# Get the client's registered agentic policy (ALPHA)

> > **Alpha** — early access.

Returns the `client_policy` registered for this client — the vocabulary and payout constraints every drafting turn uses when the proposals request body does not carry its own.

A client may read its OWN policy; reading another client's is a 403. No registration is a 404 — which is not an error condition but the default: with no registration and no body policy the agent drafts on platform defaults, exactly as it did before registration existed.




## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi.yaml get /clients/{client_id}/agentic-policy
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: Dakota Platform API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    Combined API specification for Dakota Platform services:

    - Issuance API: Asset minting and burning operations

    - Onboarding API: Know Your Business/Customer verification

    - On/Off Ramp API: Managing on-ramp and off-ramp accounts

    - Recipients API: Managing destinations for KYB'd entities

    - Transactions API: Viewing transaction history across platform operations


    ## Authentication and API Headers


    All API endpoints require the following headers:


    - `x-idempotency-key`: Required for all POST endpoints to ensure request
    idempotency

    - `x-api-key`: Required for authentication across all endpoints


    Note: On /applications endpoints you need a token for authentication instead
    of a x-api-key

    - `x-application-token`: Required for authentication on public /applications
    endpoints (alternative to `x-api-key` where documented)



    ## Rate Limits


    Requests are rate limited per API key. Every response includes the following
    headers:


    | Header | Description |

    | --- | --- |

    | `X-RateLimit-Limit` | Maximum requests allowed in the current one-minute
    window. |

    | `X-RateLimit-Remaining` | Requests remaining in the current window. |

    | `X-RateLimit-Reset` | Absolute Unix timestamp (seconds since epoch) when
    the current rate-limit window resets. |


    When a request is throttled (`429`), responses also include `Retry-After`
    with seconds to wait before retrying.

      type: object
      description: >
        ALPHA — how THIS client's product speaks, and what the agent may propose
        for it. It reshapes what the drafting model SEES (tool results, tool
        descriptions, prompt sections) and constrains what it may PROPOSE, so
        the agent narrates in the client's own nouns instead of platform ones.


        SCOPE: this is a per-CLIENT policy — it belongs to the `client_id`
        behind the API key, never to a key (api keys are N:1 to clients, so a
        per-key policy would fragment for a client running one service key per
        deployment). REGISTER IT ONCE at `PUT
        /clients/{client_id}/agentic-policy`.


        DELIVERY: sent in a `POST .../proposals` body this object is a
        DEVELOPMENT OVERRIDE — it wins for that one turn and the server logs
        that it did. Prefer the registration: forgetting to send the body copy
        fails SILENTLY, and the agent simply starts narrating in platform's
        nouns again with no error anywhere. Resolution per request is: a
        non-empty body policy, else this client's registration, else nothing at
        all.


        STRICT: an unknown key, an unknown value, or a label for a concept the
        server does not implement is a 400 — "accepted" always means "enforced".
        Absent (or every field empty) ⇒ platform defaults, byte-for-byte the
        behaviour of a request that never mentioned it.

            name plus one way of being paid — each with `payee_ref` (the id to
            pass straight through wherever a payout method is referenced),
            `entity_ref` (the person behind the entry; several entries can share
            one, and it is what binds a new payout method to an existing person
            instead of duplicating them), `name`, and `paid_by` (a rendered
            human phrase such as `bank account at Chase ****4321` or
            `base-sepolia 0x1234…cdef`). A payout method never pins an asset, so
            `paid_by` never names one.

            The assets a PAYEE may receive — what a conversion may output, and
            what a direct payment may send. Absent or empty means unrestricted,
            which is the platform default.


            State it when your product's FUNDING asset is not something a payee
            is ever paid in. Platform's asset registry only knows which assets
            settle on which chain, so it cannot tell that your funding
            stablecoin is a category error as a payout — it will happily draft
            one if a customer names it, and because that route needs no
            conversion account it also creates a duplicate payee for someone
            already saved. Declaring the allowlist turns both into a refusal the
            model sees before the customer does.


            Case-insensitive and de-duplicated; the order you send is the order
            quoted back to the customer.
          example:
            - USDC
            - USDT

          additionalProperties:
            type: string
          description: >
            Platform concept → the noun THIS client's customers use for it. The
            noun replaces the platform word in the tool results the agent reads
            AND in what it writes to the customer. Implemented concepts: `limit`
            (the spending limit; platform calls it a mandate), `payee` (the
            person being paid), and `limit_unit` (the UNIT the limit's amounts
            are quoted in, e.g. `USD`). Any other key is a 400 — a label for a
            concept the server does not implement would be accepted and then
            ignored.


            `limit` and `payee` are nouns and must match `^[a-z][a-z0-9
            _-]{0,30}$`. `limit_unit` is a unit code and must match
            `^[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9]{0,9}$`, so it may be uppercase. Never a
            phrase, never a sentence.


            `limit_unit` matters most under a `payout_route` that forces a
            conversion account: the limit governs the DEPOSIT leg, so its own
            asset is the funding asset the customer has never heard of. With the
            unit set the agent quotes the caps and remaining budget in it ("your
            spending limit is 10 USD per month, 0.98 left") instead of reaching
            for the funding asset.


            Labelling `payee` also renames the flat view's keys: the container
            becomes the label plus `s` and each entry's ref becomes the label
            plus `_ref` — so `{"payee": "recipient"}` yields `recipients[]` with
            `recipient_ref`. `entity_ref` is NOT renamed; it is an opaque handle
            to the person behind the entry, not the labelled concept. The plural
            is a literal `+s` (the charset restricts labels to simple lowercase
            nouns), so an irregular noun gets an odd but harmless plural.
          example:
            limit: spending limit
            limit_unit: USD
            payee: recipient
        mandate_strategy:
          type: string
          enum:
            - ''
            - external_only
          description: >
            `external_only`: spending limits live entirely OUTSIDE this
            conversation — the client creates and amends them in its own limit
            editor through the customer-signed amend API. The agent never drafts
            one; a drafted payment must fit an existing active limit's remaining
            budget, and when nothing covers it the agent says so and points the
            customer at the app instead of proposing a limit. Absent ⇒ the agent
            drafts limits as usual.
          example: external_only
        payout_route:
          type: string
          enum:
            - ''
            - conversion_account_only
            - bank_only
          description: >
            Restricts how the money may leave. `conversion_account_only`: every
            scheduled payment must fund a conversion account — no direct
            wallet-to-address send. `bank_only`: on top of that the payout must
            land in a bank account — an outbound bank rail is required and no
            crypto payout method may be created. Absent ⇒ any supported route.


            Either value also makes the FUNDING leg system-chosen, which changes
            two things. The payment has two legs and the customer only names
            one: what they ask for is what ARRIVES (the conversion's output),
            while what LEAVES the wallet is the conversion deposit. The spending
            limit governs the DEPOSIT leg, so (a) the asset or chain the
            customer names can never put a payment outside the limit — coverage
            is judged on the per-payment cap and the remaining budget alone —
            and (b) the deposit's asset and network move out of the limit's
            `rule` into a `funding_leg_internal` block in the `active_mandates`
            result, which the agent copies into the conversion account and never
            says out loud. Pair this with `labels.limit_unit` so the agent has a
            unit to quote the limit in.
