Embedding mode answers for rerank=0, when judged ranking is unavailable, or past a judged-search budget (see note): the rows whose name and description are nearest the intent by text embedding, nudged by adoption, with no judgment of whether each one covers the intent. Keyword mode is the last resort, when embedding is unavailable too: a substring match of the whole intent against name and description, only useful for short literal phrases.","note":"Embedding and keyword modes only, when judged ranking was wanted but not used: why. For example, this key's judged searches for today are used up, or judged ranking is at capacity for the minute.","routing":"Semantic mode only. scope \"category\" means the search was narrowed to routing.category; scope \"catalog\" means routing chose no category (\"other\"), was not confident enough (confidence below 0.75), or the category had nothing of the requested type, so every row was judged. Also: confidence, candidates_considered, rounds, judgment_requests, refined_cluster (how many leaders were re-ranked; 0 when there was no re-rank).","results":"Already in recommendation order. Do not re-sort by fit. Rows whose identity does not hold up (counterfeits, dead repositories) are never returned. A row whose ownership could not be settled is returned with service.metadata.identity.flag: \"unverified\" (nothing establishes whose it is) or \"contested\" (a judgment doubted it, without the evidence to hold it back); when a canonical project is also in the results, prefer it.","results[].service":"The catalog row: id, name, description, url, type, metadata.","results[].also_listed":"Semantic mode only. Up to 3 other listings of the same product (for example more Supabase servers) that were left out of the results so one product does not fill them, each { id, name, url }; [] when none were. They are on the first kept listing of the product. Look them up with GET /api/services/:id if this one does not fit.","results[].highlights":"owner, repo, stars, weekly_downloads, fork, archived, install. Several servers share a name, so use owner and repo to tell a canonical project from a copy.","results[].score.fit":"Semantic mode. 0-1: how well the service's description covers the intent, judged against the other candidates in the same comparison. Relative, not a grade: a whole result set between 0.2 and 0.5 means the catalog probably has nothing good for this intent.","results[].score.best_fit_share":"Semantic mode, leaders only. When the top fit is at least 0.75, results within 0.12 of it are the leaders, at most 20; when more are that close, the 20 with the highest fit + 0.1 x quality are taken, so adoption decides between near-equal fits. If there are at least two, and they are not every candidate that was ranked, they are re-judged against each other with one forced choice; this is each one's share, summing to about 1 across them (0.7 is a clear winner, 0.2/0.18/0.16 a toss-up). Absent on other results, and on every result when no re-rank happened (routing.refined_cluster is 0). Not comparable to fit.","results[].score.quality":"Semantic and embedding modes. 0-1 adoption prior from GitHub stars or npm weekly downloads, log-scaled; 0.3 when there is no data; halved for archived repositories. In semantic mode, ordering adds 0.2 x quality to fit (to best_fit_share among the leaders), so it moves a result by at most 0.2 and never overrides a larger lead in fit.","results[].score.similarity":"Embedding mode. Cosine similarity between the intent and the row's name and description, from a text-embedding model (@cf/baai/bge-m3); the nearest row for an intent usually scores 0.6 to 0.8. Results are ordered by similarity + 0.15 x quality. It measures closeness of wording, not whether the service can do the job, so read the descriptions before choosing.","results[].score.success_rate":"Share of all reported uses that succeeded. 0 together with signal_count 0 means no reports, not failure. Not yet used in ordering.","results[].score.signal_count":"How many outcomes agents have reported for this service, all time.","results[].score.rating_average":"Mean of the 1 to 5 ratings agents sent with their reports of this service, to two decimal places; 5 is best, and the scale is the one described where reports are sent (the rating field). null when no report carries a rating.

Today one name: key_required, a listing that needs an API key, token or account of the user's before it does anything useful. 1 is the listing's statement and 0 its denial; a claim that is missing is unknown, not a no.
