It asks a model what each community's in-force facts say about the question, then asks once more for one answer from those findings. Every cited ID is checked to be a row of this graph, a failed model call fails the answer, and the calls are billed to the calling organization. Time: as\_of and as\_known place the graph that is read; either absent is now. ## Request 3 fields, body `application/json` (required). | Field | In | Type | Required | Description | | ---------- | ---- | ------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `as_known` | body | string | — | AsKnown is how much this plane had heard, RFC 3339: the answer as it would have been given then, which is what makes a past answer reproducible. | | `as_of` | body | string | — | AsOf answers from the graph as it stood at an instant of the world, RFC 3339: what held then. | | `question` | body | string | yes | Question is what to answer, in words, 1000 bytes at most. | ## Response | Status | Body | Meaning | | --------- | -------------------- | ------- | | `200` | graph.graphAnswerOut | ok | | `default` | problem-details | refused | `200` body — 15 fields. | Field | In | Type | Always | Description | | ------------------------ | ---- | --------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `answer` | body | string | — | Answer is the answer, in prose. | | `as_known` | body | string | — | AsKnown is the knowledge instant it was taken at, RFC 3339, the same way. | | `as_of` | body | string | — | AsOf is the instant the graph was read at, RFC 3339: the one asked for, or the server's clock when none was. | | `asked` | body | integer (int64) | — | Asked is how many communities were read. | | `assertions` | body | string\[] | — | Assertions are the IDs of every assertion the answer rests on, ascending. | | `calls` | body | integer (int64) | — | Calls is how many model calls the answer made, each billed to the calling organization. | | `clipped` | body | boolean | — | Clipped says the answer did not read all it gathered: a community held more facts than one call carries, or more members than one answer reads, and kept the ones the question named and then the most connected; a member held more than 64 assertions and kept its newest; or the findings held more than the answering call carries and kept the highest scored. | | `communities` | body | integer (int64)\[] | — | Communities are every community the answer rests on, ascending. | | `findings` | body | graph.graphFinding\[] | — | Findings are the findings the answer cites, most relevant first. | | `findings[].assertions` | body | string\[] | — | Assertions are the IDs of the assertions it cites, each a row a read of this graph returns. | | `findings[].communities` | body | integer (int64)\[] | — | Communities are the communities of the facts it cites, at level 0 of the partition at AsOf — the ids POST /v1/graph/communities answers with. | | `findings[].score` | body | integer (int64) | — | Score is how much the model judged it helps, 1 to 100. | | `findings[].text` | body | string | — | Text is what the model found, in its words. | | `grounded` | body | boolean | — | Grounded is false when no community held a fact bearing on the question, or the findings did not answer it. | | `skipped` | body | integer (int64) | — | Skipped is how many were not, because one answer makes at most eight map calls and reads at most 2048 entities. | Failure carries the platform error shape — see [Errors](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/errors). ## Examples **CLI** ```bash hanzo graph answer ``` **SDK** **.ts** ```ts import { Configuration, GraphApi } from 'hanzoai';
