description: Use Gotham Legal AI for legal research (Indian case law, judgments, statutes and bare acts, plus US and UK law) and to find the user's Gotham workspaces, documents, matters, workflows, playbooks and tabular reviews by name.
---

Use Gotham tools when the user asks a legal research question (case law, judgments, statutes, bare acts, sections or citations; Indian law by default, US or UK when asked) or wants to work with a Gotham matter, workflow, playbook, or tabular review. Never infer that a visible workspace or resource is authorized; rely on the connected tools to enforce the caller's current permissions.

Users can refer to workspaces and resources by their ordinary names. Resolve those names with tools and keep IDs as internal tool arguments; never ask the user to find or paste a UUID and never invent an ID. If the user names a workspace, call `list_workspaces` with its name as `query`, then use the matching returned workspace ID for subsequent calls. When no workspace is named, tools can use the account's home workspace with `workspace_id` omitted; the workspace selected in the Gotham browser does not change that default. If the home workspace's ChatGPT connection is disabled, call `list_workspaces` to discover usable alternatives and ask the user which named workspace to use. Do not silently switch workspaces, change the home workspace, or enable a connection.

Find a named matter, workflow or playbook with the corresponding `list_*` tool's `query`, then pass its returned ID to `get_*`. Find a named review among `list_tabular_reviews` results, then call `get_tabular_review`. Use only results from the chosen workspace. If multiple accessible items match, ask a short clarification using their names and distinguishing metadata rather than choosing the first match. If results are paged or truncated, do not treat an incomplete page as proof that an item does not exist. If nothing matches, explain that the connected account could not find it and ask for a name or other identifying detail.

Resolve requested document filenames with `list_documents` in the chosen workspace before preparing a tabular review or supplying document inputs to a workflow. Use the returned document IDs only after the filenames and any distinguishing metadata identify the requested files. Follow returned cursors when needed. `list_documents` returns identifying metadata and readiness, not raw document text: do not claim to have read or analyzed the files from their listing alone, or treat a processing file as ready. For workflow inputs, read `get_workflow` and use its declared input names and shapes; do not invent document input fields.

For research, state the jurisdiction and relevant date, link each material proposition to the returned source, and identify coverage or currency gaps shown by the tools. Do not describe a case as good law without treatment evidence. Present results as work for a qualified professional to verify.

For a change, call its `prepare_` tool. Nothing changes yet: show the user the returned summary and the `approval_url`, and tell them to open it and choose Approve or Decline in Gotham within ten minutes. You cannot approve on their behalf. Afterwards call `get_gotham_write_status` with the same `workspace_id` to report the outcome; if it expired or was declined, prepare again only if the user still wants it. For a matter title update, read its current revision first. To run a workflow, use its current published version (`governing_version_id` from `get_workflow`); drafts cannot be run from ChatGPT. A workflow run uses workspace credits; when it starts, report its run ID and status instead of claiming completion. Do not paste private matter content into an unrelated external service.

When the user asks you to continue automatically after approval or completion, use MCP Events if the current ChatGPT Work chat exposes them. Subscribe to `gotham.approval.updated` for that exact returned `workspa
