# Discover visible devices and authoritative application scopes

> Read-only adapter capability projection. No inventory collection, wake, boot, lease acquisition/renewal or device action. Return independent supported/unsupported/unknown for inventoryRead/install/update/uninstall and authoritative scope or null; updatedAt is capability knowledge time only. Invisible devices omitted; explicit invisible deviceId ->404. Clients use non-null authoritative scope to request an inventory refresh; null remains unselectable.

  title: Phonebase HTTP API
  version: 0.1.0
  summary: >-
    Every HTTP operation the control plane mounts, generated from the app's own
    route table.
  description: >-
    The control plane exposes two HTTP surfaces, and reading the boundary
    between them matters more than reading any single endpoint.


    The CONTROL surface is what your backend and your operators call. It takes a
    bearer token in the `Authorization` header, and two credential channels
    resolve to the same authorization context: an OAuth 2.1 access token for
    interactive clients, or an org scoped API key for headless ones.


    The DEVICE surface, under `/vrx/{runToken}/v1`, is what a worker calls while
    executing one run. Its credential is the run token in the url path, and it
    reads no `Authorization` header at all.


    Device control itself is not REST. An agent taps, swipes and reads the
    screen over the Model Context Protocol at `POST /mcp`, one tool call at a
    time. There is no `POST /v1/devices/{id}/tap`, and if you are looking for
    one, start with the tool reference instead.


    Operations marked `"x-phonebase-modes": ["hosted"]` exist only on a hosted
    deployment; a local checkout does not mount them.

        description: >-
          The hosted deployment serves the public origin its metadata document
          advertises, and that is the default here. Select the loopback entry
          instead when you are running a local checkout, which serves the port
          `PORT` names.

        The control surface credential. Send `Authorization: Bearer <token>`.


        Two kinds of token are accepted and they are told apart by shape, not by
        a separate header. A token beginning `pbk_` is an org scoped API key,
        whose public half and secret half are generated together and of which
        only a hash of the secret is ever stored; anything else is treated as an
        OAuth 2.1 access token and verified against the authorization server's
        keys.


        Both resolve to the same context: an org, a principal and a set of
        scopes. Nothing downstream branches on which channel you used, with one
        deliberate exception, key management, which requires a signed-in person
        so that a key can never mint another key.


        Scopes are enforced when MCP tools are REGISTERED rather than when they
        are called, so a tool your credential cannot use is absent from
        `tools/list` rather than refused mid gesture.
