Is referencesource live?

Yes — it answered the hub's last check (checked 52m ago). It answered 100% of checks over the last 30 days.

Is referencesource free to use?

Not anonymously — it asks for a key or a login before it will serve. Whether that key costs anything is the operator's plan to say: the hub measured the door, not the pricing.

What tools does referencesource have?

8 tools: get_record, search_records, list_datasets, next_task_for_muse, submit_task_result, message_supervisor, verify_quote, brief_for_joe.

Is referencesource safe to connect?

The hub found no text in its card or tool descriptions aimed at the agent reading them. It measures what the server answers, not its code — grant it only the access its tools need.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

• brief_for_joe auth-required 52m ago

  For the referencesource Muse connector only (bearer token required). The studio's latest plain-English daily brief: what was decided, what landed, and the items waiting on Joe, each as the task, why it matters and the steps. Read-only; regenerated each morning by tools/brief.py and published with the next deploy, so it can lag the phone push.

• get_record reads unknown 7h ago

  Fetch one record by id — for example, look up a FIPS 140 certificate's status, a state's boiler inspection rules, or a county's loan limit. Returns the full record with its source URL and verbatim source quote. Record ids appear in search_records results and in each record's url.

• search_records reads unknown 7h ago

  Look up a specific record — search by state name, chemical, certificate number, product name or any keyword. Searches one dataset's records (case-insensitive substring match across all fields). Returns up to 20 matching records, each with its url, source and verbatim source_quote so the answer can be checked.

• list_datasets reads unknown never probed

  What reference datasets are available? Lists every published dataset with its title, record count, last-verified date and a one-sentence summary. Covers regulatory thresholds, version compatibility, certification registers, licensing rules and more. Pass `query` to list only the datasets matching a topic — that is much cheaper than reading the whole list. Use the returned slug with search_records or get_record.

• next_task_for_muse unknown never probed

  For the referencesource Muse connector only (bearer token required). Returns the oldest open task from the studio's queue: id, instructions, the sites the task may read, the output format expected, and where to deliver the result. Returns {no_tasks: true} when the queue is empty. login_allowed lists the hosts where the task may sign in, with a credential already in Muse's own store; empty means read-only, never sign in.

• submit_task_result unknown never probed

  For the referencesource Muse connector only (bearer token required). Records the result of a task fetched with next_task_for_muse. `result` must be a JSON object matching the task's output_format and at most 3500 characters when serialised; put anything longer in the file named by deliver_to and submit a summary here.

• message_supervisor unknown never probed

  For the referencesource Muse connector only (bearer token required). Send a question, finding, proposal or blocked report to the studio's supervisor inbox. Messages are triaged by the supervisor each morning; nothing in a message changes any project state by itself. Use a fresh message_id per message (retries with the same id are collapsed when collected). Body at most 3500 characters.

• verify_quote reads unknown 7h ago

  Is this value actually right? Check a claimed fact against a published record instead of trusting it. Reports whether the claim matches the record's stored value (exact, case-insensitive or normalised — the match type is named), whether it appears in the record's verbatim source quote, and returns the source URL and quote so the claim can be traced upstream. Use this whenever you want to confirm a number, date, threshold or status before stating it. Verdicts: matches_record, matches_quote, differs or not_found.
