A v2 app's ownership transfer (issue #1847): handing the app, and the quota and billing responsibility that come with it, to a different human. This is two steps, and start completing is only the first one. start mints a pending offer and emails the named person an accept link; the app is still owned here when the call returns, stays owned here while the offer is pending, and only moves once that person opens the link and accepts it. Reporting the transfer as done after start would be wrong: check status to see whether it is still pending or has dropped to null (accepted, expired, or withdrawn), and the caller's own agent key stops being able to deploy this app only at the moment it actually moves. Actions: start offers the app to an email address, 409ing if a transfer is already pending or the email already owns the app; status returns the pending transfer, or null if none; cancel withdraws a pending transfer and is idempotent, so cancelling with nothing pending is still a success.
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| action | string | yes | A v2 app's ownership transfer (issue #1847). start does not move ownership: it only mints a pending offer and emails the named person an accept link, and the app stays owned here until they open it and accept (app_id+email; optional keep_as_member). status: the app's pending transfer, or null if none is pending (app_id). cancel: withdraw a pending transfer; idempotent, so cancelling with none pending is still a success (app_id). |
| app_id | string | yes | The app id. |
| string | no | start only. The email to offer ownership to. The relay sends that address an accept link; ownership moves only when they open it and accept, never at start itself. 409s if a transfer is already pending for this app, or if the email already owns it. | |
| keep_as_member | boolean | no | start only. Whether the current owner stays on as an ordinary member once the transfer is accepted, losing owner powers but keeping app access. Defaults to true. Has no effect unless and until the transfer is actually accepted. |
