# Read a case draft and its confirmation state

Read the filing packet, its digest and the remaining participant confirmations under the caller’s authority.

Reference

Filing preparation

GET

partial

`/api/filings/{id}`

`getFilingPreview`

## 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.

`platformOrchestratorBearer`

Credential bound to the platform_orchestrator role.

`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.
