Checked 2026-09-28

Returns one entity's profile in one call (entity): the entity, its current facts in both directions, the entities they name and the recent episodes about it, trimmed to what the caller may see. A read with a request body.

Not available yet. Sylphx Knowledge is declared in the registry but no backend serves it: every call answers 501 with the problem code UNIMPLEMENTED.

Field	Type	What it is
`name`	`string`	The entity. Required.
`valid_time`	`timestamp`	The profile as it was valid at this time; default now.
`max_episodes`	`int32`	At most this many recent episodes; default 20, clamped to 100.

#Response

Field	Type	What it is

`facts`	`Relation[]`	Its current facts, as subject or object.
`related_entities`	`Entity[]`	The other entities those facts name.
`recent_episodes`	`Citation[]`	The most recent episodes about the entity.

#Entity

Field	Type	What it is
`name`	`string`	`orgs/{org}/projects/{project}/envs/{env}/entities/{entity}`.
`uid`	`string`	`ken_<26 base32>`; never reused. Output only.
`meta`	`ResourceMeta`	Resource metadata.
`entity_type`	`string`	The type: a core type (`person`, `organisation`, `customer`, `contact`, `product`, `project`, `document`, `decision`, `playbook`, `case`, `topic`) or a type of an accepted Knowledge Schema, `<schema>.<type>`. Required.
`title`	`string`	The name people use for it. Required.
`aliases`	`string[]`	Other names it is known by; at most 50.
`properties`	`struct`	Properties, valid against the type's JSON Schema.
`external_ids`	`ExternalId[]`	Identifiers in other systems. Two writes with the same external id in one graph are the same entity (deterministic resolution). At most 50.
`space`	`string`	The space the entity was first stated in. Required.
`provenance`	`Provenance`	Where it came from and who wrote it. Output only.
`lifecycle`	`EntityLifecycle`	Whether the entity stands on its own or was merged into another. Output only. One of `active`, `merged`.
`survivor`	`string`	The entity this one was merged into, while `lifecycle` is `ENTITY_LIFECYCLE_MERGED`. Output only.
`merged_entities`	`string[]`	The entities merged into this one; each can be split back out. Output only.
`create_time`	`timestamp`	When the entity was first recorded. Output only.
`update_time`	`timestamp`	When the entity last changed. Output only.

#Relation

Field	Type	What it is
`name`	`string`	`orgs/{org}/projects/{project}/envs/{env}/spaces/{space}/relations/{relation}`.

`meta`	`ResourceMeta`	Resource metadata.
`subject`	`string`	The entity the fact is about. Required.
`predicate`	`string`	The relation type, snake_case, for example `works_at` or `prefers`; a core predicate or one of an accepted Knowledge Schema. Required.
`object`	`string`	The other entity, for an edge. A fact has `object`, `value`, or both.
`value`	`value`	The value, for a fact about one entity.
`statement`	`string`	The fact as one sentence, used for search and shown with citations.
`valid_start_time`	`timestamp`	When the fact starts to hold in the world; default when it was recorded.
`valid_end_time`	`timestamp`	When the fact stopped holding in the world; unset while it holds.
`episodes`	`string[]`	The episodes the fact comes from. A structured write with none records its own episode and cites it; an extracted fact cites the episodes it was read from.
`provenance`	`Provenance`	Where it came from and who wrote it. Output only.
`successor`	`string`	The fact that replaced this one, once it is superseded. Output only.
`create_time`	`timestamp`	When the fact was recorded. Output only.
