Querying & Tracing

Agents request context by address (URI) or by selector query. The resolver returns only published content, with full tracing of what was accessed.

Query flow

1. Agent sends a selector or URI
2. Resolver evaluates the query against the vault
3. If results include source nodes, they are returned in topological order
4. A trace entry is recorded for each resolved document

Source hydration

The resolver returns source documents (frontmatter + body). The agent decides whether and how to hydrate them by executing the described tool calls.

The resolver does not execute tool calls — it returns documents; the agent acts on them.
