Query service for EU payments legislation: 50 curated instruments at provision granularity, from paymentslaw.eu. Not legal advice. EUR-Lex is authoritative. The corpus is curated and non-exhaustive: absence of a result is not evidence that no relevant law exists. Council compromise texts are agreed but not yet law. Texts are as adopted or, where stated, consolidated — where an as-adopted text is amended by another instrument in this corpus, the response says so and the amendments are not incorporated. Every provision-bearing result carries a `cite` anchor naming exactly what was served. Echo it rather than composing citations of your own. A search snippet is served text but is not the provision: open a hit with `get_provision` before citing it. National implementing law is out of scope, so a directive's applicability is refused in place rather than guessed. `search` and `fetch` exist for clients that expect those names; `fetch` ids are cite anchors. Every other tool returns more — warnings, provenance, paging — and should be preferred where the client can call it. get_orientation returns curated reading pathways into the corpus for a stated audience; its prose is editorial and labelled as such.
