ask: facts.

A unit or a population, the date it was true, and the date we knew it, as two parameters.

The caller sends FactsInput to /v1/ask/facts. The platform returns a card whose body is FactsAnswer.
POST/v1/ask/facts

Read facts as of. The call needs the strategy rung under a token with the ask grant, and it is served by either, by the size bound.

The route takes FactsInput and returns a card whose body is FactsAnswer.

Request body#

The request body is FactsInput.

Response#

The route returns a card whose body is FactsAnswer. Every card ends with a foot that states the basis of each number, the scope of the call, and the time when the facts were true.

Headers#

headerrequiredmeaning
Scale-Scopeyesthe scope the call runs in: tenant/, then /brand/, then /strategy/
Scale-As-True-Onnothe date the facts must have been true on; defaults to now
Scale-As-Known-Onnothe date the facts must have been known on; defaults to now
Scale-Keynofor a change, the key made from the input; a repeat under the same key returns the unit held and writes nothing

A caller needs the strategy rung and a token with the ask grant. The platform or the desktop app serves this route.

Example#

The example sends the smallest body that FactsInput allows. The build validates it against the schema of FactsInput.

Example
curl -X POST https://api.scaleintelligence.co/v1/ask/facts \
  -H "Scale-Key: $SCALE_KEY" -H "Scale-Scope: tenant/<id>" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'
import { client } from "@scale/sdk";
const answer = await client.ask.facts({});
// answer.body is a FactsAnswer. answer.foot holds the basis, the scope and the time.
import requests
answer = requests.post("https://api.scaleintelligence.co/v1/ask/facts",
    headers={"Scale-Key": KEY, "Scale-Scope": "tenant/<id>"},
    json={}).json()
let answer: Card = client.post("https://api.scaleintelligence.co/v1/ask/facts")
    .header("Scale-Key", key).header("Scale-Scope", "tenant/<id>")
    .json(&FactsInput { /* the fields of the page */ }).send().await?.json().await?;

MCP tool#

The MCP tool si.ask.facts takes the same input and returns the same card. The tool only reads data. An MCP host that renders cards draws this card from ui://scale-intelligence/cards/FactsAnswer. The tool’s page describes it.

POST /v1/ask/facts
Scale-Scope: …
Scale-As-True-On: …
Scale-As-Known-On: …
Scale-Key: …
content-type: application/json

{}
Without a key, this page shows the request only. The request body is FactsInput, and the route returns a card whose body is FactsAnswer.
