# Get profile distributions

> Read retained monitored distributions, optional frozen inventory comparison and a selected index-source timeline.

`get_profile_distributions`

Read retained monitored distributions, optional frozen inventory comparison and a selected index-source timeline. No collection or provider request.

<Note>Available in the deployed MCP and HTTP bundle. Confirm access and inputs with your connected catalog. Workspace scopes and enabled providers still apply.</Note>

| Access         | Behavior         |

| `watches:read` | Reads saved data |

This read does not start a verification job.

## Example request

Connect through [MCP](/guides/connect-mcp), [CLI](/guides/connect-cli), or [HTTP](/guides/connect-http). Replace example identifiers with records from your workspace.

<CodeGroup>
  ```json MCP theme={null}
  {
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "tools/call",
    "params": {
      "name": "get_profile_distributions",
      "arguments": {
        "projectId": "project_example",
        "limit": 25
      }
    }
  }
  ```

  ```bash CLI theme={null}
  agentlinkops call get_profile_distributions --args '{"projectId":"project_example","limit":25}'
  ```

  ```bash HTTP theme={null}
  curl "$AGENTLINKOPS_API_URL/v1/commands/get_profile_distributions" \

## Returned result

Illustrative data validated against the documented response schema. IDs and dates are examples, not a live account capture. 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 | Identifier of the project returned by its create or list operation. minLength: 1; maxLength: 200                        |
| `status`                  | string  | Optional | Lifecycle status filter or requested status; this is separate from observation state. values: "all", "active", "paused" |
| `limit`                   | integer | Optional | Maximum rows in this page or bounded report; subject to the schema maximum. minimum: 1; maximum: 100                    |
| `comparison`              | object  | Optional | The comparison value; allowed values and bounds are specified in this schema. additional fields rejected                |
| `comparison.setId`        | string  | Required | Identifier returned by the related operation. minLength: 1; maxLength: 200                                              |
| `comparison.revision`     | integer | Required | maximum: 9007199254740991; exclusiveMinimum: 0                                                                          |
| `comparison.inventoryIds` | array   | Required | minItems: 1; maxItems: 11                                                                                               |
| `indexSourceKey`          | string  | Optional | The index source key value; allowed values and bounds are specified in this schema. minLength: 1; maxLength: 512        |

### Validation and omitted values

Uses retained observations and optional frozen competitor inventories. Dataset coverage and denominators stay separate; missing evidence is unknown.

Index status requires a selected retained source timeline. Locator output is a dated snapshot, never a fresh crawl or proof of current visibility.

## Output fields

Fields inside optional or nullable parents apply only when that parent exists. [Common schema conventions](/reference/schemas) explain evidence states, empty lists and extensions.

* **`monitored`** (object, required): additional fields rejected
* **`comparison`** (object / null, required).
* **`index`** (object / null, required).

## Errors and retries

The command is annotated idempotent. Reuse an accepted idempotency key when the input provides one; changing the payload under a reused key can conflict.

See [error recovery](/reference/errors) 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.
