KnownGate tools (4)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postscheck_itemFreeRule one food subject against the household premise (restrictions, thresholds, or both). Needs a key (Authorization: Bearer kg_live_…); create a free one with the register tool. Returns one of four verdicts (no_conflict_found, conflict_found, ask_one_question, couldnt_verify) with typed hits, source kind and read date. Unknown counts as no; the word safe is never used.
check_planFreeRule a set of items at once: a recipe's ingredients, a basket, several days. Needs a key (Authorization: Bearer kg_live_…); create a free one with the register tool. Up to 25 subjects, one call, one verdict per item plus a summary line. Each item carries its own evidence, source and read date.
check_venueFreeRule a whole venue's published chart against the household restrictions in one call. Needs a key (Authorization: Bearer kg_live_…); create a free one with the register tool. Returns per-verdict counts, the most severe items, the operator's cross-contact caveat verbatim, and the chart's source and read date. A venue with no machine-readable chart says so honestly.
registerFreeSign yourself up for a developer key without leaving MCP. The email is contact and recovery, not a wall. One key per email, free tier (100 checks a month); the key is in this response and never shown again. Nothing on knowngate.com itself needs a key.

KnownGate
KnownGate is the food verification layer for people and AI agents: it checks food against what must not be in it, or a number it must stay under, and returns evidence-backed verdicts with their sources and read dates.
MCP endpoint
https://mcp.knowngate.comStreamable HTTP and SSE. The versioned path https://www.knowngate.com/api/knowngate/v0/mcp serves the same server and stays documented, but the subdomain is the address to configure: it does not bake a version number into anything you publish.
you can build against,
- Server card:
- Evidence standard: and, as a document
- For agents:
Authentication. A Bearer key, and a free one is created in-band with the register tool. There is no signup to call this.
Tools
Verdicts
Every check returns exactly one of four, with the source it rested on and the date that source was read:
noconflictfound · conflictfound · askonequestion · couldntverify
Unknown counts as no. A claim can create a conflict but never a clear. The word "safe" is not used anywhere in this system. What each verdict means, and the highest verdict each kind of source can reach, is published in full at /standard.
Verdicts are not cryptographically signed in v1.0, and the profile says so (signed_verdicts: false). A saved record at /ck/{id} is the durable artifact: it carries the subject, the premise, the verdict, its source and read date, and the standard version it was issued under.
