Answer an interaction

POST/v1/sessions/{session_id}/interactions/{interaction_key}/answer

Accept a durable human answer by the stable interaction_key. answer is JSON: a string for a question, or the decision object requested by a permission interaction. A successful answer returns 202 Accepted with status answered; delivery is asynchronous, so list the session’s interactions again until the key’s status is delivered. If another caller already answered, the API returns 409 Conflict; list again to read the recorded answer.

Generated from the Platform API specification on 2026-09-04.

Path parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
session_id	string	The session, as returned by Create a session.
interaction_key	string	The stable key from the interactions list.

Headers

Header	Required	Description
Authorization	yes	Bearer plus a short-lived OAuth access token issued for the Tanomis API audience. Backends obtain tokens with an organization automation client; the CLI’s human login is not an application credential.
X-Organization-ID	yes	The organization_id from the workspace projection you selected in GET /v1/me/workspaces.
X-Workspace-Tenant-ID	yes	The nested tenant_id from the same projection. A header cannot widen what the token grants. Some single-workspace or self-hosted environments take X-Tenant-ID instead, as supplied by their administrator.

Request body

Field	Type	Required	Description
kind	string	required	Must match the interaction’s kind: question or permission.
answer	any	required	A string for a question; the requested decision object for a permission.

Responses

Status	Meaning
202	The answer was accepted.
