Access requests
Request expiring, purpose-bound access; grants follow authorized approval.
Request schema from OpenAPI
| Field | Type | Required | Constraints | Technical definition |
|---|---|---|---|---|
recordId | string | Yes | {"minLength": 1, "maxLength": 128} | Registered record identifier; token scope alone does not confer object access. |
purpose | string | Yes | {"minLength": 1} | Purpose of access to evaluate against object-level authority. |
expiresAt | string | Yes | {"minLength": 1, "format": "date-time"} | UTC expiry of the proposed access request, not an issued grant. |

| Item | Proposed rule |
|---|---|
| scope | access:request |
| required | recordId, purpose, expiresAt |
| tenant / project | Token and context must match; headers alone are insufficient. |
| idempotency | POST/PATCH: same key/body returns original result; changed body returns 409; confirm retention window. |
| error | code, message, requestId, correlationId, retryable, details; no sensitive data. |
