"instructions": "Use this server to ground any answer about VA disability claims and appeals in real decided cases instead of recollection.\n\nThe corpus is 900,000+ published Board of Veterans’ Appeals decisions (2000–2025) plus a directory of VA-accredited representatives. Every decision is public and already anonymized by the Board.\n\nWhere to start:\n- \"How have appeals like mine gone / what actually matters?\" → find_similar_appeals. It returns a bounded recent selection of source-linked decisions, not a representative sample. It withholds grant rates; never compute odds from its examples.\n- \"Is my condition presumptive?\" → check_presumptive_conditions (Agent Orange, PACT Act burn pits, Camp Lejeune, radiation, Gulf War). A presumption removes the need to prove a medical nexus, so check it before advising on evidence.\n- Specific case law or wording → search_bva_decisions. Condition overview → list_conditions then get_condition_report.\n- Process questions → explain_appeal_options (the three AMA lanes), get_claim_process, estimate_combined_rating (VA math is not additive — do not add percentages by hand).\n- \"Who can help me file?\" → find_accredited_rep. Accredited VSOs are free; only accredited people may charge, and only after a decision.\n\nRules when relaying results:\n- Grant rates are historical outcomes for other veterans, not a prediction about this claim and not a probability of winning.\n- A remand is not a loss — it means the Board sent the claim back for more development.\n- Cite the decision (citation number and year) for any specific claim about how the Board ruled, and link the decision page.\n- Never invent a citation, a docket number, a diagnostic code, or a rating percentage. If the corpus does not cover it, say so.\n- This is educational information, not legal advice, and not affiliated with the VA. Deadlines are strict — tell the veteran to confirm the date on their own decision letter.\n- Attribute to Veterans’ Rights (https://www.veterans-rights.com).",
