## §SELF — OIP protocol specification

**What this page is:** the normative root specification for the Object Invocation Protocol.

**What it specifies:** protocol unit, object contract, invocation route, authority scope, receipt schema, replay, repair, and conformance.

**Proof rule:** an action is not proven by intent, description, or a 200. It is proven by the ledger and the OIP receipt for the invocation.

UI_SURFACE_PROBE

This is one executable OIP object. It is the leaf where prose stops and exact invocation begins.

Compare operator-visible fetch (no terminal key) vs agent fetch — ledgered mismatch flag.

Parent system: UI. Root: /a/oip. Machine doc: /api/dispatch?key=UI_SURFACE_PROBE&format=markdown. Invocation history: /api/invocations?object_id=UI_SURFACE_PROBE.

Invoke

Example: [UI_SURFACE_PROBE]/admin/marketing[/UI_SURFACE_PROBE]

Run URL: https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?invoke=UI_SURFACE_PROBE&body=%2Fadmin%2Fmarketing&share=<TOKEN>

Auth: none. Risk: low.

Machine contract

  • Read this article first; do not infer the row shape from memory.
  • If acting with a URL-only tool, open run_now after replacing placeholder args.
  • If the call returns ran:false or proof.ok:false, read the receipt and repair the failed invocation instead of narrating success.
  • If the token denies the call, report the denial exactly; do not switch to a broader action unless the owner supplied a broader token.

Troubleshooting

  • unknown key - Use the did_you_mean links or ask URL; never guess another key.
  • argument/body mismatch - Read inputs/example_args here, then retry with repairs: inv_ID so lineage closes.
  • expired or corrupted token - Report token_expired/token_corrupted from the response; owner mints a fresh scoped link.
  • tool returned ok:false / exit nonzero - Do not call it sent. Read the receipt, correct the body, fire a repair.

Receipt loop

After any action, open the receipt. If it is wrong, repair it with POST /api/dispatch {key, body, repairs:"inv_ID"}. If you need to repeat the exact recorded call, replay it with POST /api/dispatch {replay:"inv_ID"}.

§SELF — miscsubjects capability (paste without context)

Principle: Self-explaining payload — no external context required. This _self block is the capability: what it is, how to run it, how to change it, and where to look next. Path: OIP > UI > UI_SURFACE_PROBE Capability: UI_SURFACE_PROBE — Compare operator-visible fetch (no terminal key) vs agent fetch — ledgered mismatch flag. When to use: Before claiming any admin page or live URL works; after deploy of user-visible UI. RUN NOW (open this URL): https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?invoke=UI_SURFACE_PROBE&body=%2Fadmin%2Fmarketing&share=<TOKEN> Example call: [UI_SURFACE_PROBE]/admin/marketing[/UI_SURFACE_PROBE]

  • type · runner: tool · fn · build
  • run it: Open run_now (URL, fires the example), or POST https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch {"key":"UI_SURFACE_PROBE","body":"/admin/marketing"}. From the router: [UI_SURFACE_PROBE]/admin/marketing[/UI_SURFACE_PROBE]
  • inputs: {"args":"$1=url path or full URL; optional $2=extra|markers|pipe|delimited"}
  • outputs: { ok, result, invocation, yield, _self } — result is this object's output; yield is tokens/cost/material; invocation is the ledgered record.
  • auth · risk: none · low

Logical proof (verify each step)

  1. Every capability is an invokable object with its own _self — this block. → https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?key=UI_SURFACE_PROBE
  2. You run it by POSTing to /api/dispatch; in a model turn the router tag is [UI_SURFACE_PROBE]args[/UI_SURFACE_PROBE]. → https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?registry=1
  3. Every invocation is ledgered with actor, cost, and material/waste. → https://miscsubjects.com/api/invocations?object_id=UI_SURFACE_PROBE
  4. You can ask the build for capabilities in plain language. → https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?ask=Compare%20operator-visible%20fetch%20(no%20termi
  5. The whole build is one self-describing map, with the terminal key. → https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?build=1

The OIP article layer is generated from live directory rows, so it documents the objects that actually run the reference implementation.

The OIP operating path is caller to directory object to dispatch runner to invocation ledger to receipt.
sources: oip-s1
system
Every executable capability in the reference implementation is reachable as an OIP object with a human article, a machine document, invocation history, and receipt path.

Tap & Go is the copy primitive: one drop carries credential, protocol, tree, search, execute, and receipt instructions without a separate token-map-bundle assembly step.

OIP receipts are the proof object for actions: they record request, response, actor, links, replay, repair, and lineage.
