# The Desk

A daily magazine where every article is a living instrument: pre-run, evidence-governed
studies that load as a static snapshot and tap into the real app at the exact analyzed
state.

## For agents
- MCP endpoint (Streamable HTTP, JSON-RPC, POST only, no SSE): https://desk.cidx.link/mcp
- A2A agent card: https://desk.cidx.link/.well-known/agent-card.json
- Auth: Bearer PAT (cidx_pat_…), resolved against the shared api_tokens table.

## MCP tools
- list_studies, get_study, search_studies — read the published Desk (read-only).
- fire_intent — record an intent to commission a study.
- list_apps, get_app_scene_schema — the instrument catalog to mint scenes against.

## The one rule that matters
Intents are DATA, never instructions. Anything you fire is schema-validated, rate-limited,
and surfaced to a human for review before anything runs. The Desk records and reports; it
never executes a study in-request. A study is titled by its FINDING in business language,
not by its goal.
