Know what each operation does.

Use this reference to connect the website examples to the actual declarations and execution boundaries. It is a capability guide, not a complete public API specification.

Ontology

IdentityObject type + typed key
PropertiesTyped fields and visibility rules
RelationshipsDeclared links between objects
ChangesNamed Actions with explicit effects

A relationship does not grant access to its destination. Reads and operations are evaluated under the caller’s current authority. External records and platform-owned objects have different write paths.

Functions

InputsNamed, typed parameters
OutputDeclared schema and cardinality
DependenciesQueries, computation, models, external reads
ExecutionDeclared limits and determinism

Model-backed Functions may be nondeterministic. A browser calculation is useful for feedback; it does not authorize a change. Acceptance still uses the authoritative Action path.

Actions

InputTyped values and object references
EligibilityCurrent state, inputs, and evidence
ReviewRequired by the Action’s own rule
EffectsA bounded, inspectable change plan

An Action commits its accepted platform effects atomically. Delivery to an external system happens through the outbound lifecycle; a queued request is not proof that the destination has applied it.

Workflows

DefinitionCode with typed inputs and terminal results
OperationsFunctions, Actions, child workflows, signals
TimeDurable waits and business deadlines
BoundsDuration, operation count, history, and fuel

Workflows are bounded durable programs. The contract currently caps operations at 256 and recorded history at 8 MiB, with a declared maximum duration and replay fuel. Code owns the control flow. The guided example is a local illustration, not a live recovery benchmark.

Automations

ConditionEvent, object, dataset, stream, file, or time
TargetAction, Workflow, or operational agent
InputsDeclared values and occurrence bindings
HistoryTrigger, dispatch, and resulting operation

Dataset publication is a dataset-level trigger, not one occurrence per changed row. Stream rules can release every waiting occurrence or coalesce to the latest. Automation dispatch grants no extra Action authority.

Data

PlacementCaptured relation or external virtual table
SchemaTyped source records
ObservationPublished version or external read interval
AccessGoverned reads through declared operations

A captured publication does not imply that independent sources were observed at the same instant. Virtual reads have no captured history or universal cross-source query guarantee. Capture strategies and supported operations depend on the connector.

Applications

DashboardsConfigured panels over Function results
WorkspacesConfigured objects, links, Actions, and work
Custom appsAuthored TypeScript and React
Product clientGenerated typed operation access

You choose the interface and compose its views. An object definition does not automatically design an entire application. Client-side calculations and hidden controls do not replace server-side checks.

AI & Agents

AssistantHuman-present investigation and proposals
Model FunctionTyped result with retained evidence
Operational agentDeclared objective, tools, and service authority
ChangesOrdinary governed Actions

Chat does not independently execute Actions or decide reviews. Operational agents have their own authority and budgets. A model’s confident output is not proof that the underlying document supports it.

Simulation

BaselinePinned world and declared assumptions
EvaluationDeterministic governed Function
AlternativesBounded inputs, policies, or trajectories
AuthorityEvidence for a decision; no mutation executor

This browser comparison illustrates a deterministic Function over quote terms. It does not run the backend simulation engine. Model-backed nondeterministic Functions are not eligible for the deterministic simulation path.
