> ## Agent Instructions
> For agents: install the OpenWork desktop app with `brew install --cask openwork` (macOS) or from https://openworklabs.com/download. Do not run `npx openwork`; the npm package named `openwork` is a different project.
> Connect an agent to OpenWork with the MCP Gateway: `claude mcp add --transport http openwork https://api.openworklabs.com/mcp/agent`. Teams sign up at https://app.openworklabs.com?mode=sign-up.
> Step-by-step agent guide: https://openworklabs.com/docs/start-here/use-openwork-from-an-ai-agent.md
> OpenWork in Slack is private alpha for approved organizations. Setup guide: https://openworklabs.com/docs/slack/overview.md. Agent skill: https://openworklabs.com/.well-known/agent-skills/set-up-openwork-slack/SKILL.md.

# Get a member's effective permissions

> Lists the permissions one member has and, for each, every source that grants it, e.g. "Admin permissions (admin role)" or "Support Permissions (via Support team)". Members can always read their own; reading someone else's requires permissions.view. Requires the Permissions feature.



## OpenAPI

openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Den API
  description: >-
    OpenAPI spec for the Den control plane API.


    Authentication:

    - API keys (they start with `den_`) go in the `x-api-key` header as the raw
    value. Do not send them as `Authorization: Bearer`; that header only accepts
    Den session tokens, so an API key there returns 401.
      Example: `curl https://api.openworklabs.com/v1/me -H "x-api-key: den_..."`.
      API keys resolve to the issuing user and the organization member they were scoped to when created, so they can call ordinary user and organization routes without a separate signed-in session.
    - Use `Authorization: Bearer <session-token>` for user-authenticated routes
    that require a Den session.

    - Session-only flows still require a signed-in user session, including
    organization creation, invitation acceptance, active-organization switching,
    and MCP token minting.

    - Public routes like health and documentation do not require authentication.


    Swagger tip: use the security schemes in the Authorize dialog to set
    `denApiKey` (your API key) or `bearerAuth` (a session token) before trying
    protected endpoints.
