resolveread-onlyResolve any AT Protocol identifier to JSON. Accepts an at:// URI (at://<did-or-handle>/<collection>/<rkey>), a bare handle (alice.bsky.social), or a DID (did:plc:...). Returns a profile, a collection page, or a single record depending on how specific the input is. PDS-agnostic: works for any AT Protocol PDS, not just Bluesky.
Parameters:
uri(required) — string — An at:// URI, a bare handle, or a DID.limit— integer — Page size (1-100, default 50). A cursor in the response means more pages exist.cursor— string — Pagination cursor (collections only).include— array — Optional enrichments: 'schema' resolves the collection's lexicon; 'backlinks' lists who referenced the target; 'profile' adds the repo owner's display name, bio, and avatar URL.
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
get_profileread-onlyGet an account's repository overview (handle, DID, PDS, and the list of collections it contains). Input is a handle or DID.
Parameters:
actor(required) — string — A handle (alice.bsky.social) or DID (did:plc:...).include— array — Optional enrichments: 'schema' resolves the collection's lexicon; 'backlinks' lists who referenced the target; 'profile' adds the repo owner's display name, bio, and avatar URL.
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
get_recordread-onlyFetch a single record by its full at:// URI (must include collection and rkey). Returns the record's value, CID, and resolved identity.
Parameters:
uri(required) — string — Full at:// URI: at://<did-or-handle>/<collection>/<rkey>.include— array — Optional enrichments: 'schema' resolves the collection's lexicon; 'backlinks' lists who referenced the target; 'profile' adds the repo owner's display name, bio, and avatar URL.
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
list_recordsread-onlyList records in a collection for an account, with pagination. Provide the repo (handle or DID) and the collection NSID (e.g. app.bsky.feed.post).
Parameters:
repo(required) — string — A handle or DID.collection(required) — string — Collection NSID, e.g. app.bsky.feed.post.limit— integer — Page size (1-100, default 50). A cursor in the response means more pages exist.cursor— string — Pagination cursor from a previous page.
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
get_backlinksread-onlyIndex of who/what references a target,the inbound likes, reposts, quotes, replies, and follows,as COUNTS per category, via the Constellation backlink index. Target is a record's at:// URI or an account DID. This returns aggregate counts only; each category also includes a `source` string. To list the actual records and their author DIDs for one category (e.g. WHO liked a post), call list_backlink_records with that `source`.
Parameters:
target(required) — string — A record at:// URI or a DID.
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
list_backlink_recordsread-onlyList the actual records (author DID + verified handle + at:// URI, newest first) that reference a target for ONE category,i.e. WHO liked, reposted, quoted, replied to, mentioned, or follows it. Workflow: call get_backlinks first to get a category `source`, then pass it here. To read WHAT a referencing record says (e.g. the text of a mention or reply), call get_record on its at:// URI. Author handles are resolved via identity resolution (verified), not search.
Parameters:
target(required) — string — The referenced record at:// URI or account DID (same target passed to get_backlinks).source(required) — string — A category `source` from get_backlinks, e.g. app.bsky.feed.like:subject.uri.limit— integer — Page size (1-25, default 25). Use the returned cursor for the next page.cursor— string — Pagination cursor returned by a previous call (to get the next page).
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
count_recordsread-onlyCount the total records in an account's collection (e.g. how many likes a user has given). Scans server-side so you don't page manually. AT Protocol has no cheap exact count, so for very large collections this returns exact:false with a lower-bound count and a cursor,call again with that cursor and ADD the counts to keep going.
Parameters:
repo(required) — string — A handle or DID.collection(required) — string — Collection NSID, e.g. app.bsky.feed.like.cursor— string — Resume cursor from a prior capped (exact:false) count. The new count covers records AFTER it,add it to your previous total.
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
search_accountsread-onlySearch for AT Protocol accounts by handle or display name (paginated, via the Bluesky AppView app.bsky.actor.searchActors, so accounts unknown to that index may be missing). Returns candidate accounts with DID + handle, to turn a name into a DID. Results are search CANDIDATES, not verified handle-to-DID mappings: call verify_handle before trusting that a handle really belongs to a DID (resolve/get_profile only confirm an account exists, not that the handle is authentic).
Parameters:
query(required) — string — A handle fragment or display name, e.g. "alice".limit— integer — Page size (1-100, default 50). A cursor in the response means more pages exist.cursor— string — Pagination cursor from a previous call.
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
get_account_historyread-onlyAn account's history from its PLC audit log: handle changes, PDS migrations, signing-key rotations, and creation time. did:plc accounts only (did:web has no PLC log). Input is a handle or DID.
Parameters:
actor(required) — string — A handle or DID (did:plc).
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
search_lexiconsread-onlyBrowse or search the registry of published AT Protocol lexicon schemas. The response's `total` field is the exact registry size and `matched` is the exact match count. Substring matches the NSID or description (query 'profile' → anything containing 'profile'); prefix the query with a DOT for a suffix match (query '.profile' → only NSIDs ENDING in .profile, i.e. profile record types). Filter by schema kind with `type` — 'give me every space lexicon' is type='space' with NO query, since an NSID does not imply its type (space.saebyeok.permissionSet is a permission set; app.kimbia.circle is a space). Types: the spec's primary types are record, query, procedure, subscription, and permission-set; a main def may also be a non-primary type (object, token, string); space comes from proposal 0016 (permissioned data), which is not in the ratified spec; defs-only marks a schema file with no main definition. Every response carries a `typeCounts` breakdown of the returned matches (it sums to `matched`), so one call with no arguments shows which kinds exist and how many; when you filter by type, `otherTypes` reports what the filter excluded, so a too-narrow or misspelled type still shows you the real options. Without a query or type, returns the total plus a sample. Results are paginated by `limit`; to see matches beyond the first page, call again with the `offset` printed at the end of the list. Use resolve_lexicon for a specific schema's full definition.
Parameters:
type— Keep only these schema kinds, e.g. "space" for permissioned space declarations, or ["record","procedure"]. Case-insensitive. Combine with query to search within a kind.limit— integer — Page size (1-100, default 50). A cursor in the response means more pages exist.query— string — Optional substring to filter by, e.g. "profile" or "app.bsky".offset— integer — Skip this many matches (pagination). Use the offset value printed after a truncated list.
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
resolve_lexiconread-onlyExplain what a record type means by resolving its lexicon schema. Input is a collection NSID (e.g. app.bsky.feed.post). Returns the schema's description and definition.
Parameters:
nsid(required) — string — A collection NSID, e.g. app.bsky.feed.post.
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
describe_pdsread-onlyDescribe a Personal Data Server: its DID, whether registration requires an invite, the handle domains you can register there, and ToS/contact links. Works for any PDS, not just Bluesky. Input is the PDS origin (e.g. https://pds.example.com).
Parameters:
pds(required) — string — A PDS origin URL, e.g. https://pds.example.com.
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
list_reposread-onlyList the accounts (repositories) hosted on a PDS, via com.atproto.sync.listRepos: each repo's DID and active/takedown status, paginated. Answers 'who is hosted on this PDS?' / 'how many accounts does this PDS have?'. By default returns DIDs only (one request, large page — best for counting); pass enrich=true to also resolve handles (slower, smaller page). Input is the PDS origin (e.g. https://pds.example.com). Works for any PDS.
Parameters:
pds(required) — string — A PDS origin URL, e.g. https://pds.example.com.limit— integer — Page size (1-1000, default 1000). With enrich=true the effective page is capped near 20 (each DID is resolved to a handle). Use the returned cursor for the next page.cursor— string — Pagination cursor from a previous call.enrich— boolean — Resolve each DID to its handle. Default false — returns DIDs only in ONE request (large page, the fast path for listing/counting). Set true only when you need handles (slower, smaller page).
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
get_repo_statusread-onlyLiveness/moderation status of an account's repository: whether it is active, its current revision, and any takedown/suspended/deactivated/deleted state. Answers 'has @alice been taken down?' which get_profile can't. Input is a handle or DID.
Parameters:
repo(required) — string — A handle or DID.
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
get_latest_commitread-onlyThe current head commit of an account's repository (com.atproto.sync.getLatestCommit): its commit CID and revision. The cheapest way to fingerprint a repo or detect whether it changed since you last looked, without downloading data. Complements get_repo_status (which has the rev but not the commit CID). Input is a handle or DID.
Parameters:
repo(required) — string — A handle or DID.
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
verify_handleread-onlyBidirectionally verify that a handle is really owned by its DID, via DNS TXT and HTTPS well-known. Returns whether each method passed. Use this to check for impersonation/spoofing,search results and resolve give candidates, this gives cryptographic binding.
Parameters:
handle(required) — string — A handle, e.g. alice.bsky.social.
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
get_did_documentread-onlyFetch the raw DID document for any DID or handle: all aliases (alsoKnownAs), every service entry (PDS, labeler, custom AppView), and verification methods. Broader than get_profile, and works for did:web accounts. Input is a handle or DID.
Parameters:
actor(required) — string — A handle or DID.
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
get_app_linkread-onlyTurn an at:// URI (or handle/DID) into shareable web links,a Bluesky/Blacksky app URL to open in a browser, plus the canonical PDS getRecord URL. Use when the user wants a clickable/pasteable link.
Parameters:
uri(required) — string — An at:// URI, handle, or DID.
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
get_pds_directory_inforead-onlyA cached health card for a PDS from pds.directory: version, DID, approximate user count, reachability, last-checked time, available domains, and which relays index it. Input is the PDS hostname (e.g. pds.example.com). Best-effort/cached data.
Parameters:
hostname(required) — string — A PDS hostname, e.g. pds.example.com.
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
get_relay_directory_inforead-onlyA cached overview of a relay from firehose.directory: counts of PDSes it indexes (total/active/offline/banned) and total accounts. Input is the relay hostname (e.g. bsky.network). Best-effort/cached data.
Parameters:
hostname(required) — string — A relay hostname, e.g. bsky.network.
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
query_labelsread-onlyWhat moderation labels a labeler has applied to a subject (com.atproto.label.queryLabels),e.g. 'has @alice or this post been labeled spam/nsfw/hidden by labeler X?'. Anonymous and service-agnostic: the labeler's own service endpoint is found from its DID document (no hardcoded aggregator). Subject is a DID/handle (account labels) or an at:// URI (record labels); labeler is the handle or DID of a labeler service (e.g. moderation.bsky.app).
Parameters:
subject(required) — string — What to check: a DID/handle (account-level labels) or an at:// URI (record-level).labeler(required) — string — The labeler service to ask,a handle or DID, e.g. moderation.bsky.app.limit— integer — Page size (1-100, default 50). A cursor in the response means more pages exist.cursor— string — Pagination cursor from a previous call.
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
list_repos_by_collectionread-onlyNetwork-wide: which accounts publish a given collection/lexicon,e.g. 'who has an app.bsky.feed.generator (a custom feed)?' or who uses a custom lexicon. Via a relay's com.atproto.sync.listReposByCollection (anonymous). By default returns DIDs only (one request, large page); pass enrich=true to also resolve handles (slower, smaller page). For just a total, use count_repos_by_collection. NOTE: relay-served (defaults to the public Bluesky relay; pass `relay` to query another), not the account's own PDS. Pairs with search_lexicons / resolve_lexicon.
Parameters:
collection(required) — string — A collection NSID, e.g. app.bsky.feed.generator.limit— integer — Page size (1-1000, default 1000). With enrich=true the effective page is capped near 20 (each DID is resolved to a handle). Use the returned cursor for the next page.relay— string — Optional relay origin to query instead of the default, e.g. https://relay.example.com.cursor— string — Pagination cursor from a previous call.enrich— boolean — Resolve each DID to its handle. Default false — returns DIDs only in ONE request (large page, the fast path for listing/counting). Set true only when you need handles (slower, smaller page).
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
count_repos_by_collectionread-onlyCount how many accounts across the network publish a given collection/lexicon,e.g. 'how many accounts have an at.glean.subscription?'. Walks a relay's com.atproto.sync.listReposByCollection with NO per-account handle resolution, so it's cheap and returns an exact total for typical collections. For very large collections it returns exact:false with a cursor,call again with that cursor and ADD the counts (like count_records). Relay-served (defaults to the public Bluesky relay; pass `relay` for another).
Parameters:
collection(required) — string — A collection NSID, e.g. app.bsky.feed.generator.relay— string — Optional relay origin to query instead of the default, e.g. https://relay.example.com.cursor— string — Resume cursor from a previous exact:false response.
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
list_blobsread-onlyList the blobs (uploaded media/attachments,images, video, etc.) hosted in an account's repository, via com.atproto.sync.listBlobs. Returns each blob's CID and its canonical PDS getBlob URL (PDS-native, works for any PDS,not a CDN). Answers 'what media does this account host?'. Records reference blobs by CID; use this (or get_blob_info) to turn a CID into a fetchable URL. Input is a handle or DID.
Parameters:
repo(required) — string — A handle or DID.limit— integer — Page size (1-100, default 50). A cursor in the response means more pages exist.cursor— string — Pagination cursor from a previous call.
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
get_blob_inforead-onlyGet metadata for a single blob: its canonical PDS getBlob URL plus a best-effort content-type and byte size (via a HEAD request). Returns the URL, never the bytes. Use to turn a blob ref (CID) found in a record into a downloadable link and learn what it is. Input is the owning repo (handle or DID) and the blob CID.
Parameters:
repo(required) — string — A handle or DID (the blob's owning repo).cid(required) — string — The blob CID (e.g. bafkrei...), as found in a record's blob ref.
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
list_labelersread-onlyList the labeler (moderation) services known to the labeler relay,each labeler's DID, resolved handle, and service endpoint. The discovery step BEFORE query_labels, which needs a labeler DID/handle up front: use this to find moderation.bsky.app and any third-party/regional labelers, then pass one to query_labels.
Parameters:
limit— integer — Page size (1-20, default 20). Use the returned cursor for the next page.cursor— string — Pagination cursor from a previous call.
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
get_threadread-onlyReconstruct the conversation around a post: its ancestor chain up to the thread root (following reply.parent, root-first) PLUS a bounded descendant reply TREE,replies, replies-to-replies, and so on, each tagged with its depth and parent,walked breadth-first and capped for cost. NOTE: descendant expansion assumes the Bluesky reply model (app.bsky.feed.post with reply.parent); ancestor walking follows reply.parent generically, but the reply tree is specific to that lexicon and will be empty for record types that model replies differently. Answers 'show me this whole conversation / what is this replying to?'. If the tree is truncated, use list_backlink_records on a specific post's URI to expand it further. Input is a post's at:// URI.
Parameters:
uri(required) — string — A post's full at:// URI: at://<did-or-handle>/app.bsky.feed.post/<rkey>.
Hints: read-only yes · destructive not declared · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
