FERC Agentic Access

x-agentic-access generated

FERC exposes 18 API operations that an AI agent could call, of which 2 are state-changing ‘acting’ operations. This is a recommended x-agentic-access execution contract — the scope, audience, consequence tier, short-lived token constraints, and escalation each action should carry before it is handed to an autonomous agent.

By consequence: 16 read, 1 write, and 1 safety-critical.

1 operation are classed safety-critical and should require human-in-the-loop approval at runtime.

Contracts are classified heuristically from the provider’s OpenAPI and refresh on every APIs.io network build; audience is bound per deployment. The model follows Curity’s Access Intelligence (apidays Munich 2026). Browse every provider’s agent contracts at agentic-access.apis.io.

  Two operations were raised by hand above the heuristic default and are marked `curated: true` —
  postExternalFiling (mandated, irreversible regulatory filing → safety-critical, human-in-the-loop
  required) and listPublicSubmissionHistory (anonymous but returns personal data → subject and audit
  required). The summary counts below reflect those corrections.

    Raised by hand from the heuristic default (write / conditional). This operation submits a
    MANDATED regulatory filing to FERC production on behalf of a named credentialed filer. It is
    irreversible, legally consequential, carries no idempotency key, and a repeat call creates a
    second filing. Human-in-the-loop is required, not conditional.

    address — for ~37,600 filings. Treated as personal data: subject required, audit required, and
    excluded from the agent skills and the candidate MCP tool set. See
    security/ferc-vulnerability-disclosure.yml.
