title: Writ Agent Selectors API
version: 0.1.0
license:
name: MIT
identifier: MIT
description: 'Loopback HTTP API of the Writ local agent (`writ-agentd`), the daemon embedded in the
Writ desktop app and the self-host build. This document is generated against the Rust
daemon source (`writ-agent/src/local/`), which is the wire truth.
## Transport
- Plain HTTP on `127.0.0.1:8131` (default; `WRIT_PORT` env overrides).
- Optional HTTPS twin on `127.0.0.1:8132`, served with a certificate minted by a
per-install, name-constrained local CA (`~/.writ/tls/ca.pem`). Clients must trust that
CA file (or pin it) to use the TLS port; the payloads are identical on both ports.
- The daemon enforces a DNS-rebind guard: `Host`/`Origin` must be loopback. Talk to
`127.0.0.1`, not `localhost`.
## Errors
Domain errors are JSON `{"error": "", "code": ""}` (see the
`Error` schema). Codes include `bad_request`, `unauthorized`, `forbidden`, `not_found`,
`vault_locked` (HTTP 423), `too_many_requests`, `device_capacity` (HTTP 409),
`captcha_required` (HTTP 402), `internal`.
**Caveat:** some 4xx bodies are `text/plain`, not JSON — axum framework rejections
(e.g. a JSON body that fails to deserialize returns
`Failed to deserialize the JSON body into the target type: missing field ''url''` as
plain text with a 4xx status). Clients must tolerate non-JSON error bodies.
## List envelopes
The wire is deliberately documented as-is (SDKs normalize; this spec does not):
- `{"data": [...], "count": n}` — workflows, personas, persona runs, secrets, files, keys
- `{"data": [...], "count": n, "total": n}` — runs
- **bare JSON array** — monitors, monitor selectors, extractors, automations,
`/v1/changes/recent`
- bespoke objects — `/v1/monitors/{id}/changes`, `/v1/data`, the workflow-data table'
servers:
