Purpose and use cases

Modify or cancel one materialized occurrence in a local series

The owning App is Vision Calendar. Calendar owns scheduling resources, workspace and actor bindings, visibility, recurrence, conflict, and concurrency rules.

Business use cases and out-of-scope behavior are not yet declared in the approved OpenAPI description.

Request

POST https://calendar.runonvision.com/calendar/v1/recurrence-commands

Authentication and authorization

Send a Vision-issued bearer token for the exact App audience. The token must include the calendar entitlement and satisfy the calendar workspace reference required binding.

  • Required scope: calendar:recurrence:write

Human roles are not declared in OpenAPI. Record-level and business permission checks remain the owning App's authority.

Headers

  • Authorization: Bearer <access-token> — required.
  • Accept: application/json — recommended where a JSON response is declared.
  • Content-Type: application/json — required for the documented request representation.

Undeclared tracing, idempotency, conditional-request, and version headers are not assumed on this page.

Errors and troubleshooting

Error bodies and codes are shown only where the approved contract declares them. Use status, the declared error schema, and any correlation identifier returned by the App; do not infer that two Apps share one envelope.

  • 400 — Request validation failed
  • 401 — Credential missing or invalid
  • 403 — Credential lacks entitlement, scope, or active binding
  • 404 — No accessible record was found
  • 409 — Time conflict, stale record version, invalid state, or idempotency-key conflict
  • 503 — Database or required configuration unavailable

Collection behavior

Pagination: not declared. Filtering/search: not declared. Sorting: not declared.

Cursor lifetime, cursor binding, stable ordering, maximum traversal, and unknown-filter behavior are not assumed unless stated by a parameter description or schema constraint above.

Operational behavior

  • Rate limit: No operation-specific limit or 429 response is declared.
  • Retry: Retry only when the documented error model or response headers authorize it. Timeout and backoff values are not declared by this operation.
  • Idempotency: No idempotency header or replay window is declared.
  • Concurrency: No ETag, If-Match, or optimistic-version header is declared.

Security and privacy

  • Keep client credentials and bearer tokens on trusted servers.
  • Send only to the exact approved HTTPS origin and audience.
  • Treat response data according to the owning App's classification and retention policy; the OpenAPI contract does not itself grant data access.
  • Do not log credentials, tokens, complete private payloads, or secrets.

Edge cases and known documentation gaps

  • No detailed operation description.
  • The request body has no purpose or conditional-rule description.
  • Business roles, timeout, retry budget, rate value, idempotency window, and concurrency behavior are absent unless explicitly stated above.
