# PlatPhorm Layout
> Canonical public layout design, responsive grid builder, page composition, visual structure inspector, scoring, export, and MCP/API layout tooling for the PlatPhormNews web mesh.

Base URL: https://layout.platphormnews.com
Version: 0.7.0
Public access: enabled for browser-local Layout building, templates, preview, deterministic scoring, config audits, exports, discovery, health, and read-only MCP introspection.
Protected actions: PLATPHORM_API_KEY is required for server mutations, trusted-domain remote inspection, IndexNow submission, reporting, integration triggers, and administrative refresh.

## Layout Capabilities
- Templates: 15 active public templates (article-brief, dashboard-command, card-grid, form-flow, docs-layout, gallery-wall, landing-system, news-feed, faq-knowledge, product-service, status-page, api-docs, mcp-capability, network-directory, report-page)
- Viewports: narrow, mobile, tablet, desktop, wide
- Scoring: deterministic, explainable, modelAssisted=false
- Audits: deterministic config audit is public; trusted-domain DOM inspection is bounded and requires PLATPHORM_API_KEY; BrowserOps screenshots remain unsupported
- Exports: json, html-css, react-tailwind, markdown, design-spec-json, report, spec
- Local persistence: browser-local IndexedDB for non-sensitive drafts; durable server persistence is unsupported and DATABASE_URL alone does not change that state.
- Model scaffolding: unsupported (No server-side model handler is implemented. Layout guidance uses deterministic checks only.)

## API and MCP
- API docs: https://layout.platphormnews.com/api/docs and https://layout.platphormnews.com/openapi.yaml
- MCP metadata: https://layout.platphormnews.com/api/mcp
- MCP JSON-RPC: POST https://layout.platphormnews.com/api/mcp
- MCP tools: 27 real Layout tools
- MCP resources: 12
- MCP prompts: 11

## Route Compliance
- Implemented route inventory: 49/49
- Degraded states: Server-side persistence is not implemented; browser-local drafts are active and protected server records are ephemeral.; Model suggestions are unsupported; deterministic guidance is active.; Protected cross-site execution and publishing integrations are unsupported; no downstream artifact or run is claimed.

## Integrations
- Phorm: unsupported; Phorm handoff is not implemented. Configuration alone does not constitute execution.
- BrowserOps: unsupported; BrowserOps execution is not implemented. No browser run is created by Layout.
- Docs: unsupported; Docs publishing is not implemented. No document artifact is created.
- Decks: unsupported; Deck generation is not implemented. No deck artifact is created.
- Sheets: unsupported; Sheets reporting is not implemented. No sheet artifact is created.
- Insights: unsupported; Insights handoff is not implemented. No downstream score or ranking is claimed.
- Trace: degraded; Trace headers and public links are active. Public-safe server request journeys are exported when PLATPHORM_API_KEY is configured and otherwise report disabled.

## Trust and Trace
Trusted domains default to *.platphormnews.com. Layout operations propagate W3C trace context and safe PlatPhorm headers. Secrets are not included in exports, local drafts, RSS, sitemap, llms files, model prompts, screenshots, or traces.
