  Trace how two named things in the planning record connect, and report how specific that connection is. Give `from` and `to` for the shortest route between them; give `from` alone to rank what one actor connects to; give neither to rank the corpus's most specific connections. Endpoints are entity, meeting, or named-pattern slugs; list_entities, list_meetings and list_patterns discover them. Routes run over the three layers where a shared node is a specific claim: meeting attendance transcribed from agendas and minutes (250 references across 78 meeting records; a meeting record holds a median of 3 entities and at most 12), peer claims authored on an entity dossier (169 links, 47 of them stated on both dossiers), and shared named patterns (60 references across 15 patterns; a pattern holds a median of 2 entities and at most 10). That substrate is 162 nodes and 479 links over 69 entities, in one connected component. Place, corridor, brief and watch links serve here as filters and citations rather than as routes: the us-27-south-lake node alone carries 118 links, so a route through it would hold for nearly every pair in the corpus. Hop count is a result here rather than an input. Across the full frontmatter graph, 94.5% of entity pairs already sit within two steps and a three-step expansion reaches a median of 236 of 244 nodes, so depth returns the corpus rather than an answer. What discriminates is the degree of the WIDEST node a route passes through, and the ranking leads on it: a route is only as specific as its least specific waypoint. Two more measured properties travel with every row: how many equally-short routes exist (uniqueness runs 64% at two hops, 41% at three, 16% at four), and whether the two endpoints are minuted in disjoint jurisdictions, which 15 of 69 entities are positioned to be. `interior_degrees` carries every degree on the chain so you can re-rank on any of them, and `provenance` says whether the whole join rests on the meeting record, on a curator’s hand, or on both. Filter with `evidence` to choose which layers may carry a hop, `crossing` to keep only pairs minuted in different jurisdictions, and `exclude_published` to keep only pairs the observatory’s own briefs have not already put together. Every response reports how many of the 2,346 possible entity pairs the filters matched, splits them by provenance, and accounts for the rest, so a query that discriminated nothing says so in its own output. Note one interaction the response also states: two entities minuted in one room share that room’s jurisdiction, so `crossing: "jurisdiction"` holds no two-hop minuted route, and the minuted routes that satisfy it run three hops or more. What it leaves undetermined, stated on every call: vote outcomes and dispositions, which live in meeting prose and item tables; direction and sequence, since a route is co-occurrence in a record; and the 345 of 423 meeting records not yet linked to an entity, where what the tool covers is what has been curated. In from and sweep modes, rows that share a chain of intermediaries collapse to one finding, which names the rest of its roster in `route_also_joins`. Pair with describe_entity for a node’s full dossier, describe_meeting for the room itself, and semantic_search for prose.

  Semantic search across the full corpus — every place dossier, corridor signal, meeting reading, and named-pattern brief. Returns results ranked by cosine similarity in a 1024-dimensional embedding space (Voyage AI 4 + Supabase pgvector). Use when the agent does not know the canonical entity slug or named-pattern title in advance — the search returns the readings whose semantic structure best matches the natural-language query, with type, title, similarity, and resolved URL per hit. Threshold 0.55, top 12.

  after · 16% of words in common

  Search every record by exact words and by meaning at once: meeting agendas and minutes, place dossiers, corridors, named patterns and briefs, entities and watch items. Finds a case, ordinance or resolution number, a parcel id or alternate key, an address, a project, firm or person, or a plain-language question. Ranking fuses three lists by reciprocal rank: full-text match (every word as written; "quotes", OR and -word work as in web search), title match, and voyage-4 embedding similarity. Each hit carries its true cosine `similarity` and `matched` (title, text, meaning). Every response states `scope` (the query names a covered place, a place outside coverage, or no place) and `evidence` (strong when a top record contains the query's terms or closely resembles it); when either needs explaining it adds a `note` and the coverage. `weak_match` is deprecated and will be removed in 2.4.0: it is true when scope is outside or evidence is not strong, so read those instead. Coverage: 25 jurisdictions in Lake, Orange, Osceola, Polk and Seminole counties, Florida, from 2024, listed in the coverage resource. Top 12.

  Submit feedback to the observatory's operators about the MCP tool surface. The active counterpart to the passive invocation log. Categories: 'gap' (a capability you expected and didn't find), 'error' (an unexpected failure or wrong result), 'praise' (a tool or surface that did exactly what you needed), 'suggestion' (a refinement you'd recommend), 'citation_request' (a claim or fact you want surfaced with a stable @id you can cite). The submission auto-attaches the prior 10 invocations from your MCP-Session-Id, so operators read your feedback annotated with the call sequence that produced it — no need to repeat what you tried. Operators triage every submission and surface notable feedback at /agent-observatory. This is how the observatory evolves toward what agents actually need.

For RESOLVED watches, also returns the outcome cluster (outcome_type, outcome_summary, prediction_assessment with directional/horizon/significance assessments, lesson, citations) — and the lesson surfaces as a stable claim_id (per the Phase 11 Citable Contract × Phase 8 Resolution Bridge compound).
