Canonical invocation manual: every way to do anything on miscsubjects, each call tested live
Scope and method
The canonical invocation manual is the single document that shows how to do anything on miscsubjects.com, by every way it can be done, with the exact request and the exact recorded response for each. Every example below was executed against the live site on 2026-09-08 and copied from the recorded response. Nothing in an example is typed from memory. 79 calls were recorded; the re-run script is named at the end.
A reader who knows nothing about this system can operate it after one read. If a sentence here disagrees with a live response, the live response wins, and the sentence is a defect to report.
Six words you need
- Capability. One thing the build can do. Each one is a row in a table called the directory, named by an upper-case key such as
NOWorD1_QUERY. There are 1,201 of them. - Body. The argument string a capability takes. Several arguments are joined with a vertical bar, in the order the row's contract lists them:
blooio|+1415<owner line>|hello. A body that is one JSON document is one argument. - Dispatch. The single door every call goes through:
https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch. Every surface below ends there. - Receipt. The record of one call. Every call returns an invocation id that starts with
inv_and a trace id that starts witht_. A receipt is public at/receipt/<inv_id>. - Token. A credential. Three kinds exist and they are not interchangeable; the next section shows which header each one goes in and what happens when you use the wrong one.
- Tag. The text form of a call:
[KEY]body[/KEY]. A model that can only write text calls a capability by writing its tag.
The one rule
Read the object before you call it. GET /api/dispatch?key=KEY returns the contract with the exact call shape. Guessing a key or an argument order is the most common failure; an unknown key returns did_you_mean suggestions, shown in the errors section.
Credentials: which one, in which header
| Credential | Who holds it | Where it goes | Works on |
|---|---|---|---|
| Terminal key | the owner and the owner's own machines | header x-terminal-key: <TERMINAL_KEY> | /api/dispatch, /api/articles, /api/sheets, /api/work, /api/aig (there as authorization: Bearer) |
| Share token | anyone the owner minted one for | query ?share=<TOKEN> on /api/dispatch, or authorization: Bearer <TOKEN> | only the scope it was minted with |
| MCP token | Model Context Protocol clients | header authorization: Bearer <MCP_TOKEN> on /api/mcp only | the MCP endpoint |
Three facts, each tested:
- The terminal key sent as
authorization: Bearerto dispatch is read as a share token and refused astoken_corrupted. The header name isx-terminal-key. - The terminal key sent to
/api/mcpin any header is refused. The MCP endpoint takes only the MCP token, which is a different secret. - A public read needs no credential. A public invoke without a token is refused with a note that names the three credentials that would have worked:
curl -sS \
'https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?invoke=NOW'Response, HTTP 401:
{
"error": "unauthorized",
"note": "invoke needs an owner access key, an act share link, or a row:NOW share link"
}Every question about tokens beyond this manual (minting, self-scoping, drops, expiry, troubleshooting) defers to the canonical token manual at https://miscsubjects.com/a/oip-tap-go.
1. Discover what exists (public, no credential)
1.1 The protocol index
GET /api/dispatch with no parameters returns the protocol itself: version, the invariant loop, and every endpoint with its method, URL and body shape. This is the authoritative list of operations; the sections below are those operations executed.
curl -sS 'https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch'Endpoints it lists, as recorded on 2026-09-08: invoke, shape (dry run), receipt, replay, repair, work, explain, mint, attenuate (reduce a token), revoke, profile, orient, why, conformance, federation_test, well_known, inbox, federation_ledger, governance, governance_participate, fed_send, conversation, email_drop, email_carrier, tenancy, tree, map, registry, object, schema, invocations, manifest_fn, system_map.
1.2 One read to be oriented
GET /api/dispatch?orient=1&format=markdown returns who you work for, the operating rules, the surface counts (1,201 capabilities; runners: edge 286, fn 484, http 272, model 72, mac 43, flow 30, apps_script 9, sibling 5), and a dozen ready-to-fire URLs. Read it once.
1.3 Ask in plain words

1.4 Read one object's contract
JSON form:
curl -sS 'https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?key=NOW'Returns _self (what, when to use, how to run, inputs, outputs, auth and risk, operation semantics, affordances) and object (the row). Markdown form for a model:
curl -sS 'https://miscsubjects.com/api/dispatch?key=NOW&format=markdown'The row itself, without the OIP wrapper: GET /api/directory/NOW. The contract text lives in content and always has the same fields: # WHAT, # WHEN_TO_USE, # ARGS, # EX, and often # OUTPUT and # TESTS.

}Grammar, exactly as the parser applies it: [KEY]body[/KEY]; KEY is upper-case letters, digits and underscore only; [ KEY ] with spaces is malformed and never runs. Meta tags (DONE, LOOP, BATCH, REPLY, REASONING, AUDIO, NOREPLY, SELF, TOOL_CHOICE, DECISION) are protocol and never dispatch.
The as name binding suffix ([NOW][/NOW] as t, then $t in a later tag) works inside the router's own loop, where results are pasted back and the model continues. It does not substitute inside a single emit call; the second tag below received the literal text $t:

}To have a model actually loop with tags, use the router row or the browser relay (section 5).
2.4 MCP
The server is https://miscsubjects.com/api/mcp, streamable HTTP, JSON-RPC. It publishes every enabled, planner-visible row as a tool. Named arguments are joined with | in the row's argument order before dispatch; the schema is descriptive. Use authorization: Bearer <MCP_TOKEN>.
curl -sS \
-X POST \
'https://miscsubjects.com/api/mcp' \
-H 'authorization: Bearer <TERMINAL_KEY>' \
-H 'content-type: application/json' \
--data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "initialize", "params": {"protocolVersion": "2025-03-26", "capabilities": {}, "clientInfo": {"name": "canon", "version": "1"}}}'Response, HTTP 401:
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": null,
"error": {
"code": -32001,
"message": "unauthorized: send Authorization: Bearer <MCP_TOKEN>"
}
}That refusal is the terminal key being tried on the MCP door: it does not work there. With the MCP token the same three calls succeed (initialize, tools/list, tools/call); the client configuration that Claude Code uses is:
{"mcpServers": {"miscsubjects": {"type": "http", "url": "https://miscsubjects.com/api/mcp", "headers": {"Authorization": "Bearer <MCP_TOKEN>"}}}}A tools/call looks like:
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":3,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"NOW","arguments":{}}}and returns the dispatch result as text content with isError set when the result begins with ERR:. Two limits, both observed: nested objects in arguments are stringified as [object Object], so pass a JSON document as one string argument; and the response does not carry the receipt id, so read the ledger by trace if you need proof. Both are open repair tasks (WT-0159).

}Column B holds the dispatch envelope the kernel hands an agent (key, ok, ms, trace, ledger link); column C holds the raw result. =TAG(A1,"verdict") gives WORKED or FAILED; =TAG(A1,"trace") the trace. =INVOKE("NOW") and =DISPATCH("D1_QUERY","select 1 as one") call by key without a tag. Append rows with POST /api/sheets/<id>/values:append {"values":[[…]]}. The sheet's own manual: GET /api/sheets/<id>/self?format=markdown.
A Google Sheet works the same way as an inbox: the model writes the tag in column A of a shared tab, the build runs it and writes the result beside it (see docs/COLD_MODELS.md on the build, or GET /api/dispatch?key=SHEETS).
2.6 A browser model as the caller
See 5.3. The model writes tags; the relay runs them under the caller's authority; the results are pasted back; the model continues until it answers with no tags.

WEBMODEL_AGENT gives a logged-in web model the directory as text and lets it call capabilities by writing tags. The relay runs each tag under your authority, pastes results back into the same conversation, and stops when the model answers with no tags. Every tool call has its own receipt.

7. Articles
An article is one object with several representations: page, JSON, markdown bundle, sources, provenance, revisions, invocations.
7.1 Read
| Representation | URL |
|---|---|
| Page | GET /a/<slug> |
| JSON (slug, title, body, tags, claims, sources, revisions, provenance, machine, representations) | GET /api/articles/<slug> |
| Clean markdown for a model | GET /api/articles/<slug>/bundle?format=markdown |
| Revision history | GET /api/articles/<slug>/revisions?limit=N&format=md |
| Sources, provenance, invocations | GET /api/articles/<slug>/sources, /provenance, /invocations |

7.2 Create or replace
PUT /api/articles/<slug> with x-terminal-key. The write passes a gauntlet, in this order: headline preflight (title between about 30 and 120 characters, shaped as "name: what it does"), CLAIM_LAW (at least three claims, each {id,text,tier,source_ids,why_material}; tiers include runtime, review, expert, definition), the writing-law token, and SEO_GATE (at least one tags entry). Every sources entry needs a url, a verbatim quote of at least 40 characters, and a summary.
The writing-law token: GET /api/writing-law/lease returns law_hash and 125 clauses; POST /api/writing-law/lease {law_hash, slug, body, agent, attestations} with thirteen attestations (W21, W22, W111–W114, W118–W124), each {how: ≥40 chars, quote: ≥24 chars copied verbatim from the exact body}, returns a single-use wlt_ token good for 15 minutes; send it as x-writing-law-token. Any change to body or title after the lease invalidates it, so lease and PUT in one breath. Publishing the manual used exactly that call; the recorded exchange:

A flow is a directory row whose content chains other rows. Grammar: STEP > STEP runs in order with $PREV as the previous output; STEP | STEP fans out; KEY: body is one step; $1 is the run input; $PREV.body.items[0].id walks into the previous output; JSON: $.path pulls a value; EACH: KEY: body runs a step per element (capped at 25); MERGE: a=$x, b=$y builds an object. A flow that hits an ERR: stops there and the receipt names the step. Each step is its own ledger row under one trace.

14. Re-run everything
The examples come from four scripts that record every request and response as JSON, and a renderer that fills the manual from those records. Run them again and republish; the manual then describes today, not 2026-09-08. The scripts and the recorded results were delivered with the manual to the owner's Downloads folder as canonical-manual-tests/. The protocol's own conformance run is GET /api/dispatch?conformance=1&format=markdown.

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 14 claims are extracted and stored on the object.
- sources open 5 sources are registered on the object; each opens from the page.
- claims bound 14 of 14 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/canonical-invocation-manual/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/canonical-invocation-manual/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/canonical-invocation-manual?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/canonical-invocation-manual/write/<base64url payload>, and this form. What to do for your specific tool, by name: /api/comments/how.

Key evidence
runtime
On 2026-09-08 the protocol index at GET /api/dispatch listed 33 endpoints and the registry counted 1,201 objects.
sources: s1
runtime
The terminal key presented as an authorization Bearer header to /api/dispatch is refused as token_corrupted, while the same key in the x-terminal-key header executes.
sources: s1
runtime
The MCP endpoint /api/mcp refuses the terminal key in every header and accepts only the separate MCP token.
sources: s1
runtime
The emit door runs every executable tag in a text, leaves a tag quoted inside [REPLY] inert, and does not substitute a $name binding within one call.
sources: s4
runtime
The live conformance run reports all 45 protocol clauses holding on the build.
sources: s3
runtime
A public GET /api/dispatch?invoke=NOW without a token is refused as unauthorized with a note naming the three credentials that would have worked.
sources: s1
runtime
A row token minted for NOW executed NOW, was refused as scope_mismatch on D1_QUERY, and after revocation was refused as revoked.
sources: s1
runtime
A sheet cell holding [NOW][/NOW] with =TAG(A1) beside it returned the dispatch envelope with a trace, through the same parser and dispatcher a model turn uses.
sources: s1
runtime
Adding shape:true to a dispatch body returns the fully shaped outbound call with ran:false and fires nothing.

runtime
GET /api/dispatch?confirm=inv_ID and GET /receipt/inv_ID answer without a credential, while GET /api/dispatch?receipt=inv_ID requires one.

WEBMODEL_AGENT handed a logged-in ChatGPT session the NOW capability, the model called it by tag, and the relay returned the time as its final answer.
The browser-model door is proven end to end rather than described.

CLI_CLAUDE_CODE started a headless Claude Code run on the owner Mac that printed OK and returned within fifteen seconds; CLI_SPAWN with kimi returned ok:false in the same run.
One spawn door is proven and one is recorded as unproven, so a reader does not over-trust the second.
