Reference — Read-Only Lookups

| Operation | Description | | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | | List Tiers | All 8 trust tiers (T0–T7) with score ranges | | Lookup Tier | Lookup tier by numeric trust score (0–1000) | | Capabilities | All 24 capability codes with tier requirements | | Errors | All error codes with retry guidance | | Rate Limits | Rate limits per trust tier | | Versions | API version registry |

Compliance — Continuous Monitoring (CA-7)

| Operation | Description | | -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | | Health | All control health across all frameworks | | Framework Health | Framework-specific control health | | Snapshot | Point-in-time compliance snapshot | | Dashboard | Aggregated compliance dashboard | | Evidence | Evidence for a specific control ID | | Trigger Monitor | Trigger full compliance check (admin key required) |

Supported frameworks: NIST 800-53, EU AI Act, ISO 42001, SOC 2

Example: Full Governance Pipeline

Chain three Cognigate nodes to implement INTENT → ENFORCE → PROOF:

1. Intent: Create — Parse the agent's goal into a structured plan with risk analysis
2. Enforce: Validate — Pass the plan through BASIS policy evaluation
3. Proof: Create — Record the enforcement verdict as an immutable audit proof

This gives you a complete governance pipeline with cryptographic evidence for every agent action.
