# What you owe next

> The next bill: when it lands, what it comes to, and how many lines it has.

`currentPeriodEnd` IS THE FIELD MOST CALLERS WANT: the date a subscription renews. It is answered once for the organisation rather than once per order, deliberately: a per-order answer would cost one call to the payment provider for every row of a list, and it would have to put a renewal date on ended orders, where the honest value is never.

EVERY NUMBER HERE IS THE PAYMENT PROVIDER'S, read back and passed on unchanged. Nothing on this side computes, estimates or annualises an amount, and `amountMinor` is in the currency's minor unit because that is the only form it has not been through arithmetic to reach.

NOTHING SCHEDULED IS A 200 WITH NULLS, not a 404. An organisation whose purchases are all pay as you go has no upcoming invoice, and neither has one that has ended everything; both are ordinary states of a working account and a screen should say so rather than show an error.

ANSWERS ONLY ABOUT THE CALLER'S OWN ORGANISATION. The provider's customer reference comes off this organisation's own purchases and never off the request.

NEEDS `devices:read`, the same scope `GET /v1/usage` needs. Money is read on the same terms as minutes: a credential narrow enough to be refused one device's usage is not wide enough to be told what the whole organisation owes. Until 2026-09-22 this route asked only that SOME credential was present, which put the organisation-wide number behind a weaker gate than the per-device one.

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.

        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.

        are called, so a tool your credential cannot use is absent from
        `tools/list` rather than refused mid gesture.
