Create Scope

POST /v1/scopes Creates a custom permission scope for the authenticated tenant. Custom scopes extend the built-in scope registry with tenant-specific permissions. The scope string is automatically composed from the resource and action fields in resource:action format. Custom scopes are validated against the MAIP scope format rules: alphanumeric characters, dots, underscores, hyphens, and asterisks only.
Custom scopes are tenant-isolated. They do not appear in other tenants’ scope registries. Built-in platform scopes cannot be overridden or duplicated.

​
Authentication

Requires X-API-Key header or Bearer JWT token. Tenant-scoped via X-Tenant-ID.

​

required
The action component of the scope. Must contain only alphanumeric characters, dots, underscores, hyphens, and asterisks. Examples: "read", "approve", "*".
​

Assigning Custom Scopes to Agents

curl -X POST https://api.truthlocks.com/v1/agents \
  -H "X-API-Key: tl_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "agent_type": "pipeline",
