- URL: `https://api.oveyon.com/v1/policies`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

## Query parameters

- `scope` 'outbound' | 'inbound'
- `kind` 'allow' | 'block'
- `limit` integer
- `offset` integer

## Response `200`

List (a paused entry is still listed and does not apply).

- object
  - `policies` ListEntry[]
    - `id` integer
    - `scope` 'outbound' | 'inbound': Which direction the list judges.
    - `kind` 'allow' | 'block'
    - `pattern` string
    - `domainId` integer, nullable: 0 = every domain of the account.
    - `credentialType` 'none' | 'smtp' | 'apiKey' | 'null', nullable: `none` = every credential.
    - `credentialId` integer, nullable: 0 with credentialType `none`.
    - `paused` boolean
    - `pausedAt` string, nullable
  - `total` integer
  - `limit` integer
  - `offset` integer

## Other responses

- `400`: bad_request — scope or kind invalid
- `401`: Missing or invalid API key.
- `403`: Insufficient scope (`insufficient_scope`, with `required` and `have`), a scope the key holds but cannot use while its human-approval lock is on (`scope_blocked_by_approval_lock`, with `required` — approve:holds, write:send-policies, manage:webhooks, write:inbound, write:templates, write:surveys, write:domains, write:contacts), API key switched off by its owner in the panel (`key_disabled` — the key is valid; turn it back on or use another one, do not rotate), sending disabled, account suspended (`account_suspended`) or unknown (`account_unknown`), or the key used from an IP outside its allowed ranges (`ip_not_allowed`, with the `allowed` list — see /v1/credentials/ip-rules). 403 is not a limit: do not retry.
- `429`: Per-key limit (`rate_limited`, 600 requests/min by default per API key — or per MCP OAuth connection —, from any IP), per-IP limit for requests WITHOUT a valid credential (`rate_limited`, 600/min by default), too many unknown or malformed credentials from your address (`too_many_auth_failures`, 20/min by default, counted per IPv4 address or per IPv6 /48; a missing `Authorization`, an expired OAuth token or a disabled key do not count, and anything without the shape of one of our keys counts without being checked; from an address over that limit a valid key still gets through within 120 credential checks/min, and above them every credential not validated in the last 5 minutes gets this 429 until the minute turns) — all checked before the route, on every operation —, account quota (`quota_exceeded` with `window`, `used`, `limit`), warmup cap (`warmup_cap_reached`) or saturation (`queue_full`). Honor `Retry-After` with exponential backoff and jitter.
- `500`: internal_error — an unexpected failure on our side. The detail stays in our logs, never in the body. Retry reads; retry a write only when it is idempotent or carries an idempotency key.
- `503`: ip_rules_unavailable — the IP ranges bound to your key could not be checked right now (caution, not a denial). Retry after `Retry-After` (30 s).
