# Verb

one of the words that order the public surface; a verb with no operation yet is shown as not yet served

[figure: Verb is a row at platform scope. The drawing shows its fields and the objects that they point at.]

| property | value |
|---|---|
| kind | row |
| scope | platform |
| key | its name |
| store | postgres |
| family | gateway |



## Fields


| field | type | required | note |
|---|---|---|---|
| `name` | `text` | yes |  |
| `operations` | [Tool](/concepts/tool) | yes |  |
| `served` | `bool` | yes |  |



## Routes that use it
No route takes or returns Verb directly. The record holds it, and the objects that point at it reach it.
