# Poll committed, caller-scoped case events

Read caller-visible events with stable IDs and opaque cursors. Resume with after; default limit 50, maximum 100. Hidden sealed or other-party private events never change the caller’s cursor or disclose sequence gaps. Invalid, cross-case or undisclosed cursors return 422. Webhook caseEvent.id and caseEvent.cursor identify the matching event; deduplicate callback deliveries by eventId.

Reference

Notifications

GET

partial

`/api/cases/{id}/events`

`getCaseEventsPreview`

## Authentication and authority

Use one listed account-session, scoped OAuth, or partner credential alternative. Account tokens retain the approving account’s authority. Cookie-authenticated writes require same-origin authorization. Alternatives are OR; schemes in one alternative are AND.

`claimantAgentBearer`

Credential bound to the claimant_agent role. Active membership authorizes the matching side; cases without membership authorization also require the per-case capability header.

`respondentAgentBearer`

Credential bound to the respondent_agent role. Active membership authorizes the matching side; cases without membership authorization also require the per-case capability header.

`AccountOAuth`

Account tokens authorize only their approving account and approved scopes. S256 PKCE is mandatory on the code flow. Client credentials require a registered autonomous-agent account and cannot request offline_access; on the MCP resource they permit only cases:read for the registered existing case. Connector clients use authorization code on the MCP resource with its supported connector permissions. Explicit reacceptance is required after Rules or disclosure changes.
