# Bind a signal set to an agent

POST https://api.runtype.com/v1/signal-bindings
Content-Type: application/json

Evaluate a set version on every matching turn of an agent from now on. Refused for an agent with loggingPolicy "off" and under zero data retention; an organization handling PHI must pass acknowledgeExternalProcessing.

Reference: https://docs.runtype.com/api-reference/runtype-api/signals/bind-a-signal-set-to-an-agent

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — API key or Clerk session token

## Servers

- `https://api.runtype.com` (Production, default)
- `https://api.runtype-staging.com` (Staging)

## Request

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects an object.

- `signalSetId` (string, required)
- `target` (V1SignalBindingsPostRequestBodyContentApplicationJsonSchemaTarget, required) — Native and external (OTLP) agents bind alike.
- `acknowledgeExternalProcessing` (boolean, optional) — Required for a PHI organization whose set uses a decision model outside Cloudflare Workers AI. Written to the audit log.
- `budget` (V1SignalBindingsPostRequestBodyContentApplicationJsonSchemaBudget, optional) — Default $25 a month.
- `coverage` (V1SignalBindingsPostRequestBodyContentApplicationJsonSchemaCoverage, optional)
- `filter` (V1SignalBindingsPostRequestBodyContentApplicationJsonSchemaFilter, optional)
- `uniformShare` (double, optional) — Share drawn uniformly at random BEFORE the filter, so live-traffic rates stay unbiased. Default 0.05.
- `versionNumber` (integer, optional) — Defaults to the set’s current version.

## Response

### 201

Bound

- `binding` (SignalBinding, required)

## Errors

### 400 Bad Request Error

Invalid request

- `error` (string, required)
- `code` (string, optional) — Stable code, e.g. SIGNAL_SET_INVALID or SIGNALS_EXTERNAL_PROCESSING_UNACKNOWLEDGED.
- `details` (map from string to any, optional)
- `requiredScopes` (list of string, optional) — On `insufficient_scope`: every API key scope this request needs.

### 401 Unauthorized Error

Unauthorized

- `error` (string, required)
- `code` (string, optional) — Stable error code. `insufficient_scope` marks an API key that lacks a scope this request needs.

### 403 Forbidden Error

Insufficient permissions, or no organization context

- `error` (string, required)
- `code` (string, optional) — Stable code, e.g. SIGNAL_SET_INVALID or SIGNALS_EXTERNAL_PROCESSING_UNACKNOWLEDGED.
- `details` (map from string to any, optional)
- `requiredScopes` (list of string, optional) — On `insufficient_scope`: every API key scope this request needs.

### 404 Not Found Error

Not found

- `error` (string, required)
- `code` (string, optional) — Stable code, e.g. SIGNAL_SET_INVALID or SIGNALS_EXTERNAL_PROCESSING_UNACKNOWLEDGED.
- `details` (map from string to any, optional)
- `requiredScopes` (list of string, optional) — On `insufficient_scope`: every API key scope this request needs.

### 409 Conflict Error

Conflict, or external processing not yet acknowledged

- `error` (string, required)
- `code` (string, optional) — Stable code, e.g. SIGNAL_SET_INVALID or SIGNALS_EXTERNAL_PROCESSING_UNACKNOWLEDGED.

### 422 Unprocessable Entity Error

Refused: the agent or organization posture forbids signal evaluation

- `error` (string, required)
- `code` (string, optional) — Stable code, e.g. SIGNAL_SET_INVALID or SIGNALS_EXTERNAL_PROCESSING_UNACKNOWLEDGED.
- `details` (map from string to any, optional)
- `requiredScopes` (list of string, optional) — On `insufficient_scope`: every API key scope this request needs.
