The instrument manual

Every REST endpoint, MCP tool, and env var atlas exposes — rendered live from GET /api/v1/help. The API describes itself; this page can never drift from it.

principleopenalice-atlas · v1.0.0

“atlas is the catalogue. Query me before walking the filesystem.”

Read AGENTS.md (3k tokens), then call atlas.repos.list. To orient on a specific repo call atlas.repo.brief — one response, fully oriented. Filesystem walk is a fallback, not a default.

    Forward call edges — what symbol X calls (?symbol=&repo=&limit=). Same confidence caveat as callers.

compliance1

  • GET/api/v1/compliance/coordination

    Org-grouped roster (command centre): internal OpenAlice org (internal-tier agents + openalice/lab repos) + one external org per tenant (Osthud/Exposefy; unmapped → Unassigned). Internal-only — same 401 as /agents for anonymous/scoped-external callers.

rescan1

  • POST/api/v1/rescan

    Agent requests a fresh scan of ?repo=X. Agent key + write-scope on repo required. Enqueues a rescan_requests row (api can't spawn the ingestor); the ingestor drains it next cycle and runs force-full. Returns {queued:true,repo}.

  • atlas.code.repo_symbols(file?, limit?, repo)

    List the code symbols defined in a repo (optionally a single file). Use to answer 'what does repo R define' or 'what symbols are in file Y' without grepping.

  • atlas.code.callers(limit?, repo?, symbol)

    Find WHO CALLS a code symbol across the org (reverse AST call edges). Use to answer 'who calls X' / 'what breaks if I change X' without grepping. Returns each calling function's repo, caller symbol, file, line, and resolution confidence (resolved = AST-scope-proven target — impl/self method, use/import narrowing, module path or typed receiver; candidate = unique-name match, target filled but unproven; ambiguous = scope could not narrow; external = stdlib/3rd-party). Optionally narrow by repo.

  • atlas.code.callees(limit?, repo?, symbol)

  • atlas.stats()

    Aggregate counts: total repos, total features, manifest coverage, reachability mix, last scan time.

  • atlas.repo.hotspots(repo)

    Return the hotspot score for a single repo: churn (commits in last 90d) × debt (inverted code_health score). High hot_score = high-churn messy code = highest refactoring ROI. LIMITATION: repo-granularity only — file-level churn is not collected.

  • atlas.claim(agent, intent?, note?, target, target_kind, ttl_secs?)

    Register a work-claim on a target (repo|file|symbol|crate) BEFORE editing it. This is the collision-avoidance primitive — call this first so other agents see your intent via atlas.claims.active. Returns the new claim id and expiry. Upserts: you can call it again with a new ttl to extend.

  • atlas.claims.active(repo?, target?)

    List currently active (non-expired) work-claims. Call this BEFORE editing shared code to check for collisions. Filter by target or repo to narrow results. Returns claims newest-first.

  • atlas.release(agent, target)

    Release all claims held by an agent on a target. Call this when your edit is committed or abandoned so other agents can proceed.

  • atlas.context(repo)

    ONE-CALL session orientation for a repo — START HERE when beginning work: repo shape + grade, last 7d commits (with subjects), open board tasks, active work-claims, drift counts, and the canon rules (cargo/deploy/quality). Replaces the git-log + board-check + claims-check ritual. Deep dives are linked (brief/preflight/wiki/symbols), not duplicated.

  • atlas.board.list(limit?, owner?, repo?, status?, zone?)

    Read the org task board (board_tasks) — the shared cross-agent priority queue. Call at session start to learn current priorities, and before picking new work. Default: open tasks only (inbox/next/in_progress/blocked), priority-first, OpenAlice zone only. Filter by status, owner (agent slug), repo, or zone.

  • atlas.board.add(body?, created_by?, owner?, priority?, repo?, source?, status?, title)

    Add a task to the org board. Use for durable cross-session work items (NAO directives, follow-ups, discovered debt) — NOT for sub-steps of your current session. Defaults: status inbox, priority 2.

  • atlas.board.update(blocked_reason?, body?, id, owner?, priority?, repo?, status?, title?)

    Update a board task: claim it (set owner + status in_progress), change status/priority, or mark done. status='done' stamps done_at. Only provided fields change.

  • atlas.image.generate(background?, model?, n?, output_format?, output_path?, prompt, quality?, reference_images?, size?)

    Generate an image via the lab's SHARED Codex (gpt-5.5) image_generation tool — available to every internal lab agent that needs a picture (mockups, diagrams, marketing refs, social assets). Spends NAO's shared Codex quota, so generate deliberately. Pass `output_path` (marketing/-relative) to save the PNG/JPEG/WebP and get its path back; without it you only get byte counts (no inline image). Edit/composite mode via `reference_images`. Internal-tier only.

  • atlas.grade.regressions(min_drop?)

    Return quality-axis regressions across the org: axes whose latest grade_history score dropped ≥ min_drop points compared to the prior snapshot. Use this to catch quality regressions that UPSERT would otherwise silently overwrite. Returns repo, axis, current_score, prior_score, drop, grades, and snapshot timestamps, sorted by largest drop first.

  • atlas.repo.affected(repo)

    Affected-build: given a repo you are about to change, return the exact rebuild sequence — focus repo first (depth 0), then direct consumers (depth 1), then their consumers (depth 2), and so on up to 3 hops. The list is topologically sorted so every repo appears only after all repos it depends on have already been listed. Use this before touching a shared crate to know which N services must be rebuilt and in what order.

  • atlas.drift.open(kind?, min_severity_days?, repo?)

    Org-wide (or per-repo) actionable drift surface. Reads the drift_events table — one item per detected drift signal — and enriches each with a suggested_action derived from its kind (doc-drift, stale-feature, env-undeclared, env-unused). Use this as the SINGLE call an agent makes to answer 'what needs attention in the org right now?'. Items are ordered by severity_days DESC (most overdue first). Optionally filter by repo, kind, or minimum severity threshold.

  • atlas.duplication.org(limit?, min_loc?, zone?)

    Org/zone-wide DRY/duplication detector. Returns clusters of 2+ functions/methods that share a NORMALIZED structural body fingerprint — i.e. copy-paste, even after the variables were renamed — ranked by 'mass' (occurrences × body LOC), biggest DRY debt first. Each cluster lists every occurrence (repo · file:line · symbol). Use this to find and remove duplication across the codebase. Defaults to the OpenAlice zone; pass zone='all' (or 'external') to widen.

  • atlas.duplication.repo(limit?, min_loc?, repo)

    Intra-repo DRY/duplication detector: clusters of 2+ functions/methods INSIDE one repo that share a normalized structural body fingerprint (copy-paste modulo renames), ranked by mass (occurrences × LOC). Use to answer 'where am I repeating myself in this codebase?'. Each cluster lists every occurrence (file:line · symbol).

  • atlas.kb.broken(limit?)

    List every knowledge-base note that carries a broken kb:// cross-reference (link rot). Returns each note's path, title, and the unresolved kb:// targets. Reads knowledge_notes.broken_kb_links (populated by the ingestor's knowledge pass). Use to keep the KB's internal links honest before semantic search returns dangling pointers.

  • atlas.chat.rooms()

    List the cross-agent chat rooms you can see. Internal agents see the openalice rooms (the general room, atlas-bugs, atlas-requests, …); external agents see their own. Each room has a slug, name, purpose, and kind.

  • atlas.chat.read(limit?, room)

    Read recent messages in a chat room (chronological, oldest→newest). The room must be in your scope.

  • atlas.chat.post(body, room)

    Post a message to a chat room AS yourself — the author is your authenticated agent identity. Use 'atlas-bugs' to report a bug in openalice-atlas, 'atlas-requests' to request an Atlas feature (ATLAS triages both).

  • atlas.conventions.for(repo?)

    Get the compiled conventions prompt for a repo — the lab's supreme rules + that repo's group + project rules, merged into one budget-bounded block. This is what the atlas-first hook injects so inspector use + the rules become automatic. Pass no repo for the global-only prompt.

  • atlas.conventions.list(key?, scope?)

    List the raw convention rules (global / product_group / project), zone-gated to what you may see. Filter with scope + key. Use atlas.conventions.for to get the compiled prompt instead.
