Attach a grounding block to a Yes/No, Choice, Scale, or Tags request to let Sage fetch fresh web evidence before deciding. Useful for recency- or fact-heavy questions.
Request
Options
Response
The response gains grounding_meta with triggered, queries, sources, and timing.
Grounding requires the server to be configured for it. If it is not, omit the block.
For Tags, low_confidence triggers when any tag’s confidence is below the floor (weakest-link); Sage then re-scores all tags on the expanded content.
Pricing
When Sage actually runs a search (grounding_meta.triggered is true), that call uses one extra decision unit on top of the document/token count. No search, no surcharge. See Pricing for the full breakdown.
Batch placement
On /decide, grounding is a top-level field. On /decide/batch, there is no group-level grounding — each question in a group’s questions list carries its own optional grounding block (sort questions still reject it).
