Get index observation

get_index_observation Read one index observation and its retained provider snapshot. Expired snapshots remain explicitly unavailable.

Name recorded in the 2026-10-27 deployment. This page describes current source; verify inputs and access in your connected catalog. Provider configuration and workspace access still apply.

Access	Behavior
`discovery:read`	Reads saved data

This read does not start a verification job.

Example request

Connect through MCP, CLI, or HTTP. Replace example identifiers with records from your workspace.

Returned result

Schema-validated example; IDs and dates are illustrative. MCP returns this data in structuredContent and in a text content block; generic HTTP and CLI return the JSON result directly.

Input fields

Omit optional fields when you do not want to supply them. Null is accepted only where listed. Unknown input properties are rejected.

Field	Type	Presence	Meaning and constraints
`projectId`	string	Required	project ID from create/list. minLength: `1`; maxLength: `256`
`watchId`	string	Required	watch ID from create/list. minLength: `1`; maxLength: `256`
`receiptId`	string	Required	receipt ID from create/list. pattern: `"^[a-f0-9]{64}$"`

Validation and omitted values

Requires operator activation and the caller’s current project grant. Source URL indexing remains independent from backlink presence. Expired raw snapshots return evidenceAvailable:false with retained metadata. Missing or malformed provider responses are not fabricated as snapshots.

Output fields

Fields inside optional or nullable parents apply only when that parent exists. Common schema conventions explain evidence states, empty lists and extensions.

observation (object, required).
rawResponse (any, required).
evidenceAvailable (boolean, required).

Errors and retries

Follow the error recovery before retrying this read. Preserve the selected workspace, project, filters and feed. Recovering a read does not require an idempotency key or another verification job. See error recovery for status, scope, cooldown, cursor and retry handling. Unknown observations are result data and do not establish loss.

HTTP resource routes

This operation has no separate resource alias. Use its generic command route in a matching environment.
