Fontis

Searches Brazilian legal instruments relevant to a question, returning the excerpt, the exact citation, and the current validity status. Use when the user's question requires grounding in Brazilian law. Coverage: codes and statutes (Civil Code, Code of Civil Procedure, Labor Code/CLT, Consumer Protection Code, Penal Code, LGPD, Child and Adolescent Statute, Alimony Act, Public Records Act, Stable Union Act, Married Woman's Statute), STF and STJ case law summaries (súmulas), binding precedents, interpretive statements from the CJF Civil Law Conferences, the CNJ Protocol for Judgment with a Gender Perspective, and the OAB/SP Fee Schedule. For broad research, prefer several specific searches over a single generic one (e.g., one for substantive law, another for the procedural rule). For fee amounts, run a dedicated search with tipo_norma=['tabela_honorarios'] — otherwise the fee schedule appears at most once, so it does not crowd out the applicable statute. Cite only provisions this tool returned, with the text it returned. Every provision you are about to name must be searched first — this applies equally when you intend to cite it AND when you intend to say it is outside the corpus. Never report a provision as absent, unconfirmed, or 'not in the indexed base' without having run a search for that specific provision and seen it not come back. Listing a provision as unsupported from memory is the same error as citing it from memory. Run ONE confirmation search per provision, quoting it as written (e.g. 'art. 206, § 3º, V, do Código Civil'). Do not bundle several provisions into a single confirmation search: the different codes then compete for the same result slots and the one you are checking can drop out, which reads as a false absence. A provision counts as confirmed only if the returned `fonte` is the statute you cited. An article number on its own matches that number in every code at once — a search for 'art. 155' comes back with art. 155 of the CLT, of the Penal Code and of the Code of Civil Procedure, none of which confirms art. 155 of the Constitution.
