# Archive: new provisions/wakes/submits refuse; stop_nodes optional \[org admin or manager token\]

`POST /preview/org/workspaces/{slug}/archive`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://autoresearch.sfcompute.com`
- URL: `https://autoresearch.sfcompute.com/preview/org/workspaces/{slug}/archive`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Archive a workspace - one workspace of your own org, reversible, with nothing deleted. New node creates, wakes, command runs, and job submits in it are refused (with a message naming who archived it and why); running nodes keep running until stopped, reads and billing history stay, and nothing is deleted - unarchive_workspace reverses it. This is the per-workspace containment lever (one misbehaving tenant, one course that ended) - org-wide levers stay on /team. Pass stop_nodes to also stop the workspace's running nodes (disks park; files survive). The default workspace can't be archived. Org admins, or a manager service token.

## Path parameters

- `slug` string, required: The workspace slug.

## Query parameters

- `workspace` string

## Request body

- object
  - `org` string, nullable: Organization (uuid or name); omitted = your active org.
  - `reason` string, nullable: Why (shown in the refusal new work in this workspace gets).
  - `stop_nodes` boolean, nullable: Also stop the workspace's running nodes (disks park; files survive). Default false: running work drains on its own.

## Response `200`

The capability's JSON result.

- Result: The capability's result: the same object the MCP tool returns as structuredContent. Resources carry an `object` type discriminator and an immutable id; money is integer micro-dollars in `*_usd_micros` fields.
  - `object` string: The resource type, when the result is one resource.

## Other responses

- `400`: Malformed request: bad JSON, a parameter that does not parse, or a value outside its range. Code `invalid`.
- `401`: No bearer token, or one this API cannot verify. Code `unauthenticated`.
- `403`: Authenticated, but the token's scopes or the account's role do not reach this operation. The message names the scope word to request. Code `forbidden`.
- `404`: No such route. Code `not_found`; the body names the OpenAPI document.
- `422`: A well-formed request the platform declined: no such node, a cap reached, a state that forbids the move. The message says which, and what to do instead. Code `refused`.
- `429`: Over this door's per-customer budget. Wait `Retry-After` seconds. Code `rate_limited`.
- `500`: Our fault. Retry; if it persists, quote the request-id. Code `internal`.
