Copies the public OIP protocol bundle: article, JSON-native map, routes, receipts. No owner token.

§SELF — protocol specification
## §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.

**Read:** https://miscsubjects.com/a/oip-system-watch
**Machine bundle:** https://miscsubjects.com/api/articles/oip-system-watch/bundle?format=markdown
**Live object tree:** https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?map=1&format=markdown
**Find an object from plain language:** https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?ask=<what you want>
**Read one object:** https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?key=<KEY>&format=markdown

**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.

WATCH

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: 4. Machine system map: /api/dispatch?map=WATCH&format=markdown. Root: /a/oip.

Operations

WATCH_ACTION

Pre-flight gate. Given a proposed {key, body}, look up watch_rules and return {allowed:bool, reason}. Use BEFORE invoking any potentially destructive directory key. $1=KEY, $2=body Use when: you need to watch action Arguments: $1 | $2. Human article: /a/oip-capability-watch-action. Machine doc: ?key=WATCH_ACTION&format=markdown. Invocation history: /api/invocations?object_id=WATCH_ACTION.

WATCH_RULE_ADD

Add a deny rule to watch_rules. $1=pattern_key (regex over KEY), $2=pattern_body (regex over body, optional), $3=reason, $4=action (default "deny"). Returns {ok,id,...} Use when: you need to watch rule add Arguments: $1 | $2 | $3 | $4. Human article: /a/oip-capability-watch-rule-add. Machine doc: ?key=WATCH_RULE_ADD&format=markdown. Invocation history: /api/invocations?object_id=WATCH_RULE_ADD.

WATCH_RULE_LIST

List every watch_rules entry Use when: you need to watch rule list Arguments: none. Human article: /a/oip-capability-watch-rule-list. Machine doc: ?key=WATCH_RULE_LIST&format=markdown. Invocation history: /api/invocations?object_id=WATCH_RULE_LIST.

WATCH_RULE_DELETE

Delete a watch_rules entry by id. $1=id Use when: you need to watch rule delete Arguments: $1. Human article: /a/oip-capability-watch-rule-delete. Machine doc: ?key=WATCH_RULE_DELETE&format=markdown. Invocation history: /api/invocations?object_id=WATCH_RULE_DELETE.

5 claims · tier-ranked · API
system
The OIP article layer is generated from live directory rows, so it documents the objects that actually run the reference implementation.
sources: oip-s3, oip-s4
system
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.
sources: oip-s2, oip-s3
system
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.
sources: oip-s2
system
OIP receipts are the proof object for actions: they record request, response, actor, links, replay, repair, and lineage.
sources: oip-s2, oip-s5
