# List permission asks

> Lists permission asks, by default the pending ones — actions waiting on a human decision. Pending asks also arrive as permission-asked events; this list is the poll/recovery path for clients that reconnect.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /pt/openapi/v3-current/narya.yaml get /v1/permissions
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Narya Host API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    The contract between the Narya host and every client. On your own machine,
    one long-lived host serves this API over a Unix socket in your Narya home.
    The terminal client and the one-shot command that Lerian ships drive this
    API, and a client you write drives the same one.


    Requests authenticate with a bearer token issued by the identity provider
    the host is configured with. On your own machine, the host also accepts a
    request with no token from your own operating system user. Once signed-in
    work has claimed the home for an organization, it does so only while this
    machine is signed in to that organization. Such a request gets 401 with
    NRY-0011 on work that reaches your organization beyond the machine. An
    operation that declares another security scheme also accepts that
    credential. Any other request without a valid credential gets 401 with
    NRY-0011. A caller whose role lacks the permission an operation needs gets
    403 with NRY-0028.


    Submitting a message returns 202 with a turn id. Everything the turn
    produces streams over GET /v1/events as server-sent events with a typed
    envelope, and a stream resumes from a Last-Event-ID header.


    One error envelope: code, title and message. Codes are NRY- followed by four
    digits. Cursors are opaque.
