+## Call Operations and Security
+
+### Call Operations
+
+GFQL supports calling Plottable methods through the `call()` operation, providing controlled access to graph transformation and analysis capabilities:
+
+```python
+call(function: str, params: dict) -> ASTCall
+```
+
+Call operations enable:
+- Graph algorithms (PageRank, community detection)
+- Layout computations (ForceAtlas2, Graphviz)
+- Data transformations (filtering, collapsing)
+- Visual encodings (color, size, icons)
+
+### Safelist Architecture
+
+For security and stability, Call operations are restricted to a predefined safelist of methods. This prevents:
+- Arbitrary code execution
+- Access to filesystem or network operations
+- Modification of global state
+- Unsafe graph operations
+
+#### Safelist Categories
+
+**Graph Analysis**
+- `get_degrees`, `get_indegrees`, `get_outdegrees`: Calculate node degrees
+- `compute_cugraph`: Run GPU algorithms (pagerank, louvain, etc.)
+- `compute_igraph`: Run CPU algorithms
+- `get_topological_levels`: Analyze DAG structure
+
+**Filtering & Transformation**
+- `filter_nodes_by_dict`, `filter_edges_by_dict`: Filter by attributes
+- `hop`: Traverse graph with conditions
+- `drop_nodes`, `keep_nodes`: Node selection
+- `collapse`: Merge nodes by attribute
+- `prune_self_edges`: Remove self-loops
+- `materialize_nodes`: Generate node table
+
+**Layout**
+- `layout_cugraph`: GPU-accelerated layouts
+- `layout_igraph`: CPU-based layouts
+- `layout_graphviz`: Graphviz layouts
+- `fa2_layout`: ForceAtlas2 layout
+
+**Visual Encoding**
+- `encode_point_color`: Color nodes/edges
+- `encode_point_size`: Size nodes
+- `encode_point_icon`: Set icons
+- `bind`: Attach visual attributes
+
+### Validation
+
+Call operations undergo multiple validation stages:
+
+1. **Safelist Check**: Function name must be in the safelist
+2. **Parameter Validation**: Parameters validated against method signature
+3. **Type Checking**: Runtime type validation
+4. **Schema Validation**: Compatibility with graph schema
+
+### Error Codes
+
+- **E104**: Function not in safelist
+- **E105**: Missing required parameter
+- **E201**: Parameter type mismatch
+- **E303**: Unknown parameter
+- **E301**: Required column not found (runtime)
+

+## DAG Patterns with Let Bindings
+
+GFQL supports directed acyclic graph (DAG) patterns using Let bindings, which allow you to define named graph operations that can reference each other.
+
+### Let Bindings
+
+```python
+from graphistry import let, ref, n, e_forward
+
+# Define DAG patterns with named bindings
+result = g.gfql(let({
+    'persons': n({'type': 'person'}),
+    'adults': ref('persons', [n({'age': ge(18)})]),
+    'connections': ref('adults', [
+        e_forward({'type': 'knows'}),
+        ref('adults')  # Find connections between adults
+    ])
+}))
+
+# Access individual binding results
+persons_df = result._nodes[result._nodes['persons']]
+adults_df = result._nodes[result._nodes['adults']]
+connection_edges = result._edges[result._edges['connections']]
+```
+
+### Ref (Reference to Named Bindings)
+
+The `ref()` function creates references to named bindings within a Let:
+
+```python
+# Basic reference - just the binding result
+result = g.gfql(let({
+    'base': n({'status': 'active'}),
+    'extended': ref('base')  # Just references 'base'
+}))
+
+# Reference with additional operations
+result = g.gfql(let({
+    'suspects': n({'risk_score': gt(80)}),
+    'lateral_movement': ref('suspects', [
+        e_forward({'type': 'ssh', 'failed_attempts': gt(5)}),
+        n({'type': 'server'})
+    ])
+}))
+```
+
+### Complex DAG Patterns
+
+```python
+# Multi-level analysis pattern
+result = g.gfql(let({
+    # Find high-value accounts
+    'high_value': n({'balance': gt(100000)}),
+
+    # Find transactions from high-value accounts
+    'large_transfers': ref('high_value', [
+        e_forward({'type': 'transfer', 'amount': gt(10000)}),
+        n()
+    ]),
+
+    # Find suspicious patterns
+    'suspicious': ref('large_transfers', [
+        n({'created_recent': True, 'verified': False})
+    ])
+}))
+```
+
+### RemoteGraph References
+
+For distributed computing, RemoteGraph allows referencing graphs on remote servers:
+
+```python
+from graphistry import RemoteGraph
+
+# Reference a remote dataset
+result = g.gfql([
+    RemoteGraph(dataset_id='fraud-network-2024'),
+    n({'risk_score': gt(90)}),
+    e_forward()
+])
+```
+
+## Call Operations with Let Bindings
+
+Call operations can be used within Let bindings for complex workflows:
+
+```python
+result = g.gfql(let({
+    # Initial filtering
+    'suspects': n({'flagged': True}),
+
+    # Compute PageRank on subgraph
+    'ranked': ref('suspects', [
+        call('compute_cugraph', {'alg': 'pagerank'})
+    ]),
+
+    # Find high PageRank nodes
+    'influencers': ref('ranked', [
+        n({'pagerank': gt(0.01)})
+    ])
+}))
+```
+

+10. Sequencing Programs with Let
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+GFQL's Let bindings enable you to sequence complex graph programs as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). This allows you to build sophisticated analysis pipelines with named operations that reference each other:
+
+**Example: Multi-stage fraud analysis**
+
+::
+
+    from graphistry import let, ref, call
+
+    result = g.gfql(let({
+        # Stage 1: Find suspicious accounts
+        'suspicious_accounts': n({'risk_score': gt(80), 'created_recent': True}),
+
+        # Stage 2: Trace money flows from suspicious accounts
+        'money_flows': ref('suspicious_accounts', [
+            e_forward({'type': 'transfer', 'amount': gt(10000)}, hops=3),
+            n()
+        ]),
+
+        # Stage 3: Compute PageRank to find central nodes
+        'ranked': ref('money_flows', [
+            call('compute_cugraph', {'alg': 'pagerank'})
+        ]),
+
+        # Stage 4: Identify high-risk clusters
+        'high_risk_clusters': ref('ranked', [
+            n({'pagerank': gt(0.01)}),
+            call('compute_cugraph', {'alg': 'louvain'})
+        ])
+    }))
+
+    # Access results from each stage
+    suspicious = result._nodes[result._nodes['suspicious_accounts']]
+    clusters = result._nodes[result._nodes['high_risk_clusters']]
+    print(f'Found {len(suspicious)} suspicious accounts')
+    print(f'Identified {clusters["community"].nunique()} high-risk clusters')
+
+**Key benefits of Let bindings:**
+
+- **Declarative DAG**: Express complex multi-stage analysis as a clear computation graph
+- **Efficient execution**: All stages execute in a single optimized pass
+- **Named results**: Access intermediate results by name for detailed analysis
+- **Composability**: Build complex patterns from simpler named operations
+
+11. Run remotely
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 You may want to run GFQL remotely because the data is remote or a GPU is available remotely:

+
+Loading Graph Data
+==================
+
+This guide covers various methods to load graph data into PyGraphistry for use with GFQL queries. Whether you're working with CSV files, databases, or existing graph formats, PyGraphistry provides flexible options for data ingestion.
+
+Basic Graph Creation
+--------------------
+
+Creating from DataFrames
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The most common way to create a graph is from edge and node DataFrames:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    import pandas as pd
+    import graphistry
+
+    # Create edge DataFrame
+    edges_df = pd.DataFrame({
+        'source': ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie', 'Alice'],
+        'destination': ['Bob', 'Charlie', 'Alice', 'Charlie'],
+        'weight': [1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0],
+        'type': ['friend', 'colleague', 'friend', 'colleague']
+    })
+
+    # Create node DataFrame (optional)
+    nodes_df = pd.DataFrame({
+        'id': ['Alice', 'Bob', 'Charlie'],
+        'age': [30, 25, 35],
+        'department': ['Sales', 'Engineering', 'Marketing']
+    })
+
+    # Create graph
+    g = graphistry.edges(edges_df, source='source', destination='destination')
+    g = g.nodes(nodes_df, node='id')
+
+Column Name Configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You can use any column names for your graph structure:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    # Custom column names
+    edges_df = pd.DataFrame({
+        'from_user': [...],
+        'to_user': [...],
+        'interaction_type': [...]
+    })
+
+    g = graphistry.edges(edges_df, source='from_user', destination='to_user')
+
+Loading from Files
+------------------
+
+CSV Files
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    # Load edges from CSV
+    edges_df = pd.read_csv('edges.csv')
+    nodes_df = pd.read_csv('nodes.csv')
+
+    g = graphistry.edges(edges_df, 'source', 'target')
+    g = g.nodes(nodes_df, 'node_id')
+
+    # Direct loading with custom parsing
+    edges_df = pd.read_csv('transactions.csv',
+                          parse_dates=['timestamp'],
+                          dtype={'amount': float})
+
+    g = graphistry.edges(edges_df, 'sender', 'receiver')
+
+Parquet Files
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For larger datasets, Parquet files offer better performance:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    # CPU loading
+    edges_df = pd.read_parquet('edges.parquet')
+    nodes_df = pd.read_parquet('nodes.parquet')
+
+    # GPU loading with cuDF
+    import cudf
+    edges_gdf = cudf.read_parquet('edges.parquet')
+    nodes_gdf = cudf.read_parquet('nodes.parquet')
+
+    g = graphistry.edges(edges_gdf, 'src', 'dst').nodes(nodes_gdf, 'id')
+
+JSON Files
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    import json
+
+    # Load JSON data
+    with open('graph_data.json', 'r') as f:
+        data = json.load(f)
+
+    # Convert to DataFrames
+    edges_df = pd.DataFrame(data['edges'])
+    nodes_df = pd.DataFrame(data['nodes'])
+
+    g = graphistry.edges(edges_df, 'source', 'target').nodes(nodes_df, 'id')
+
+Loading from Databases
+----------------------
+
+SQL Databases
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    import pandas as pd
+    from sqlalchemy import create_engine
+
+    # Create database connection
+    engine = create_engine('postgresql://user:password@host:port/database')
+
+    # Load edges from SQL query
+    edge_query = """
+        SELECT user_id as source,
+               friend_id as destination,
+               created_at,
+               relationship_type
+        FROM friendships
+        WHERE created_at > '2023-01-01'
+    """
+    edges_df = pd.read_sql(edge_query, engine)
+
+    # Load nodes
+    node_query = """
+        SELECT user_id as id,
+               username,
+               created_date,
+               account_type
+        FROM users
+    """
+    nodes_df = pd.read_sql(node_query, engine)
+
+    g = graphistry.edges(edges_df, 'source', 'destination')
+    g = g.nodes(nodes_df, 'id')
+
+NoSQL Databases
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    from pymongo import MongoClient
+
+    # MongoDB example
+    client = MongoClient('mongodb://localhost:27017/')
+    db = client['graph_database']
+
+    # Load edges
+    edges = list(db.edges.find())
+    edges_df = pd.DataFrame(edges)
+
+    # Load nodes
+    nodes = list(db.nodes.find())
+    nodes_df = pd.DataFrame(nodes)
+
+    g = graphistry.edges(edges_df, 'from', 'to').nodes(nodes_df, '_id')
+
+Graph Database Export
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    # Neo4j export example
+    from neo4j import GraphDatabase
+
+    driver = GraphDatabase.driver("neo4j://localhost:7687",
+                                 auth=("neo4j", "password"))
+
+    with driver.session() as session:
+        # Export edges
+        result = session.run("""
+            MATCH (n)-[r]->(m)
+            RETURN id(n) as source, id(m) as target, type(r) as rel_type
+        """)
+        edges_df = pd.DataFrame([r.data() for r in result])
+
+        # Export nodes
+        result = session.run("""
+            MATCH (n)
+            RETURN id(n) as id, labels(n) as labels, properties(n) as props
+        """)
+        nodes_df = pd.DataFrame([r.data() for r in result])
+
+    g = graphistry.edges(edges_df, 'source', 'target').nodes(nodes_df, 'id')
+
+Working with Large Datasets
+----------------------------
+
+Chunked Loading
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+For very large files, load data in chunks:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    # Process large CSV in chunks
+    chunk_size = 100000
+    chunks = []
+
+    for chunk in pd.read_csv('large_edges.csv', chunksize=chunk_size):
+        # Process/filter each chunk
+        filtered = chunk[chunk['weight'] > 0.5]
+        chunks.append(filtered)
+
+    edges_df = pd.concat(chunks, ignore_index=True)
+    g = graphistry.edges(edges_df, 'source', 'target')
+
+GPU Memory Management
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When using GPU acceleration:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    import cudf
+
+    # Monitor GPU memory
+    print(f"GPU memory before: {cudf.cuda.cuda.get_memory_info()}")
+
+    # Load data
+    edges_gdf = cudf.read_parquet('edges.parquet')
+
+    # Sample if needed
+    if len(edges_gdf) > 10_000_000:
+        edges_gdf = edges_gdf.sample(n=10_000_000)
+
+    g = graphistry.edges(edges_gdf, 'src', 'dst')
+
+    print(f"GPU memory after: {cudf.cuda.cuda.get_memory_info()}")
+
+Data Preprocessing
+------------------
+
+Type Conversion
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Ensure proper data types for optimal performance:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    # Convert types
+    edges_df['weight'] = edges_df['weight'].astype(float)
+    edges_df['timestamp'] = pd.to_datetime(edges_df['timestamp'])
+    edges_df['category'] = edges_df['category'].astype('category')
+
+    # For GPU, use appropriate types
+    if using_gpu:
+        edges_gdf['source'] = edges_gdf['source'].astype('int32')
+        edges_gdf['destination'] = edges_gdf['destination'].astype('int32')
+
+Handling Missing Data
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    # Fill missing values
+    edges_df['weight'].fillna(1.0, inplace=True)
+    nodes_df['label'].fillna('Unknown', inplace=True)
+
+    # Drop rows with missing critical values
+    edges_df = edges_df.dropna(subset=['source', 'destination'])
+
+    # Infer missing nodes from edges
+    g = graphistry.edges(edges_df, 'source', 'destination')
+    # GFQL automatically infers nodes from edge endpoints
+
+Data Validation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    # Validate graph connectivity
+    def validate_graph(edges_df, nodes_df=None):
+        # Check for self-loops if needed
+        self_loops = edges_df[edges_df['source'] == edges_df['destination']]
+        print(f"Self-loops: {len(self_loops)}")
+
+        # Check for duplicates
+        duplicates = edges_df.duplicated(subset=['source', 'destination'])
+        print(f"Duplicate edges: {duplicates.sum()}")
+
+        # Verify node coverage
+        if nodes_df is not None:
+            edge_nodes = set(edges_df['source']) | set(edges_df['destination'])
+            defined_nodes = set(nodes_df['id'])
+            missing = edge_nodes - defined_nodes
+            if missing:
+                print(f"Warning: {len(missing)} nodes in edges but not in nodes table")
+
+        return edges_df, nodes_df
+
+    edges_df, nodes_df = validate_graph(edges_df, nodes_df)
+    g = graphistry.edges(edges_df, 'source', 'destination').nodes(nodes_df, 'id')
+
+Remote Data Loading
+-------------------
+
+Binding to Existing Datasets
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    # Bind to remote dataset
+    g = graphistry.bind(dataset_id='my-dataset-id')
+
+    # Query remote data
+    result = g.gfql_remote([
+        n({'type': 'person'}),
+        e_forward()
+    ])
+
+Uploading Local Data
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    # Upload local graph to remote server
+    g = graphistry.edges(edges_df, 'source', 'destination')
+    g = g.nodes(nodes_df, 'id')
+
+    # Upload and get dataset ID
+    g_remote = g.upload()
+    print(f"Dataset ID: {g_remote._dataset_id}")
+
+    # Run remote queries
+    result = g_remote.gfql_remote([...])
+
+Best Practices
+--------------
+
+1. **Schema Consistency**: Ensure consistent column names and types across your data pipeline
+2. **Memory Management**: For large datasets, consider sampling or chunking strategies
+3. **Index Optimization**: Create appropriate indexes in your database for graph queries
+4. **Data Quality**: Validate and clean data before loading to avoid runtime errors
+5. **GPU vs CPU**: Choose the appropriate engine based on data size and available resources
+
+Example: Complete Loading Pipeline
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    import pandas as pd
+    import graphistry
+    from graphistry import n, e_forward, gt
+

+        """Load and prepare graph data for GFQL analysis."""
+
+        # Choose appropriate loader
+        if gpu:
+            import cudf
+            edges_df = cudf.read_parquet(edges_path)
+            nodes_df = cudf.read_parquet(nodes_path)
+            engine = 'cudf'
+        else:
+            edges_df = pd.read_parquet(edges_path)
+            nodes_df = pd.read_parquet(nodes_path)
+            engine = 'pandas'
+
+        # Data cleaning
+        edges_df = edges_df.dropna(subset=['source', 'destination'])
+        edges_df['weight'] = edges_df['weight'].fillna(1.0)
+
+        # Create graph
+        g = graphistry.edges(edges_df, 'source', 'destination')
+        g = g.nodes(nodes_df, 'node_id')
+
+        # Validate
+        print(f"Loaded {len(g._edges)} edges and {len(g._nodes)} nodes")
+        print(f"Using engine: {engine}")
+
+        return g, engine
+
+    # Use the pipeline
+    g, engine = load_and_prepare_graph('edges.parquet', 'nodes.parquet', gpu=True)
+
+    # Run GFQL query
+    result = g.gfql([
+        n({'risk_score': gt(75)}),

+Let Bindings and DAG Patterns
+-----------------------------
+
+Use Let bindings to create directed acyclic graph (DAG) patterns with named operations:
+
+- **Basic Let with named bindings:**
+
+  .. code-block:: python
+
+      from graphistry import let, ref
+
+      result = g.gfql(let({
+          'suspects': n({'risk_score': gt(80)}),
+          'connections': ref('suspects', [
+              e_forward({'type': 'transaction'}),
+              n()
+          ])
+      }))
+
+      # Access results by name
+      suspects = result._nodes[result._nodes['suspects']]
+      connections = result._edges[result._edges['connections']]
+
+- **Complex DAG with multiple references:**
+
+  .. code-block:: python
+
+      result = g.gfql(let({
+          'high_value': n({'balance': gt(100000)}),
+          'large_transfers': ref('high_value', [
+              e_forward({'type': 'transfer', 'amount': gt(10000)}),
+              n()
+          ]),
+          'suspicious': ref('large_transfers', [
+              n({'created_recent': True, 'verified': False})
+          ])
+      }))
+
+- **Cross-references between bindings:**
+
+  .. code-block:: python
+
+      result = g.gfql(let({
+          'persons': n({'type': 'person'}),
+          'adults': ref('persons', [n({'age': ge(18)})]),
+          'connections': ref('adults', [
+              e_forward({'type': 'knows'}),
+              ref('adults')  # Find connections between adults
+          ])
+      }))
+
+Call Operations
+---------------
+
+Use Call to invoke Plottable methods for graph algorithms and transformations:
+
+- **Compute PageRank:**
+
+  .. code-block:: python
+
+      from graphistry import call
+
+      result = g.gfql([
+          n({'type': 'person'}),
+          call('compute_cugraph', {'alg': 'pagerank', 'damping': 0.85})
+      ])
+
+      # Results have pagerank column
+      top_nodes = result._nodes.sort_values('pagerank', ascending=False).head(10)
+
+- **Community detection with Louvain:**
+
+  .. code-block:: python
+
+      result = g.gfql([
+          n({'active': True}),
+          e_forward(to_fixed_point=True),
+          call('compute_cugraph', {'alg': 'louvain'})
+      ])
+
+      # Results have community column
+      communities = result._nodes.groupby('community').size()
+
+- **Filter and compute within Let:**
+
+  .. code-block:: python
+
+      result = g.gfql(let({
+          'suspects': n({'flagged': True}),
+          'ranked': ref('suspects', [
+              call('compute_cugraph', {'alg': 'pagerank'})
+          ]),
+          'influencers': ref('ranked', [
+              n({'pagerank': gt(0.01)})
+          ])
+      }))
+
+- **Apply layout algorithms:**
+
+  .. code-block:: python
+
+      # ForceAtlas2 layout
+      result = g.gfql([
+          n({'type': is_in(['person', 'company'])}),
+          e_forward(),
+          call('fa2_layout', {'iterations': 100})
+      ])
+
+      # Results have x, y coordinates for visualization
+      result.plot()
+
+RemoteGraph References
+----------------------
+
+Reference graphs on remote servers for distributed computing:
+
+- **Basic remote reference:**
+
+  .. code-block:: python
+
+      from graphistry import RemoteGraph
+
+      result = g.gfql([
+          RemoteGraph(dataset_id='fraud-network-2024'),
+          n({'risk_score': gt(90)}),
+          e_forward()
+      ])
+
+- **Combine remote and local data in Let:**
+
+  .. code-block:: python
+
+      result = g.gfql(let({
+          'remote_data': RemoteGraph(dataset_id='historical-2023'),
+          'high_risk': ref('remote_data', [
+              n({'risk_score': gt(95)})
+          ]),
+          'connections': ref('high_risk', [
+              e_forward({'type': 'transaction'}),
+              n()
+          ])

 =?UTF-8?q?ote=20naming=20consistency?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

All GFQL operations use lowercase aliases:
- let() not Let()
- ref() not Ref()
- call() not Call()
- remote() not RemoteGraph()

Fixed documentation to use correct lowercase 'remote' alias
