Get Provision
get_provisionLook up the exact text of a specific legal provision or standards-catalog control. Three addressing forms: (1) jurisdiction + law + article — use this when someone asks 'show me Article 5 of GDPR', 'what does Section 12 of the Swedish Work Environment Act say', or 'read me the text of DORA Article 11'. A U.S. federal regulation is addressed by its CFR citation: get_provision(jurisdiction='US', law='45 CFR', article='164.410') (also '45 C.F.R.' + '§ 164.410', or law='45 CFR Part 46' + article='Part 46' for a part) reaches the one corpus that serves that CFR part. An EU act is addressed by its CELEX number: get_provision(jurisdiction='EU', law='32003L0088', article='7') resolves the act through the EU legislation discovery index to its one preferred edition; several preferred editions refuse with meta.ambiguous_candidates, and a miss names discover_eu_legislation; (2) canonical_ref — the exact ref a search row's citation.lookup hint advertises (e.g. get_provision(canonical_ref='loi-2018-07-30:art-64', jurisdiction='BE')): the gateway decomposes it and resolves the same way. Pass jurisdiction alongside canonical_ref when the ref does not embed one (relayed hints already include it). (3) law as a bare corpus/source id + article as the native control/entity id, NO jurisdiction — for non-jurisdictional standards catalogs (e.g. get_provision(law='nist-800-53', article='AC-5') for NIST SP 800-53, and the same shape for nist-csf-2, nist-800-82r3, nist-ai-rmf, nist-ssdf-800-218): a search row's citation.lookup hint for these corpora already advertises this exact shape — replay it verbatim. For a national statute you have not seen in a search row, search first and replay that row's citation.lookup; a law name resolves only where Ansvar has an alias for that name. Returns the full provision text with citation metadata. A member-state jurisdiction plus an EU framework article that has a verified national transposition returns the NATIONAL transposing provision, with meta.transposition naming the swap; pass jurisdiction='EU' for the framework text itself. Where no such mapping applies, the same field may instead carry a typed disclosure describing Ansvar's verified coverage for that pair. When a national transposition IS served, the CELEX and instrument name that response reports are themselves valid law input in that jurisdiction — replay either. When a law name matches several documents or does not resolve (near matches, reason_code=law_name_unresolved), each meta.ambiguous_candidates item is an executable get_provision retry: retry_args contains jurisdiction, law (the chassis doc_id), and the original article, or jurisdiction plus canonical_ref when the resolver supplied one; retry_kind identifies which addressing form it uses, and label carries the served document title (up to 120 characters, empty when unavailable). The text content is one JSON document. Its evidence_summary field carries the 'Sources used' markdown table (the audit receipt per returned row) or a labelled zero-result note. Result rows carry url/title/subtitle display fields alongside their citation when available. meta.render_contract carries the versioned evidence-curation contract. Search in the corpus's primary language (en), then fetch the hits in the user's language with the language argument of get_provision (a code, or a short list of codes for versions side by side). Search lookup hints may include source_id, the exact routed corpus that served the row. It is valid only with the hint's nonblank canonical_ref; law and article must remain empty. Replay the whole args object unchanged so a document present in multiple corpora cannot be substituted. Do not infer source_id from the legal document id.

}Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| law | No | Either the instrument the provision belongs to — a framework id ('GDPR', 'DORA') or the corpus's own law identifier — or, for a non-jurisdictional standards catalog, the bare corpus source id ('nist-800-53', 'nist-csf-2'). | |
| article | No | Article or section number within the instrument ('5', '5(1)(a)'), or the native control id when law is a bare standards-catalog source id ('AC-5'). | |
| language | No | Edition language of the EU legislation text. One code, or a list of up to 3 codes to receive the versions side by side, each with its own citation and `language_served`. A language the requested instrument lacks falls back to English and says so in `language_fallback`. Omit for the English default. Served editions: en, nl, de, bg. | |
| source_id | No | Exact routed corpus id from a search row's citation.lookup hint. Valid only with that hint's nonblank canonical_ref; law and article must remain empty. When present, that corpus's exact hit or miss is authoritative: the gateway does not fall through to a sibling corpus. Replay the hint value; do not infer it from the legal document id. | |
| jurisdiction | No | ISO-2 code of the jurisdiction that owns the provision, such as EU, SE, or BE. Required for the jurisdiction+law+article form, and alongside a canonical_ref that does not embed one. Leave empty for the bare-source-id form (law='nist-800-53'). | |
| canonical_ref | No | The exact reference a search row's citation.lookup hint advertises, such as 'loi-2018-07-30:art-64'. Replay it verbatim instead of decomposing it yourself; the gateway resolves it the same way as jurisdiction+law+article. |
