The agents/ folder: one file and what it compiles to
What one agents/ file holds, what each key compiles to, and the checks that read it.
One agents/ file is one seat’s contract: who fills it, its number, its standards, limits and approvals. SalesBuilder compiles it, and show traces every key.

├── metrics/The file
| Key | On the page | Compiles to | Checked by |
|---|---|---|---|
worker | Who fills it | POST /{namespace}/roles/{role}/staff: an agent or a person; a hire takes the seat with its queue and number | — |
aliases | Title | the title pages show for the seat | — |
results | Your number | the seat’s Key Result, a node or leaf of the ARR tree inside its band | S9 |
standards | Standards | the times a Stop reads, such as the 60-minute answer | — |
limits | Limits | count- and time-based caps; crossing one pauses the Play (POST /{namespace}/limits/{limit}/raise) | — |
autonomy | Autonomy | the starting rung: you approve each one, until 48 of its last 50 pass | — |
approvals | Approvals | who answers an Approval when a call passes its Limit (POST /{namespace}/approvals/{approval}/approve) | — |
Checks
| Check | It holds | What dev prints |
|---|---|---|
| S4 | The budget fits the Mandate, or opens an Approval. | plays/ |
| S9 | Each Key Result names a node or leaf of the ARR tree, and a seat’s Key Result sits in its band. | agents/ |
Refusals
| Code | Fix, then the call that clears it |
|---|---|
batch-cap | Split the batch, or approve the larger one. Then POST /{namespace}/approvals/{approval}/approve. |
claim | Cut the line, or cite the Offer term that grants it. Then POST /{namespace}/conversations/{conversation}/answer. |
clinician-hold | Ask the Compliance Officer to approve the invitation; it waits until then. Then POST /{namespace}/approvals/{approval}/approve. |
comparison-claim | Approve the changed claim once; it publishes after the approval. Then POST /{namespace}/approvals/{approval}/approve. |
concentration | Approve it as a long deal above the cap, or add creators first. Then POST /{namespace}/approvals/{approval}/approve. |
credit | Raise the credit Limit, or block the key drawing from 2 accounts. Then POST /{namespace}/limits/{limit}/raise. |
deploy-freeze | Ship it after day 5, or ship an approved fix in steps; reverts always run. Then POST /{namespace}/approvals/{approval}/approve. |
domain | Confirm the viewer yourself, or keep the report held. Then POST /{namespace}/tasks/next. |
draft-match | Approve the changed Order again; the old Card voids. Then POST /{namespace}/approvals/{approval}/approve. |
editorial | Pass it before the deadline, or the week records checked, nothing to send. Then POST /{namespace}/approvals/{approval}/approve. |
exclusive | Wait for the first offer to be declined or expire, then offer the next. Then POST /{namespace}/tasks/next. |
field-scope | Ask the admin once in writing; the field joins on their yes. Then POST /{namespace}/conversations/{conversation}/answer. |
fraud-hold | Decide pay or void on the Approval. Then POST /{namespace}/approvals/{approval}/approve. |
gift-approval | Approve it in your queue; a gift never sends on a timeout. Then POST /{namespace}/approvals/{approval}/approve. |
invitation-rest | Wait 60 days, or 180 days after 2 unanswered invitations. Then POST /{namespace}/tasks/next. |
keep-first | Let their CSM reach them first, then ask again once they are healthy. Then POST /{namespace}/tasks/next. |
late-send | Approve the next window sooner, or promote the cell; the expired send never goes. Then POST /{namespace}/approvals/{approval}/approve. |
license-allowlist | Replace the dependency, or add its license to the allowlist with your OK. Then POST /{namespace}/approvals/{approval}/approve. |
no-cash-or-travel | Send a take-home gift through gift delivery under the class cap, with its Approval. Then POST /{namespace}/approvals/{approval}/approve. |

pilot-cap | Wait in the queue for the dated start, or end a running pilot first. Then POST /{namespace}/tasks/next. |
portfolio-caps | Take the next open date the caps allow. Then POST /{namespace}/tasks/next. |
price | Get the discount approved, or quote at the floor. Then POST /{namespace}/approvals/{approval}/approve. |

reconcile | Clear the Stripe mismatch, then send again. Then POST /{namespace}/tasks/next. |
recording-hold | Announce it at the start, under the host’s grant. Then POST /{namespace}/tasks/next. |
rival-name | Cite a dated fact for the rival, then approve the phrase. Then POST /{namespace}/approvals/{approval}/approve. |
role-unstaffed | Staff the Role, or leave it: its routes come to you. Then POST /{namespace}/roles/{role}/staff. |
screening | Review the hit yourself; nothing is released until you clear it. Then POST /{namespace}/tasks/next. |
session-gate | Send from the tray yourself; no connector gets your login. Then POST /{namespace}/tasks/next. |
store-billed | Link the store’s own refund path; no button or guarantee shows. Then POST /{namespace}/conversations/{conversation}/answer. |
terms-hold | Clear the partner’s terms; the build stays private until then. Then POST /{namespace}/tasks/next. |

verification | Review the List; send to the verified addresses only. Then POST /{namespace}/tasks/next. |
viewer-limit | Approve the new viewer, or keep the list as it is. Then POST /{namespace}/approvals/{approval}/approve. |
