# Reject an action (in-app card)

> Reject a pending `require_approval` action. The deferred tool is not
executed; a denial note is appended to the originating session.

**How this differs from `POST /api/approvals/{approvalId}/reject`:** no
`agents:approve` scope is required (`requireAuth` only, so sessions, API
keys, PATs and OAuth tokens all work), and an already-resolved approval
answers `400 ALREADY_RESOLVED` instead of `409`.

The rejection path is the least-strict branch of the shared approval
policy — the requester may always withdraw their own action.




## OpenAPI

````yaml https://api.nexspace365.com/api/openapi.json post /api/ai/actions/{id}/reject
openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: NexSpace 365 API
  description: >
    Multi-industry enterprise workforce management platform — scheduling, HR,

    payroll, CRM, AI, and messaging suites.


    ## Authentication

    Four credentials, all but the first sent as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`:

    session cookie, JWT bearer, API key (`nex_live_…` / `nex_test_…` /

    `nex_pat_…`), and OAuth 2.1 access token. AI agents should use an API key or

    an OAuth token with the appropriate scopes.


    ## Authorization

    Endpoints require specific permissions via the RBAC system:

    - **Internal team**: Full platform access

    - **Facility users**: Scoped to their org/facilities

    - **Staff**: Limited to own data


    ## Error Contract

    All errors return `{ error: { message, code?, suggestion?, retryable? },
    requestId? }`.

    The `suggestion` field hints at how to fix the request; `retryable` signals
    whether

    retry-with-backoff is appropriate.


    ## Versioning

    Pin your integration to a specific API version via the `NexSpace-Version`
    header

    (date-based, e.g. `2026-05-10`). When absent, the latest version is assumed.

    Deprecated versions include `Sunset` and `Deprecation` headers. Discovery at

    `GET /.well-known/api-versions`.


    ## Idempotency

    Write operations (POST/PUT/PATCH) accept an `Idempotency-Key` header. If

    the same key + body combination is sent again within 24 hours, the original

    response is replayed. Different body with the same key returns 409 Conflict.


    ## MCP (Model Context Protocol)

    AI agents interact via `POST /mcp` using JSON-RPC 2.0. Call `tools/list` to

    discover available verbs, then `tools/call` to invoke them.


    MCP is served on its own host — `https://mcp.nexspace365.com`, not the API

    host. `api.nexspace365.com` rejects `/mcp`, `/mcp/*` and `/.well-known/mcp`

    with `403 MCP_HOST_NOT_ALLOWED`, and those operations pin the correct host

    with an operation-level `servers` override. The

    `/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource*` operations are also tagged MCP but

    are **not** covered by the host guard — they answer on either host.

        Authorization is decided by the key's `scopes` array, not the
        owning user's RBAC role. See `POST /api/api-keys` to mint a key.
