# Download File

`lawmatics_download-file` · Lawmatics MCP tool · Files

Get a short-lived download LINK for a Lawmatics file (the link expires in a few minutes). Fetch the returned URL to retrieve the file's bytes — the bytes are streamed by the gateway, never returned inline. Use get-file for metadata only.

## Input

- **fileId** `string` (required, pattern: ^\d+$) — ID of the file to download; a numeric string

## Output

Returns an MCP resource link — no JSON output schema.
