Organization

The organization itself: plan, licences, protection and archive state, notification settings, and its AI connections and API keys.

GET/v1/organization

The organization the credential belongs to: plan, licences, seats, protection and archive state.

Read · org:readMCP tool: get_organizationRead-only

Returns the organization this credential was issued in — the only one it can ever reach. It says whether Cerber is protecting the accounts now (protection_active), the plan and licences in brief, how many seats are used and free, whether the archive password is set and what the plan allows the archive to do, and whether the takeover lockdown is on.

Every role may call it. get_subscription has the full subscription, get_status the health of protection and saving.

Errors: organization_closed (403) when the organization has been wound down.

GET/v1/ai-connections

The organization's AI connections (Developer tokens and connected AI apps) and API keys.

Read · org:readMCP tool: list_ai_connectionsRead-only

Lists every credential that reaches this organization's data from outside the console:

connections — Developer MCP tokens and AI apps connected through the consent screen (Claude, ChatGPT, …), with the accounts each may read and whether the archive password is stored with it. A role that may not read the archive sees only the AI apps it connected itself. client.known names Claude or ChatGPT only when the code went to their official callback address; any other app is named by its host.
api_keys — API keys of this API, with their scopes.

The owner and superadmins see every credential of the organization, with its owner's email; any other role sees its own. Revoked and expired credentials are listed too, with revoked_at and expires_at. No secret is ever returned.

Accounts

The Telegram accounts the organization protects, one per seat, with their protection and archive state.

GET/v1/accounts

The Telegram accounts of the organization, with protection status and archive summary.

Read · org:readMCP tool: list_protected_accountsRead-only

Lists the Telegram accounts the organization has connected — protected, paused and offboarded ones alike — in the console's order, with each account's protection status and a summary of its archive.

Filter by status or department_id; page with limit and starting_after (the last id of the previous page).

An admin or archive role reaches only the accounts granted to it; any other account answers resource_missing (404), exactly as an id from another organization would, so the API never confirms that an account exists.

Not to be confused with the MCP archive tool list_accounts, which lists the accounts an AI connection may read in the archive.

GET/v1/accounts/{account_id}

One account in full: protection, monitoring, its Telegram sessions and their review state.

Read · org:readMCP tool: get_accountRead-only

Returns one account with everything the console's account page shows: the protection status, the licence it uses, the archive summary and — for a role that manages devices (owner, superadmin, admin) — Cerber's monitoring of it, every Telegram session signed in to it with whether an admin approved it and when an unapproved one will be signed out (review_deadline), the sessions that ended recently, and the takeover and security locks. For the billing and archive roles those device fields are left out, as in the console.

GET/v1/accounts/{account_id}/telegram-profile

The account's Telegram profile and security settings, read live from Telegram.

Read · org:readMCP tool: get_account_telegram_profileRead-only

Reads the account's profile from Telegram now, through Cerber's session on it: name, username, bio, profile photo, the masked login and recovery emails, whether a 2FA password and a passkey are set and whether Cerber manages them, and the state of Cerber's second (paired) session.

Owner, superadmin and admin roles only (role_forbidden, 403, otherwise). An admin or archive role reaches only the accounts granted to it; any other account answers resource_missing (404), exactly as an id from another organization would, so the API never confirms that an account exists. An account with no live Cerber session answers no_session (409).

PATCH/v1/accounts/{account_id}/telegram-profile

Changes the account's Telegram first name, last name or bio.

Write · accounts:writeMCP tool: update_telegram_profile

Changes the account's own Telegram profile, as everyone in Telegram sees it. A field left out is left as it is. The bio is limited to bio_limit characters (70, or 140 with Telegram Premium); Telegram refuses a longer one.

Side effects: the change is made on the employee's real Telegram account; the journal records it. Acts through Cerber's session on the account: an account with no live Cerber session answers no_session (409); re-login it first (start_account_relogin). Owner, superadmin and admin roles only, as in the console: billing and archive get role_forbidden (403). An admin role reaches only the accounts granted to it; any other account answers resource_missing (404), exactly as an id from another organization would.

POST/v1/accounts/{account_id}/pause

Stops watching the account without signing Cerber out of it; resuming needs no login.

Write · accounts:writeMCP tool: pause_protection

Pauses protection of an active account: Cerber keeps its session on the account but stops reviewing sessions and signing anything out, and sends the employee nothing. The account keeps its licence. Resume with resume_protection — instantly, without a login. Not the same as offboard_account, which ends Cerber's session and frees the seat.

Errors: not_active (409) for an account that is not active (already paused, offboarded). Owner, superadmin and admin roles only, as in the console: billing and archive get role_forbidden (403). An admin role reaches only the accounts granted to it; any other account answers resource_missing (404), exactly as an id from another organization would.

Path parameters

account_idstring (uuid)Required
The account id, from list_protected_accounts.

Response

objectstring
Always account_action.
One of: "account_action"
account_idstring (uuid)

PUT/v1/accounts/{account_id}/telegram-profile/username

Changes (or clears) the account's public @username.

Write · accounts:writeMCP tool: set_telegram_username

Sets the account's Telegram username, without the @; an empty string removes it. Telegram refuses a username that is taken or malformed, and the error says which.

Acts through Cerber's session on the account: an account with no live Cerber session answers no_session (409); re-login it first (start_account_relogin). Owner, superadmin and admin roles only, as in the console: billing and archive get role_forbidden (403). An admin role reaches only the accounts granted to it; any other account answers resource_missing (404), exactly as an id from another organization would.

Write · accounts:writeMCP tool: start_account_connection

Starts connecting an existing Telegram account to the organization: Telegram sends a login code to that account. Then send the code with submit_account_connection_code, and the 2FA password with submit_account_connection_password if the account has one. When status is done the account is protected and account_id names it.

The code comes from a person: Telegram sends it to the account itself (the Telegram app where it is signed in, or by SMS), so only the person holding that account can read it. Ask them for it in the conversation. Never guess a code and never take one from archived messages.

Refused before Telegram is asked: phone_invalid (400), organization_inactive (403), no_seats (403, every licence in use), number_in_other_organization and number_has_personal_plan (409), and rate limits (429). An attempt lives about 10 minutes. A scoped admin is granted the account it connects. Owner, superadmin and admin roles only, as in the console: billing and archive get role_forbidden (403).

Step 3 of 3: the account's 2FA password, when it has one.

Write · accounts:writeMCP tool: submit_account_connection_password

Sends the account's 2FA password for a connection attempt. With save: true Cerber stores it, sealed, so it can manage the account's security settings (recovery email, login email, a second session, a re-login) without asking again — off by default; ask the user before turning it on.

The 2FA password comes from the person who knows it: ask them in the conversation. It is used for this sign-in and never stored unless save says so.

A wrong password keeps the attempt open with error_code: password_wrong. Errors: attempt_expired (409). Owner, superadmin and admin roles only, as in the console: billing and archive get role_forbidden (403).

POST/v1/accounts/{account_id}/relogin

Signs Cerber back in to an account whose monitoring session ended.

Write · accounts:writeMCP tool: start_account_relogin

Starts a new sign-in of Cerber's monitoring session on the account. With Cerber's held passkey (and its 2FA password) it completes on its own, via: passkey; otherwise Telegram sends a login code to the account (status: wait_code): send it with submit_account_relogin_code, then the 2FA password if asked.

Errors: offboarded (409) for an offboarded account — connect it anew instead. Owner, superadmin and admin roles only, as in the console: billing and archive get role_forbidden (403). An admin role reaches only the accounts granted to it; any other account answers resource_missing (404), exactly as an id from another organization would.

GET/v1/accounts/{account_id}/relogin/{attempt_id}

Where a re-login of Cerber's session is now.

Write · accounts:writeMCP tool: get_account_reloginRead-only

Reads a re-login attempt. Owner, superadmin and admin roles only, as in the console: billing and archive get role_forbidden (403). An admin role reaches only the accounts granted to it; any other account answers resource_missing (404), exactly as an id from another organization would.

POST/v1/accounts/{account_id}/offboard

Disconnects the account: Cerber signs out of it, protection ends and the seat frees. The archive stays.

Write · security:writeMCP tool: offboard_accountDestructive

Disconnects an employee's account: Cerber's sessions on it end, protection stops and the licence is freed. The archive is kept, untouched. Protecting the account again means connecting it anew. To stop protection for a while instead, use pause_protection; to delete the archive too, delete_account.

Side effects: Cerber signs out of the employee's real Telegram account; the employee is told on Telegram; the journal records employee.offboarded.

Confirm with the user before calling.

POST/v1/accounts/{account_id}/delete

Removes the account from the organization entirely: protection, Cerber's session, the archive. Irreversible.

Write · archive:deleteMCP tool: delete_accountDestructive

Deletes the account completely: protection ends, Cerber signs out of it, its whole archive is erased and the account disappears from the organization. The Telegram account itself is untouched. To keep the archive, use offboard_account instead.

confirm_phrase must be the account's name or its phone number, typed by the person — as in the console; anything else answers confirm_mismatch (400).

Side effects: the employee is told on Telegram; the journal records employee.deleted and keeps the account's name.

Confirm with the user before calling.

Owner, superadmin and admin roles (role_forbidden, 403, otherwise). An admin role reaches only the accounts granted to it; any other account answers resource_missing (404), exactly as an id from another organization would. Refused under a legal hold (legal_hold, 409) and where archive objects cannot be deleted (archive_delete_unavailable, 503).

Path parameters

account_idstring (uuid)Required
The account id, from list_protected_accounts.

Request body

Sessions

The Telegram sessions signed in to each account, and approving or signing them out.

POST/v1/accounts/{account_id}/sessions/{session_id}/approve

Marks a session on the account as the employee's own, so Cerber does not sign it out.

Write · accounts:writeMCP tool: approve_session

Approves one Telegram session signed in to the account: Cerber stops its review clock and withdraws a sign-out that was queued for it. Use it for a device the employee confirms is theirs.

Side effects: the employee gets a receipt on their Telegram; the journal records session.approved.

Owner, superadmin and admin roles only, as in the console: billing and archive get role_forbidden (403). An admin role reaches only the accounts granted to it; any other account answers resource_missing (404), exactly as an id from another organization would. A session id the account's last listing does not show answers 400; Cerber's own monitoring session (0) cannot be reviewed.

Path parameters

account_idstring (uuid)Required
The account id, from list_protected_accounts.
session_idstringRequired
The session id, from sessions[].id of get_account.

Response

POST/v1/accounts/{account_id}/sessions/{session_id}/sign-out

Ends one Telegram session on the account now, or as soon as Telegram allows.

Write · security:writeMCP tool: sign_out_sessionDestructive

Withdraws the session's approval and signs it out of the account through Cerber's session. Telegram refuses sign-outs from a session younger than 24 hours: during the first 24 hours after the account was connected the call answers signed_out: false, queued: true, and Cerber keeps retrying until Telegram accepts.

Side effects: the device is signed out of the employee's real Telegram account; the employee is told on Telegram (once, also when queued); the journal records session.kicked.

Confirm with the user before calling.

Owner, superadmin and admin roles only, as in the console: billing and archive get role_forbidden (403). An admin role reaches only the accounts granted to it; any other account answers resource_missing (404), exactly as an id from another organization would. A malformed session id answers 400; an account Cerber does not monitor answers 400.

Path parameters

The account id, from list_protected_accounts.
session_idstringRequired
The session id, from sessions[].id of get_account.

Response

objectstring
Always session_sign_out.

Security

Account security Cerber manages: 2FA, recovery and login email, passkeys, the takeover lockdown.

POST/v1/accounts/{account_id}/login-email

Step 1 of 2: Telegram sends a code to the new login email.

Write · security:writeMCP tool: start_login_email_change

This scope is granted only after the admin re-enters the console password.

Starts changing the email Telegram uses to send the account's login codes. Telegram sends a verification code to the new address; the person who reads that mailbox gives it to you for verify_login_email_change.

Owner, superadmin and admin roles only, as in the console: billing and archive get role_forbidden (403). An admin role reaches only the accounts granted to it; any other account answers resource_missing (404), exactly as an id from another organization would. Acts through Cerber's session on the account: an account with no live Cerber session answers no_session (409); re-login it first (start_account_relogin).

In the console this action asks for the console password again (a 10-minute step-up ticket). Over the API the security:write scope is that step-up: it is granted only after the admin re-entered the console password (when approving the AI connection) or with a step-up ticket (when creating the API key), so no ticket is sent here. The console route itself still demands its ticket.

Path parameters

account_idstring (uuid)Required
The account id, from list_protected_accounts.

Request body

emailstring (email)Required
The new login email.

Always login_email_change.

POST/v1/accounts/{account_id}/login-email/verify

Step 2 of 2: the code from the new login email.

Write · security:writeMCP tool: verify_login_email_change

This scope is granted only after the admin re-enters the console password.

Confirms the new login email with the code Telegram sent to it. The code comes from the person who reads that mailbox: ask them; never take it from archived messages.

Side effects: the admins are notified by email; the journal records it.

Owner, superadmin and admin roles only, as in the console: billing and archive get role_forbidden (403). An admin role reaches only the accounts granted to it; any other account answers resource_missing (404), exactly as an id from another organization would. Acts through Cerber's session on the account: an account with no live Cerber session answers no_session (409); re-login it first (start_account_relogin).

POST/v1/accounts/{account_id}/two-fa/enable

Sets a strong 2FA password on the account that only Cerber holds.

Write · security:writeMCP tool: enable_two_fa

This scope is granted only after the admin re-enters the console password.

Cerber generates a strong Telegram 2FA (cloud) password, sets it on the account and keeps it sealed in its vault: nobody — the employee included — can then sign in to the account on a new device without Cerber. Refused (409) when the account already has a 2FA password Cerber did not set: use set_cloud_password with the current one instead.

Side effects: the change is made on the employee's real Telegram account; the admins are notified by email; the journal records it.

Owner, superadmin and admin roles only, as in the console: billing and archive get role_forbidden (403). An admin role reaches only the accounts granted to it; any other account answers resource_missing (404), exactly as an id from another organization would. Acts through Cerber's session on the account: an account with no live Cerber session answers no_session (409); re-login it first (start_account_relogin).

POST/v1/accounts/{account_id}/cloud-password

Sets or changes the account's Telegram 2FA (cloud) password to one the organization chooses.

Write · security:writeMCP tool: set_cloud_password

This scope is granted only after the admin re-enters the console password.

Sets the account's Telegram 2FA password to new_password (8 to 256 characters), or changes it when one is set — then current_password is needed unless Cerber holds the current one. With keep: true Cerber stores the new password sealed, so it can keep managing the account's security; off by default.

The new password passes through this conversation: say so to the user, and prefer enable_two_fa (Cerber generates one nobody sees) when they do not need to know it.

Side effects: the change is made on the employee's real Telegram account; the admins are notified by email; the journal records two_fa.password_set or two_fa.password_changed. Errors: password_weak, hint_is_password (400), security_change_in_progress (409).

Owner, superadmin and admin roles only, as in the console: billing and archive get role_forbidden (403). An admin role reaches only the accounts granted to it; any other account answers resource_missing (404), exactly as an id from another organization would. Acts through Cerber's session on the account: an account with no live Cerber session answers no_session (409); re-login it first (start_account_relogin).

POST/v1/accounts/{account_id}/cloud-password/remove

Turns the account's Telegram 2FA password off.

Write · security:writeMCP tool: remove_cloud_passwordDestructive

This scope is granted only after the admin re-enters the console password.

Removes the account's 2FA password, and with it the recovery email. Anyone with a login code can then sign in to the account. current_password is needed unless Cerber holds the password. Confirm with the user before calling.

POST/v1/accounts/{account_id}/passkey/enable

Registers a passkey on the account that Cerber holds, for re-logins without a code.

Write · security:writeMCP tool: enable_passkey

Registers a passkey on the Telegram account and keeps its private key sealed in Cerber's vault, so Cerber's session can be restored later without anybody relaying a login code. Telegram lets a session add a passkey only 24 hours after it signed in: before that the call is refused with fresh_session (409, with eligibleAt) and passkey_eligible_at in get_account_telegram_profile says from when.

Owner, superadmin and admin roles only, as in the console: billing and archive get role_forbidden (403). An admin role reaches only the accounts granted to it; any other account answers resource_missing (404), exactly as an id from another organization would. Acts through Cerber's session on the account: an account with no live Cerber session answers no_session (409); re-login it first (start_account_relogin).

PUT/v1/security/lockdown

Whether a takeover attempt makes Cerber sign the account's other sessions out, or only alert.

Write · security:writeMCP tool: set_takeover_lockdown

Turns the organization-wide takeover lockdown on or off. On, when Cerber sees a takeover attempt on an account (the 2FA password or login email changed outside the console, Cerber's session removed) it signs every other session out and locks the account until an admin clears it; off, it alerts only.

Side effects: the admins are notified by email; the journal records it. Owner and superadmins only, as in the console: anyone else gets superadmin_required (403).

Request body

POST/v1/accounts/{account_id}/paired-session

Signs a second Cerber session in to the account, so protection survives losing the first.

Write · security:writeMCP tool: start_paired_session

Creates Cerber's second (paired) session on the account, signed in through the first one: nobody relays a code. If the account has a 2FA password Cerber does not hold, send it as password (or later with submit_paired_session_password when status is wait_password); it is used for this sign-in only. Follow with get_paired_session_setup until done.

Owner, superadmin and admin roles only, as in the console: billing and archive get role_forbidden (403). An admin role reaches only the accounts granted to it; any other account answers resource_missing (404), exactly as an id from another organization would. Acts through Cerber's session on the account: an account with no live Cerber session answers no_session (409); re-login it first (start_account_relogin).

Path parameters

DELETE/v1/accounts/{account_id}/paired-session

Signs Cerber's second session out of the account.

Write · security:writeMCP tool: remove_paired_sessionDestructive

Signs Cerber's second (paired) session out of the account. Protection then rests on the first session alone. Confirm with the user before calling. The journal records session.paired_removed.

Owner, superadmin and admin roles only, as in the console: billing and archive get role_forbidden (403). An admin role reaches only the accounts granted to it; any other account answers resource_missing (404), exactly as an id from another organization would. Acts through Cerber's session on the account: an account with no live Cerber session answers no_session (409); re-login it first (start_account_relogin).

Departments

Groups of accounts, and which admins and connections reach them.

PUT/v1/accounts/{account_id}/department

Moves one account into a department, or out of every department.

Write · accounts:writeMCP tool: set_account_department

Files the account under the department, or under none with department_id: null. Who reaches the account through department access changes with it: admins and AI connections scoped to the old department lose it, those of the new one gain it. Use preview_department_move first to see who.

The owner and superadmins move any account; a scoped admin only between departments granted to it, accounts it reaches (department_add_forbidden / department_remove_forbidden, 403), and a move that would widen anybody else's access needs the owner (department_move_needs_owner, 403). Unknown department: no_department (404). Owner, superadmin and admin roles only, as in the console: billing and archive get role_forbidden (403). An admin role reaches only the accounts granted to it; any other account answers resource_missing (404), exactly as an id from another organization would.

Path parameters

account_idstring (uuid)Required
The account id, from list_protected_accounts.

Request body

Response

Emails someone an invitation to the console, with a role and the accounts they may reach.

Creates an admin and emails them an invitation link (valid for 7 days) to set a password or sign in with Google.

For admin and archive, account_ids and department_ids say which accounts they reach.

Side effects: an email goes to the address; the journal records admin.invited.

PUT/v1/admins/{admin_id}/role

Gives an admin another role.

Write · admins:writeMCP tool: set_admin_role

Sets the admin's role: superadmin (everything but ownership), admin (the accounts granted to it: devices, security, archive), billing (the subscription only) or archive (reads the archive of the accounts granted to it). The owner's role cannot be changed (ownership is handed over with transfer_ownership), and nobody can be made owner here. Their next request already runs under the new role.

Owner and superadmins only, as in the console: anyone else gets superadmin_required (403). An organization always keeps one active superadmin and its owner: demoting, disabling or removing either is refused (400). An admin of another organization, or none, answers resource_missing (404).

Path parameters

POST/v1/admins/{admin_id}/transfer-ownership

Hands ownership of the organization to another admin. The owner becomes a superadmin.

Write · admins:writeMCP tool: transfer_ownershipDestructive

Needs the owner's current password in the request.

Makes another admin the owner; the caller, who must be the owner, becomes a superadmin. Afterwards only the new owner can hand it back. A disabled target is enabled.

current_password is the owner's console password, required in every call exactly as the panel asks for it: no scope stands in for it. A wrong one answers 400 and counts against the same wrong-password lockout as signing in; once locked, the call answers step_up_locked (403) until the lockout ends. Confirm with the user before calling.

Errors: owner_required (403) for anyone but the owner, owner_conflict (409) when ownership changed meanwhile. An admin of another organization, or none, answers resource_missing (404).

Path parameters

admin_idstring (uuid)Required
The admin id, from list_admins.

Request body

PUT/v1/archive/rules

Replaces the organization's archive rules: what the archive keeps of each chat.

Write · accounts:writeMCP tool: set_archive_rules

Replaces the organization's whole rule set (read it first with get_archive_rules and send it back changed). The most specific rule naming a chat wins: chat, then folder, then category, then default. A chat whose rule is none is not archived at all from now on; what was archived before stays until a cleanup deletes it. With no rules every chat is archived in full.

Side effects: every account's rules are re-applied; the journal records archive.retention_changed.

Owner and superadmins only, as in the console: anyone else gets superadmin_required (403). Malformed rules answer bad_rules (400) with what is wrong.

GET/v1/accounts/{account_id}/archive/rules

The organization's rules, this account's exceptions, and the rule in force for each of its chats.

Read · archive:readMCP tool: get_account_archive_rulesRead-only

Returns the rules that decide what the archive keeps of one account: the organization's, the account's own exceptions to them, and per chat the rule in force now, which rule decided it (source) and why (reason_code). Chats waiting for a decision have review: true.

Write · accounts:writeMCP tool: set_account_archive_rules

Replaces the account's exceptions to the organization's rules (the account part of get_account_archive_rules). Send an empty object to drop every exception, so the account follows the organization's rules. Per-chat changes are easier with set_account_chat_rules.

Owner and superadmins only, as in the console: anyone else gets superadmin_required (403). An unknown account answers resource_missing (404).

Journal

The organization's audit trail.

GET/v1/journal

The organization's audit trail, newest first.

Read · org:readMCP tool: list_journal_eventsRead-only

Returns the journal newest first: sign-ins and approvals, sessions signed out, archive runs, admin and billing changes, AI connections. Page back with before_id (the id of the oldest event of the previous page), or start from a moment with before.

What each role sees is what it sees in the console: the owner and superadmins everything; an admin or archive role the events of its accounts and the organization-wide events it caused itself; the archive role only archive, backup and AI-connection events; the billing role only billing and organization events, without operator notes.

A change made through this API or an AI connection carries detail.credential — the kind and id of the credential and whether it came through REST or MCP.

Query parameters

How many events per page, 1 to 200.
1 to 200 · Default 50
beforestring (date-time)Optional

Billing

The subscription, licences, storage and invoices.

GET/v1/billing/subscription

Plan, licences per tier, storage, trial and the archive's lifecycle.

Read · org:readMCP tool: get_subscriptionRead-only

Returns the subscription as the console's Subscription page shows it: the plan and period, licences per tier and how many are assigned, storage included and bought, a trial or a failed payment being retried, changes scheduled for the end of the period, and the archive's lifecycle (how long it stays readable after a plan ends, and when it would be deleted).

Every role may read it. For roles that cannot change the subscription (anyone but the owner, superadmins and billing) the answer is reduced (reduced: true): no prices, payment method, payer, partner offer or payment in progress.

This API changes no money: buying, upgrading, adding storage, paying and cancelling happen in the console, where the person signs off on the price themselves. That is deliberate — an AI connection executing payments is what Anthropic's connector directory policy (§4A) singles out — so get_billing_links answers the console pages to open instead.

Status

Whether protection and saving are working, as the status page shows it.

GET/v1/status

Whether monitoring and archiving work for this organization, from what is true for its accounts.

Read · org:readMCP tool: get_statusRead-only

The status page: whether protection is on, how many accounts Cerber's monitoring is getting through to, how archive runs are doing, and how many accounts are saving new messages — with the reasons for those that are not (saving.reasons). Computed from this organization's accounts, not from a global health flag: an organization whose every account has stalled reads as stopped whatever the rest of the fleet does.

An admin or archive role sees the accounts granted to it. Storage (archive_pool) is included for the roles that manage billing.
