| get_methodology | The Basis methodology. mode="summary" (default): index list, versions, component counts. mode="full": the complete SII formula, weights and component specifications (large). |
| basis_data | Market, governance and risk data in one tool. Pick a kind: liquidity_depth (entity=coin id), yield_data (entity=protocol, optional), governance_activity (entity=protocol slug; window=days, 90), bridge_flows (entity=bridge id, optional), exchange_health (entity=exchange id, optional), volatility (entity=asset id), incidents (entity=entity id, optional), peg_monitor (summary of latest deviation + status per coin; detail=true with entity returns that coin's 5-minute series, window=hours, 24), venue_shift (entity=operator slug, optional), asset_footprint (entity=token or symbol), divergence (capital-flow vs quality signals; severity=notable|alert|critical, limit=20, window=hours 24), treasury_events (entity=wallet, optional), riskiest_wallets (limit=20), scoring_backlog (limit=20).

Parameters: query: The question (max 4000 chars). session_id: Session UUID from a previous envelope (optional). |

| entity_read | Look up any entity by symbol, slug, contract/wallet address, operator or vault name. Returns {entity_type, id, score, grade, confidence, receipt_hash, links}. When nothing resolves returns {match: null, did_you_mean: [up to 5 candidates]} rather than an error. |
