# The evidence an intent cites (direct links, section anchors, decision citations), resolved through the evidence trust contract: archived and dismissed items never appear, every item carries a trust tier, and evidenceTiers is computed over the same cited set. The MCP server uses this for get_current_intent include_evidence=true. Each call records an exposure event (tier counts only).

`GET /api/v1/intents/{id}/evidence`

Read-only handoff endpoint introduced with the evidence trust contract (Sep 2026). Prefer it over GET /api/v1/evidence when you need exactly what an intent cites: it resolves every citation regardless of product size and reports per-tier counts that agree with GET /api/v1/intents/:id evidenceTiers.

## Path parameters

## Response `200`

Cited evidence with trust tiers. tier is one of backing (human-reviewed), unreviewed (captured, not yet reviewed), assumption (AI-drafted hypothesis, not observed). Dismissed and archived citations are counted in evidenceTiers.excluded and never returned.
