# Author a DCQL query from credential definitions and persist it

`POST /queries/authored`

Derives a multi-credential DCQL query from the referenced profile-bound verifiable-credential definitions, persists it to the versioned DCQL store under the caller-chosen `queryId`, and records request-role semantic-attribute usage lineage. Authoring an existing `queryId` appends a new version (the version in the response advances monotonically). Requires the enterprise semantic binding license feature; without it the request fails with `403` and nothing is persisted.
