Parameters

Section titled “ Parameters ”

Header Parameters

Section titled “ Header Parameters ”
Idempotency-Key
string format: uuid
<= 255 characters

Idempotent retry key for mutating operations. The first request with a given key executes normally and BuildWorkPro caches the response. Replaying the same key with the same request body (method + path + JSON body, SHA-256 hashed) returns the cached response without re-executing the mutation. Replaying with a DIFFERENT body returns 409 idempotency_key_reused. The cache TTL is 24 hours; after expiry the key is treated as a new operation. Keys are tenant-scoped. Recommended: a fresh UUID v4 per logical operation.
