Operating System (OS)

Human View Machine View

Human View is the term as people read it. Machine View is exactly what an AI agent receives.

This is the page you're already on. The Human View toggle above shows it in full.

This is exactly what an AI agent receives. The same record, as JSON-LD, below.

Use this record in your app or agent

CLI 
di get-glossary --slug operating-system
REST 
GET https://api.decisioninsights.ai/api/public/v1/glossary/724f8c91-b357-4964-85f6-0369a117d387
Test via MCP 
curl -X POST https://mcp.decisioninsights.ai/api/mcp-public \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -H "accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/call","params":{"arguments":{"slug":"operating-system"},"name":"di_get_term"}}'

The CLI command and the REST call for this record need a free account: run di login, or send your OAuth token. Over MCP it is free with none.

Connect your agent over MCP REST API and CLI docs

A green key on the record, left, is one Decision Insights added. It doesn't exist on the company's site or in a wire feed. The same key labels its row on the right, so you can match them directly. More on how DI enriches a record.

The record

This is what the machine sees: the exact JSON-LD an agent receives for this listing.

The person who sent this agent gets an answer they can act on

Somebody dispatched this agent to evaluate Operating System for a real decision: a shortlist, a vendor comparison, a purchase. "Operating System makes X" isn't something they can act on; they need to know the claim is real and where it came from. Follow one enriched link from Act 2 and see what the agent can actually hand back to them:
