# List guardrails

GET

/v1/guardrails

```sh
curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://example.com/v1/guardrails?limit=25&scopeKind=tenant&inherit=true' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'
```

Cursor-paginated list of registered guardrails. Optional `?name=` filters by prefix on guardrail id.

## Authorizations

- **[bearerAuth](https://docs.kindgi.com/v0.1.10/reference/api.md#bearerauth)**

## Parameters

### Query Parameters

**limit**

integer

default: 25 >= 1 <= 100

1..100. Default 25.

**cursor**

string

Where the previous page ended: its `nextCursor`, as it came. A runtime that seals cursors takes one only for the same list, filters and caller, within a day; otherwise `400 bad-input`, and the list starts again without it. Absent → first page.

**name**

string

Prefix match on the resource id.

**scopeKind**

Discriminator for the ?scopeKind + ?scopeId + ?inherit triplet. Tenant carries no id (implicit from session); org/project require scopeId.

string

Allowed values: tenant org project

Optional scope discriminator. If absent, no scope filter is applied.

**scopeId**

string

\>= 1 characters

Required IF scopeKind is `org` or `project`. MUST be absent if scopeKind=`tenant` (tenant is implicit from the session). Malformed combinations return 400 scope-invalid.

**inherit**

boolean

default: true

Default `true`. `false` = literal-at-this-scope only (admin/audit view). Load-bearing for policy/config-scoped resources (mcp-endpoints); documented no-op for content-scoped resources (agents/flows/tools/…).

## Responses

### 200

Page of guardrails.

application/json

object

**data**

required

Array\<object>

object

**id**

required

string

\>= 1 characters

**projectId**

The guardrail’s project. Absent when the runtime doesn’t record it: a pack `kindgi dev` serves from disk, or a runtime before Kindgi 0.1.6.

string format: uuid

**name**

string

**description**

string

**kind**

required

How the guardrail is checked. Open string: the built-in kinds are listed in `examples`; adapters register strategies for their own kinds.

string

\>= 1 characters

**check**

required

Reference to the concrete check implementation registered server-side.

string

\>= 1 characters

**config**

object

**_key_**

additional properties

any

**action**

required

object

**on-violation**

required

What a failed check does to the agent turn. Open string: the built-in actions are listed in `examples`, and any other non-empty name is accepted. In 0.1 the runtime acts only on `halt`: the turn fails with `guardrail-violation` and its response is not stored. Any other value is recorded as a violation, as `log-only` is, and the turn completes: nothing runs the turn again, escalates or calls a compensating tool.

string

\>= 1 characters

**retry**

The attempts a `retry` asks for. In 0.1 nothing acts on it: there’s no second attempt.

object

**maxAttempts**

required

integer

\>= 1 <= 10

**escalateTo**

Where an `escalate` goes. In 0.1 nothing escalates.

string

**compensateWith**

The tool id a `compensate` names. In 0.1 that tool isn’t called.

string

**severity**

string

Allowed values: info warn error critical

**scope**

object

**when**

string

Allowed values: always ci-only runtime-only

**nextCursor**

Opaque cursor for the next page. Absent when `hasMore: false`.

string

**hasMore**

boolean
