list_contradictions()
KeyEvery open contradiction in memory that needs human adjudication. Agents surface conflicts; they never silently resolve them.
list_contradictions(status)→ CONFLICTS[]Callable over MCP as list_contradictions(status). REST mirror GET /v1/contradictions Planned — alpha is MCP-only
A standing agenda item for the human. The agent surfaces every unresolved conflict in memory; the human adjudicates. Workspaces that clear this list regularly make measurably cleaner decisions — the conflicts you ignore are the variance you eat later.
Over MCP, your agent invokes it on its own when the moment calls for it — just describe the situation. A Python SDK for headless runtimes is planned; this is what the call will look like.
