Quickstart

Step 1 — Apply for access

Go to layer3x.com and click Apply for Access. We’ll review your application and send you access within 24 hours.

Step 2 — Register your agent

Once inside the platform:

Go to Agents → Register Agent
Enter a name, select a risk tier, assign a control owner
Copy the API key shown — it is displayed only once

Store your API key securely. It cannot be retrieved after creation — only rotated.

Step 3 — Make your first authorization call

curl -X POST https://api.layer3x.com/v1/authorize \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-Agent-API-Key: YOUR_AGENT_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "action_key": "payments.release",
    "payload": {
      "amount": 200,
      "vendor": "Acme Corp",
      "currency": "USD"
    }
  }'

Step 4 — Read the response

{
  "request_id": "3a1b2c3d-...",
  "decision": "ALLOW",
  "reason": "Auto-approved by policy",
  "matched_policy": "Auto-approve small payments",
  "risk_score": 32,
  "status": "auto_approved",
  "message": "Action authorized — proceed with execution",
  "expires_at": "2026-03-29T00:00:00Z"
}

A decision of ALLOW means GO — your agent can proceed. ESCALATE means a human approver must review before execution. DENY means the action is blocked.

Step 5 — Check your dashboard

Go to Requests in your Layer3x dashboard. You’ll see your authorization request logged with the full decision trail — policy matched, risk score, timestamp, and agent identity.

You’ve made your first authorized payment request. Every request from this point is governed, logged, and auditable.
