  description: Entities are the center of the Alloy world. All evaluations, manual reviews, and documents are related to an entity whether or not you explicitly link them together in your API requests. This endpoint provides the ability to query on an entity and get top-level details about that entity as well as an overview of all items associated with the entity. The tokens from linked evaluations, reviews, or documents can be passed to their own API endpoints for more information about those specific items.
