}filtered_search
Run a structured filter/rank/count query over the workspace’s metadata catalog. Cost class: job.
Send {type: "query", query, context?, path_prefix?, paths?, allow_clarification?}
to start a search. path_prefix and paths resolve to one file set: only
catalog entries extracted from those files can match. Each paths entry must
name a visible uploaded source file. Then an agent translates the request into a validated catalog
query, and the result is a table — typed columns, matching components as
rows (each named by its uploaded file), an exact total_matches, and
evidence citations per extracted value. Count-style questions return the
total with no rows; “top N” questions return exactly N rows with the
pre-cutoff total. With allow_clarification set, a genuinely ambiguous request
may come back as a rejection instead: the succeeded result carries one
question in clarification (no rows, no applied_query, exhaustive
false) — filtered search keeps no session, so answer it by sending a new
initial query.
Send {type: "page", cursor} with an earlier result’s next_cursor
to fetch the next page. Pages re-execute the original query against the
current catalog under your current access — no agent runs, and
concurrent ingestion or deletion may shift later pages (the result’s
catalog_drifted says the underlying data changed). Only the API key
that ran the original query may page it; an expired or purged parent job
returns invalid_request.
Read exhaustive before treating a result as a census: when false, the
matches shown are valid but completeness is not guaranteed (uncataloged
files in scope, degraded extractions, or a residual content condition).
Read field_readability alongside it: a non-empty entry means the
predicate could not be evaluated on part of the population, so an empty or
thin result may reflect unreadable data rather than absence.
Monetary values always carry their ISO currency and are never converted;
comparing amounts across currencies is unsupported in this version.

Replaying a request with the same key returns the original job with 200, never a second job. The key is kept with the job for replay and never cleared, so it must not contain personal data.
200Path Parameters
Workspace identifier.
Query Parameters
Bounded inline wait. 0 (the default) returns 202 immediately. Above 0 the route returns 200 with a terminal job if the work finished in time, and 202 with the still-running job if it did not. Either way, read status.
0 <= x <= 300Body
- InitialFilteredSearch
- FilteredSearchPage
Start a filtered search: a natural-language filter/rank/count request.
1 - 4096Let the run finish with ONE clarifying question instead of a result, when the request is genuinely ambiguous and the ambiguity materially changes the result. The rejected result carries the question in clarification (no rows, no applied_query, exhaustive false); filtered search keeps no session, so answer it by issuing a new initial query. Off — the default — means the run always executes.
20000Narrow the run to a folder subtree. It intersects with the access filter, never overrides it.
1024Narrow the run to exactly these uploaded files: only catalog entries extracted from them can match, and the agent's searches and reads see only them. Each entry names an uploaded source file (never a folder — scope folders with path_prefix; the two add up, so the catalog covers the folder's files plus these). No limit on how many. Unknown or inaccessible paths are refused up front.
11 - 1024Legacy grouping override. Omit to return catalog entries with their established identities. Supporting sections retain their separate evidence. Explicit legacy values keep their original grouping, counting and pagination semantics.
source, component, entity "query"Response

When the job row was created.
Server-minted id. Poll GET /v1/jobs/{job_id} or pass wait_seconds on create.
Lifecycle: queued, running, succeeded, failed, or cancelled.
queued, running, succeeded, failed, cancelled Final USD component prices under the sheet pinned at acceptance; null before finalization or when no dollar sheet was configured. Does not change legacy credit billing.

Version of the credit schedule credits were priced under. Null until usage_final is true.
Final credits billed for this job, priced once under credit_schedule_version. Null until usage_final is true. Never changes afterwards, including after payload expiry or deletion. For a job that failed or was cancelled, the credits for results already delivered before it ended (a progressive classify or extract publishes before it finishes); 0 when it delivered nothing. Always null on a stage job that Automatic Search delegated: its work is billed on the parent job.
When the caller hid this run from listings, via delete_job. A soft delete: the job still reads by id and still counts toward GET /v1/usage — what it stops doing is appearing in GET /v1/jobs.
How hard this run worked, for the search kinds that carry it. A deep-search job (kind deep_search_v2) created before the effort knob was removed echoes its requested level: 'low', 'medium', or 'high'; newer deep-search jobs, which all run one configuration, read null. An intelligent_search row carries an internal selector instead: 'fast' is fact-search, 'automatic' is automatic-search, and 'deep' (or the legacy 'balanced') is a deep-search or console QA chat job created before the 2026-09 consolidation — those two are not distinguishable by this field. Null for every other kind. Read from the stored request, so it rides the same retention path as query and result: null once result_state leaves available.
Typed failure envelope when status is failed. Null on any other status.

When the job reached a terminal status.
The request's own force flag, echoed regardless of outcome. Present for kinds whose request carries one (e.g. kg_build, where a true value cleared the durable store before the job ran) so a caller can tell that apart from a build that failed leaving the prior store untouched — result alone cannot, since it is absent on failure either way.
Key that was replayed to return this job. Absent when the create call had no Idempotency-Key.
"filtered_search"Display name (the console's 'project'). Public Parse, Split, Classify, Extract, and Ground runs supply a stable server default when blank; citation-generated Ground jobs are excluded. mutable via PATCH /v1/jobs/{job_id}.
When the job's inputs, outputs and processing files are removed. Once the job finishes this is no later than 48 hours after it on a paid account and 7 days after on a free one, or sooner if the workspace's job_ttl_days says so. Null while a job with no job_ttl_days bound is still running, or when the account keeps no job content (zero retention).
Live progress while the job is running. Null while queued and after the job finishes.

Caller-minted grouping id shared by jobs submitted together. Filterable on GET /v1/jobs.
The question this job was asked, for the search kinds that carry one (intelligent_search, qa_file, qa_tables, filtered_search); null for every other kind. Read from the stored request, so it rides the same retention path as result: null once result_state leaves available. Narrow by design — the frozen access context never reaches the wire. File scope is summarised separately as query_scope.
The question ran against the whole workspace.

Why result may be null. available with a null result means the job has not succeeded yet; expired and not_retained mean the payload was dropped by retention; cancelled means the job, or the job it ran for, was cancelled, so no result is served (a cancelled job is charged only for results delivered before the cancel).

When execution began. Null while still queued.
Which console history this deep-search job belongs to. deep_search is the public route and the Deep Search page; qa and workbook are the console chat skins over the same agent. It does not pick the implementation. Null for fact-search and every non-deep-search kind. Jobs stored before this field existed echo deep_search. Read from the stored payload, so it rides the same retention path as query.
deep_search, qa, workbook Billable units once the job finishes; 0 while queued or running. Kept for compatibility: credits is the authoritative billed amount.
What credits were charged for: one line per part (the parse, the tool's own work), with the quantity, rate and multiplier behind each. Null until usage_final is true, and on jobs finalized before usage breakdowns were introduced.

True once credits is final and will not change. False while the job is queued or running, and until any cleanup of its delegated stages has been accounted for. A failed tool job (read_file, run_sql, hybrid_search, grep, file_metadata, folder_metadata) created with an Idempotency-Key stays false for one hour after it fails, because a retry with the same key re-runs it; after that hour it is final and the retry returns the stored error.
When credits became final. Null until usage_final is true.
The workspace this job reads. Null for a document operation whose source is an upload, a URL, or a prior parse result.
