get_metadata returns court information, case details, parties and attorneys by design. Filing PDFs carry whatever the filers put in them. That is the corpus working as intended, but it means real personal data about identifiable people enters your agent's context on ordinary queries.

No. Bloomberg's documentation scopes the connector to dockets and directs you to use Bloomberg Law research tools directly for case law research or non-docket legal research. Judge analytics, litigation analytics and broader company intelligence are also excluded. Every one of the 17 tool names begins with a docket prefix, which matches that boundary exactly.
