PLANNING CONTRACT · NOT CALLABLE

This page describes intended capability and integration boundaries so people and agents can prepare safely. Do not send this request or register it as an executable tool. Wait until the capability registry marks it implemented-contract, then re-fetch the deployed OpenAPI document and build the request from that machine contract.

PURPOSE + BUSINESS CONTEXT

Planned capability: list governance authorities and their active policy boundaries.

WHEN THIS CALL IS USEFUL

Do not call or register this operation as an executable agent tool yet. Use this page to plan the future authorities workflow; enable it only after the status becomes implemented-contract and the exact operation appears in deployed OpenAPI.

OUTCOME · Planned · Discover

What changes

None today: this route is not executable. Its intended behavior is: read-only projection; it grants no mutation, settlement, traffic, or authority change.

WHY IT MATTERS

Lets people and agents prepare for authorities without falsely presenting roadmap scope as a live capability.
Gives people and agents a contract-backed way to discover authorities.
Keeps deliberation, approval evidence, authority assignment, and threshold-signing participation explicit and auditable.

ISOLATION + AUTHORITY

Tenant, workspace, proposal, voter, authority assignment, quorum, custody participant, and signing-session boundaries remain separate. A proposal, recorded decision, assigned role, or ceremony request does not by itself activate a contract, produce a threshold signature, move value, or grant publisher, matching, or trading authority. This planning record grants no runtime authority, and only deployed OpenAPI can define an executable public contract.

BEFORE YOU CALL

First confirm that this operation is marked implemented-contract and exists in the currently deployed OpenAPI document; until then, no production request is valid.
Its capability-registry profile is provisional integration guidance, not an executable request schema.
Authenticate at the documented boundary: bearer+scope.
Treat the capability-registry profile as design guidance only; deployed OpenAPI must define the executable request and response shapes.
Resolve the current proposal or assignment version, eligible authority, quorum rule, and purpose-bound policy before relying on this result.

WHAT TO DO NEXT

Keep this operation disabled in clients, agents, SDKs, and workflow automation while it remains planned-contract.
Use the stated owner, lifecycle, authority boundary, and provisional authorities profile to prepare requirements and conformance tests without sending a request.
Monitor the capability registry for implemented-contract, then re-fetch deployed OpenAPI and validate its exact security, parameters, schemas, responses, and agent metadata before enabling the integration.

AGENT GUIDANCE

Never call this planned contract, include it in an executable tool registry, or infer runtime availability from this readable page.
Its capability-registry profile is provisional integration guidance, not an executable request schema.
Use authorities only for the purpose and lifecycle stage described by this operation; do not treat it as authority for an adjacent action.
Treat the capability-registry profile as design guidance only; deployed OpenAPI must define the executable request and response shapes.
Keep proposal creation, review, decision recording, quorum satisfaction, authority assignment, ceremony request, participant signing, execution, and finality as separate lifecycle facts.
Use response links and canonical identifiers instead of constructing internal service URLs or scraping the website.
When implementation lands, discard generated requests based on this planning record and rebuild them from the deployed OpenAPI operation.

MACHINE CONTRACT

This operation is a non-executable planning contract. Its capability-registry record defines the intended owner, parameters, responses, and integration boundary until an implemented Rust OpenAPI operation replaces it.

EXTENDED INTEGRATION GUIDANCE

Readable request and response reference

Examples describe the reviewed planning contract and remain non-executable until promoted into OpenAPI.

INTEGRATION DECISION

CALLER ACTION: Do not send this request or register it as an executable agent tool. Use the implemented alternatives linked by the module guide.
RETRY SAFETY: Do not retry on a timer. Re-fetch production OpenAPI and proceed only after this exact operation appears there.
STATE RECONCILIATION: No runtime state exists to reconcile for this planning contract. Continue from workspace governance proposals, approvals, signing handoffs, policy versions, and execution evidence through an implemented operation.
ESCALATE WHEN: Escalate when signer eligibility, threshold evidence, proposal version, or downstream execution state remains inconsistent after a fresh governance read.

OPERATIONAL NOTES

Security and lifecycle guarantees

The Rust gateway validates the public contract and routes only to the authoritative owner; clients never address internal services directly.

DOCUMENTATION STATUS

This planned contract now defines its public parameters, authorization boundary, replay behavior, responses, and authoritative owner. It remains non-executable until its owner adapter and conformance tests are promoted into the Rust gateway.
