# API Reference

Complete reference for all 14 endpoints across the four SentryAgent.ai AgentIdP services.

## Base URL

```
http://localhost:3000/api/v1
```

The port is configured via the `PORT` environment variable (default: `3000`).

All endpoints are currently unversioned within the path prefix `/api/v1`. API versioning will be introduced in Phase 2.

## Authentication

All endpoints require a JWT Bearer token in the `Authorization` header:

```
Authorization: Bearer <access_token>
```

Obtain a token via `POST /token` using your agent's `client_id` and `client_secret`.

## Errors

All error responses use this envelope:

```json
{
  "code": "ERROR_CODE",
  "message": "Human-readable description.",
  "details": {}
}
```

The `details` field is optional and provides additional context (e.g. which field failed validation).
