# Report an Auto Capture take

`POST /v1/auto-captures/{sourceId}/reports`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.tella.com`
- URL: `https://api.tella.com/v1/auto-captures/{sourceId}/reports`
- Auth: HTTP bearer
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/withchima/apis/tella-public-api/docs/v1/auto-captures/:sourceId/reports/post.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Tell Tella that a take went wrong, so the cause gets found and fixed in Auto Capture. That covers what it filmed (the wrong page or feature, a step that was asked for missed or cut off, stopping short of the result) and how the recording came out (choppy playback, frozen or black frames, a cursor that doesn't match what happened). Reporting changes nothing on the take, starts nothing and costs nothing; to get a better take, revise it over the MCP server. A take can be reported more than once, by the person who started it or anyone in the workspace it was made in. A take that is still running can't be reported (400). Any other source, or a take you can't see, answers 404.

## Path parameters

- `sourceId` string, required: The take's `sourceId`

## Request body

- ReportAutoCaptureRequest
  - `reason` string, required: What went wrong, in the user's words when they gave them: what the take shows against what was asked, or how the recording plays. Never a password, code or sign-in link.

## Response `201`

The report was stored

- AutoCaptureReport
  - `reportedAt` string, required: When the report was stored (ISO 8601)
  - `sourceId` string, required: The take that was reported
