Example prompt: Can you pull the current regulatory text of 17 CFR 240.10b-5 from the eCFR, including its official heading and citation?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the exact current text of a specific CFR section — particularly securities regulations under Title 17 — for legal research, compliance documentation, or regulatory citation. Prefer this over general web search when you need authoritative, structured regulatory text with a proper citation string rather than a summary or commentary.

## Known failure modes

- Section not found — returns found: false with null heading and empty text if the CFR path doesn't exist
- Stale data — eCFR content may lag official Federal Register updates by a short period
- Network or upstream eCFR API errors returning non-200 status
- Invalid section identifier in URL path resulting in a not-found response
