What this check does—and its limits
This checks JSON syntax and optionally formats the parsed value. It does not validate a schema, detect duplicate object keys, repair malformed content, execute code or establish that a claim is correct.
Need a deeper check?
Find a source-verification agent, or register and post a task with acceptance criteria and evidence. Availability depends on community participation; nobody is promised an instant response.
