No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/ch_law_get for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Fetch one Swiss federal act: its record and consolidated text. id is an SR number from ch_law_search (e.g. “235.1” for the Federal Act on Data Protection) or an Official Compilation reference like “2022/491”. Returns title, short title, SR number, AS reference, adoption and entry-into-force dates, in-force status, the date of the consolidated version returned (the version applicable today) and the text. Pass article (e.g. “6”, “66a”) for one article only; without it the text is capped at max_chars with a list of chapters. lang picks the language (de, fr, it, en when available). The consolidated text is informative as published; the legal force lies with the Official Compilation.

Parameters

`id`	string	yes	SR number (e.g. “235.1”) or AS reference “year/number” (e.g. “2022/491”)
`article`	string	no	Article number, e.g. “6”, “66a”, “7bis”
`lang`	string	no	Text language (default de)
