# Get an intern's daemon access

`GET /interns/{internId}/daemon-access`

Returns the origin and daemon token that attach `ori tui --host` to one visible, running intern. The token is a credential: the response is sent with `Cache-Control: no-store`, and each reveal is logged by caller and intern. The API key selects the caller, workspace and visible interns. There is no default workspace fallback. Requests on regional hostnames such as `eu.openrouter.ai` are refused. [API key](/docs/api-reference/authentication) required.

## Path parameters

- `internId` string, required — ID of an intern visible to the authenticated API key.

## Response `200`

Daemon origin and token.

- InternDaemonAccess — The intern daemon's origin and the bearer `ori tui --host` sends to it as `ORI_DAEMON_TOKEN`.
  - `origin` string, required
  - `token` string, required

## Other responses

- `401` — Missing, unknown or provisioning API key.
- `403` — The key owner no longer has access, or the request used a regional hostname.
- `404` — The caller is outside the Intern API programme, the intern is hidden, or lifecycle writes are disabled.
- `408` — The request exceeded its route deadline. The deadline quoted in the message is the route's own, so it differs between operations.
- `409` — The intern cannot be attached to. `metadata.reason` is `intern_not_running`, `intern_unreachable` when it has no usable address yet, or `intern_needs_restart` when it was provisioned before daemon access was available.
- `500` — The request could not be completed. `metadata.reason` says whether to try again: `internal_error` is a transient failure and carries `metadata.retryable: true`, so the same request may be sent again, while `configuration_error` carries `retryable: false` because the next attempt reads the same missing binding or unusable stored credential.
