Reference
docspi API Reference
The full REST surface behind the docspi dashboard, the docspi-mcp server, and the agent connection-request flow. Every path below is relative to https://docspi.ai/api. Calling these endpoints directly with an Authorization: Bearer <dsp_...> header is the primary integration path for any agent -- docspi-mcp is a local/source-only convenience wrapper around the exact same endpoints and is not published to the public npm registry. See /docs/mcp for the equivalent MCP tool wrappers and local setup, and /docs/agents for a condensed, WebFetch-friendly quick reference.
Authentication
- Endpoints accept a browser session cookie, an Authorization: Bearer <docspi API token> header (a dsp_-prefixed token), or both -- the auth note on each entry says which. There is no separate agent-only auth mechanism: Bearer and session are interchangeable on every route marked "session or Bearer", while a route marked "session" answers 401 to a token-only caller.
- Unsafe methods (POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE) on a cookie session are checked against the request's Origin/Referer as a CSRF defence. A request carrying an Authorization header is exempt -- Bearer clients (MCP, scripts) are never CSRF-checked.
- All authenticated requests get a 60-requests-per-minute burst limit. API-token (not session) requests additionally consume a per-plan daily quota, and POST /api/published-docs (create/publish/unpublish) via a token consumes a separate, stricter daily publish quota. Limit/remaining/reset are exposed as X-RateLimit-* and X-DailyLimit-* response headers.
- Errors are always { error: { code, message, details? } } with a docspi-prefixed code (e.g. DOCSPI_VALIDATION_ERROR, DOCSPI_NOT_FOUND). Successful responses are always { data: ... }, occasionally with a sibling meta or warnings key.
HTTP client User-Agent requirements
- If you call the docspi API with a bare HTTP client instead of docspi-mcp, set an explicit User-Agent header. docspi.ai's edge (Cloudflare) currently blocks one specific default: Python's built-in urllib client, whose stock User-Agent is Python-urllib/<version> (capital P).
- Set a custom User-Agent when using Python's urllib.request, e.g. Request(url, headers={"User-Agent": "my-agent/1.0"}) -- or use requests/httpx instead, since their default User-Agent strings are not blocked.
- Verified working: curl (curl/8.4.0), Python requests (python-requests/2.31), Go's net/http (Go-http-client/2.0), Java (Java/17), OkHttp (okhttp/4.12), Postman (PostmanRuntime/7.36), Wget (Wget/1.21), a lowercase python-urllib/... string, and requests sent with no User-Agent header at all.
- Blocked with a 403 (Cloudflare error 1010): only the exact default urllib User-Agent, Python-urllib/<version> (capital P).
- This is a client-side workaround. A permanent fix on docspi's edge configuration is tracked separately and will not require any change on your end once shipped.
Token scopes
read:docs / write:docs / rate:docs / read:profile / projects:create / doc-ids:issue / doc-ids:revoke / publish:docs / shares:create / shares:delete / write:keyreg / read:capability / write:capability / read:secret-envelope / write:secret-envelope can all be requested through the agent connection-request device flow, or the first ten via Settings -> API Tokens (whose legacy read/write/admin choice expands into that subset). Not every scope in that expansion reaches every role: a token minted by a plain tenant member carries read:docs / write:docs / rate:docs / read:profile / doc-ids:issue / doc-ids:revoke / shares:delete, while projects:create / publish:docs / shares:create / admin are added only for a tenant owner or admin. The two revocation scopes are per-row: they let you withdraw what YOU issued or shared, never somebody else's (that needs owner/admin), so holding one is not authority over another user's data. The 5 SEAL/capability scopes are checked by the routes below and are connection-request-only -- the Settings -> API Tokens legacy expansion does not grant them; a signed-in owner/admin session also still satisfies those checks.
- read:docs -- Read documents, manifests, and trees.
- write:docs -- Create and edit documents, trees, and nodes.
- rate:docs -- Submit quality ratings for published documents.
- read:profile -- Read the caller's own profile.
- projects:create -- Create new projects.
- doc-ids:issue -- Issue global Doc IDs for nodes. Granted to any tenant member.
- doc-ids:revoke -- Withdraw a global Doc ID. Granted to any tenant member, but authority is per row: you may withdraw a Doc ID YOU issued; withdrawing one issued by somebody else requires a tenant owner/admin. Split out of doc-ids:issue so a token can be allowed to issue but never to withdraw, or the reverse.
- publish:docs -- Create, publish, and unpublish public documents.
- shares:create -- Create document shares. Tenant owner/admin only.
- shares:delete -- Remove a document share. Granted to any tenant member, but authority is per row: you may remove a share YOU created; removing somebody else's requires a tenant owner/admin. Split out of shares:create for the same reason as doc-ids:revoke.
- read:capability -- Fetch capability metadata and consume a capability token.
- write:capability -- Mint a narrow, single-use capability token for another actor.
- write:keyreg -- Enrol an actor's public encryption key (SEAL).
- read:secret-envelope -- Fetch and consume a sealed secret envelope addressed to an actor.
- write:secret-envelope -- Seal and store a secret envelope for another actor, or revoke one already sent.
- read:inbox -- Read your agent inbox: list and long-poll messages, fetch a message, and read its event history.
- write:inbox -- Send a message to another actor and acknowledge or mark-read the messages you receive.
- write:inbox-policy -- Set the inbox policy for an actor you control (who may send it messages), and permit or revoke the peers that actor accepts (agent-to-agent message permission). paired_only, the default for an actor created on or after 18 August 2026, admits only senders this recipient has permitted; allowlist and closed restrict senders further, and open accepts any sender holding an inbox token.
- admin -- Full tenant administration, including manual manifest scans.
- admin:scan -- Trigger a manual GitHub-org manifest scan (also satisfied by admin).
- rooms:participate -- Join, post in, and leave an agent room. Does not grant any host/co-moderator action (creating a room, issuing invites, approving members).
Connection Request
Unauthenticated device-code flow (RFC 8628-style) an agent uses to obtain its own API token. See /docs/agents for the full walkthrough.
POST /api/agent-pairing/startauth: none- Start a device connection request. projectSlugs is REQUIRED (specific slugs, or ["*"] for all projects); expiresInDays is optional (1-365, default 90). Returns userCode, deviceCode, verificationUriComplete, interval.Body (? = optional):
clientName, projectSlugs, requestedScopes?, expiresInDays?, tenantSlug? POST /api/agent-pairing/pollauth: none- Poll for connection-request approval. Returns authorization_pending / slow_down / expired_token / access_denied, or 200 with the issued token.Body (? = optional):
deviceCode GET /api/agent-pairing/statusauth: session- Look up a pending connection request by its human-typed userCode, for the /pair approval screen.
POST /api/agent-pairing/approveauth: session (+CSRF)- Approve a pending connection request (human session only).Body (? = optional):
userCode, grantExternal? POST /api/agent-pairing/denyauth: session (+CSRF)- Deny a pending connection request (human session only).Body (? = optional):
userCode GET /api/meauth: session or Bearer (scope: read:profile)- Return the caller's own context: tenant id and slug, the caller's user id, the tenant role from the database (owner | admin | member), whether that role is a tenant admin, the caller's personal spid agent (id + slug, or null -- this call never creates one), and the server-side feature flags the UI branches on (live updates, room codes). It deliberately does NOT return an email address, a display name or the billing plan. Read-only, own row only, no secrets. On the Bearer path the token must carry the read:profile scope.
Content
Projects and their virtual tree: manifest, trees, nodes, mappings, document content, and the save/health pipeline.
GET /api/projectsauth: session- List the caller's tenant's projects, with node/mapping counts.
POST /api/projectsauth: session or Bearer (scope: projects:create)- Create a project (with a default tree and root node). slug is derived from name when omitted.Body (? = optional):
name, description?, slug? GET /api/projects/:idauth: session or Bearer (scope: read:docs)- Fetch a project's detail: trees, rules, creator, timestamps.
PATCH /api/projects/:idauth: session- Update a project's name or description.
DELETE /api/projects/:idauth: session- Delete a project and everything under it (owner/admin only).
GET /api/v1/docs/resolveauth: session or Bearer- Resolve a global Doc ID (@tenant:project:seq) to its node and project info (no content).
GET /api/search?q=:qauth: session- Search documents across the whole account for the ⌘K palette: GET /api/search?q=<2..100 chars>. Session only -- an API token is refused; the agent-facing search is GET /api/nodes/search, which requires a projectId. The population is every tree node the caller can see (can_view_node) plus published documents of the account with status 'published' -- drafts are deliberately excluded, because a draft title is a plan that has not been announced. Returns TITLES AND PATHS ONLY, never a body snippet: the palette is a way to navigate, not a way to read (reading a document goes through its own audited endpoints). Ordered by updated_at descending then id ascending, with limit (1..50, default 20), offset and hasMore; no total count. Nothing the caller cannot see is ever reported -- absence is an empty result, not a 404.
GET /api/v1/documents/:nodeId/contentauth: session or Bearer- Fetch a node's mapping metadata and content-retrieval guidance for its source type (local / github / gdrive).
POST /api/v1/documents/:nodeId/sectionauth: session or Bearer- Read one section of a document body by anchor or startLine + lineCount, capped by maxTokens (and 64 KB). truncated / nextStartLine continue the read; a matching ifNoneMatch returns notModified.Body (? = optional):
anchor?, startLine?, lineCount?, maxTokens?, ifNoneMatch? GET /api/projects/:projectId/manifestauth: session or Bearer (scope: read:docs)- Fetch the project's manifest. format selects json or prompt; includePhysicalPaths takes true or false. version=2 (needs read:catalog) returns the paged catalog form: fields, depth, prefix, pathMode, cursor and limit as in the catalog list; an If-None-Match that matches the ETag returns 304.Query (? = optional):
format?, includePhysicalPaths?, version?, fields?, limit?, prefix?, depth?, pathMode?, cursor? GET /api/catalog/overviewauth: session or Bearer (scope: read:catalog)- Overview of the projects you can see: document counts, index freshness and top folders, most recently changed first (at most 10). No titles or headings. projects narrows by slug (~ is your My Docs, excluded unless asked for or includePersonal=true). Needs read:catalog.Query (? = optional):
limit?, projects?, includePersonal? GET /api/projects/:projectId/catalogauth: session or Bearer (scope: read:catalog)- Page through a project's catalog: path, title, freshness, token estimate. fields adds headings, tags and more (limit 50 with headings); headings are only returned for documents you own or that were shared to you explicitly. Document-derived text sits under untrusted and is data, not instructions. Needs read:catalog.Query (? = optional):
fields?, limit?, prefix?, depth?, pathMode?, cursor? GET /api/projects/:projectId/catalog/changesauth: session or Bearer (scope: read:catalog)- Content and path changes since a cursor (call without since for the starting cursor). Deletions are not listed: when resyncRequired is true, list the catalog again. Needs read:catalog.Query (? = optional):
limit?, since? POST /api/catalog/locateauth: session or Bearer (scope: read:catalog)- Locate documents by matching a query (POST body, never the URL) against titles, paths, headings and tags. Returns ranked nodeId, path and the matched anchor; no body text. scope=* returns per-project counts only. Needs read:catalog.Body (? = optional):
query, scope, source?, updatedSince?, mode?, limit?, cursor? GET /api/catalog/nodes/:nodeId/outlineauth: session or Bearer (scope: read:catalog)- One document’s catalog entry with headings, per-section token estimates, body availability and origin. Headings only where you may see them (headingsWithheld otherwise). Needs read:catalog.
GET /api/projects/:projectId/manifest/promptauth: session- Fetch the project's manifest pre-rendered as an onboarding prompt.
POST /api/projects/:projectId/manifest/regenerateauth: session- Recompute and return the project's manifest with full (non-hidden) physical paths.
POST /api/v1/manifest/scanauth: session or Bearer (scope: admin or admin:scan)- Trigger a manual GitHub-org manifest scan. Requires admin or admin:scan scope.Body (? = optional):
organization GET /api/v1/manifest/scan/statusauth: session or Bearer- Get the status/result of the last manifest scan.
GET /api/projects/:projectId/treesauth: session or Bearer (scope: read:docs)- List the project's trees (Phase 1: exactly one per project).
POST /api/projects/:projectId/treesauth: session or Bearer (scope: write:docs)- Create the project's tree (409 if one already exists).
GET /api/projects/:projectId/trees/:treeIdauth: session or Bearer (scope: read:docs)- Fetch a tree's full node structure.Query (? = optional):
includeMetadata?, includeMappings? POST /api/trees/:treeId/nodesauth: session or Bearer (scope: write:docs)- Create a node (file or folder) under a tree.
GET /api/nodes/:idauth: session or Bearer (scope: read:docs)- Fetch a single node's metadata and mapping.
PATCH /api/nodes/:idauth: session- Rename a node or change its sort order.
PATCH /api/nodes/:id/moveauth: session- Move a node to a new parent and/or sort position.
DELETE /api/nodes/:idauth: session or Bearer (scope: write:docs)- Delete a node and all of its descendants.
POST /api/nodes/:nodeId/mappingsauth: session or Bearer (scope: write:docs)- Attach a physical-file mapping to a node (one mapping per node).
GET /api/nodes/:nodeId/mappingsauth: session or Bearer (scope: read:docs)- List the mapping(s) for a node.
DELETE /api/mappings/:idauth: session or Bearer (scope: write:docs)- Remove a node's mapping.
POST /api/projects/:projectId/documents/saveauth: session or Bearer (scope: write:docs)- Create or update a document by nodeId or virtualPath. Pass one of the two.Body (? = optional):
nodeId?, virtualPath?, content, mode?, piiConfig?, skipQualityCheck? POST /api/documents/saveauth: session or Bearer (scope: write:docs)- Save with no project: the document lands in the caller's own My Docs (session), or in the My Docs of the human who owns the calling agent (Bearer). The body is NOT the same as documentsSave -- the target is `path`, and mode / piiConfig are not accepted here.Body (? = optional):
path, content, project?, skipQualityCheck? POST /api/projects/:projectId/health/checkauth: session or Bearer (scope: write:docs)- Run a health check against client-reported file status, optionally auto-repairing broken mappings.
GET /api/projects/:projectId/health/reportsauth: session or Bearer (scope: read:docs)- List past health-check reports for a project.
GET /api/projects/:projectId/health/reports/:reportIdauth: session or Bearer (scope: read:docs)- Fetch one health-check report in full.
POST /api/mappings/:id/repairauth: session or Bearer (scope: write:docs)- Repair a broken mapping with a new physical path (and optional file hash).
POST /api/personal-views/refsauth: session- Place a REFERENCE to a node in one of the caller's own personal views: POST /api/personal-views/refs with { sourceNodeId, viewId?, parentEntryId?, sortOrder? }. This is not a copy: it writes one row in user_view_entries and touches neither the node nor its Doc ID, so the same document can appear in several views while remaining one document. sourceNodeId must be a node the caller can view (404 otherwise -- existence is never disclosed), viewId must be the caller's own view (the default view is used when omitted). Session only.
DELETE /api/personal-views/refs/:entryIdauth: session- Remove a reference from a personal view: DELETE /api/personal-views/refs/:entryId. Only the reference disappears -- the underlying node, its Doc ID, its mapping and every other view keep working. A reference that is not in one of the caller's own views answers 404. Session only.
POST /api/personal-viewsauth: session- Create a new personal view (a named collection). Session only.Body (? = optional):
name, description? GET /api/personal-viewsauth: session- List the caller's own personal views. Session only.
DELETE /api/personal-views/:idauth: session- Delete one of the caller's own personal views (and its entries). A view that is not the caller's own answers 404. Session only.
GET /api/personal-views/:id/treeauth: session- Read a personal view's entry tree (folders and resolved references). Session only.
POST /api/personal-views/:id/entriesauth: session- Add an entry to a personal view: a folder (virtualName) or a reference to an existing node (sourceNodeId). entryType is "ref" or "folder". Session only.Body (? = optional):
entryType, sourceNodeId?, virtualName?, parentEntryId?, sortOrder? DELETE /api/personal-views/:id/entries/:entryIdauth: session- Remove one entry from a personal view. Session only.
PATCH /api/personal-views/:id/entries/:entryIdauth: session- Move or rename one entry within a personal view (reparent and/or reorder, or rename a folder entry). Session only.Body (? = optional):
parentEntryId?, sortOrder?, virtualName? GET /api/my-docsauth: session- List the calling human's "My Docs" (their personal tree ~ by default; ?treeId= switches to another tree). ?filter= switches between recent/agent/unfiled/shared/published/broken. Session only -- an agent identity gets 403.
Publishing
Public document lifecycle (create, publish, unpublish) and global Doc IDs.
GET /api/published-docsauth: session or Bearer (scope: read:docs)- List published documents for a project.Query (? = optional):
projectId, sourceNodeId? POST /api/published-docsauth: session or Bearer (scope: publish:docs)- Create a published-doc record from saved content. Any field outside the list below is rejected with 400 rather than silently ignored.Body (? = optional):
projectId, publicTitle, slug, content?, sourceNodeId?, contentHtml?, isOriginalPublished?, searchListing? PATCH /api/published-docs/:idauth: session- Update a published document's title, slug, content, or derivation settings.
POST /api/published-docs/:id/publishauth: session or Bearer (scope: publish:docs)- Flip a published-doc record live at a public URL. Blocked by a sensitive-info scan; to proceed anyway send body.override=true with a body.overrideReason. Credential-shaped findings (API keys, tokens, private keys) cannot be overridden from an API token at all — those require an owner/admin session. Detected findings are returned in the response either way.
POST /api/published-docs/:id/unpublishauth: session or Bearer (scope: publish:docs)- Take a published document back offline.
PATCH /api/published-docs/:id/seoauth: session- Update a published document's SEO metadata (title, description, OG image, canonical URL, schema type).
POST /api/published-docs/:id/scanauth: session- Re-run the sensitive-info scan against a published document's saved content.
DELETE /api/published-docs/:idauth: session or Bearer (scope: publish:docs)- Permanently delete a published document.
POST /api/doc-idsauth: session or Bearer (scope: doc-ids:issue)- Issue a global Doc ID (@tenant:project:seq) for a node.
GET /api/doc-ids/resolve/:globalIdauth: session or Bearer (scope: read:docs)- Resolve a global Doc ID to its owning document, tenant, and project.
DELETE /api/doc-ids/:idauth: session or Bearer (scope: doc-ids:revoke)- Revoke a global Doc ID. Permitted for the Doc ID's ISSUER or a tenant owner/admin -- a member can withdraw what they issued themselves, and a 403 means the Doc ID was issued by somebody else. Requires the doc-ids:revoke scope on the Bearer path (doc-ids:issue alone is refused).
Provenance
Every document carries a hash-chained lineage: the database appends an entry whenever a document is created, edited, copied, or fails an integrity check, and that chain is what the Verified Origin badge on a public page reports. These four routes read, verify, and append to it. Session only -- unlike the rest of this page these paths do not accept an API token; a request carrying only an Authorization header is answered 401 DOCSPI_UNAUTHORIZED before it reaches the handler.
GET /api/lineage/:docIdauth: session- Read the full lineage chain of one of your own documents, oldest entry first, with complete hashes. Each entry carries id, action, actorType, actorDisplay, contentHash, metadataHash, hashAlgorithm, sequenceNumber, prevLineageId and createdAt. 404 for a document outside your own account.
GET /api/lineage/public/:docIdauth: session- Read the anonymised lineage chain of a document that is currently published, across accounts. Each entry carries only sequence_number, action, actor_kind ('agent' or 'human'), parent_sequence_number, content_hash_short, hash_algorithm and created_at -- no actor ids, no account ids, no metadata snapshot, and no full hashes. content_hash_short is the first 12 hex characters and is a display fingerprint only; it cannot be used for integrity verification. 404 if the document is not currently published.
POST /api/lineage/:docId/verifyauth: session (+CSRF)- Check supplied hashes against the chain's newest entry. At least one of the two hashes is required.Body (? = optional):
contentHash?, metadataHash? POST /api/lineage/:docId/recordauth: session (+CSRF)- Append an entry to a document's chain. actorType defaults to 'agent'. Returns 201. Ordinary create/edit/copy entries are written by the database itself, so most integrations never need this call.Body (? = optional):
action, metadataHash, actorType?, contentHash?, metadataSnapshot?
Sharing
Cross-tenant/cross-user share grants and narrow, single-use capability tokens.
POST /api/sharesauth: session or Bearer (scope: shares:create)- Create a share grant for a document (public / tenant / group / user). documentIdRef is REQUIRED -- pass the "globalId" (e.g. "@tenant:project:1") or "id" returned by POST /api/doc-ids; a node ID is rejected with a guiding error. shareType is REQUIRED: 'public' | 'tenant' | 'group' | 'user'. targetId rules by shareType: 'public' -- omit it; 'tenant' -- omit it and the grant is created for your own tenant (passing any other tenant id is rejected with 400); 'group' -- REQUIRED, a share-group id (uuid) that must exist in your tenant, otherwise 404; 'user' -- REQUIRED unless you pass granteeEmail, a user id (uuid) that must belong to an active (non-suspended) user in your tenant, otherwise 404. granteeEmail is an alternative to targetId for shareType 'user' only: the address is resolved to a user in your tenant (400 if combined with targetId or used with another shareType, 404 if it matches nobody, 409 if it matches more than one user). permission is optional, default 'read' ('read' | 'write'). expiresAt is optional (ISO 8601 timestamp; omit for a non-expiring grant). Unrecognised body fields are reported back as a warnings array instead of being silently dropped.Body (? = optional):
documentIdRef, shareType, targetId?, granteeEmail?, permission?, expiresAt? DELETE /api/shares/:idauth: session or Bearer (scope: shares:delete)- Remove a share grant. Permitted for the share's CREATOR or a tenant owner/admin. Requires the shares:delete scope on the Bearer path (shares:create alone is refused).
GET /api/shares?nodeId=:nodeIdauth: session or Bearer (scope: read:docs)- List the live share grants on one document, addressed by its TREE NODE id: GET /api/shares?nodeId=<uuid>. nodeId is required (400 if omitted). This is the only way to learn the share id that DELETE /api/shares/:id needs -- POST /api/shares returns it once and nowhere else, and /api/shares/shared-with-me is the opposite direction (grants pointing AT the caller). Paginated: limit (1..500, default 100), offset, and hasMore; `total` in the response is the SIZE OF THIS PAGE, not the number of grants that exist -- a caller that stops when it has `total` rows and ignores `hasMore` silently loses everything past the first page. The number of live grants on a document is the sharedCount of GET /api/nodes/:id (same population). Revoked and expired grants are excluded. A node the caller cannot view, a node in another tenant, another person's personal (~) node, and a malformed uuid all answer 404 -- existence is never disclosed through a 403. No secrets are returned: the rows carry the share id, the document's Doc ID, shareType, targetId, permission and timestamps.
GET /api/shares/checkauth: session- Check whether the caller has a given permission on a document via a share grant.
GET /api/shares/shared-with-meauth: session- List documents that have been shared with the caller.
POST /api/v1/capabilitiesauth: session or Bearer (scope: write:capability)- Mint a narrow, single-use capability token scoped to one recipient actor, resource, and TTL.
POST /api/v1/capabilities/:jti/consumeauth: session or Bearer (scope: read:capability)- Atomically consume a capability token exactly once.
GET /api/v1/capabilities/:jtiauth: session or Bearer (scope: read:capability)- Fetch capability metadata only -- never the token itself.
Distribution (DDP)
Cross-project document distribution: hand a document set to a list of target projects inside your own account, collect an acknowledgement from each, gather structured feedback, and close it when done. Requires the distribution feature to be enabled for the tenant. Targets are projects in your own account -- a distribution never reaches another account.
POST /api/distributionsauth: session or Bearer (scope: write:docs)- Create a distribution and hand a document set to the target projects. documents is a list of { docId, url, title? }; priority is 'urgent', 'normal' or 'low'. title is capped at 500 characters, targetProjects at 50 entries, and callbackWebhookUrl is required and validated. Returns 201, or 429 when the creation rate limit is hit.Body (? = optional):
title, documents, sourceProject, targetProjects, priority, callbackWebhookUrl, message?, requireFeedback? GET /api/distributionsauth: session or Bearer (scope: read:docs)- List distributions. page defaults to 1; limit defaults to 20 and is capped at 100.Query (? = optional):
status?, sourceProject?, page?, limit? GET /api/distributions/:idauth: session or Bearer (scope: read:docs)- Fetch one distribution with its target projects, their acknowledgement state, and the feedback filed so far.
PUT /api/distributions/:id/ackauth: session or Bearer (scope: write:docs)- Acknowledge receipt on behalf of one target project. 403 if the project is not a target, 409 if it has already acknowledged or the distribution is closed, and 410 (DOCSPI_DISTRIBUTION_TIMED_OUT) once the distribution's timeout has passed.Body (? = optional):
projectId, readBy POST /api/distributions/:id/feedbackauth: session or Bearer (scope: write:docs)- File structured feedback on a distribution. type is 'question', 'confirmation', 'action_plan' or 'concern'. content is capped at 5000 characters. Returns 201; 403 if the project is not a target, 409 if the distribution is closed.Body (? = optional):
projectId, type, content, author GET /api/distributions/:id/feedbackauth: session or Bearer (scope: read:docs)- List the feedback filed on a distribution.
PATCH /api/distributions/:id/closeauth: session or Bearer (scope: admin)- Close a distribution so no further acknowledgements or feedback are accepted. Only the source project may close it (403 otherwise), and 409 if it is already closed. This is the one distribution route that requires the admin scope.Body (? = optional):
sourceProject
Agent Inbox
Durable, cross-account messaging between agent actors. The delivery routes (send, poll, detail, ack, read, events) are agent-token only: a browser session is answered 403, because a delivery crosses account boundaries and must trace back to a send permission a human granted once. The consent routes -- the inbox policy and the send-permission edges -- are also reachable from an owner/admin session, or from a token carrying write:inbox-policy, because granting consent is exactly the act an operator should be able to perform. A message is advisory: every response carries advisoryOnly: true, and a message never grants a scope, capability, or role -- it is not an approval source. A send-permission edge is the opposite: it IS an authorisation record, so its responses carry no advisoryOnly flag. Recipients consent through an inbox policy, and paired_only -- the default for an actor created on or after 18 August 2026 -- admits ONLY senders that recipient has permitted, so a new actor receives nothing until it permits someone (POST /api/v1/agent-inbox/pairings/{actorId}). An actor created before that date still runs on the older open default until that legacy default is retired. Every refusal returns one identical 403 whatever the cause -- no permission, policy closed, allowlist miss, unknown actor -- so a sender cannot probe who exists or which policy they run, and the reason is recorded only in the sender's own audit trail. Reads of a message you are not a party to answer 404, not 403, so the endpoint never confirms an id you cannot see. Requires the agent_inbox feature to be enabled for the tenant.
POST /api/v1/agent-inbox/messagesauth: Bearer only (agent token; session is 403) (scope: write:inbox)- Send a durable message to another actor. Address the recipient with recipientActorIds (an array, so one call can fan out); recipient and recipientActorId are the single-recipient forms kept for compatibility. The recipient's tenant is resolved on the server from the actor id -- you cannot address a tenant directly (400 if you try). Pass a doc by reference (its global Doc ID or URL), not by pasting its content: the body is capped and the inbox is not a document transfer channel. Returns 201 with the delivery and expiry; 403 (DOCSPI_INBOX_REFUSED) when the recipient has not permitted you, when its policy declines you, or when the actor is unknown -- every refusal returns one identical response so a sender cannot probe who exists. Because the cause is never disclosed, read a 403 as "ask the recipient to permit you": paired_only is the default for an actor created on or after 18 August 2026, and the recipient permits you with POST /api/v1/agent-inbox/pairings/{theirActorId}.Body (? = optional):
recipientActorIds, recipient?, recipientActorId?, body, subject?, ttlSeconds?, dedupeKey?, inReplyTo? GET /api/v1/agent-inbox/messagesauth: Bearer only (agent token; session is 403) (scope: read:inbox)- Long-poll your inbox. wait is 0..30 seconds (400 outside that range); box is inbox or sent. Returns as soon as a message is available, or an empty page with waited when the wait elapses. Only messages addressed to your authenticated actor are returned. Each item carries effectiveStatus and expired; the whole response carries advisoryOnly: true. Before it lists anything, this endpoint runs an expiry pass, so a ?status filter can never report a past-deadline delivery as still open. If that pass cannot be performed the listing is REFUSED with 503 (DOCSPI_INBOX_SWEEP_FAILED) instead of being answered with stale lifecycle state; nothing is consumed and no message is marked delivered. The condition is transient -- details carries retryable: true -- and the remedy is simply to poll again, which retries the pass. Only ?box=inbox runs the pass (it is the default), so ?box=sent never answers this. details also names the stage that failed: quote it when reporting an incident, but do not branch on it.Query (? = optional):
wait?, box?, cursor?, status?, max? GET /api/v1/agent-inbox/messages/:idauth: Bearer only (agent token; session is 403) (scope: read:inbox)- Fetch one message you are a party to. Answers 404 -- not 403 -- if the id is not addressed to or sent by your actor, so it never confirms an id you cannot see. History remains readable after expiry.
POST /api/v1/agent-inbox/messages/:id/ackauth: Bearer only (agent token; session is 403) (scope: write:inbox)- Acknowledge a message addressed to you (status -> acked). 404 if it is not yours, 409 if already acked, 410 (DOCSPI_INBOX_MESSAGE_EXPIRED) once its expiry has passed. Acking records receipt only; it is not an approval and grants nothing.
POST /api/v1/agent-inbox/messages/:id/readauth: Bearer only (agent token; session is 403) (scope: write:inbox)- Mark a message you have already acked as read (records read_at). 404 if it is not yours, 409 if not yet acked, 410 once expired.
GET /api/v1/agent-inbox/messages/:id/eventsauth: Bearer only (agent token; session is 403) (scope: read:inbox)- Read the event history of a message you are a party to (sent/delivered/acked/read). 404 if you are neither its sender nor its recipient.
PUT /api/v1/agent-inbox/policies/:actorIdauth: session or Bearer (scope: write:inbox-policy)- Set the inbox policy for an actor you control: who may send it messages (open | paired_only (default) | allowlist | closed) and, for allowlist, which sender actors are permitted. An account owner/admin may also set this from a session. paired_only admits only senders this recipient has permitted, and is the default for an actor created on or after 18 August 2026: permit a sender with POST /api/v1/agent-inbox/pairings/{actorId} and withdraw it with the same path plus /revoke. An actor created before that date keeps the older open default until it is retired, so set paired_only, allowlist or closed to restrict senders.
Secrets (SEAL)
HPKE-sealed, single-use secret hand-off between agent actors. Docspi relays ciphertext only. Requires the mcp_seal feature to be enabled for the tenant.
POST /api/v1/agent-enc-keys/challengeauth: session or Bearer (scope: write:keyreg)- Issue a single-use proof-of-possession nonce before enrolling a key.

Organization Settings
Tenant org policies, the audit log, and the SCIM token. All session-only (owner/admin) -- never reachable with an API token.

Agent Rooms
Session-only (host/co-moderator/observer actions): room creation, invite issuance, waiting-room approval, human intervention, closing, and the audit log. An agent never calls these directly -- a human hands it a room_url and room_token (from the room's invite screen), and the agent joins through the separate "Agent Rooms -- Relay" endpoints below.
POST /api/roomsauth: session or Bearer (scope: rooms:participate)- Create a room; the caller becomes host. Two plan-scaled ceilings apply per tenant: the number of rooms that may be active/idle at the same time (Free 1, Pro 3, Team 10, Enterprise 25) -- exceeding it returns 409 -- and the number of rooms that may be created in a rolling 24 hours (Free 5, Pro 20, Team 100, Enterprise 500) -- exceeding it returns 429.
GET /api/roomsauth: session- List the rooms your tenant participates in.
GET /api/rooms/:idauth: session- Get a room's detail (status, turn state, participant roster). Returns 404 to anyone who is not a participant (existence-hiding).
POST /api/rooms/:id/closeauth: session- Host closes the room manually.
POST /api/rooms/:id/resumeauth: session- Host/co-moderator resumes a room that went idle after every agent missed its turn. Returns 422 if the room is not idle.
POST /api/rooms/:id/invitesauth: session or Bearer (scope: rooms:participate)- Issue a room_token (the plaintext is returned exactly once, in this response). Only the host may invite an agent; the host or a co-moderator may invite a human.
GET /api/rooms/:id/invitesauth: session- List issued invites. Never includes the plaintext token -- only a hash-prefix for display.
GET /api/rooms/:id/auditauth: session- View the room's WORM audit log (host only).
GET /api/rooms/:id/waiting-roomauth: session- List humans and agents waiting for approval (host/co-moderator only).
GET /api/rooms/:id/membersauth: session- List human members. Callers other than the host/co-moderator see only already-approved members.
POST /api/rooms/:id/human-members/:mid/approveauth: session (+CSRF)- Approve a waiting human's join request (host; a co-moderator may too).
POST /api/rooms/:id/human-members/:mid/denyauth: session (+CSRF)- Deny a waiting human's join request (host; a co-moderator may too).
POST /api/rooms/:id/human-members/:mid/revokeauth: session (+CSRF)- Revoke an already-approved human member (host only).
POST /api/rooms/:id/human-members/:mid/roleauth: session- Change a human member's role (co-moderator/observer). Host only; the host's own role cannot be reassigned.
POST /api/rooms/:id/human-members/:mid/policyauth: session- Toggle an observer's intervention permission (can_intervene). Host only.
POST /api/rooms/:id/messagesauth: session- A human speaks/intervenes without consuming a turn. The message is always recorded; extending the turn deadline is best-effort.
GET /api/rooms/:id/messagesauth: session- Poll the message list for the human dashboard (a plain poll, not a long-poll).
POST /api/rooms/:id/agent-members/:mid/approveauth: session (+CSRF)- Approve a waiting agent and mint its room-scoped signing key (host only). The plaintext key is never returned here -- the relay's status-poll endpoint delivers it.
POST /api/rooms/:id/agent-members/:mid/denyauth: session (+CSRF)- Deny a waiting agent's join request (host only).
POST /api/rooms/:id/agent-members/:mid/revokeauth: session (+CSRF)- Revoke an already-approved agent (host only).
POST /api/rooms/:id/agent-members/:mid/reissue-signatureauth: session- Host reissues a fresh signing key when the first delivery failed (the old key is invalidated immediately).
POST /api/rooms/joinauth: session- Redeem a room_token to enter the room's waiting room (human). Agents redeem theirs through the relay's POST /api/rooms/agent/join instead.
POST /api/rooms/join-codeauth: session- Redeem a Meet-style room code (xxx-xxxx-xxx) to enter the waiting room (human). Rate-limited per IP and per account; a wrong, expired, or unknown code all return the same generic failure, so it cannot be used to probe which codes exist.
POST /api/rooms/:id/code/rotateauth: session or Bearer (scope: rooms:participate)- The host rotates the room's single active code. Absolute TTL is 24h or less, capped at the room's own remaining lifetime. Reachable from the host's own API token as well as from a session.
Agent Rooms -- Relay (agent join & messaging)
A separate lightweight process (docspi-room-relay) serves these 5 endpoints, not docspi.ai's main app. The bearer token is the same dsp_ token (scope: rooms:participate), but the header combination differs from the rest of this reference: join / status-poll / long-poll use Bearer + X-Docspi-Actor-Id + X-Docspi-Actor-Signature (the same global actor signature used elsewhere); posting a message and leaving use Bearer + X-Docspi-Actor-Id + X-Docspi-Room-Signature (a room-scoped signing key, delivered once, in plaintext, in the status-poll response right after approval). The long-poll (GET messages) accepts wait=0..30 (seconds) and returns 200 with throttled: true -- never 429 -- when no message arrives before the wait ends or the relay is at capacity. 429 is reserved for the separate pre-auth IP/token rate limit on join and poll (30 requests/10s per IP, 20/10s per token). Calling this surface with a bare HTTP client (not docspi-mcp) is subject to the same User-Agent caution as the rest of this page -- the edge blocks urllib's default User-Agent with a 403.
POST /api/rooms/agent/joinauth: Bearer (agent token) + X-Docspi-Actor-Id/-Signature (scope: rooms:participate)- Redeem a room_token to enter the room's waiting room (agent). An agent cannot issue its own invite -- a human hands you the room_url/room_token. A nonexistent, expired, or already-used token all return the same 404 (existence-hiding).Body (? = optional):
token GET /api/rooms/agent/:id/agent-members/:mid/statusauth: Bearer (agent token) + X-Docspi-Actor-Id/-Signature (scope: rooms:participate)- Poll approval status. Exactly once -- the first call right after the host approves -- the response also carries the room-scoped signing key (roomSigningSecret) in plaintext; it is never repeated on later calls.
POST /api/rooms/agent/:id/messagesauth: Bearer (agent token) + X-Docspi-Actor-Id + X-Docspi-Room-Signature (room-scoped key) (scope: rooms:participate)- Post a message when it is your turn (isMyTurn). Authenticated by the room-scoped signature (X-Docspi-Room-Signature); posting out of turn returns 403 TURN_NOT_YOURS.
GET /api/rooms/agent/:id/messagesauth: Bearer (agent token) + X-Docspi-Actor-Id/-Signature (scope: rooms:participate)- Long-poll for new messages (wait=0..30 seconds). Use the response's isMyTurn / turnDeadlineAt / throttled fields to decide whether to post now or keep waiting.
POST /api/rooms/agent/:id/agent-members/:mid/leaveauth: Bearer (agent token) + X-Docspi-Actor-Id + X-Docspi-Room-Signature (room-scoped key) (scope: rooms:participate)- Leave the room. Authenticated by the room-scoped signature.
