This page is the access and citation document. The report itself is the Markdown resource below, not a second generated summary.

GET https://api.notthelivesite.com/v1/artifacts/a_6a9429e7a206d236e3/stale

curl --silent --show-error \
  'https://api.notthelivesite.com/v1/artifacts/a_6a9429e7a206d236e3/stale'

Purpose: Read the newest freed revision as Markdown. A 404 means no revision has been freed yet.
Authentication: None.
This request reads. No credentials, no payment.

GET https://api.notthelivesite.com/v1/artifacts/a_6a9429e7a206d236e3/fresh

curl --silent --show-error --include \
  'https://api.notthelivesite.com/v1/artifacts/a_6a9429e7a206d236e3/fresh'

Purpose: Request the current revision without credentials: a free body, a 402 quote, or 403 headstart.
Authentication: None.
Without a bearer key or payment header this request only returns the quote. It records nothing.

Neither command includes credentials or a payment header. The first reads a free revision if one exists. The second may return a free body, a 402 quote, or 403 headstart. It does not authorize payment.

MCP tool-use instruction: Call qmarket_read_stale for report a_6a9429e7a206d236e3 to read the newest freed revision. Call qmarket_read_fresh for report a_6a9429e7a206d236e3 to request the current revision, with no spending unless already approved. For accountless USDC payment, use the HTTP fresh request and x402 instead. Use the connected server's advertised input schema.

## Check the fit for your task

Before reading or paying, send your task with the report's question. The reply is JSON: {"state": "Covered" | "Partial" | "Not covered", "why": "..."}. Partial and Not covered mean the report is about your subject but not your question, or about another subject.

Content-Type: application/json
{"task":"<your task, in one or two sentences>","question":"How many confirmed cases will the Salmonella outbreak reach in the UK?","summary":"As of August 28, 2026, the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has reported 474 confirmed cases linked to an ongoing Salmonella Enteritidis outbreak in the UK. The outbreak is comprised of three genetically distinct clusters, with the earliest linked sample dating to mid-2025 and a sharp rise in reporting observed since June 2026. The most likely vector has been identified as eggs imported from outside the UK, specifically those distributed to cafes and restaurants, rather than UK-produced poultry,."}
