# lexera_check_jurisdiction_rates: Query AED Pricing Tiers

> Query Lexera's global pricing engine to retrieve the required AED wallet hold for a target jurisdiction before dispatching to a human attorney.

The `lexera_check_jurisdiction_rates` tool is a read-only pricing query. It returns the AED amount that will be temporarily held on your corporate wallet when you dispatch a document to a human attorney via [`lexera_route_to_specialist`](/tools/lexera-route-to-specialist). This tool does not place a hold, create an order, or consume any wallet balance. Use it to validate budget before initiating a paid review.

## Parameters

<ParamField body="target_jurisdiction" type="string" required>
  The governing region you want to price (for example, `UAE` or `Jordan`). Lexera resolves regional aliases (such as `UAE Federal` or `DIFC`) to the parent country for pricing.
</ParamField>
