Searches the Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem catalogue for Sentinel-2 Level-2A scenes over a 1-100 square-kilometre box and date range. Returns product ids, acquisition times, platform, processing level, source tile cloud cover, and item locators. It does not render pixels, inspect a building, or show that a change occurred. Direct flat-body route for this one free resource; no API key, payment, or catalog wrapper. Return only the cited bounded evidence described here; this route never produces a paid brief or full report.
