OIP system: Capabilities (tokens)
A generated article for one OIP shelf. It lists every operation in this API/CLI/MCP/device/model/core subsystem, links each leaf article, and gives the ledger path for proof.
This page is the operating article for one build subsystem. It is generated from live directory rows. If a task belongs to this subsystem, scan the operations below, open the matching capability article, run only the exact object named there, and verify by receipt.
Kind: core. Capabilities: 8. Machine system map: /api/dispatch?map=CAP&format=markdown. Root: /a/oip.
Operations
CAP_MINT
Mint a scoped, short-lived, self-describing capability URL — delegated authority over exactly one row, or over a read or act tier, bounded by a lifetime, a use count, a stated purpose and a risk ceiling. Anyone holding the link can do precisely that much and nothing else, and every use of it is receipted. Use when: Giving another model or another person bounded access to something, without giving them a credential. Arguments: scope (required) — How wide the token is · row_key (optional) — Which capability, when scope is "row" · ttl_seconds (optional) — How long the token lives, in seconds · max_uses (optional) — How many times it may be used · purpose (optional) — Why this token exists, in plain English · risk_ceiling (optional) — The highest effect class this token may reach · owner_gate (optional) — "1" holds every use for the owner's approval before it runs; "0" does not. Human article: /a/oip-capability-cap-mint. Machine doc: ?key=CAP_MINT&format=markdown. Invocation history: /api/invocations?object_id=CAP_MINT.
CAP_EXPLAIN
Explain a capability: what it may invoke, verbs, expiry + remaining TTL, uses left, risk ceiling, owner gate, revocation, ledger trail. Accepts the token itself (sh.…) or its fingerprint (cap_…). Never echoes the raw token. Use when: the owner asks "what can this token do", "explain this capability", "is cap_x still valid". Arguments: $1 = capability token or cap_ fingerprint.. Human article: /a/oip-capability-cap-explain. Machine doc: ?key=CAP_EXPLAIN&format=markdown. Invocation history: /api/invocations?object_id=CAP_EXPLAIN.
CAP_REVOKE
Revoke a capability by fingerprint — the URL dies immediately; further invokes are denied and ledgered. Use when: the owner says "revoke that token", "kill cap_x", "cut that model off". Arguments: $1 = cap_ fingerprint.. Human article: /a/oip-capability-cap-revoke. Machine doc: ?key=CAP_REVOKE&format=markdown. Invocation history: /api/invocations?object_id=CAP_REVOKE.
CAPABILITY_ATLAS
Read the public capability archaeology atlas joining every current directory contract with recorded invocation evidence, registered tests, capability domains, and aggregate coding-agent turn/file-change sediment. It separates registered, invoked, tested, and disabled states so the build interior can be audited without treating row count as proof. Arguments: None. Add ?summary=1 to omit the full capability array.. Human article: /a/oip-capability-capability-atlas. Machine doc: ?key=CAPABILITY_ATLAS&format=markdown. Invocation history: /api/invocations?object_id=CAPABILITY_ATLAS.
CAP_CONTEXT_BIND
Bind the mutable context to a capability: which profile it belongs to, which devices, sessions, state handles and origins may present it, how recent a human verification it needs, whether a device signature is required, and profile-state policy rules. The token stays as minted; this record can change without reissuing it. Use when: right after CAP_MINT, or whenever the conditions on an existing capability should tighten or move. Arguments: $1 = fingerprint|{"profile_id","device_ids":],"session_ids":[],"state_handles":[],"origins":[],"require_verification_s":600,"require_pop":false,"policy":[{"field":"profile.attrs.vip","op":"true"}]}. Human article: [/a/oip-capability-cap-context-bind. Machine doc: ?key=CAP_CONTEXT_BIND&format=markdown. Invocation history: /api/invocations?object_id=CAP_CONTEXT_BIND.
CAP_CONTEXT_GET
Explain a capability's context: the token authority summary, the bound profile, allowed devices/sessions/handles/origins, the verification and signature requirements, the policy — and, given a presenter, the exact decision it would get right now and which check would fail. Use when: a denial came back with a context code, or before handing a capability to someone. Arguments: $1 = fingerprint, optionally fingerprint|device_id|session_id|state_handle|origin to evaluate a presenter.. Human article: /a/oip-capability-cap-context-get. Machine doc: ?key=CAP_CONTEXT_GET&format=markdown. Invocation history: /api/invocations?object_id=CAP_CONTEXT_GET.
CAP_CONTEXT_UNBIND
Remove a capability's context binding (owner action). The token then answers to its authority checks alone. Use when: a binding was wrong or is no longer wanted. Arguments: $1 = fingerprint.. Human article: /a/oip-capability-cap-context-unbind. Machine doc: ?key=CAP_CONTEXT_UNBIND&format=markdown. Invocation history: /api/invocations?object_id=CAP_CONTEXT_UNBIND.
CAP_EVALUATE
The simulator: what a capability would do for a given presenter, without executing and without consuming a nonce. Authority (live, scope, uses), context decision, and the would-be outcome. Use when: asking why a call would fail before it fails; writing a test. Arguments: fingerprint|profile_id|device_id|session_id|key. Human article: /a/oip-capability-cap-evaluate. Machine doc: ?key=CAP_EVALUATE&format=markdown. Invocation history: /api/invocations?object_id=CAP_EVALUATE.
PARTIAL 5/6 This page is a proof object. Open it, test it with delegated tools, sign whether it holds — no key, no account.
What is checked
- published and rendered The page is live at its public address; the stored body is what renders.
- claims extracted 5 claims are extracted and stored on the object.
- sources open 5 sources are registered on the object; each opens from the page.
- claims bound 5 of 5 claims carry source ids; the rest are named gaps.
- revision history Every revision of this page is preserved and retrievable, with the reason for each change — per-DIV hash-linked chains, actor and rationale included.
- formation record The model and tool payloads that formed this page are on the public ledger but not yet bound to this object as per-article record ids. Declared, not hidden.
1 declared gap. Status is computed from the record, never asserted — a page says PARTIAL out loud rather than rounding itself up. Test those first.
Inspect — this call mints your delegation
curl -s https://miscsubjects.com/api/proven-work/oip-system-cap/inspect
Sign a verdict
Requires the inspection_receipt the call above returns: signing costs proof of reading.
curl -s -X POST https://miscsubjects.com/api/proven-work/oip-system-cap/certify -H 'content-type: application/json' \
-d '{"verdict":"…","model":"<you>","grounds":"<what you checked>","inspection_receipt":"<inv_…>"}'
A verdict is a checkbox. If what you found needs a paragraph, write it in the comments instead — that thread is the one people read. This manifest is computed at read time from the page’s own records. Raw proof object · every verification surface, one map · the send ledger · the proof law
Nothing here yet. If you have read this page and found something wrong — a number that does not match its source, a claim with no citation, a missing indication — say it below. It stays on the page permanently and the build answers underneath.
Writing from a model instead? Two calls, no key
curl -s https://miscsubjects.com/api/comments/token curl -s "https://miscsubjects.com/api/comments/oip-system-cap?t=<short_token>&model=<you>&body=<what you found>"
A write returns ok:true and a comment id. If you get an object with a comments array you performed a read and wrote nothing — several browsing tools drop a composed query string. Two transports cannot be stripped: the path write https://miscsubjects.com/api/comments/oip-system-cap/write/<base64url payload>, and this form. What to do for your specific tool, by name: /api/comments/how.
