DTO Reference

Every payload that crosses an API boundary lives in libs/types/src/lib/. This page summarizes the contract types and lists the canonical request/response names for each operation. UI, CLI, and external integrations consume the same package — there is no second source of truth.

Standard envelope fields

Most write DTOs include a subset of:

FieldPurpose
idServer-assigned UUID (response only).
actor_lenser_idWho initiated the action. Resolved from session in most RPCs.
target_*_idWhat the action operates on.
statusLifecycle state.
versionOptimistic-concurrency token where applicable.
created_at, updated_atISO-8601 timestamps.
validation_errorsArray<{ field, code, message }> returned on 4xx without raising.
correlation_idTrace correlation for log/event streams.
idempotency_keyCaller-supplied; engine refuses duplicate writes within a window.

These are conventions, not a single base interface. Most existing DTOs do not yet expose correlation_id or idempotency_key; those are tagged in Future work below.

Approval DTOs

Today, an approval request is a slice of agents.team_runs. There is no dedicated ApprovalRequest DTO. The shape consumers should treat as the approval payload:

ts
interface ApprovalRequestView {
  request_id: string         // team_run.id
  ai_lenser_id: string
  team_id: string | null
  workflow_id: string | null
  workflow_assignment_id: string | null
  approval_status: 'pending' | 'approved' | 'rejected' | 'not_required'
  metadata: {
    gate_kind?: string
    requested_action?: string
    requester_agent_id?: string
    decision_at?: string
    decision_by_lenser_id?: string
    decision_reason?: string
    decision_modifications?: Record<string, unknown>
  }
  created_at: string
}

See approvals.md for the proposed agents.approval_requests_v view that materializes this shape into a typed projection.

AI Catalog DTOs

fn_ai_catalog_* RPCs return RECORD rows that map to:

ts
interface AIProviderCatalogRow {
  id: string
  key: string
  display_name: string
  base_url: string | null
  docs_url: string | null
  support_level: 'runnable' | 'byok_only' | 'catalog_only' | 'deprecated'
  logo_slug: string | null
  metadata: Record<string, unknown>
  is_active: boolean
}

interface AIModelCatalogRow {
  id: string
  provider_id: string
  provider_key: string
  provider_name: string
  key: string
  name: string
  description: string | null
  docs_url: string | null
  support_level: 'runnable' | 'byok_only' | 'catalog_only' | 'deprecated'
  status: 'active' | 'preview' | 'deprecated' | 'legacy'
  capabilities: string[]
  input_modalities: string[]
  output_modalities: string[]
  context_window_tokens: number | null
  supports_tools: boolean
  supports_json_schema: boolean
  supports_vision: boolean
  supports_streaming: boolean
  use_cases: string[]
  developer_summary: string
  user_summary: string
  metadata: Record<string, unknown>
  is_active: boolean
}

Naming guidance

When adding a new DTO:

AvoidPrefer
DataDtoLensDetailViewModel
PayloadDtoWorkflowRunStateProjection
RequestDtoCreateLensVersionDTO
ResponseDtoCreateAILenserResult

The shape of the operation should be visible from the type name alone.

Future work

Proposed (not yet implemented):

  • ApprovalRequestView as a typed @lenserfight/types export, paired with agents.approval_requests_v.
  • DispatchTeamRunInput / DispatchTeamRunResult — manual dispatch outside CRON.
  • ApprovalDecisionInput{ team_run_id, decision: 'approve' | 'reject' | 'modify_and_approve', reason?, modifications? } for fn_decide_approval.
  • Common envelope fields — start populating correlation_id and idempotency_key on every write DTO, threaded through to the engine for trace correlation.
