Lexiara serves authoritative legislation text with provenance. Every provision payload carries an `authoritative` flag and a `provenance` block (source URL, retrieval date, licence, content hash); cite the source URL, and treat `authoritative: false` text as a reading aid, never as the operative law. Derived data (transposition links, concept tags) carries method and confidence — anything not method='human' is a lead to verify. Works are identified by ELI URIs, provisions by eIds such as 'sec_4' (UK section 4), 'art_2__para_1' (article 2(1)), or 'sch_8__part_ii__grp_1__para_1' (UK Schedule 8 Part II Group 1 item 1). When a lookup returns a `coverage` block with `requestable: true`, the law is missing from THIS corpus rather than nonexistent: use request_ingestion with the `request_hint`, then poll get_ingestion_request and repeat the original lookup with the handles get_ingestion_result returns. Never fill a gap by inventing text. request_ingestion is the one write in this catalogue: an OAuth connection granted only `read` cannot call it; the caller must reconnect and approve the explicit `ingestion:request` consent. Existing read grants remain read-only.
Known tools 25
fetchRetrieve one search result by its opaque id, including provision text, canonical URL, authority status and source provenance.
Inferred read-onlylookup_provisionAuthoritative text of one provision, with in-force window, repealed/prospective status, concept tags, transposition edges and full provenance.
Inferred read-onlyprovision_contextThe cross-reference neighbourhood of a provision plus its amendment history.
Inferred read-onlywork_glossaryThe act's glossary: every term it defines, alphabetical, with the publisher's own wording verbatim and the provision that defines each one.
Inferred read-onlyterm_languagesHow an act words one of its defined terms in each language version held.
Inferred read-onlyprovisions_by_conceptCross-jurisdiction view of one legal concept: every provision tagged with the given EuroVoc concept, with tagging method and confidence.
Inferred read-onlyrelated_worksEdges between instruments: which national laws transpose a directive (direction 'in'), or what an instrument implements/amends (direction 'out').
Inferred read-onlywork_mentionsThe act-level overview: every provision of every instrument in this corpus that names the given act, grouped by citing instrument, with the article of the act each citation resolved to (`targetEId`, null where the citation is act-level — which is most of them, and is not a defect).
Inferred read-onlyprovision_historyPrior and successor versions of one provision across consolidations — how the text got to its current form.
Inferred read-onlyfind_national_implementationsNational provisions implementing one EU provision, with method and confidence per link.
Inferred read-onlyguidance_for_provisionSections of official GUIDANCE that discuss one provision — Commission notices and guidelines on the act, quoted verbatim with the section number the publisher prints, so an answer can cite '§2.8 of the UCPD Guidance' and be checked.
Inferred read-onlylist_topicsCurated obligation topics ('Pre-contract information') under a subject head, each with a one-paragraph orientation and per-jurisdiction anchor counts.
Inferred read-onlyget_topicEverything a topic page shows: the orientation paragraph (with its draft/published editorial status), per-jurisdiction legal-status notes (GB notes carry the assimilated-law caveat), anchored provisions with anchor provenance, article-level transposition links (method, confidence, review verdict — anything not method='human' is evidence, not a finding), and related instruments from Lexiara Nexus.
Inferred read-onlyrecent_changesChange feed: provisions added or modified, filterable by jurisdiction, concept and date.
Inferred read-onlylist_review_queueThe AUTO-GATED backlog from one place, newest first: unreviewed article-level transposition links with BOTH provision texts side by side and the stored reasoning, model/low-confidence concept tags, draft topic descriptions and jurisdiction notes, and recorded findings (gaps and divergences a round could not decide).
Inferred read-onlylist_followsThe instruments, provisions, subjects, jurisdictions and verticals this API key follows.
Inferred read-onlyfollow_updatesThe digest: every change the corpus observed on followed law, each with a SIGNIFICANCE grade and the reasoning behind it — 'major' (a new consolidation whose version point advanced, a provision appearing, a provision now repealed), 'minor' (wording changed, or the stored text moved while the publisher's version point did not), 'housekeeping' (first ingest, bulk churn from a version substitution).
Inferred read-onlyrequest_ingestionWhen a lookup returns `coverage` with `requestable: true`, ask for the missing instrument instead of stopping or guessing.
Inferred read-onlylist_ingestion_requestsList up to the latest 50 ingestion requests belonging to your account, newest first.
Inferred read-onlyget_ingestion_requestState, stage, reason code and the time to wait before asking again, for one request you made.
Inferred read-onlyget_ingestion_resultThe published handles — expression id, work ELI, the /v1/works/text and /v1/provisions addresses — plus the source manifest (publisher URL, content hash, bytes, retrieval time, parser version) and the expectation results.
