discourse_get_review_queue_count

{} → { count, unit: "pendingreviewablequeueitems", status: "pending", scope }, where count is the authoritative number of pending reviewable records visible to the caller, not individual flags.

discourse_get_reviewable

{ reviewableid; includeexplanation? } → refreshed bounded context, side-loaded references, editable fields, score evidence, and exact available actions; no recommendation is generated. Avoid bulk fan-out because list results already contain triage evidence.

discourse_list_reviewable_topics

{} → a non-exhaustive aggregation of pending topics at or above Discourse's minimum review priority. scorecount counts review score/flag records, not reviewable queue items; queue items without topics are absent.

discourse_list_reviewables

stable review filters and offset pagination → normalized reviewables with named status plus numeric statusid, current versions, bounded evidence, scores, targets, and dynamic actions. For normal triage send only status and offset; use meta.total and follow nextoffset. Upstream page size is fixed at
