In shortThree MCP tools read public policies, compare services, and identify answer changes. Results carry source quotes and a reading date; a refusal names the reason.

Policy analysis tools for AI agents.

Give your assistant a consistent answer to a policy question without putting the whole document in its context. Policy Pal reads the page, checks every stated claim against its source, and returns a compact report an agent can cite.

When should an agent call Policy Pal?

• Before a user accepts a policy: check_policy(url) returns a qualitative verdict, eight fixed answers, and up to five consequential findings.
• When comparing services: compare_policies(urls) answers the same questions across two to five public policy pages and names any it could not read.
• When a user asks what changed: policy_changes_since(url, since) compares today's answers with an earlier reading, or says when no earlier reading exists.

What makes an answer usable?

Every stated claim includes a verbatim quote. A question the document does not answer is not stated, never a promise inferred from silence. Each report says when it was read; a corpus result may be older than the current page. A document that is not a legal agreement is refused without charge. The result is an automated reading, not legal advice or a numeric rating.

How do I connect an MCP client?

Use the Streamable HTTP endpoint https://api.policypal.link/mcp. The machine-readable manifest lists the tool schemas, current payment mode, and limits. The tools accept public HTTPS policy URLs; they do not read private files or a user's browser installation. A person who wants to analyze a document they were sent uses the extension’s private-document flow instead.

What does an agent pay?

During preview, calls are free up to 50 per caller per day, with a separate shared limit on fresh readings. When card funding is enabled, the first successful call is free. Further calls use prepaid balance: $0.01 when the corpus can answer, $0.06 when Policy Pal must fetch and read, and nothing for a refusal. A card can add $5.00 of balance, or the $0.50 minimum; the result includes a receipt and the remaining balance. The manifest is authoritative for the current mode.

Where can I verify a result?

The quote points back to the source document. A report includes readAt and may include citeAs when a public report page exists. Cite the dated policy and its sentence when answering a person, and use policy_changes_since when freshness matters. Read the citation and crawler rules.
