}Authorizations
Your Reason API key from Settings > API. New keys use reason_; legacy ara_ keys remain accepted. Keys are capability-scoped: run, mcp:read, mcp:write, secrets:read, secrets:write, sessions:read, sessions:debug, knowledge:read, memory:read, memory:write, skills:read, skills:write, repos:read, repos:write, reviews:read, reviews:write, deployment:read, analytics:read, org:read, org:write, attachments:read, attachments:write, guardrails:read, guardrails:write, automations:read, automations:write, agent_auth:read. mcp:write manages MCP server configuration only; it does not authorize remote MCP-tool execution. sessions:read reads sessions, including the assistant, reasoning and tool activity in their events. sessions:debug is privileged: only for organization owners/admins, it expands session events to the full diagnostic projection (diagnostic event kinds, status text and raw event metadata).
Path Parameters
Organization id or slug. Resolve it with GET /v3/self.
Repository owner (user or organization).
Repository name.
Query Parameters
Source-control provider. GitHub is the only supported provider.
Available options:
github Body
application/json
Per-repository automation guardrails. On update, every property is optional and only the supplied fields change.
Available options:
zero, low, medium, high Require a Reason-authored pull request before an unattended merge.
Require Reason's verification checkpoint to hold before an unattended merge.
Deprecated: use auto_merge_require_reason_authored. Accepted on update (sending both with different values is rejected) and returned with the same value.
Deprecated: use auto_merge_require_reason_verify. Accepted on update (sending both with different values is rejected) and returned with the same value.
Which automated review-bot comments PR Merge Bot reads. ara_review_bot_only is a deprecated spelling of reason_review_bot_only, still accepted on update; responses report reason_review_bot_only.
Available options:
all_review_bots, reason_review_bot_only, ara_review_bot_only Newline-separated glob patterns; changes touching a matching path require a standing human approval before an unattended merge. Lines starting with # are comments.
Maximum total changed lines (additions plus deletions) an unattended merge may carry. 0 disables the limit.
Required range:
x >= 0Delete the source branch after an unattended merge. Fork branches and branches other open pull requests target are never deleted.
