| Path | Observed type | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `count` | `integer` | 1 |
| `coverage` | `object` | 5 fields |
| `coverage.limitations` | `array` | 1 items |
| `coverage.missing_fields` | `array` | 0 items |

| `total_suggestions` | `integer` | 1 |
| `truncated` | `boolean` | false |

## Execution behavior

A `200` response completed inline. A `202` response was queued; poll `GET /jobs/{id}` until the job reaches `completed` or `failed`. Use an `Idempotency-Key` when retrying must not create a duplicate logical job.
