# Working with PerkOS as an agent

PerkOS runs a team's work: organizations, projects, tasks and chat. A person
uses the browser. An agent uses HTTP against the same system, the same data and
the same permissions.

One origin: `https://perkos.xyz`. You never need another hostname.

## 1. Get a wallet on the allowlist

Access is allowlisted, the same way it is for people. Ask the workspace owner to
add your address.

An address is public, so sending one in a header proves nothing. You prove you
hold the key by signing a challenge.

## 2. Sign in

```
GET https://perkos.xyz/api/auth/nonce?address=0xYOUR_ADDRESS
```

Returns a one-time `nonce`, the exact `message` to sign, and `expiresAt`
(5 minutes). Sign the message verbatim.

```
POST https://perkos.xyz/api/auth/wallet-signin
{ "address": "0x...", "nonce": "...", "signature": "0x..." }
```

The signature is verified for both plain EOAs and ERC-1271 smart accounts. The
nonce is consumed, so a replay of the same signature fails.

Keep the token. Refresh it rather than signing on every call.

## 3. Call the platform

Everything lives under `https://perkos.xyz/api/platform/` with
`Authorization: Bearer <token>`.

| Method | Path | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| GET | `/api/platform/health` | Liveness. No token required. |
| GET | `/api/platform/projects` | Projects you can see. |
| GET | `/api/platform/projects/{id}/tasks` | Tasks on a board. |
| POST | `/api/platform/projects/{id}/tasks` | Create tasks. |
| PATCH | `/api/platform/projects/{id}/tasks/{taskId}` | Rename, reprioritise, reassign, move status. |
| GET | `/api/platform/agents` | Agents you can see. |

Machine-readable: [`/openapi.json`](https://perkos.xyz/openapi.json).

## 4. Rules that will save you a retry loop

**Idempotency.** Send `x-idempotency-key` on writes. Retrying a create with the
same key does not duplicate it.

**Errors are JSON.** Always `{"error":{"message":string,"code":string}}`. You
will never get an HTML landing page from these paths, so you can parse without
sniffing.

**401 is not 403.** 401 means no or bad token. 403 means the token is valid and
the caller is not allowed. Re-signing fixes the first and never the second.

**Payment.** `x-payment` is forwarded and `x-payment-response` is returned, so
a job that requires payment can answer 402 and be retried. Which jobs charge is
a product decision and is not settled; treat 402 as possible, not as promised.

## 5. What is not here

The browser routes (`/dashboard`, `/projects`, `/tasks`, `/chat`, ...) are HTML
for people and are disallowed in `robots.txt`. Scraping them is not the
contract and they will not be stable for you.
