# PlatPhorm Layout
> Canonical public layout design, responsive grid builder, page composition, visual structure inspector, scoring, export, and MCP/API layout tooling for the PlatPhormNews web mesh.

Base URL: https://layout.platphormnews.com
Version: 0.0.1
Public access: enabled for public-safe Layout builder, templates, preview, scoring, exports, discovery, health, and read-only MCP introspection.
Future protected actions: PLATPHORM_API_KEY support is scaffolded and controlled by PLATPHORM_REQUIRE_API_KEY. Enforcement is off by default for Phase 1 public-safe flows.

## Layout Capabilities
- Templates: 6 active public templates (article-brief, dashboard-command, card-grid, form-flow, docs-layout, gallery-wall)
- Viewports: narrow, mobile, tablet, desktop, wide
- Scoring: deterministic, explainable, modelAssisted=false
- Exports: json, html-css, react-tailwind
- Local persistence: browser-local IndexedDB for non-sensitive drafts; no server persistence is claimed without DATABASE_URL.
- Model scaffolding: degraded (No server-side model provider is configured. Layout guidance uses deterministic checks only.)

## API and MCP
- API docs: https://layout.platphormnews.com/api/docs and https://layout.platphormnews.com/openapi.yaml
- MCP metadata: https://layout.platphormnews.com/api/mcp
- MCP JSON-RPC: POST https://layout.platphormnews.com/api/mcp
- MCP tools: 20 real Layout tools
- MCP resources: 10
- MCP prompts: 10

## Route Compliance
- Implemented route inventory: 40/40
- Degraded states: Server-side persistence is degraded without DATABASE_URL; browser local drafts are active.; Model suggestions are degraded unless a server-only model provider is configured.; Protected execution integrations are scaffolded and open only as public-safe degraded reports unless PLATPHORM_REQUIRE_API_KEY is enabled.

## Integrations
- Phorm: degraded; Phorm handoff is scaffolded and reports degraded until a server endpoint is configured.
- BrowserOps: degraded; BrowserOps execution is future protected and degraded until an endpoint is configured.
- Docs: degraded; Docs report generation is scaffolded and degraded without a backend endpoint.
- Decks: degraded; Deck summary generation is scaffolded and degraded without a backend endpoint.
- Sheets: degraded; Sheets reporting is scaffolded and degraded without a backend endpoint.
- Trace: configured; Trace headers and public trace links are emitted for Layout operations. Server-side export is scaffolded.

## Trust and Trace
Trusted domains default to *.platphormnews.com. Layout operations propagate W3C trace context and safe PlatPhorm headers. Secrets are not included in exports, local drafts, RSS, sitemap, llms files, model prompts, screenshots, or traces.
