# Request execution or record performance and partner follow-up

Reports require active case membership. OAuth requires the new executions:report scope; existing grants gain no authority. Acknowledgement or dispute comes from the opposite side. Provider release requires a separately authorized settlement adapter credential and all Award holds to clear. Partner receipts and non-execution attestations additionally require x-execution-timestamp and x-execution-signature. The HMAC-SHA256 key is the presented partner bearer credential; sign canonical JSON of caseId, awardHash, idempotencyKey, timestamp and body. Timestamp is Unix milliseconds, within five minutes. A signature proves report provenance; the registered partner provider independently verifies a receipt. Reuse the idempotency key only for the same operation and unchanged request.

Reference

Execution

POST

partial

`/api/cases/{id}/executions`

`recordAwardExecution`

## 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.

`CanonicalPartnerBearer`

Partner key issued after partner access is approved. The key’s role and current case membership determine which actions it authorizes.

`CanonicalSession`

The signed-in account’s session. Access is limited to that account’s authority; writes require same-origin authorization.

`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.

## Errors

Read the response status and stable error code. See [errors](https://peoplescourt.ai/docs/api/errors.md) and [rate limits](https://peoplescourt.ai/docs/api/rate-limits.md) for recovery. Refresh the resource before resolving a state or digest conflict.

## Idempotency and retries

- For throttling, honor Retry-After when present. Back off on retryable server failures.
- Send a unique Idempotency-Key. An exact retry returns the stored result; reusing the key with a different request fails.
- The request is accepted only when its credential, authority, case state, and resource preconditions are satisfied.
