# Create a mandate

Source: https://immiscible.fly.dev/docs/api/post-api-w-wid-mandates

`POST /api/w/:wid/mandates`

Signed with Ed25519 on creation and recorded. Start from a template with `{ template, agentId }`, or write every field. See [mandates](https://immiscible.fly.dev/docs/concepts/mandates.md).

## Authentication

Session cookie. A signed-in person: the console's session cookie. Every state-changing request also carries the header `x-immiscible-csrf: 1`, and the member's role decides what it may do. Bearer tokens are ignored on these routes, so no machine credential can reach them.

## Path parameters

- `wid` (string, required): Workspace id

## Request

curl:

```bash
curl -X POST "https://immiscible.fly.dev/api/w/$IMMISCIBLE_WORKSPACE/mandates" \
  -H "cookie: __Host-sid=$IMMISCIBLE_SESSION" \
  -H "x-immiscible-csrf: 1" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{
