# List the devices your organisation currently holds

> The leases your organisation holds right now, among the devices this credential can see. This is what answers "how many of my devices are in use"; `GET /v1/devices` answers how many exist and how many are reachable, and the two are different questions.

A DEVICE MISSING FROM THIS LIST IS NOT AVAILABLE TO YOU. It means only that you hold no live lease on it. It may be held by someone else, or your quota may be spent: the acquire call is deliberately unable to tell those apart, and this endpoint does not tell you either. Acquiring is the only thing that answers whether you can acquire.

The listing can never name a device `GET /v1/devices` would not: leases are looked up for the devices that listing returns, so a key narrowed to a subset of devices sees leases only within that subset.

The lease id and fencing token are not returned. The id is the credential `release_device` checks, and publishing it to every reader would let one of your runs release another's lease.

Ordered by expiry, soonest first.

Hosted deployments only. A local checkout does not mount this route, so calling it there is a 404.

  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.

          `PORT` names.

        WHO. The same shape answers three questions: who took an action
        (`Receipt.actor`), who is holding a device (`Lease.holder`), and who
        started a run (`RunView.initiator`). One shape on purpose, so the three
        can never disagree about what a given credential is called.

        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.
