get_section_text

Pack: ecfr · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/ecfr/mcp

Get the actual REGULATION TEXT currently in force — a single CFR section OR a whole CFR part. PREFER for “what does 14 CFR 91.113 say”, “read the text of ”, “the exact wording of ”, “text of 22 CFR part 120”, “40 CFR part 261”. Pass the title number plus EITHER a section (e.g. title 14, section “91.113” → that section) OR a part (e.g. title 22, part “120” → every section in the part). Returns the heading(s) and full paragraph text. Use search_regulations first to find the citation if unknown.
