Expand an acronym to its canonical full form(s)

Expands an acronym like 'MD', 'LLC', 'PA' to its canonical expansion(s). When no industry hint is supplied, returns a ranked list of cross-industry candidates with per-candidate confidence scores — so 'PA' returns Physician Assistant (healthcare), Pennsylvania (general), Professional Association (general), and Public Accountant (general) with distinct confidences. Pass industry='healthcare' (or any supported industry) to bias toward a single domain. Supported industries today: general, healthcare, it, legal — more will be added over time without changing this endpoint.

Query parameters

include_receiptboolean

Set true to attach an execution receipt at meta.receipt — caller-verifiable sha256 hashes over the RFC 8785 (JCS) canonicalization of this call's as-received JSON body and its result (free, like include_trace). Reproduce with any JCS library: input_hash = sha256(jcs({"tool": <request path>, "args": <your body minus include_trace/include_receipt>})); result_hash = sha256(jcs(result)). For deterministic tools, same input on the same build reproduces result_hash.
