NOMOS

Query a published authority on the NOMOS Exchange marketplace — a different system from verify_decision's own sealed policies. Every public authority (e.g. eu-ai-act.nomos) is queryable with no key. Returns the authority's own verdict (AUTHORIZED/DENIED/ESCALATED), the exact rule and reason, and a permanent, cryptographically-bound transcript (query_id + url) — replayable evidence, not just a reply. Nothing is invented or paraphrased: the verdict is the authority's sealed rules evaluated against your inputs. The default response is a short, curated summary (verdict, matched rule, source citation when the artifact has one, transparency/completeness disclosures, transcript link) — not the full rule-by-rule evaluation trace. Set include_evaluation_trace: true to get that complete diagnostic record when you or the user actually need it.

Analyze policy documents (and optional behavioral decision logs) to detect contradictions, hidden rules, and gaps between declared policy and observed behavior. Stateless — no artifact is created and nothing is persisted. Returns contradiction types: threshold_conflicts (numeric rule overlaps), ghost_terms (undefined terms used in rules), role_conflicts (same action allowed by one role, denied by another), rule_collisions (direct logical conflicts), and layer_divergences (policy says X but behavioral data shows Y).

Find which published authorities on the NOMOS Exchange govern something you are about to do, from a plain description (e.g. "deploy a recruitment model in the EU"). No name needed. Returns the matching authorities ranked, and for each the facts it reads that match your description (what to pass to ask_authority as inputs) and its most relevant rules with where they come from in the source. Also returns authorities others have requested that are not listed yet. Matches by words and by meaning (a small multilingual model on the server, so questions in Arabic and other languages work); it only chooses what to ask, never a verdict. Call this before ask_authority when you do not know the authority's name.

Convert one or more policy documents into a sealed NOMOS governance artifact (.nomos). Extracts executable rules using Claude, detects contradictions between rules, computes an Autonomy Readiness Index (ARI) score (0–1), and cryptographically seals the result. Returns an artifact_id you can use with verify_decision immediately. Optionally accepts historical behavioral decision logs to add a behavioral evidence layer and reach CERTIFIED confidence tier.

Ask for an authority (a law, regulation, standard or policy) to be added to the NOMOS Exchange when find_authority finds nothing. Requests are public and ranked by how many asked; they decide what is compiled next. Repeated requests from one caller count once. This never creates an authority: only its issuer, or NOMOS compiling the public text, can.

Check whether an AI decision is allowed, denied, or needs escalation according to a sealed NOMOS governance artifact. Always returns `allowed` (boolean) — that field is safe to read regardless of which artifact type answered. The rest of the shape genuinely differs by artifact type, because it proxies two different underlying endpoints: pub_ demo artifacts return a flat shape (`outcome`: auto_approved/auto_rejected/escalated, `rule_applied`, `rule_reference`, flat `confidence` and `audit_hash`); your own sealed artifacts from Studio return a nested shape (`verdict`: approved/rejected/escalated, a nested `rule` object, and nested `confidence`/`audit`/`performance` objects). See outputSchema for both exact shapes — do not assume one without checking which kind of artifact_id was passed. Use artifact IDs starting with pub_ for public demo artifacts that require no API key: pub_lending_v1 (loan approval), pub_refund_v1 (refund policy), pub_fraud_v1 (fraud detection), pub_hr_leave_v1 (HR leave approval), pub_kyc_v1 (KYC/identity).
