-d '{"id":1,"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"tools/call","params":{"arguments":{"slug":"wide-area-network"},"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.
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 person who sent this agent gets an answer they can act on
Somebody dispatched this agent to evaluate Wide Area Network for a real decision: a shortlist, a vendor comparison, a purchase. "Wide Area Network 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:
