# Detect policy conflicts

`POST /api/v1/policies/conflicts`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://agent.getaxonflow.com`
- URL: `https://agent.getaxonflow.com/api/v1/policies/conflicts`
- Auth: none declared. Required headers: `X-Tenant-ID`
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/getaxonflow/apis/axonflow-policy-management-api/docs/api/v1/policies/conflicts/post.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

> **Deprecated.**

Analyze the tenant's active policies for contradictions, shadows, and
redundancies. Optionally scope the analysis to a single policy by
passing `policy_id` in the request body (the body may be omitted
entirely to check all policies).

**Evaluation tier and above** — requires an Evaluation or Enterprise
license. Counts against the daily simulation quota.

## Headers

- `X-Tenant-ID` string, required

## Request body

- PolicyConflictRequest
  - `policy_id` string: Optional: check a specific policy against all others

## Response `200`
