# Create Team

`POST /v1/teams`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.pioneer.ai` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://api.pioneer.ai/v1/teams`
- Auth: one of:
  - API key in header `X-API-Key`
  - HTTP bearer
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/pioneer/apis/brain-api/docs/v1/teams/post.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Create a team.

Creating a workspace spends nothing. A new team opens at a zero balance,
and inference on it is gated later. The caller's current wallet must not
block the create.

Args:
    request: Team creation payload.
    auth: Authenticated caller.
    service: Team service.

Returns:
    Created team.

## Request body

- TeamCreate: Request model for creating a team.
  - `name` string, required: Name for the team
  - `usage_reset_timezone` string, nullable: IANA timezone for the daily credit reset hour. Defaults to UTC when omitted.

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- TeamResponse: Response model for a single team.
  - `id` string, required
  - `name` string, required
  - `owner_id` string, required
  - `zero_data_retention` boolean
  - `created_at` string, required
  - `updated_at` string, required
  - `member_count` integer, nullable
  - `current_user_role` 'owner' | 'billing' | 'admin' | 'editor' | 'viewer': Team member roles with hierarchical permissions. Wire DTO mirror of the ORM ``TeamRoleType`` enum. Used only for API request/response serialization; authorization decisions route through the ORM matrix (``database_tables.permissions``), never this enum.
  - `capabilities` object, nullable
  - `max_seats` integer, nullable: Cap on members plus pending invitations. Null means unlimited; a new team opens at the column's fail-closed default of 150 seats.
  - `max_api_keys` integer, nullable: Cap on active user-facing API keys, excluding internal run keys. Null means no team-specific cap, so the platform default applies; 0 forbids API keys.
