# List workspaces

> Every workspace your token can reach. One of the few routes with no workspace in its path.

A [workspace](/docs/guides/api-design) isolates resources: agents, tool sets, memory, secrets, objectives. This endpoint tells you which ones the token in your hand can touch.

<CodeGroup>
  ```typescript TypeScript theme={null}
  const workspaces = await client.workspaces.list();

  for await (const w of workspaces) {
    console.log(w.metadata.id, w.metadata.name, w.metadata.externalId);
  }
  // workspace_01KVNB4N15X9F20X40JJNHBJGN Production production
  // workspace_01KVNB4N24PCD0VM9M7ACABZV6 Development development
  ```

  ```go Go theme={null}
  page, err := client.Workspaces.List(ctx, cadenya.WorkspaceListParams{})

  for _, w := range page.Items {
  	fmt.Println(w.Metadata.ID, w.Metadata.Name, w.Metadata.ExternalID)
  }
  // workspace_01KVNB4N15X9F20X40JJNHBJGN Production production
  // workspace_01KVNB4N24PCD0VM9M7ACABZV6 Development development
  ```

  ```ruby Ruby theme={null}
  page = cadenya.workspaces.list

  page.auto_paging_each do |w|
    puts "#{w.metadata.id} #{w.metadata.name} #{w.metadata.external_id}"
  end
  # workspace_01KVNB4N15X9F20X40JJNHBJGN Production production
  # workspace_01KVNB4N24PCD0VM9M7ACABZV6 Development development
  ```

  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl "https://api.cadenya.com/v1/workspaces" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer ${CADENYA_API_KEY}"
  ```
</CodeGroup>

An [API key](/docs/guides/api-design) is account-scoped and reaches only the workspaces it has been granted, which is exactly what this returns.

## Most of the API is workspace-scoped

Sixty-five of the API's eighty-one routes sit under `/v1/workspaces/{workspaceId}/`. Agents, tool sets, objectives, memory, secrets, and schedules all live inside a workspace, which is the isolation boundary between staging and production, or between one tenant and the next.

The rest are account-scoped or identity-scoped:

```
/v1/account                the account, billing, admin
/v1/account/api_keys       credentials, which are account-scoped
/v1/account/workspaces     workspace administration
/v1/account/profiles       people and machines
/v1/whoami                 the profile behind this token
/v1/workspaces             this one
```

Reference pages write paths in full. Prose across the guides drops the `/v1/workspaces/{workspaceId}/` prefix for readability, so `POST /objectives` means `POST /v1/workspaces/{workspaceId}/objectives`.

## The workspace segment takes an external ID

Anywhere a Cadenya ID appears, including the workspace path segment, [your own ID](/docs/guides/use-your-own-ids) works:

```bash theme={null}
curl "https://api.cadenya.com/v1/workspaces/external_id:development/agents" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${CADENYA_API_KEY}"
```

Set `metadata.externalId` on a workspace once and a full URL never mentions a Cadenya ID:

```
/v1/workspaces/external_id:production/agents/external_id:support-bot
```

## Name the workspace, do not infer it

Pick a workspace deliberately. A setup script that discovers one and creates an agent in it is a script that eventually creates an agent in production.

```typescript theme={null}
// Deliberate. Reads the same in every environment.
const workspaceId = 'external_id:production';

await client.agents.create({
  workspaceId,
  metadata: { name: 'Support', externalId: 'support' },
  spec: { variationSelectionMode: 'VARIATION_SELECTION_MODE_WEIGHTED' },
});
```

Pair this endpoint with `/v1/whoami` when a tool needs to show a human which workspaces they can act on, and let them choose.

## Which identity is asking

```typescript theme={null}
const profile = await client.profiles.whoami();

console.log(profile.spec.type);  // 'PROFILE_TYPE_API_KEY'
console.log(profile.spec.name);  // 'Global API Key'
```

A profile is a person or a machine inside an account, and it moves between workspaces without a fresh invite. `whoami` names the one behind the current token.

      Read and erase tenants and the subjects under them. Tenants and subjects
      are
       created by assertion — on objective creation or widget session mint — never
       directly, so this service has no create or update: it exists to enumerate what
       assertions have produced, and to destroy it on request.
  - name: ToolService
    description: >-
      Manage tool sets and the tools they contain. Tool sets group related
      tools,
       and tools define specific capabilities available to agents.

       When a tool set is managed, only API key actors can modify its tools; human
       (profile) actors cannot.

      Issue short-lived presigned URLs for direct client-to-object-storage

       resources that accept binary content (e.g., MemoryEntry).
  - name: WidgetService
    description: |-
      Manage embeddable chat widgets. A widget binds an agent to a globally
       unique hostname with a per-widget origin allowlist; browsers reach it with
       session tokens minted via WidgetSessionService.

      Mint and manage widget sessions. Session creation is server-to-server
      only:

      Administer workspaces across the account: create and archive workspaces

       under /v1/account/workspaces rather than the workspace-scoped /v1/workspaces

        The `Status` type defines a logical error model that is suitable for
        different programming environments, including REST APIs and RPC APIs. It
        is used by [gRPC](https://github.com/grpc). Each `Status` message
        contains three pieces of data: error code, error message, and error
        details. You can find out more about this error model and how to work
        with it in the [API Design
        Guide](https://cloud.google.com/apis/design/errors).
