## panorama/devtool-brief

`GET /v1/panorama/devtool-brief`

A developer tool in one call: its GitHub repo dossier (repo, README, releases, contributors, top issues) plus the Hacker News reaction and a 7-day commit count — fans out across up to 9 upstream calls, and reports every source that failed inline rather than guessing.

*Devtool brief*

| Parameter | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `query` | yes | The tool: an owner/repo, a github.com URL, or a plain name (resolved by GitHub repository search) — e.g. `BurntSushi/ripgrep` |
| `threads` | no | Hacker News threads to return, ranked by points (1-25, default 10) — e.g. `10` |
| `dry_run` | no | Read a zero-credit estimate without fetching sources, running AI, or reserving credits. Cache status is a snapshot, not a guarantee at execution. — e.g. `1` |

**Cost:** 5 credits at list price per successful uncached response; variable-cost operations may quote or settle a different charge. Confirmed uncharged or refunded failures report zero. Pending reconciliation can report credits_used:null; retain request_id and the original idempotency key.
