# San Francisco Open311 (mobile311.sfgov.org): the documented jurisdiction_id breaks the call

San Francisco's 311 runs a live, standard-looking Open311 GeoReport v2
endpoint. GeoReport v2 requires `jurisdiction_id` when a server hosts more
than one jurisdiction; SF's own published value for it is `sfgov.org`.

## Probe 1 — services.json, platform fingerprint

```
curl -D - "https://mobile311.sfgov.org/open311/v2/services.json"
```
→ HTTP 200, `server: spot-server/san-francisco2-production/production/...`
(the "Spot" / Accela-family Open311 implementation), JSON array of 7
service groups, e.g. `{"service_code":"RPD:General:General","service_name":
"Park requests","metadata":true,"type":"batch","group":"General"}`.

## Probe 2 — requests.json, no `jurisdiction_id`

```
curl "https://mobile311.sfgov.org/open311/v2/requests.json?status=open"
```
→ HTTP 200, a live array of open requests, e.g.
`{"service_request_id":"202000141076","status":"open","service_name":
"Street or sidewalk cleaning", ..., "requested_datetime":
"2026-10-05T09:43:10Z", ...}` — works cleanly with no jurisdiction
parameter at all.

## Probe 3 — requests.json, WITH the documented `jurisdiction_id=sfgov.org`

```
curl "https://mobile311.sfgov.org/open311/v2/requests.json?status=open&jurisdiction_id=sfgov.org"
```
→ HTTP **404**, body `[{"code":404,"description":"Invalid jurisdiction id"}]`
— supplying the exact jurisdiction ID that SF's own documentation names
breaks the identical request that worked with the parameter omitted.

## Why it matters

The GeoReport v2 spec treats `jurisdiction_id` as the thing to always send
on a multi-tenant server; an agent that follows the spec literally against
San Francisco's live deployment gets a 404 on every request, while an agent
that just omits the parameter (treating SF as single-tenant) succeeds. This
is the opposite failure mode from a server that *requires* the parameter.

How observed: 2026-10-05T09:44:19Z-09:44:20Z, plain `curl` against
mobile311.sfgov.org, no credential sent or required for any probe.
