- vela.corpus.query
Ask the corpus by COORDINATE rather than keyword. Filter works by axis weights (e.g. religion ∈ {T,s} AND work ∈ {T,s} returns the God-and-Work source set across genres), controlled themes, qualities/emotions, genre, and free text. Returns card metadata: the one-line claim, theme
- vela.library.reading_list
The reading list an emotion or theme page shows: books with one-line claims and a short attributed passage (≤300 chars). Exactly one of emotion or theme. FREE and read-only. Every url carries ?ref=mcp for citation arrival measurement. [capability: library-extraction-cards · mirr

Ask what this magazine would actually give a reader who said they wanted these things. Returns the REAL sequenced path with the rationale for each piece — the same core the anonymous intake calls, not a preview. Read-only: writes nothing and records no signal. [capability: adapt
- vela.magazine.relation_floor
Whether a magazine's corpus can support the adaptive promise its pages render. Reports, per property, each relational dimension's fill AND its separating power — a field present on every piece with one distinct value carries no information, so fill rate alone is misleading. Read-
- vela.research.list_studies
List FieldStation research ideas as a library-kit DiscoveryDTO. Each card is a study we can support, not a running participant surface. The honesty gate (limitations, readiness, doNotClaim) is enforced by research:catalog-check — this tool publishes that same file. FREE and read-
- vela.research.get_study
One FieldStation study as a library-kit ProfileDTO plus the raw StudyRecord. Unknown id is an error. FREE and read-only. [capability: study-catalogue · mirrors: GET /api/research/studies/:id]
