Gateway (port 8080)#

Every route except /health and /readyz needs an API key, as Authorization: Bearer gs_... or x-api-key: gs_....

A refused request gets HTTP 400 with {"error":{"message":"...","type":"invalid_request_error","code":"content_filter"}}. When policies or org settings cannot be loaded or evaluated, the gateway returns 503 and sends nothing upstream. An upstream 4xx is passed through; an upstream 5xx becomes 502 (upstream_error), a timeout 504 (upstream_timeout). A route target or default upstream that is missing, disabled or lacks its key variable gives 502 (route_unavailable) and sends nothing. Over a rate limit: 429 with Retry-After.

Control plane (port 8081; 18081 on the host with compose)#

All routes are under /v1. Everything except login and invite acceptance needs Authorization: Bearer <token from /v1/auth/login>. Roles are owner, admin, member and viewer; the table shows the lowest role allowed.

Pagination. List endpoints take ?limit=50&cursor=<opaque> (limit at most 200) and answer {"items": [...], "next_cursor": "..." | null, "total": n} (total is left out of requests and activity). Cursors are keyset positions, so rows added between pages do not shift them. For one release, the endpoints that existed before answer in their old shape ({"data": [...]}) when the request has neither limit nor cursor.

Dashboard. GET /organizations/:orgId/dashboard aggregates the request log in Postgres over a window that ends now (window is 24h, the default, 7d or 30d; project_id narrows it to one project): total, blocked, block_rate, by_action, latency_ms (p50, p95, p99; null without latencies), a series of {start, count, blocked} per hour (24h) or per day (UTC, empty buckets included), and the top five top_labels (benign left out), top_rules (with rule and policy names) and top_projects. The admin UI dashboard reads it.

Errors are {"error": "message"}; the identity endpoints add a machine-readable "code" (such as mfa_required, login_method_not_allowed, last_owner, invalid_code). The gateway refuses a model an upstream does not allow with 400 and the OpenAI-style code model_not_allowed.

Both services also serve GET /health. The control plane serves the admin UI at /ui/ (no token; the UI logs in through /v1/auth/login) and redirects / there.

Policy rules run in order. The first matching allow, block or route decides; a matching log rule is recorded and evaluation continues. route allows the request and sends it to the upstream named by the rule's route_target (see Routing); redact is refused. A condition is a JSON tree ({"combinator":"and","rules":[...]} or a single {"field","operator","value"}) compiled to CEL on the server; clients never send CEL. POST /v1/policy/parse turns text such as scores.l2 > 0.8 && injection.category == "jailbreak" into that tree: the text goes through the CEL parser for its syntax only, and only &&, ||, !, parentheses, comparisons of a field with a literal, field.contains/startsWith/endsWith("x"), field in ["a", "b"] and "x" in list_field are accepted. The stored form stays the tree, so the CEL that runs is always generated by the server. POST /v1/policy/format goes the other way; format(parse(text)) is stable, and parentheses around a group keep it a group. Fields: request.model, request.tenant_id, request.tokens, injection.score, injection.label, injection.category, scores.l1, scores.l2, scores.l3 (calibrated, -1 when the layer did not run), indirect.score, indirect.source, injection.source_role, anomaly.score, anomaly.has_tag_chars, anomaly.has_bidi, mcp.is_tool_response. A policy holds at most 200 rules; each rule has a CEL cost limit, the rules of one request share a cost budget and a timeout, and any of these limits fails closed with 503. Project policies run before the org-wide ones.
