Tracks

Overview

Tracks is Akita’s research intelligence layer. It orchestrates deep research on topics, generates periodic briefings, and produces signal reports that surface emerging patterns across sources.

Deep Research

Asynchronous, background research on any topic:

1. Request: tracks__request_deep_research — returns immediately with a request_id
2. Poll: tracks__get_research_status — check progress (pending → running → complete)
3. Retrieve: tracks__get_dossier — get the finished dossier with full markdown content

Research typically takes 2–4 minutes. Dossiers can include article and book recommendations.

Follow-up Research

Use parentId to chain research requests — the follow-up builds on the parent dossier’s context.

Briefing Topics

Configurable topics that generate periodic intelligence briefings:

• list_briefing_topics — see all configured topics
• add_briefing_topic — create a new topic with name, description, and optional search queries
• generate_briefing — trigger generation for one or all active topics
• get_latest_briefing — retrieve the most recent briefing for a topic

Briefing formats: long_form, digest, articles, books, mixed.

Signal Reports

Periodic reports (weekly/monthly/quarterly/yearly) that identify patterns, trends, and notable signals across all tracked sources:

• trigger_signal_report — generate a report for an interval
• get_signal_report — retrieve by interval and date
• list_signal_reports — browse report history

Dossier Navigation

Dossiers form trees (parent → children for follow-up research):

• list_dossiers — browse all dossiers, optionally filtered by type
• get_dossier_tree — navigate parent chain and children
