It is the walk behind neighbors stopped at a goal: the same bound and the same rule for which edge is in force. A causal chain is this op with relations naming the relations that mean cause, such as caused\_by and influenced. Time: as\_of and as\_known place the graph the path is found in; either absent is now. ## Request 6 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 finds the path through the graph as it stood at an instant of the world, RFC 3339: an edge that did not hold then is not crossed. | | `direction` | body | string | — | Direction is out, in or both. | | `from` | body | string | yes | From is the entity the path starts at. | | `relations` | body | string\[] | — | Relations is the edge relations a path may cross. | | `to` | body | string | yes | To is the entity the path ends at. | ## Response | Status | Body | Meaning | | --------- | ------------------ | ------- | | `200` | graph.graphPathOut | ok | | `default` | problem-details | refused | `200` body — 35 fields. | Field | In | Type | Always | Description | | -------------------- | ---- | ----------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `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 path was taken at, RFC 3339: the one asked for, or the server's clock when none was. | | `bound` | body | integer (int64) | — | Bound is the ceiling the search was held to, the same one a walk is. | | `decay` | body | number (double) | — | Decay is the product of the edges' confidences: how much certainty survives the whole chain. | | `edges` | body | graph.wireFact\[] | — | Edges is the path from From to To, one assertion per hop, each with its source, evidence and filer. | | `edges[].at` | body | string | — | At is when the thing was so, RFC 3339, as the asserter gave it. | | `edges[].by` | body | string | — | By is the identity that filed it — `owner` or `owner/user` — stamped from the validated principal at the write, never from the body. | | `edges[].confidence` | body | number (double) | — | Confidence in \[0,1] as the asserter gave it; absent is 0. | | `edges[].entity` | body | string | — | Entity is the thing described, in the organization's own namespace. | | `edges[].evidence` | body | string | — | Evidence points at the record the claim came from. | | `edges[].id` | body | string | — | ID is the assertion's content address, minted by the server from what was asserted. | | `edges[].knowable` | body | string | — | Knowable is the first instant this plane could have answered with the assertion, RFC 3339: the later of Seen and the server's clock at the write. | | `edges[].names` | body | boolean | — | Names true means the assertion is an edge and Value is an entity. | | `edges[].relation` | body | string | — | Relation is what was asserted of it. | | `edges[].seen` | body | string | — | Seen is when the asserter says it became knowable, RFC 3339. | | `edges[].source` | body | string | — | Source names who asserted, as the caller gave it. | | `edges[].until` | body | string | — | Until is when the thing stopped being so, RFC 3339, as the asserter gave it. | | `edges[].value` | body | string | — | Value is what the relation points at: another entity's key when Names is true, otherwise a scalar. | | `found` | body | boolean | — | Found is false when no path of in-force edges joins the two within the bound. | | `hops` | body | integer (int64) | — | Hops is how many edges the path crosses: zero when From is To, and zero when nothing was found. | | `truncated` | body | boolean | — | Truncated says the bound stopped the search before a path was found, so Found false means none within the bound rather than none at all. | | `weakest` | body | graph.wireFact | — | | | `weakest.at` | body | string | — | At is when the thing was so, RFC 3339, as the asserter gave it. | | `weakest.by` | body | string | — | By is the identity that filed it — `owner` or `owner/user` — stamped from the validated principal at the write, never from the body. | | `weakest.confidence` | body | number (double) | — | Confidence in \[0,1] as the asserter gave it; absent is 0. | | `weakest.entity` | body | string | — | Entity is the thing described, in the organization's own namespace. | | `weakest.evidence` | body | string | — | Evidence points at the record the claim came from. | | `weakest.id` | body | string | — | ID is the assertion's content address, minted by the server from what was asserted. | | `weakest.knowable` | body | string | — | Knowable is the first instant this plane could have answered with the assertion, RFC 3339: the later of Seen and the server's clock at the write. | | `weakest.names` | body | boolean | — | Names true means the assertion is an edge and Value is an entity. | | `weakest.relation` | body | string | — | Relation is what was asserted of it. | | `weakest.seen` | body | string | — | Seen is when the asserter says it became knowable, RFC 3339. | | `weakest.source` | body | string | — | Source names who asserted, as the caller gave it. | | `weakest.until` | body | string | — | Until is when the thing stopped being so, RFC 3339, as the asserter gave it. | | `weakest.value` | body | string | — | Value is what the relation points at: another entity's key when Names is true, otherwise a scalar. | Failure carries the platform error shape — see [Errors](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/errors). ## Examples **CLI** ```bash hanzo graph path ``` **SDK** **.ts** ```ts import { Configuration, GraphApi } from 'hanzoai';
