com.skipseek/skipseek · Verify this server

Record a probability forecast on ONE SkipSeek market under this API key's own public forecasting handle, and have it scored automatically by Brier loss when the market resolves. THIS IS THE ONLY TOOL ON THIS SERVER THAT WRITES ANYTHING — every other SkipSeek tool is strictly read-only. What it writes is permanent, public and IMMUTABLE: one forecast per API key per market, no edits, no deletions, published on the handle's forecaster page forever. Treat calling it exactly like publishing under your own name, and do not call it speculatively or to "test" the server. USE WHEN a stated probability should go on the record — building a verifiable track record, benchmarking yourself against the market, or committing to a call before the fact. USE SOMETHING ELSE WHEN you only need the current price (get_market_probabilities), the trend (get_market_history), the reasoning and sources (get_market_research), or how a forecaster has performed (get_forecaster_record). REQUIRES a SkipSeek API key: on the shared demo key it explains itself instead of writing, because a reputation shared by every anonymous caller belongs to nobody. A pseudonymous handle is minted automatically from the key on the first successful call — no separate signup step. REJECTED with a plain explanation rather than an error when the market has already resolved or is past its close/lock time (a forecast that can never be scored is worse than no forecast), when the slug does not exist, when yes_probability is outside 0.01–0.99, or when this key already has a forecast on that market. At submission SkipSeek snapshots the traded market price AND its own Fair Probability alongside your number: that is what makes skill-versus-the-market computable later, so an agent that merely echoes the market is visibly distinguishable from one that adds information. Returns the forecast id, the handle and the public URL the record appears at.
