Judges

Configure when The Court convenes and what its verdicts do. These tools manage the Intelligent Authorization depth — refer to Intelligent Depth for the conceptual model. All Judges tools require workspace context.

Renamed from dome_moot_* in the 2026-06 release. Update saved agent configs and tool allowlists — the old names are no longer registered.

Get workspace mode

dome_judges_get_workspace_mode Return the active workspace’s current Court config: convening trigger, effect, escalate_no_match, strict_audit_convene, the legacy mode mirror, and last-changed metadata. A workspace with no settings row returns mode=disabled (graceful default).

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
—	—	—	No parameters

Permission: judges.view

Update workspace mode

dome_judges_update_workspace_mode Set the active workspace’s Court config. Either pass the structured trigger (recommended) or the legacy mode (back-compat). When convening is set, it is authoritative and mode is ignored. policy_escalation convenes the Court on a deterministic permit/forbid whose bundle carries a matching court-scope marker. effect=audit observes without overriding; effect=live applies the verdict under the directional clamp. A @court("strict") pin on a determining policy always forces the deterministic outcome — the Court can never move it. By default a strict pin suppresses the Court entirely; set strict_audit_convene to true to still convene observe-only and record an audit ruling. Refer to Resolve Access Ambiguity.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`convening`	string	No	Trigger: `disabled`, `no_match`, `policy_escalation`, `all`, or `judge_policy`
`effect`	string	No	Effect once convened: `audit` (default) or `live`
`escalate_no_match`	bool	No	`policy_escalation` only — also convene on no_match (default `true`)
`strict_audit_convene`	bool	No	`judge_policy` / `all` only — convene observe-only on `@court("strict")` pins to record an audit ruling (default `false` = suppress)
`mode`	string	No	Legacy single-axis fallback: `disabled`, `audit`, or `live`. Ignored when `convening` is set

Permission: judges.manage

Convene on policy escalation, apply verdicts live

{
  "name": "dome_judges_update_workspace_mode",
  "arguments": {
    "convening": "policy_escalation",
    "effect": "live",
    "escalate_no_match": false
  }
}

Legacy single-axis mode (back-compat)

{
  "name": "dome_judges_update_workspace_mode",
  "arguments": {
    "mode": "audit"
  }
}

convening=all + effect=live runs a full Court deliberation on every governed decision (~14–18s added per call). Pair all with effect=audit for high-coverage shadow validation without affecting agent latency.

List rulings

dome_judges_list_rulings List Court rulings, newest first. Each ruling carries the deterministic baseline (tier_breakdown.tier0) the Court convened on plus the final outcome — overrules are visible by comparing the two.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`outcome`	string	No	Filter by Court outcome: `permit`, `forbid`, `court_unavailable`
`agent_id`	string	No	Filter by agent UUID
`vote_split`	string	No	`unanimous` or `split`
`start_time`	RFC3339	No	Lower time bound
`end_time`	RFC3339	No	Upper time bound
`limit`	int	No	Maximum results

Permission: judges.view

Get ruling

dome_judges_get_ruling Return one ruling’s full detail — case inputs, votes per judge, tier breakdown, applied constitution clauses.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`ruling_id`	string	Yes	Ruling UUID

Permission: judges.view

Judges, panel, and constitution

The same workspace-scoped tools also expose CRUD over the judge panel and constitution. Each operation is gated by judges.view for reads and judges.manage for writes.

Tool	Permission	Description
`dome_judges_list_judges`	`judges.view`	List all judges available in the workspace
`dome_judges_get_judge`	`judges.view`	Show one judge’s configuration
`dome_judges_create_judge`	`judges.manage`	Create a custom judge
`dome_judges_update_judge`	`judges.manage`	Update a custom judge
`dome_judges_delete_judge`	`judges.manage`	Delete a custom judge
`dome_judges_get_judge_panel`	`judges.view`	Read the panel seating and weights
`dome_judges_update_judge_panel`	`judges.manage`	Replace the panel config
`dome_judges_list_constitutions`	`judges.view`	List constitution clauses
`dome_judges_create_constitution`	`judges.manage`	Add a constitution clause
`dome_judges_update_constitution`	`judges.manage`	Edit a clause
`dome_judges_delete_constitution`	`judges.manage`	Remove a clause
`dome_judges_list_personality_axes`	platform read	Read the personality-axes catalog

Preconfigured judges are immutable. Attempts to update or delete one return a structured error.
