POST /api/v1/commands/{id}/execute

Execute the previewed plan (X-Vestoris-Confirm: the preview token; "typed" for large or destructive plans).

  • Scope commands:execute
  • Idempotency-Key
  • Confirmation
  • operationId aiExecute

Executes a previewed natural-language command. Send the preview's confirm_token in X-Vestoris-Confirm; for large or destructive plans add the typed phrase the preview shows: X-Vestoris-Confirm: <confirm_token>; typed="CONFIRM 3". Each item then goes through the normal services, which check permissions and compliance again; the answer lists each item's result. If the data changed since the preview, nothing runs and you get 412 with a new preview. Needs the commands:execute scope.

The token needs the scope commands:execute, and the person or service account behind it needs the matching privileges and account permissions, exactly as on the screens. See Scopes.

Idempotency-Key. Send a unique Idempotency-Key (up to 255 characters, e.g. a UUID) with every POST. Retrying with the same key and body replays the first answer for 24 hours, so a timeout never creates a second order; the same key with a different body is refused (idempotency_key_reused).

Confirmation. Needs X-Vestoris-Confirm with the confirm_token of the preview you are confirming (see Confirmations). The token is bound to that exact preview; if anything changed, ask for a new preview.

No fields.

Other fields of the resource are accepted too; unknown fields are reported by a validation problem, never ignored silently.

Decimals (money, prices, quantities, percentages) are sent as strings, ids as strings, times as ISO 8601 UTC.

Examples

Keep the token in an environment variable (VESTORIS_TOKEN), never in the script.
