search_laws
Search AI laws
Find the AI-law rules (EU AI Act, US state AI laws, China, Korea and other markets) that apply to an AI feature
in a market, each with its cited provision and official link.
When to use: someone asks which laws, regulations or standards apply to what they are building, or where a kind of
AI feature is regulated (chatbot disclosure, hiring and employment decisions, credit or insurance decisions,
deepfakes and digital replicas, companion chatbots and minors, AI-generated content labels, training data).
jurisdictions: market codes (EU, US-CA, US-CO; US matches every state). features: AI integration patterns (chat,
rag, agentic, decision_pipeline, content_generation, classification, recommendation, embeddings). text: words to
match in rule titles, summaries and tags, such as "disclosure", "hiring" or "deepfake". Returns at most 10 rules,
most relevant first (the words matched, then the rules specific to the features, then binding law in force), each
with its lane, citation, official link, applies-from date and its page in the TwinEthos explorer. It does not sort
by date: use coming_into_force or recently_in_force for dates.
Limits: informational data, not legal advice.
Parameterstextlimitfeaturesjurisdictions
explain_rule
Explain a rule
One rule in plain terms: what it requires (TwinEthos's summary), who it applies to and the uses it excludes, its
dates, the exact citations with their official links, and the guard to add in one sentence.
When to use: after search_laws, or when someone names a rule id. It never returns the official text itself.
Limits: informational data, not legal advice.
Parametersrule_idrequired
plan_guards
Plan the guards
The few guards that address the most rules for these AI features and markets, ranked: each guard in one sentence,
how many rules it addresses by lane, and where binding law on it applies.
When to use: someone asks what to build first, or how to cover several markets at once. Returns at most 5 guards.
Limits: informational data, not legal advice.
Parameterslimitfeaturesjurisdictions
coming_into_force
AI law coming into force
Binding AI-law obligations that start applying soon, soonest first, with citation, official link and the guard
in one sentence.
When to use: someone asks what is coming, what to prepare for, or which AI laws take effect next year.
within_days: how far ahead to look (default 365, at most 730). Dates can change; returns at most 10, and `total`
says how many there are.
Limits: informational data, not legal advice.
Parameterslimitfeatureswithin_daysjurisdictions
recently_in_force
AI law recently in force
Binding AI-law obligations that started applying recently, newest first, with citation, official link and the
guard in one sentence.
When to use: someone asks what took effect recently, when the most recent AI law in a market started applying, or
what changed this year. within_days: how far back to look (default 180, at most 730). Each date is when a duty
started applying, not when the law was enacted; a later phase of a law already in force is marked as one.
Returns at most 10, and `total` says how many there are.
Limits: informational data, not legal advice.
