Read change events

list_events Read independent link, target or citation feeds. Save each feed cursor after applying the full page. Citation changes compare eligible epochs; unknown never proves loss.

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
`events: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.

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "list_events",
    "arguments": {
      "feed": "links",
      "limit": 50
    }
  }
}

agentlinkops call list_events --args '{"feed":"links","limit":50}'

curl --fail-with-body https://app.agentlinkops.com/v1/commands/list_events \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AGENTLINKOPS_TOKEN" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"feed":"links","limit":50}'

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.

{
  "workspace_id": "ws_example",
  "events": [],
  "next_cursor": "example_opaque_cursor",
  "has_more": false
}

Response formats

format selects the row shape. detailed is the example above: every field. concise keeps, per row: id, type, watch_id, target_id, created_at, cursor, data (before and after snapshots without occurrences, expectations and signatures; observation_id; evidence_key); every top-level field (cursors, counts, coverage, metadata) is kept in both. The observation state an unknown-versus-absent decision depends on is never dropped. MCP and code mode default to concise; the CLI and HTTP default to detailed; the response names the default it applied in defaults_applied.

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
`feed`	string	Required	Event feed: links (placements), targets (destination health) or citations; each has its own cursor. values: `"links"`, `"targets"`, `"citations"`
`cursor`	string	Optional	Opaque list cursor; omit initially. minLength: `1`; maxLength: `16384`
`limit`	integer	Optional	Page/report row cap; see bounds. minimum: `1`; maximum: `100`; default: `50`
`browse`	boolean	Optional	Server-sorted authorized saved rows; omit for legacy paging.
`sort`	string	Optional	Allowlisted saved-field identifier. minLength: `1`; maxLength: `80`
`order`	string	Optional	Sort direction; stable ID ties, nulls last. values: `"asc"`, `"desc"`
`q`	string	Optional	Literal search of supported saved fields. maxLength: `500`
`table_filters`	string / array	Optional	Up to 12 allowlisted column filters before paging.
`table_filters[].column`	string	Required	minLength: `1`; maxLength: `80`
`table_filters[].operator`	string	Required	values: `"contains"`, `"is"`, `"is_not"`, `"empty"`
`table_filters[].value`	string	Required	maxLength: `500`
`projectId`	string	Optional	project ID from create/list. minLength: `1`; maxLength: `200`
`format`	string	Optional	Concise: decisions/next calls/evidence states; detailed: all. MCP/code default concise, REST/CLI detailed; defaults_applied records defaults. values: `"concise"`, `"detailed"`

Validation and omitted values

feed selects one of three independent feeds with separate cursors: links for placement changes, targets for destination-health changes, or citations for eligible citation comparisons. Never reuse a cursor across feeds. The retired names list_link_events and list_target_events resolve here with the link or target feed implied. Omit cursor for the first page. Keep continuation cursors opaque and use them only with the same listing and filters. Omitting projectId reads the accessible workspace scope rather than selecting a different project. Ordinary feed polling orders events by sequence ascending. Apply the entire returned page before persisting the next cursor. Each event feed has its own cursor history. Without a cursor, reads start at the beginning of retained source-event history. An expired supplied cursor returns snapshot recovery instructions. Without a cursor, reads start at the beginning of retained destination-event history. An expired supplied cursor returns destination snapshot recovery instructions. The citations feed has its own cursor and contains server-recomputed eligible epoch comparisons. Imported single-answer flips and unknown-only epochs do not emit a change. Statistical interpretation remains conditional on prespecified comparisons and sampling assumptions. With browse=true and feed=links, table_filters and sort can use change (found, back, lost or missing) and importance (important or detail). Found, back and lost come from placement events; missing records a move into confirmed_missing and does not count as lost. These are browse expressions, not added fields in returned event objects. With browse=true, both links and targets support last_7_days and last_30_days filters. Use a filter such as {"column":"last_7_days","operator":"is","value":"yes"}. Each range starts at UTC midnight 6 or 29 days before the read and includes later events; it is a calendar-day lower bound. Ordinary sequence-cursor polling does not use these browse filters.

Defaults when omitted

Output fields

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

total (integer / null, optional).
has_more (boolean, required): True when another page is available.
next_cursor (string / null, required): Opaque checkpoint for this feed. Save it after processing the events, even when has_more is false. Continue paging only while has_more is true.
page (object, optional).
workspace_id (string, optional): Workspace that owns this record.
events (array, 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

These existing resource routes share the operation’s domain behavior. Their parameter placement, status and response envelope can differ from generic invocation. See HTTP route details.

Method and route	Success	Details
`GET /v1/events`	200	The URL selects the links feed. Remaining feed arguments go in query parameters; preserve this feed and scope on continuation. With browse=true, table_filters supports change, importance, last_7_days and last_30_days; these expressions do not add response fields. HTTP table_filters is a JSON-encoded array string.
`GET /v1/target-events`	200	The URL selects the targets feed. Remaining feed arguments go in query parameters; preserve this feed and scope on continuation. This target resource response keeps the detailed row format. With browse=true, table_filters supports last_7_days and last_30_days as UTC calendar-day lower bounds; change and importance are link-feed expressions. HTTP table_filters is a JSON-encoded array string.
`GET /v1/citation-events`	200	The URL selects the citations feed. Remaining feed arguments go in query parameters; preserve this feed and scope on continuation.
