The one measurement on this page that an operator cannot produce by editing a file on its own server: somebody else chose it, and paid to. Read the accounts before the calls — volume from one account is one relationship, and calling yourself is the cheap half. Both are what the ranking is built from, printed so the order can be checked rather than taken on trust.

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.

palette_strict changes data unknown never probed
Like palette_concept but with archive filtering and relevance controls. Use allowed_archives to restrict results to specific cultural traditions e.g. ['Japan'] for Japanese only. Use min_relevance to filter weak concept matches. Fixes cross-archive drift when cultural specificity matters. The result already carries the rendered palette and its PNG, PDF, ASE, JSON and CSS downloads -- show them to the customer. Never present the archive anchors a colour was derived from as the colours you are recommending. If you go on to choose a final palette OF YOUR OWN from this evidence, call palette_finalize once with those exact colours so the customer can see and download what you actually recommended.

colour_story reads unknown never probed
Given a hex value, returns a rich narrative about that colour's cultural journey — where it has appeared in history, what it has meant to different civilisations, and what archive names it carries. Essential for image generation prompts, brand storytelling, and creative briefs. Example: '#DC143C' returns the story of crimson from Byzantine imperial courts through Tudor England to modern sport.

archive_report_brief unknown never probed

One-call complete archive research package for a document, PDF, or editorial brief. Input: title, audience, themes, archives to draw from, things to avoid, number of colours. Output: ranked colour cards with full provenance, story order, source confidence flags, pull quote, CTA line, CSS tokens, image prompt for Midjourney/Flux/DALLE, editorial argument, weakest and strongest entries identified. Replaces chaining archive_search + get_colour_card + cliche_breaker + agent_brief separately. Two Claude calls total. This is the endpoint for building premium archive documents, PDFs, briefs, and editorial content. Use this first for any document workflow.

index_resonance reads unknown never probed
Colour Memory's proprietary semantic metric. Score how tightly the material origin of a colour aligns with its social consequence. 1.00 = material and consequence are indistinguishable (blood as prognosis, ash as finality). 0.80 = institution mediates the colour (paint as deterrence, flag as authority). 0.50 = symbolic or associative only. Input: list of colour entries with name, hex, archive, source, notes. Output: resonance score, material origin, social function, alignment reason, confidence. Use for investigative reports, forensic briefs, museum content, editorial PDFs. This is the metric that separates Colour Memory from palette generators.

palette_swatch unknown never probed

Generate a clean, text-free PNG swatch image from hex colours. Returns a URL to the PNG. Use for Midjourney --sref style references or design mood boards. Supports photo-proportional weights from palette extraction, equal distribution, grid layout, a true smooth LCh-interpolated gradient (no hard colour edges, best for mood/atmosphere/colour-grade references rather than literal composition), and 13 fixed design ratios (6310, 7020, triptych, quad, filmstrip, etc.).

brand_guideline_status unknown never probed
Resolves a brand_job_ref returned by brand_guideline_specify when its race-to-complete window elapsed before generation finished. Read-only, in-process lookup -- never re-runs generation. Returns {"status": "processing"} if still running, {"status": "complete", "brand_ref": ..., "project_id": ..., "recommended_candidate_id": ..., "candidate_count": ...} once done (a compact summary -- use the returned brand_ref with brand_guideline_select/brand_guideline_pdf/brand_guideline_claims for full detail, the same pattern every other Brand Standard tool already uses), or {"status": "failed", "error_code": ..., "message": ...} if generation genuinely failed server-side. An unknown or expired brand_job_ref returns a structured BRAND_JOB_NOT_FOUND error, never a crash or empty success.

palette_pdf changes data unknown never probed
Generate a premium branded PDF specification sheet from a palette of archive entries. Returns a downloadable PDF with full-bleed colour panels, archive names, provenance notes, RAL nearest match, LRV, chroma, WCAG contrast data, and Colour Memory branding. Use this to create client deliverables, specification sheets, and print assets. TRUST BOUNDARY: every colour rendered in this PDF is verified server-side against the real archive by (name, hex, archive_source) before it is drawn -- any claim_strength, primary_source, colour_notes, colour_basis, or hex_confidence supplied in `entries`/`sections` is IGNORED and replaced with Colour Memory's own record for that colour; an entry that matches no real archive record refuses the whole request (PDF_ENTRY_NOT_VERIFIED) rather than being dropped or rendered with the caller's claim. Two supported entry sources: (1) the flat entries array from query_hex or palette_from_concept -- each item needs name, hex, archive_source (colour_notes/primary_source/zone may be supplied but are ignored/overwritten by the server-verified record); or (2) archive_report_brief's output -- pass report['presented_cards'] as entries, NOT report['colour_cards'] (the legacy field is kept only for backward compatibility and does not carry family-card presentation). presented_cards may mix three card shapes, all rendered as exactly one page each regardless of how many underlying records they represent: single_cultivar (a normal flat card), colour_family (card_type='colour_family', many near-identical records summarised as one card with member_count/supported_by/family_delta_e_max -- every member is verified individually, and representative_hex must be one of the verified members' own hexes), and conservative-mode hero cards (a single_cultivar card carrying family_grouping_suppressed=true and also_supported_by, representing a larger natural family that was folded into one promoted cultivar instead of shown as a group). delivery controls how the PDF is returned: 'url' (default) gives a signed, time-limited R2 download link; 'base64' returns the PDF bytes inline in the response for callers that need the file directly rather than a link. This tool requires a valid, authenticated API key EXCEPT when using `house_ref` alone (anonymous house_ref access is unchanged) -- `entries`, `sections`, and `project_id` all require a key; a keyless request to those returns 401. No extra credit is charged for the key check itself. Alternative input mode: pass `sections` instead of `entries` for a grouped, multi-section document (e.g. house_specify's rooms) instead of one page per flat colour card. Each section has `entries` (verified exactly like the flat-entries path above) and, optionally, `grouping_basis`/`hero_hex`. DO NOT send `title`, `subtitle`, `rationale`, or `application_notes` on a section -- these are requester free text, and this renderer cannot currently keep them cleanly separated from Colour Memory's own evidence, so any of them being present REFUSES THE WHOLE REQUEST with a 400 (REQUESTER_FREE_TEXT_NOT_ALLOWED) naming the offending field(s); a section with only `entries` still renders, with an auto-numbered heading. `presentation.template` picks the layout: 'sectioned_specification' (clean grid-per-section spec sheet) or 'colour_drenched_lookbook' (hero colour fills the page, swatches cover most of it, citations collected into a final appendix rather than shrunk onto every page). Third input mode: pass `house_ref` (NOT `house`) -- the reference string house_specify's own response returns -- for the flagship document-plan pipeline: a complete, editorial multi-archetype publication with a cover, a house_thesis argument page, a whole_house_progression chart, one room_hero + one implementation (practical specification) page per room, and a redesigned source_appendix, all sharing one design system. house_ref (or project_id, for an authenticated caller's own durable project) is the ONLY way to reach this pipeline: passing the house_specify response object itself as an inline `house` field is REFUSED outright (400, INLINE_HOUSE_NOT_ALLOWED) -- this PDF is Colour Memory-branded, and it can only render a house Colour Memory itself created and still holds, never one relayed back through the request body, even unmodified. Call house_specify first, then pass the house_ref it returns here. house_ref/project_id takes priority over `sections`/`entries` when supplied.

query_conceptual reads unknown never probed
Ask a cultural, historical, or material colour question. Returns named archive colours with provenance and cultural context. Works for abstract queries like 'grief' (returns Ophelia Violet, Titan's Grief), 'toxic Victorian pigments' (returns Nightshade Poison Berry Purple, Victorian Arsenic Mirror Silver), or 'the sea at dusk' (returns Evening Sea, Thames Blue Dusk). Even a vague or personal-sounding query never comes back empty -- result_path in the response tells you honestly whether this was a 'direct' hit, a 'broadened' retry (relaxed match threshold), or a 'redirected' fallback (dropped an archive restriction or switched to full-corpus semantic search).

extract_image_colours unknown never probed

Extract dominant colours from a photograph using Colour Memory's proprietary k-means++ algorithm. Requires either a public image_url, or an image_id. If you only have a raw uploaded file with no public URL (e.g. a local file path or a ChatGPT file attachment without a usable download_url), call ingest_image first to get an image_id, then pass that image_id here. Returns hex values with proportional weights. Optionally matches colours against the archive with style_context for coherent cultural naming. Use this before image_brief when you have an uploaded photograph.

Generate a complete interior specification from 2-8 hex values. Returns surface assignments, 60-30-10 proportions, lighting behaviour, and archive colour names.

colour_metrics unknown never probed
Returns numeric metrics derived from a single display colour: an estimated light reflectance value (LRV) and band, relative luminance, CIELAB lightness, chroma and hue angle, and Bradford corresponding colours under two standard illuminants.

colour_harmonies unknown never probed
Return complementary, triadic, analogous, and split-complementary harmonies matched to named archive colours. Also available: 'hay_contrast' -- D.R. Hay's (1838) documented contrast pairing between six named hues (yellow/purple, orange/blue, red/green), with Field's proportional power for the pair. Unlike the fixed-angle types, this snaps the input to Hay's nearest named hue rather than rotating it, and returns covered:false with no invented partner when the input sits nearer a tertiary region (olive/citron/russet) than any of the six -- Hay records only an aggregate total for tertiaries, never a specific pair. The result already carries the rendered palette and its PNG, PDF, ASE, JSON and CSS downloads -- show them to the customer. Never present the archive anchors a colour was derived from as the colours you are recommending. If you go on to choose a final palette OF YOUR OWN from this evidence, call palette_finalize once with those exact colours so the customer can see and download what you actually recommended.

archive_search reads unknown never probed

Full-text keyword search across all archive colour names and notes. Find colours by name fragment, material, cultural reference, pigment type, or historical period. Complements conceptual embedding search with exact keyword matching. Examples: 'cerulean' (28 matches, e.g. Bourton Cerulean), 'Prussian' (187 matches spanning pigment history), 'medieval' (over 1,000 matches across period archives). Never returns a bare empty result for a genuinely obscure query -- result_path in the response is 'direct' (exact keyword hit), 'broadened' (archive restriction dropped), or 'redirected' (fell back to conceptual/semantic search) so you always know which one fired. Set entity_mode='exact' to search by botanical identity rather than by word: a plain query for 'Rose' matches any cultivar name containing it (including Sweet Peas called 'Rose Pink'), whereas entity_mode='exact' returns genus Rosa only and discloses how many off-genus records were excluded.

Zero-argument diagnostic call: returns exactly what build is live right now (build_sha, schema_version, schema_hash, archive_revision, tool_count, generated_at, server_environment). Use this to confirm you're seeing the current deployed schema -- e.g. if a tool you expect (like house_specify) seems to be missing, call this first and compare schema_hash against another connection before assuming the server is wrong; a mismatch usually means one connection is holding a stale cached manifest, not a real deployment gap.

Simulate perceptually modelled subtractive mixing of two colours in CIE Lab space (not RGB screen blending). Returns the resulting mixed hex value and its nearest archive match with cultural context. Uses CIE Lab subtractive model for perceptual accuracy. Example: mixing Prussian Blue and Yellow Ochre gives a muted green — the tool identifies which archive colour that green most closely matches.

image_palette reads unknown never probed
Upload an image (base64 encoded) and extract its dominant colour palette, with each colour matched to its nearest named archive entry with full cultural provenance. Uses K-means++ extraction; sRGB pixels are read as D65 CIELAB for matching. Returns up to 5 dominant colours, each with archive name, cultural story, nearest RAL standard, and WCAG accessibility data. Works for product photography, interior photos, artwork, brand assets, and mood boards. The image is never stored — processed in memory only. The result already carries the rendered palette and its PNG, PDF, ASE, JSON and CSS downloads -- show them to the customer.

colour_compare unknown never probed
Deep perceptual and semantic comparison between any two hex values. Returns quantified differences in LRV, chroma, hue angle, warmth, and CIEDE2000 distance, plus cultural context on both — which is more authoritative, more saturated, more stable under different illuminants, and what each has historically signified. Use when choosing between two colours or explaining why one works better than another. Not a harmony tool — this is a decision and reasoning tool.

One-call compound tool. Submit a concept, medium, audience, and constraints — receive a complete design package: historically grounded palette, cultural narrative, commercial paint matches, WCAG accessibility check, illuminant behaviour, and a ready-made image generation prompt. Replaces chaining query_conceptual + palette_from_concept + colour_story + match_paint_system + accessibility_check + get_colour_metrics. Use when an AI agent or user needs a complete, deployable colour direction in a single call. Not for iterative refinement — use individual tools for that.

The colour question every stylist gets asked: does this bag go with this outfit? Submit your outfit items as hex values with labels (dress, bag, shoes, coat, belt, scarf, etc.) and receive a verdict on what works, what clashes, what is missing, and what to add. Every recommendation is backed by archive colour names and historical context — not generic colour theory, but documented cultural combinations. Also suggests one missing archive colour that would complete the look. Examples: 'I have a navy dress (#1C3A6E) and a tan bag (#C8A87A) — what shoes?' or 'Does this burgundy coat work with olive trousers?'

Examples: 'bold maximalist living room', 'calm Scandi bedroom', 'Victorian study', 'coastal kitchen', 'gallery hallway'. Pass `archive` to lock the whole scheme to one named archive (e.g. 'ArtsAndCrafts', 'GeorgianPleasures') -- every returned colour will belong to it, or you get a clear error listing valid archive names rather than a silent unrestricted search. Use /interior-specification/pdf for a downloadable branded PDF version. Use house_specify instead for a multi-room scheme with cross-room provenance grouping. This is the tool that replaces a colour consultation. The result already carries the rendered palette and its PNG, PDF, ASE, JSON and CSS downloads -- show them to the customer. Never present the archive anchors a colour was derived from as the colours you are recommending. If you go on to choose a final palette OF YOUR OWN from this evidence, call palette_finalize once with those exact colours so the customer can see and download what you actually recommended.

house_specify changes data unknown never probed

Generate a complete multi-room house colour scheme from a single archive. Where the retrieved evidence supports it, rooms are grouped by documented provenance (same object, same pattern colourway, same source citation, same designer, same period+institution); where it does not, they are grouped by perceptual similarity and the response says so -- grouping_basis reports which, and provenance_credit reports how many delivered colours are individually evidenced versus documented as a GROUP (often zero). Every colour is a real archive record either way. Each room gets a full colour card set (dominant/secondary/joinery/textile/accent roles) with paint matches, LRV, illuminant behaviour, and WCAG data. A documentary grouping states exactly which documented fact ties its colours together (e.g. 'documented on the same Fitzwilliam Museum record for the Artichoke hanging, accession T.1-1979') and its weighted grouping_strength score -- historical claims are templated only from fields the archive record actually states; room/surface assignment is disclosed as editorial, never as historical fact. Orientation (north/south/east/west) is recorded as room context and surfaced in each room's light_context; in the current model it does not alter palette selection. Example: concept='Arts and Crafts movement family house', archive='ArtsAndCrafts', rooms=[{label:'Entrance Hall', room_type:'hallway', orientation:'north'}, {label:'Living Room', room_type:'living', orientation:'south'}]. Use interior_specify instead for a single room without cross-room grouping. The response includes house_ref -- pass that (not the full response) to palette_pdf's house_ref input to render the flagship document; the full response is often 60-100KB+, too large to safely resend as another tool call's input. The result already carries the rendered palette and its PNG, PDF, ASE, JSON and CSS downloads -- show them to the customer. Never present the archive anchors a colour was derived from as the colours you are recommending. If you go on to choose a final palette OF YOUR OWN from this evidence, call palette_finalize once with those exact colours so the customer can see and download what you actually recommended.

palette_generate changes data unknown never probed

Send a palette of up to 12 slots, locking some with hex values and leaving others empty. Empty slots are filled with the nearest CIEDE2000 archive match, interpolated from the locked anchors. Optional archive filter restricts fills to one archive. Returns full citation — name, archive, primary source, colour notes — for every filled slot. Example: lock a client's existing wall colour and fill a 5-colour scheme from Oxfordshire. The result already carries the rendered palette and its PNG, PDF, ASE, JSON and CSS downloads -- show them to the customer. Never present the archive anchors a colour was derived from as the colours you are recommending.

archive_cliche unknown never probed
Find the most surprising archive colour for a concept and generate a memorable one-liner subverting the obvious expectation. Supply a concept (e.g. 'love', 'grief', 'luxury', 'power') and optionally the expected colour (e.g. 'red' for love). The archive finds the contradiction and Claude writes the one-liner, short story, and tweet. Example: love + red returns Shakespeare's dark green with 'Love is not red. It is the green of someone still waiting in a field.' Use this for public-facing demos, content, and brand storytelling.

agent_brief unknown never probed

Generate a complete colour direction package for another AI agent or image generation model. Fetches a historically grounded archive palette from the concept, then produces: an agent brief (colour direction in prose), colour tokens with hex values and roles, a model-specific image generation prompt, a negative prompt, and lighting notes. Supports midjourney, flux, dalle, stable_diffusion. Example: task='luxury hotel bedroom', concept='Ottoman winter luxury', model='midjourney'. Use this to make Colour Memory the colour layer for other AI systems. Archive-grounded retrieval is evidence-filtered: entries with claim_role='reject' (no primary source and no period connection), stub entries, blank-source entries, and entries below minimum_claim_strength are never selected. If fewer than palette_size colours pass these filters, the call returns an honest incomplete result (ok:false, error_code:INSUFFICIENT_EVIDENCE_ELIGIBLE_PALETTE) rather than padding the palette with rejected or weak evidence. Negative constraints (from 'avoid' or negation phrases in concept like 'must never', 'without', 'not') are also applied to retrieval, not just flagged afterward -- a brief that says a wedding must never feel funereal will not surface mourning-themed colours in the first place. locked_palette calls skip evidence filtering entirely since the caller is supplying colours directly, not requesting archive evidence.

colour_strategy unknown never probed

Single-call commercial colour strategy report. Combines archive grounding, verdict, brand fit, market risk, category cliche check, material behaviour, copy hooks, and usage rules. Input: hex + brand_context (category, positioning, audience, channels) + constraints (avoid, must_work_on) + markets + medium. Output: verdict, strategy summary, archive anchor, commercial signal, category cliche risk level, market reading per market, material notes, usage rules (primary use, secondary use, avoid, pair_with), copy hooks (one_liner, social, brand_rationale), and alternatives. Examples: luxury fragrance brand UK/France/Japan, heritage interior specification, premium ecommerce packaging, SaaS brand identity.

palette_heritage unknown never probed
Given a legacy palette, generate an archive-grounded premium support system. For each existing colour: identifies its historical archive anchor, names it, and scores its provenance confidence. Detects palette gaps and fills them from the archive. Returns full palette with roles, confidence scores, CSS tokens, and production notes. Every addition has a named historical origin. The result already carries the rendered palette and its PNG, PDF, ASE, JSON and CSS downloads -- show them to the customer. Never present the archive anchors a colour was derived from as the colours you are recommending. If you go on to choose a final palette OF YOUR OWN from this evidence, call palette_finalize once with those exact colours so the customer can see and download what you actually recommended.

archive_coverage_gap unknown never probed
Given a list of themes, report which are well-evidenced in the archive and which are under-evidenced or missing. Returns a coverage matrix: for each theme, entries found, coverage grade (strong/moderate/weak/missing), best match with claim strength, and what source type would be needed to improve coverage. Use this BEFORE building an archive_report_brief or brief_forensic to know where the evidence is strong and where gaps will appear. Prevents building beautiful reports that quietly ignore half the brief.

archive_cultural_anachronism reads unknown never probed

Check a list of colour entries for anachronism risk. Detects whether the primary source date falls outside the requested period, whether the archive is a known modern source (RacingSilks, FootballStrips), and returns a period_relevance score and safe phrasing. Essential for historical documents: prevents a 2011 Jockey Club racing silk registration being presented as Georgian evidence. Returns anachronism_risk (none/low/medium/elevated/high), period_relevance score 0-1, safe_phrasing, and unsafe_phrasing for each entry.

Single-call forensic colour brief generator. Runs coverage gap analysis, pulls best archive colours, checks for anachronisms, scores claim roles (anchor/support/analogue/provocation/reject), auto-rejects stubs, generates editorial argument, act structure, pull quote, closing line, and image prompt via Claude. This replaces chaining coverage_gap + archive_report_brief + anachronism_guard + resonance_index + evidence_gap separately. Input: title, audience, themes, archives, period, tone. Output: complete deliverable package ready for PDF or editorial use. Tone options: forensic (default), editorial, clinical, narrative.

archive_evidence_gap unknown never probed
Given a hex value and a proposed claim about it, return whether the archive supports that claim, what is missing, what kind of source would be needed, and safe agent wording. This is Colour Memory's anti-hallucination endpoint. It turns the absence of evidence into a forensic finding rather than a gap to fill with invention. Example: hex #4A535C + proposed claim 'cyanosis in a death chamber' returns: nearest archive support, support level (supported/partial/unsupported), what source type is needed, and safe wording for the agent to use. Essential for museum, documentary, editorial, legal, and forensic workflows.

brand_audit reads unknown never probed

Fast, fully deterministic brand colour audit. Accepts a palette array plus market, use_case, medium and brand_category. COMPUTED SYNCHRONOUSLY, no model call of any kind: colour roles with archive names, the full WCAG accessibility matrix, cultural risk per colour, CSS variables, Tailwind config, design tokens and production notes. NOT COMPUTED HERE: palette interpretation -- the verdict, its score and the written narrative copy. Those require an LLM call and used to be made inside this tool without saying so, which put a normal five-colour audit at 43-45s. The palette_verdict and verdict_copy keys are still returned, carrying interpretation_status='not_computed' plus a ready-to-send palette_verdict.continuation.arguments -- forward those verbatim to the palette_verdict tool to get the interpretation. Replaces chaining accessibility_matrix + cultural_risk_assessment; palette_verdict is now an explicit, optional second call rather than a hidden one. FOR A LIVE-SITE BRAND AUDIT ('audit this website'): inspect representative rendered pages FIRST (homepage, about, one deep page) and pass what you observed as site_evidence -- a CSS scrape alone is not an audit of what a visitor sees, and the response's audit_evidence.audit_status will say PARTIAL until real multi-page rendered evidence is supplied. The result already carries the rendered palette and its PNG, PDF, ASE, JSON and CSS downloads -- show them to the customer. Never present the archive anchors a colour was derived from as the colours you are recommending. If you go on to choose a final palette OF YOUR OWN from this evidence, call palette_finalize once with those exact colours so the customer can see and download what you actually recommended.

Canonical single-call colour truth object. Returns everything known about a hex value: colour science (Lab, LCh, hue, chroma, depth, temperature, LRV), archive anchor with dE2000, claim_strength, do_not_say and evidence grade, hex provenance (status, confidence, spectrophotometric flag), physics (illuminant behaviour, gamut, print risk), and cultural reading (colour family, warnings, positives). Use this as the foundation call when you need the complete picture. Every other tool is built on this data. Replaces chaining colour_dna + archive_provenance + colour_cultural_risk + colour_metrics separately. Examples: '#31559B' (anchors to Henry VIII Manuscript Blue Initials), '#8B1A1A' (Penny Post Sealing Wax Dark Red), '#D4AF37' (Sutton Hoo Great Gold Buckle).

archive_provenance reads unknown never probed
Explains the provenance of a named archive colour: documented fact vs computational derivation vs cultural interpretation, with confidence and citation format. This is one component of colour_passport, but also a standalone research tool for deep provenance work (museum, documentary, editorial). Use colour_passport for a general profile; call this directly for research workflows needing full source-chain detail.

colour_forensics reads unknown never probed

Assess whether a hex colour can be safely specified for a physical application. Returns: specification_safe verdict (yes / conditional / avoid), risks, required actions, light behaviour under three illuminants (north daylight, warm artificial, direct sun), substrate-specific notes, and a recommended alternative. Backed by CIEDE2000 archive matching and Claude material knowledge. Examples: ultramarine on lime plaster, lead white on exterior timber, verdigris on north-facing interior wall, red ochre on historic brick.

project_get unknown never probed
Retrieve summary metadata for a durable house project you own -- title, project type, current version number, schema/archive revision, created/updated timestamps, and the content hash of the requested version. Requires an API key; the project must belong to the calling key. Does NOT return the full house specification (rooms, colours, sources) -- use house_ref with palette_pdf to render a document from a project, or project_versions to see its version history. An unknown, deleted, expired, or not-owned project_id all return the same generic not-found response, by design.

Soft-delete a durable house project you own.

project_export changes data unknown never probed
Export the same house-flagship content palette_pdf renders as a genuinely editable Word document or Excel workbook -- for a client who needs to annotate the scheme, or a contractor building a materials/procurement schedule from it. Accepts exactly one of house_ref or project_id -- an inline house object is refused (400) (same resolution and ownership rules as palette_pdf: an authenticated project_id or house_ref requires its owner; an anonymous temporary house_ref works bearer-only). Never calls house_specify, never re-runs reasoning or re-matches archives -- it renders exactly what was already resolved and stored. DOCX mirrors the PDF flagship's structure (title page, house thesis, whole-house progression, one section per room, implementation details with the same historical/digital-estimate/commercial-candidate distinction, and a deduplicated source appendix) as real editable paragraphs and tables, never images. XLSX produces three sheets: Finishes Schedule (one row per room-surface-colour assignment), Evidence Register (one row per unique colour, the full citation/claim-strength/do_not_say trail), and Paint Procurement (one row per unique paint product, deduplicated for ordering). Every field left blank where the underlying stored data doesn't have it -- nothing is invented. delivery="url" (default) gives a signed R2 download link; delivery="base64" returns the file inline unless the encoded result is too large, in which case it fails closed with OUTPUT_TOO_LARGE_FOR_INLINE_DELIVERY and a repair instruction to use delivery="url" instead.

brand_guideline_specify changes data unknown never probed

Generates the case for a brand's colours, not just the colours themselves: three genuinely different, archive-grounded candidate palettes from a brand brief, each scored for distinctiveness against named competitors, checked for accessibility, and labelled with exactly what each colour can and cannot legitimately claim (documented archive anchor vs analogue vs original brand colour). Returns a brand_ref (valid 24h) plus a claim_id per colour -- resolve those into full source/permitted-claim/do_not_say text with brand_guideline_claims (the response's own claim_detail_available_via field always names it explicitly). Follow with brand_guideline_select to record which candidate was chosen. CREATE ONCE, THEN VERSION: the response returns project_id and current_version. When you refine or update a Brand Standard you already created in this conversation, pass that project_id back as continue_project_id rather than creating a second project. TIMING (2026-08-07): real generation cost ranges roughly 60-280 seconds depending on retrieval/generation path. This call races generation against a safe ~55s window: a fast generation returns the full result exactly as described above, unchanged. A slower generation instead returns a compact {"status": "processing", "brand_job_ref": ..., "poll_after_seconds": ...} -- generation keeps running server-side regardless, and is never lost. Call brand_guideline_status with that brand_job_ref to retrieve the completed result (brand_ref, project_id, candidate summary) once ready; poll no more often than poll_after_seconds suggests.

brand_guideline_select unknown never probed

Records which brand_guideline_specify candidate was chosen, which colours should be locked for future iteration, and which claims should be suppressed -- produces a revised brand_ref (same reference, a new version underneath it, exactly like a versioned house_ref). No accounts or reviewer states yet -- this demonstrates decision-making, not a full approval workflow.

brand_guideline_pdf changes data unknown never probed
Renders a client-facing brand colour standard from an existing brand_ref. The document covers the direction carried forward and its assessment, the colour system in proportion, the argument for the palette, packaging and digital application, a full pairwise WCAG accessibility matrix computed upstream (never hand-drawn examples), and a provenance and evidence register in which every claim is bound to the colour it belongs to. Page count is not fixed: sections that have nothing real to say are omitted rather than padded -- a single-candidate brand_ref drops the comparison spread, and a candidate that was never scored for distinctiveness gets a different page shape rather than an empty scale. Derived colours are never presented in documented-source language. Renders the brand_guideline_select-chosen candidate if one has been recorded, otherwise the strongest eligible candidate as a provisional preview (clearly labelled as such). Reads only the already-persisted, frozen snapshot -- never re-runs brand_guideline_specify, never rematches an archive, never mutates the resolved project. Accepts exactly one of brand_ref or project_id.

brand_guideline_claims unknown never probed

Resolves claim_id values (returned inline on every colour by brand_guideline_specify and brand_guideline_select) into their full claim record: source title/locator/citation, the exact permitted claim text, do_not_say restrictions, and claim_role (anchor/analogue/reject). Read-only -- reads the already-persisted, frozen brand_ref snapshot, never re-runs generation or mutates anything. Omit claim_ids to return every claim on the brand_ref. Accepts exactly one of brand_ref or project_id, same as brand_guideline_pdf.

render_colour_result unknown never probed

Show a finished colour result to the customer AS COLOUR. Call this last, once the palette, house scheme, brand system or audit you are going to hand over has been decided -- it presents what you already have and chooses nothing. Do not call it for a single contrast figure, a colour history question with no palette, or tool guidance. Send the story with it: one sentence on what the scheme IS, the design decision you made, and the one rule worth remembering. The colours cannot carry those on their own.

palette_finalize unknown never probed

Package a palette YOU HAVE ALREADY CHOSEN into a professional, visible, downloadable deliverable. Call this ONCE, after you have decided the final colours for the customer -- it verifies and packages your decision and returns the palette image plus PNG, SVG, PDF, ASE, JSON and CSS. It does not search, select, replace or improve anything: the colours you send are the colours that come back, in your order. Send every final colour with its name, and mark a colour source-backed only if it really is a Colour Memory archive record -- anything unverified is presented as your recommendation, which is the honest description of it.

tool_guide unknown never probed
Deterministic tool-routing lookup -- not an LLM call, always instant, never consumes archive or LLM credit. Give it a goal in plain words (e.g. 'I have a brand colour and want to check it against competitors', 'I want to paint a whole house', 'I have a photo and want the colours from it') and it returns exactly which tool to call first, what to call next, and which superficially-similar tools NOT to start with and why. Use this before guessing between similarly-named tools (e.g. palette_specify vs interior_specify vs house_specify, or colour_passport vs colour_dna).

historical_colour_query unknown never probed
Ask a question about how historical colour authorities actually reasoned, and get evidence with provenance rather than a summary. Covers seven validated source builds -- Jennings (paint recipes, 1902), Bradley (rotating-disc apparatus, 1895), Vanderpoel (quantified object analyses, 1902), Beaumont (woven colour relationships), Hay (harmonic proportional powers, 1838), Guichard (measured spatial extents, 1880) and Hokusai (subject-conditioned colour application, 1848). Each answer names its source, its locator and what that kind of evidence CANNOT support. Use it for questions like 'how do I paint a leaf', 'what did Bradley's disc proportions measure', 'what's the difference between making a colour and applying it', or to check a claim someone has attributed to one of these authors. Crucially, these sources' numbers are NOT interchangeable: a recipe part, a disc share, an object percentage, a proportional power and a measured extent answer different questions, and the response says so explicitly rather than averaging them.

colour_relationships reads unknown never probed
What is this archive record connected to, and why? One-hop lookup over Colour Memory's stored relationship graph -- today populated for PigmentLineage, whose 348 design_combination nodes are Wada's 1933 Dictionary of Color Combinations plates. Returns edges in separate blocks by relationship_class so a caller can never mistake a computed colour distance for something a historical source actually said: SOURCE_ASSERTED (the source itself states the relationship, e.g. 'this colour was assigned to numbered combination 176') versus DETERMINISTIC_STRUCTURAL (a mechanical fact about the source object, e.g. 'printed on this plate'). Every edge carries its own 'does_not_mean' caveat inline -- e.g. membership in the same Wada combination does not assert that any specific pair within it was individually intended as a pairing. Not every record_id has relationships yet; an empty result is a true negative, not an error. Get record_id values from archive_search or colour_card.

why_connected unknown never probed
Are these two specific archive records connected -- and if so, exactly why? Traces the real path between them through Colour Memory's stored relationship graph (e.g. two Wada colours that share membership in the same published combination) and returns the actual path, not just a yes/no. States plainly when two records are NOT connected, and always states what a shared connection does not prove -- e.g. that two colours sharing a Wada combination were independently asserted as a pair, not just co-published in the same numbered plate. Get record_id values from archive_search or colour_card.

vanderpoel_pairing unknown never probed
Emily Noyes Vanderpoel's documented 'good' dyad/triad hue groupings (Color Problems, 1902, Plate XXXVI 'Good Dyads or Pairs' and Plate XXXVII 'Good Triads'), served from the build artefacts vanderpoel_dyads.json and vanderpoel_triads.json. Snaps an input hex to the nearest of Vanderpoel's eleven real hue-family labels, resolves that hex against the archive, and returns every documented dyad or triad the label belongs to -- each OTHER member carrying its own nearest real archive match (CIEDE2000), with hex_collision disclosed when the match is tied. Unlike hay_contrast, this carries NO proportional ratio -- only Vanderpoel's own categorical 'good' editorial judgement, printed verbatim on the plates. Returns groupings: null for a near-neutral input, where hue is not meaningfully defined, or when the nearest hue-family label is a member of no dyad or triad -- silence is the honest answer, not a forced match. Member names come from a transcriber's digitisation_alt_text (an accessibility description of the plate image), not verified printed captions; every response states this caveat explicitly (member_source_caveat), not just a code comment. The hue positions used to snap an input to a label are a modern matching convention, not a number Vanderpoel printed -- disclosed per response as label_placement_basis.

_ try it through the hub, ceiling 0

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.

_ for your README measured, not declared

[![measured by brick.blue](https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/582a055f1bb7d696/badge.svg)](https://brick.blue/agent/582a055f1bb7d696)

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Own the domain? Prove it and the listing carries a verified badge here too: passport.

_ how we know

card completeness

100%

An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.

spec deviations

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.

_ record

Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
