`origin_visits`

Pack: softwareheritage · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/origin_visits for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

List the archive’s visit history for one repository URL, newest first: when each capture ran, what it produced, and whether it succeeded (“full”), partially succeeded, or failed (“not_found” — the origin was unreachable at that moment). Use this to see how continuously a project has been captured, and to distinguish “never archived” from “archived for years and unreachable this week”. Sourced from the Software Heritage archive.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`url`	string	yes	Full origin URL as archived (e.g. “https://github.com/torvalds/linux”).
`limit`	number	no	Maximum visits to return, 1-100 (default 10).
