get_dok

Use get_dok to retrieve Webb’s Depth of Knowledge level for a standards case, including the assigned level and rationale. Call it when an agent needs to calibrate task complexity, check whether an assessment item matches the intended cognitive demand, or explain why a standard is classified as recall, skill/concept, strategic thinking, or extended thinking.

Parameters

  • Name
    case_guid
    Type
    string
    Description
    The stable identifier for the standards case to classify. Pass the exact GUID or canonical standard key used by the WKW standards store; do not pass the full standard text.

Example

{"case_guid":"CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.NF.B.4"}

Common pitfalls

  • Do not treat DOK as difficulty. A hard computation can still be DOK 1 or 2 if it only requires recall or routine procedure.
  • Do not pass a lesson objective or rewritten standard text as case_guid; resolve it to a stored standards case first.
  • Use the rationale with the level. The same standard can support higher- or lower-DOK tasks depending on the prompt design.
