Headers

Idempotency-Keystring

Replays of the same key with the same body return the first successful response (with Idempotent-Replay: true) for 24h; the same key with a different body is a 409 idempotency_error. While the first request with a key is still running, the same key is a 409 idempotency_in_flight: retry after Retry-After.

X-OW-Agentstring

Send it (any non-empty value) when an agent makes this write: the change is recorded with changed_via declared (a delete's tombstone with deleted_via). An agent seat's key and MCP are recorded as agent-made without it. The value is never stored.

Request body

type'institution' required
idstring uuid required

The sub level category through which the element is further classified.

image_urlstring required

URL to an image representing the element.

doctrinestring required

Core belief, mission, or purpose that drives the institution.

statusstring required

Current political, cultural, or functional standing of the institution in the world.

founding_dateinteger nullable required

Date when the institution was established, in the world's TIME format.

parent_institutionstring uuid nullable required

Institution that governs, embodies, or originated this one. An Institution's id.

zonesstring[] required

Areas the institution controls or claims authority over. Zone ids.

objectsstring[] required

Significant objects owned or tied to the institution's operations, holdings, or identity. Object ids.

creaturesstring[] required

Creatures under the institution's protection, use, or symbolic control. Creature ids.

alliesstring[] required

Institutions this one actively cooperates or aligns with. Institution ids.

adversariesstring[] required

Institutions this one opposes, competes with, or is in conflict with. Institution ids.

constructsstring[] required

Conceptual, procedural, or structural systems created or maintained by the institution. Construct ids.

created_atstring date-time required
updated_atstring date-time required
change_seqinteger required

The world change sequence at this element's last write.

created_bystring uuid nullable required

The world membership that created this element, or null when the world's owner did.

changed_bystring uuid nullable required

The world membership that last changed this element, or null when the world's owner (or the server) did, or no write has touched it since doors were recorded.

changed_via'seat' | 'mcp' | 'declared' | 'api' | 'v1' | 'sync' | 'server' | 'null' nullable required

The door of the last change: seat (an agent seat), mcp (the MCP server), declared (the request sent an X-OW-Agent header), api, v1, sync (the mobile app's sync) or server (the server, on its own behalf). The first three mean an agent made it. Null: no write since doors were recorded.

known_oftrue

Present, and true, only on an element this reader knows of but does not see whole: a guest or player reaches it only because its own Character's sheet links to it (one step out). Such a row keeps id, type, name, description, supertype, subtype, image_url, created_at, updated_at and change_seq; every other field reads as unset (text "", numbers and single links null, multi links [], created_by, changed_by and changed_via null, no extension fields), its files are 404, and search matches only its name and description. Absent: the element is whole. Any other grant (it names the reader's Character, the reader knows it, it is on the roster, the reader made it) makes it whole; a hidden element is never even a stub.
