# Get Commits

`GET /snapshots/{snapshot_id}/commits`

Per-commit change-risk feed — the review-priority queue.

``sort=date`` (default) orders by commit time descending; ``sort=risk`` by
raw change-risk descending. Banding is repo-relative regardless of sort.

``authorship`` narrows to agent-attributed (``agent``) or human-only
(``human``) commits. ``kind`` narrows to the review-priority band
(``high``) or bug-fix commits (``fixes``).

Both filters run over the whole repository, not the loaded page, so
``total`` is the filtered count and paging through a filter reaches every
commit that matches it rather than whatever the first page happened to
hold. The percentile normalizer stays anchored to the full distribution,
so a commit's band is identical regardless of the active filter.
Empty for snapshots indexed before repowise 0.15.0.
