API · Create · Intents
Execute the intent.
Commit an already-resolved intent to execution. Equivalent to calling POST /intents with execute: true, but split into a separate endpoint so that the resolved plan can be reviewed by a human (or a higher-tier agent) before any side effect lands.
The plan executed is exactly the plan returned by the prior dry-run resolution — Matter rejects execution if the intent's underlying jurisdictional rules, schemas, or pricing have changed since resolution (409 intent_stale_replan_required). Replan with POST /intents/{id}/replan and re-review.
Plans containing human or agency gates (professional-board consents, paper-filing jurisdictions), entity kinds the execution substrate cannot persist yet, or unimplemented prerequisite steps resolve for review but are refused kickoff with 409 plan_not_executable_pending_capability — execution never skips a legal gate. The plan's compliance_calendar carries every post-formation obligation regardless.
Prerequisites - Intent must be in resolved state with no validation errors. Returns 409 intent_not_executable otherwise. - Caller must hold a tier-3+ token (or human OAuth) with all scopes required by the cascade.
Returns 202 Accepted. On completion, emits one of: intent.executed, intent.failed. Subscribe via `POST /v1/webhook_endpoints` to consume. Idempotent via Idempotency-Key. See idempotency.
