Returns the closed grammar registry: feature ids, types, ranges, operators, windows, sequence rules, limits, and error codes. `search`, `feature_ids` and `compact` narrow it.
list_instruments
Returns the research universe and coverage. The default is a compact summary; use `symbols: [...]` for selected full records or `full: true` for the verbatim canonical universe.
prepare_study
Free deterministic structured preparation, provenance and allowance estimate. Requires the web `/prepare` release first.
interpret_prose
Turns prose into a proposed query document. It does not execute the query. Optional `time_zone` accepts an IANA time zone for calendar planning.
run_scan
Executes a `research_query.v2` document and returns result bytes with counts, denominators, outcomes, the unconditional same-scope reference, and the reproducibility key. Projected by default (`rows`, `full_rows`, `full_counts`).
next_page
Continues a prior scan with its opaque cursor. Never construct cursors manually.
ground_screenshots
Resolves host-extracted screenshot coordinates against recorded candle closes and coverage, retaining uncertainty and deduplicating event views. Free.
investigate_move
Reads the existing lead-up and optional recorded detector geometry for a grounded event, and optionally prepares exact unrun setup documents. Free read; historical entitlement applies.
snapshot_at
Reads registry feature values, window aggregates, and fired rules as of a recorded moment.
base_rate
Counts matches and eligible buckets for one clause over a window.
commonality
Finds the deterministic intersection across multiple moments with selection-bias caveats included.
get_report
Retrieves a published report by its 8-character canonical hash.
