Use it when nobody is watching: if the user is in this session, ask them there instead. The person decides away from this session, so put what you will do, why, what it touches and whether it can be undone in details, required when risk is high. Returns status approved, denied, modified (decision is the chosen option), needs_context or expired, with an optional comment. On needs_context: read comment, then open a new request with fuller details; do not repeat this one.

Scope: approvals.
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
request_id | string | required | Request id, req_…. |
channel_add
Adds a channel where people receive requests. Email: {kind: "email", address, label} sends a verification link. Telegram: {kind: "telegram", label} returns a t.me link the person opens to link the chat. A verified channel becomes active only after the owner approves it.

channel_list
Lists the channels of the project, owner first, with status and a masked address. Pass the id of active channels as approvers to choose who is asked.

Scope: approvals.
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
channel_id | string | required | Channel id, chn_…. |
policy_get
Returns the approval policy of the project: its rules and version. Version 0 means no policy, so every request goes to a person. Effects: allow, deny (refused at once), require_approval (a person decides), auto_approve (approved at once), auto_approve_notify (approved at once, then a notice without buttons). Who is asked or told: the rule's active approvers, or the owner channel if none is active; for a rule without approvers, the request's approvers, else every active channel.
Scope: approvals.
No parameters.
policy_set
Proposes a new approval policy ({rules: [...]}). It applies only after a person approves it on the project channels, so this waits like ask_approval and returns that request; policy_get shows the new version once approved. On needs_context the policy is not applied: read comment, then propose a revised policy that answers it; do not repeat the same one, and explain in note what you changed and why. The person sees the rules as JSON, after your note, so descriptive rule ids help. Effects: allow, deny (refused at once), require_approval (a person decides), auto_approve (approved at once), auto_approve_notify (approved at once, then a notice without buttons). Who is asked or told: the rule's active approvers, or the owner channel if none is active; for a rule without approvers, the request's approvers, else every active channel.
Scope: approvals.
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
policy | any | required | |
note | string | optional | Optional, up to 500 characters, shown to the person before the rules: what the policy changes and why. After needs_context, what you changed to answer the comment. |
wait_seconds | integer | default 45 |
kv_set
Saves any JSON value under key in the project disk, shared by every agent and platform with a disk key. Saving an existing key replaces its value. ttl_seconds (1 s to 365 days) makes the key expire; without it the key lives until kv_delete. Values up to 256 KB; a project holds up to 10,000 keys and 1 GB (QUOTA_EXCEEDED). Keys under state/ belong to state_save. Returns {key, size_bytes, expires_at}.
Scope: disk.
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
key | string | required | The key: 1 to 512 bytes of UTF-8, no control characters. Use / to group keys, e.g. orders/1042. |
value | any | optional | Any JSON value, up to 256 KB once serialised. kv_get returns it as saved. |
ttl_seconds | integer | optional | Optional: the key expires after this many seconds (1 to 31536000, one year). Without it the key lives until kv_delete. |
kv_get
Reads key from the project disk: {key, value, expires_at, updated_at} with value exactly as saved, or null if the key does not exist or has expired. It also reads task state under state/, but state_load is simpler for that.
Scope: disk.
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
key | string | required | The key: 1 to 512 bytes of UTF-8, no control characters. Use / to group keys, e.g. orders/1042. |
kv_list
Lists the keys of the project disk that start with prefix, in byte order, without values: {items: [{key, size_bytes, expires_at, updated_at}], next_cursor}. Expired keys are left out. Pass next_cursor back as cursor for the next page; limit 1 to 100, default 20.
Scope: disk.
| Parameter | Type | Description | |

cursor | string | optional | next_cursor of the previous page, unchanged. |
limit | integer | default 20 |
kv_delete
Deletes key from the project disk: {deleted: true} if it existed, {deleted: false} if it was absent or already expired. It also works on state/{task_id}, to drop the saved state of a task.
Scope: disk.
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
key | string | required | The key: 1 to 512 bytes of UTF-8, no control characters. Use / to group keys, e.g. orders/1042. |
state_save
Saves where a task stands, so that this or another session on any platform can resume it with state_load. Call it before stopping on a pending approval and at the end of a session with work left. state is any JSON (what is done, what comes next, IDs such as request_id), up to 256 KB; note is a one-line summary of up to 500 characters. It replaces the previous state of task_id and never expires. Returns {task_id, key, saved_at}.
Scope: disk.
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
task_id | string | required | Your ID for the task, e.g. refund-1042: the state lives at key state/{task_id} (512 bytes at most). |
state | any | optional | Any JSON: what is done, what comes next and the IDs you need to resume (e.g. request_id). Up to 256 KB once saved. |
note | string | optional | Optional, up to 500 characters: a one-line summary for whoever resumes the task. |
state_load
Loads the last state saved with state_save for task_id: {task_id, state, note, saved_at}, or null if none was saved or it was deleted. Call it when you resume a task, e.g. after its request.resolved event arrives in the inbox.
Scope: disk.
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
task_id | string | required | Your ID for the task, e.g. refund-1042: the state lives at key state/{task_id} (512 bytes at most). |
file_put
Saves a file in the project disk at path, shared by every agent and platform with a disk key. Pass exactly one of: content_base64 (standard base64, up to 1 MB decoded) with an optional content_type; or upload: {size, content_type} for files up to 100 MB, which answers {status: uploading, upload_id, upload_url, upload_headers, expires_at}: PUT the bytes to upload_url with exactly upload_headers within 15 minutes, then call again with complete: upload_id (UPLOAD_INCOMPLETE while the object is missing or of another size). At most 3 open uploads per path (UPLOAD_LIMIT): complete one or let it expire. An upload whose path was written or deleted meanwhile is dropped: complete answers NOT_FOUND. Saving a path replaces the file and revokes its links; until then the old file stays readable. Paths starting with evt_ are reserved (PATH_RESERVED); 1 GB per project (QUOTA_EXCEEDED). Returns {path, ref, size_bytes, content_type, updated_at}; ref (disk://…) also works as path.
Scope: disk.
| Parameter | Type | Description | |

content_type | string | optional | MIME type of content_base64, e.g. application/pdf. Default application/octet-stream. |
upload | object | optional | Starts a presigned upload, for files over 1 MB: the answer carries upload_url and upload_headers. |
complete | string | optional | The upload_id of a presigned upload whose PUT is done: the file is saved. |
file_get
Reads a file of the project disk by path or disk:// reference, or an inbound email attachment as evt_…/name (the names listed in the event). Up to 1 MB it answers {path, ref, size_bytes, content_type, updated_at, content_base64}; above, download_url and expires_at take the place of content_base64: a link valid 5 minutes that works without a key, each download counted toward the project's 5 GB a month. A missing file answers NOT_FOUND.
Scope: disk.
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
path | string | required | The file path, e.g. reports/2026-09.pdf, or its disk:// reference. Paths starting with evt_ are inbound attachments. |
file_list
Lists the files of the project disk whose path starts with prefix, in byte order, without content: {items: [{path, ref, size_bytes, content_type, updated_at}], next_cursor}. Pass next_cursor back as cursor for the next page; limit 1 to 100, default 20.

file_url
Creates a public download link for a file of the project disk (by path or disk:// reference) or for an inbound email attachment (evt_…/name). expires_in is in seconds, 60 to 604800 (7 days), default 3600. The project policy decides (tool file_url, risk medium): deny answers POLICY_DENIED; require_approval asks a person and waits up to wait_seconds (0 to 120, default 45). With a link it returns {url, expires_at, link_id}, otherwise {status, request_id, comment}. While pending, call again with the same path and expires_in and approval set to request_id: it answers pending until the person decides, then gives the link, one per approval, with the same key, within 24 hours of the decision. Anyone holding the URL can download the file until it expires, without a key. Replacing or deleting the file, or revoking the key that asked, revokes the link. Each download counts toward the project's 5 GB a month.

Replies reach the inbox as email.received with reply_to set to the message_id, unless reply_to_inbox is false. The project policy decides (tool email_send, risk medium, the recipients' domains): deny answers POLICY_DENIED; require_approval asks a person and waits up to wait_seconds (0 to 120, default 45), and once approved the messages go out on their own. Returns {status, batch_id, request_id, messages} with status queued, pending (the person has not decided) or cancelled (refused or expired). Limits: 50 emails a day, 1,000 a month.
