answer service

Agents asking what Wulf A. Kaal has argued should not have to infer it. The Answer Service returns the claim, the exact passage it rests on, the hash of the source document, and the conditions under which the claim was made.

Two surfaces, deliberately separated. The agentic claim graph is a static projection of the corpus into agent capability structure. The Answer Service is the retrieval interface over it. The graph is published here. The service runs off site and is read only.

Two MCP tools are exposed: answer_question, which takes a question and an optional limit between 1 and 20, and graph_status, which returns graph and service scope. No authentication, no keys.

curl -s -X POST https://kaal-answer-service.wulf577462.chatgpt.site/api/answer -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"question":"What has Wulf A. Kaal written about verified reputation?","limit":5}'

Every response carries answer_contract_version, a coverage_status, a retrieval summary, an authority block naming the graph and its source authorities, and an explicit limitations array. Each claim carries:

• claim_id and canonical_url, resolving into the published claim layer
• attribution: author, ORCID, attribution status, and class
• evidence.exact_source_passage with passage_sha256 and source_sha256
• source: title, full citation, source hash, paper graph identifier
• scope_conditions, the conditions the claim was argued under
• topics, capabilities, confidence, and verification_status

Scope conditions are not decoration. A claim about reputation voting inside a DAO of DAOs is not a claim about reputation systems generally, and the response says so.

Graph identifier kaal:agentic-claim-graph:eligible-1320:v1, state public, built 20 August 2026.

• index.json, the entry point
• graph.jsonld, the graph itself
• manifest.json, digests and counts
• vocabulary.json, the capability terms
• updates.json, the signed release feed

Ten agent facing capability classes carry the projection. Claims attach to capabilities, not to marketing categories.

These hold for the service and the graph, and they are published as machine readable assertions in index.json:

• Read only. The service creates no claims and affirms no claims.
• Only source derived claims directly attributable to Wulf A. Kaal are returned.
• A Colloquium validation pool may settle a procedural claim about what a review concluded. That claim is authored by the Colloquium validation process, not by Wulf A. Kaal.
• Any substantive derivative stays unpublished and unattributed until exact hash bound affirmation. The queue is currently empty by design.

Procedural claim contract: procedural-claim-v1.schema.json. Current state: procedural-claims.json and derived-candidates.json.

The graph is content addressed. Recompute the digest and compare it against the manifest:

curl -s https://wulfkaal.github.io/agentic-claim-graph/v1/graph.jsonld | shasum -a 256

Expect 7914a0e4ce2df76d0d4314255720cbeaeb483bdabc7a28d3618f7bfbd140ac0b, which is the value recorded in manifest.json. Any claim returned by the service can be checked the same way, passage against source, using verify.py.

• This graph carries the 1,320 capability-eligible claims under selection method v1 (ten claims per work), not the full 5,288 claim corpus. Absence from a response is not evidence of absence from the corpus.
• Exact passages are preserved from the canonical claim records. Per claim PDF matching was not recomputed by this pilot.
• Quotes carry exact text without page locators.
• The service is a retrieval surface. It reports what was argued and under what conditions. It does not adjudicate whether the argument is correct.

• machine layer, the root index
• llms.txt, the machine index
• claim layer, all 5,288 claims
• failure mode index and AFMR
• affirmed positions
