API Endpoints

Method	Endpoint	Purpose
GET	/rest/api/v1/actions/{actionPackId}/auth	Get end-user authentication status for an action pack. Reports whether the calling user is already authenticated against the third-party tool backing the specified action pack. Intended for headless / server-driven clients that render an "Authorize" prompt when the user has not yet consented to the tool.
POST	/rest/api/v1/actions/{actionPackId}/auth	Start the OAuth authorization flow for an action pack. Starts the third-party OAuth flow for the specified action pack and returns the redirect URL that the client should navigate the end user to. After the OAuth callback completes, the user's browser is redirected back to `returnUrl` with a status query parameter (`?glean_action_auth=success|error&actionPackId=...`). `returnUrl` must match the tenant's configured return URL allowlist; otherwise the request is rejected with 400.
POST	/rest/api/v1/tools/call	Execute the specified tool Execute the specified tool with provided parameters
GET	/rest/api/v1/tools/list	List available tools Returns a filtered set of available tools based on optional tool name parameters. If no filters are provided, all available tools are returned.
