# Send held deliveries now that there is room in the allowance

> Re-runs the fan-out for held events, oldest first, creating the deliveries each event's destinations still lack and charging them to the allowance. Stops at the first event it cannot fully cover (that event keeps a hold for what is left). A hold whose event has been pruned by retention is dropped. Writes one release_held_deliveries audit row.

    Hookie exposes three HTTP surfaces.


    **Ingest + streaming** is the public plane. A path-form endpoint URL
    authenticates by its own high-entropy slug — there is no key, token or
    cookie — and an `ik_live_…` ingest key authenticates the `/v1/*` routes.
    Whenever the URL names a dataset the payload is stored whole into it;
    project mapping rules are evaluated on exactly one shape, `POST
    /v1/ingest/{ingest_key}` with no dataset segment.


    **The customer portal API** is a separate, token-authed surface for your end
    customers, scoped to one portal and one customer.


    **The admin API** drives the console. It accepts either a browser session or
    an OAuth bearer token from a connected coding agent — the same routes, the
    same validation, the same audit trail. An agent's authority is its user's
    workspace role narrowed to the scopes granted in the console. It also
    accepts an **admin API key** (`hk_…`, Settings → API keys) for CI,
    infrastructure-as-code and vendor backends: the key acts as the member who
    created it, capped at the key's role (viewer, developer or admin — never
    billing or platform administration), optionally limited to one project, with
    an optional expiry and IP allowlist. Keys are stored as a SHA-256 hash and
    shown once; if their creator leaves the workspace they stop working. The
    same key works on the hosted MCP server at `/mcp`.


    **A refused agent is told how to proceed.** An agent's grant is one rung of
    a ladder — `hookie:read` < `hookie:write` < `hookie:manage` — and a call
    above it answers 403 with `code: "agent_scope_insufficient"`, the
    `required_scope`, the `granted_scopes` and a `manage_url` to the console
    page where its user widens it. When the user's own role is the limit the
    code is `insufficient_role` and there is no link, because no grant can
    exceed the user; billing, platform admin, managing connected agents and
    destination signing secrets answer `agent_not_permitted` at every scope. A
    human in the console still reads `Insufficient role`.


    **A suspended workspace** (an operator action, for abuse or non-payment)
    answers every surface with 403 and `reason: "workspace_suspended"`: ingest
    (endpoint URLs and ingest keys), `/v1/data` and `/v1/stream` refuse before
    anything is stored or counted, and every admin API write — console, OAuth
    agent or hosted MCP alike — is refused except billing, platform admin,
    connected-agent management, revoking an API key and the POST-bodied
    searches. The customer portal API is read-only in the same way: destination
    writes answer 403 `workspace_suspended`. Reads keep working. Nothing is sent
    while it is suspended: pending deliveries are paused, workflow runs already
    under way are paused, open `/v1/stream` connections are closed, and cron
    triggers, database sources and WebSocket listeners stop. Reinstating sends
    the paused deliveries, resumes the paused workflow runs where they stopped,
    and resumes the rest; no stored data is lost.


    **Rate limits.** `/admin/api/*` and `/mcp` allow 100 requests every 10
    seconds per credential — per API key, per connected agent, or per signed-in
    person. Over that, the answer is 429 with `Retry-After` (seconds).


    **Idempotency.** A `POST` to `/admin/api/*` may carry an `Idempotency-Key`
    header (1–255 printable characters, e.g. a UUID). The first request runs and
    its response is stored for 24 hours; a retry with the same key from the same
    credential, with the same path and body, gets that response back with
    `Idempotent-Replayed: true` and runs nothing. The same key with a different
    path, body or credential is refused with 422; a retry while the first
    request is still running gets 409. 5xx responses are not stored. `POST
    /admin/api/api-keys` refuses the header, because its response is a secret
    shown once and is never stored.


    **Versioning.** Every `/admin/api/*` and `/mcp` response carries
    `Hookie-Version` (currently `2026-09-29`). Additive changes — a new route, a
    new response field, a new optional parameter — ship under the current
    version, so clients must ignore fields they do not know. A breaking change
    gets a new dated version, announced in the changelog, and the previous
    version stays available for at least 12 months; a client pins one by sending
    `Hookie-Version` on its requests. A version this deployment does not serve
    is refused with 400 and the list of `supported_versions`.

            `workspace_suspended` (403): the workspace is suspended;
            `delivery_allowance_exhausted` (429): a replay was refused because
            the monthly delivery allowance is used. `endpoint_disabled` (503):
            the endpoint is switched off; `handshake_failed`: a provider
            URL-verification challenge could not be answered (#193).
            `missing_header`, `bad_signature`, `stale_timestamp` (401): an
            endpoint's provider signature check failed; `scheme` names the
            check.

            Present on a 403 to an OAuth-connected agent.
            `agent_scope_insufficient`: the agent's grant is below what the call
            needs, and widening it would let the call through (see
            `required_scope` and `manage_url`). `insufficient_role`: the user's
            OWN workspace role does not allow the call, so no grant can — a
            workspace owner or admin has to change the role.
            `agent_not_permitted`: no connected agent may do this at any scope
            (billing, platform admin, managing connected agents, a destination's
            signing secret).
