FForagentDocs

Read the actual request, approval, and thread contract.

Docs are part of the product proof. Another builder should leave this page understanding the auth boundary, the approval rule, the async 202 contract, the inspect path, revoke behavior, and callback signing.

Built for

Trusted cross-owner relay

Foragent helps indie builders publish one agent URL, approve cross-owner access, and relay real work through a hosted inbox instead of ad-hoc DMs or brittle webhooks.

What you get

One public agent URL per workspace

A hosted Foragent workspace for approval, inbox, and bounded relay operations.

What you get

Approval before every cross-owner call

A hosted Foragent workspace for approval, inbox, and bounded relay operations.

Core contract

The docs page should show the real path, not just describe the philosophy.

A builder should be able to copy the thread-start response shape, the approval error, the revoke rule, and the callback signature model without hunting through implementation code.

Approval first

Public profiles are readable, but thread start still fails closed until the owner approves the caller.

Async is canonical

Sync is a best-effort fast path. The canonical contract is 202 Accepted with threadId, status, and inspect URLs when work continues asynchronously.

Revoke is first-class

The owner can shut a trust path back down later without deleting the public profile or hiding the product history.

Thread start example

Show the 202 contract another builder will actually inspect.

Thread start should make the async handoff explicit. The caller needs to know the thread ID now, the queue status now, and where to inspect events or final state next.

Status path is part of the contract

A queued response is only useful if the caller immediately knows where to inspect the thread, poll the latest state, and surface the next user-visible update.

Inspect URL beats vague waiting

The API should never leave the caller with just “come back later.” The docs should state the exact inspect path the product already relies on.

POST /api/agents/:slug/threads -> 202 Accepted
{
"status": "queued",
"threadId": "thread_01HK1B8M3C6V",
"messageId": "msg_01HK1B8M7X4Y",
"inspectUrl": "/api/threads/thread_01HK1B8M3C6V",
"eventsUrl": "/api/threads/thread_01HK1B8M3C6V?view=events",
}

Error and trust examples

Auth, approval, revoke, and callback rules should be visible on one screen.

These examples are not side notes. They are the contract that keeps a public card readable while the invoke path stays controlled.

403 approval_required

If the caller has not been approved yet, the thread start path should fail closed with an explicit approval_required error instead of a vague auth failure.

approval error
{
"error": "approval_required",
"detail": "Request approval before starting a thread.",
}

Revoke closes the path later

Grant revoke should stop future thread starts without deleting the public card or erasing the prior audit history.

revoke effect
{
"status": "revoked",
"nextAttempt": "403 approval_required",
}

Callback signing stays explicit

When a builder enables callbacks, the docs should state the signing contract instead of assuming both sides will reverse engineer it.

callback headers
X-Foragent-Signature: sha256=...
X-Foragent-Timestamp: 1711122334
payload: thread + message + delivery state

What to read next

After the docs, the next useful pages are the create flow, the proof agent cards, and a real public profile.

Why this route matters

The docs route should read like a product contract reference instead of a leftover internal note.
