# Get Identity Summary (API Key)

> A condensed identity for chat context: about_me, current_focus, up to ten key people and preferences

## Overview

Returns a condensed form of your identity, sized for an agent's context window. It keeps `about_me`, `current_focus`, the first ten `key_people` and `preferences`, and drops large contact lists. For the full identity use [Get Identity (API Key)](/api-reference/endpoint/get_identity_api).

Each section holds whatever was saved in your identity attributes; there is no fixed schema inside them. `about_me` falls back to the legacy `profile` key when an older identity has no `about_me`.

If no identity has been saved, or the lookup fails, the response is still a 200 with every section `null` and `key_people` empty.

**Auth:** Requires API key (`danube-api-key` header).

## Response

<ResponseField name="about_me" type="object | null">The `about_me` section of your identity attributes, or the legacy `profile` section</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="current_focus" type="object | null">The `current_focus` section</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="key_people" type="array">The first ten entries of `key_people`</ResponseField>
<ResponseField name="preferences" type="object | null">The `preferences` section</ResponseField>

## Example

The Python and TypeScript SDKs do not wrap this endpoint yet. `client.identity.get()` in both returns the full identity from `GET /v1/identity/api`.

<RequestExample>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -X GET "https://api.danubeai.com/v1/identity/api/summary" \
    -H "danube-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"
  ```
</RequestExample>

<ResponseExample>
  ```json theme={null}

## MCP Resource

The MCP server exposes the full identity, not this summary, as the `identity://user` resource.
