# Resolve work-workspace requirements

> Compiles explicit provider-neutral requirements or one versioned preset and explains the platform path without allocating, waking, reserving UsageBudget, or contacting a provider. The response returns normalized requirements, the no-compute, SessionSandbox, or Computer class, every considered provider and stable rejection reason, warnings, estimated usage dimensions, portability grade, and manifest-bound digests. Current support resolves conversation-only and existing SessionSandbox intent; Computer intent remains an inspectable refusal until a qualified provider candidate exists. This read authorizes nothing and creation re-evaluates all live authority.

Checkfu support posture: alpha; hosted. Required evidence journey: session-turn. Deployment-specific readiness and the latest proven release are available from GET /v1/support/capabilities.

  description: >-
    Authentication is declared per operation: API-key, runtime, or connector
    bearer; Automation signature; or credential-free pairing redemption. Every
    general Checkfu REST request requires the dated `Checkfu-Version` header
    (one of: 2026-08-27); the three MCP JSON-RPC transports use
    `MCP-Protocol-Version`, A2A uses `A2A-Version`, and the provider OAuth
    callback carries neither Checkfu header. API keys resolve one Workspace
    without a request selector; authenticated responses identify it with
    `Checkfu-Workspace-Id`.
