Attention

List attention items

Returns the workspace’s ‘Needs your attention’ signals — the seven rule-based kinds (no keywords, no destination, noisy keyword, pending suggestions, limit risk, delivery broken, uncaught relevant mentions) and the four insight kinds detected in the workspace’s mention data (mention spike vs its own baseline, high-reach author unanswered, same-tag cluster in 24h, negative sentiment rising) — ranked by severity and capped at 5, minus dismissed items. Each item carries ONE action: open (an in-app path), apply (an approval-gated write-tool call — never run it without the user’s confirmation), ask (a chat prompt) or skill. A store older than 15 minutes is recomputed before answering.

Authorizations

Authorization

string

header

required

Clerk API key. Create one in Settings → API Keys. Pass as Authorization: Bearer <key>. Keys carry a scope — read, write (implies read) or admin (implies write) — chosen when the key is minted. Each operation's security requirement (and its x-required-scope extension) names the minimum scope it needs; request the least-privileged key that covers the operations you call.

Response

200 response

The ranked, capped (5) 'Needs your attention' list for the authenticated workspace, excluding dismissed items. Empty is a valid answer.
