Kaiten

Unarchive a metadata field

Restores a previously archived metadata field (clears its archived_at). The field re-enters the active schema composition. Returns 409 if an active field already uses the same key for this resource type, or 404 if the field does not exist or is not archived.

POST
/metadata-fields/{id}/unarchive

Authorization

bearerAuth write:metadata_fields
AuthorizationBearer <token>

A JWT verified by the proxy in front of this API, or a Kaiten access token (ksh_...) — send either as Authorization: Bearer <token>. The scopes listed on each operation are the ones the token must carry; write:<module> implies read:<module>, and read:* / write:* are wildcards over every module. x-kaiten-scopes lists every scope such a token can carry, including those enforced by a service in front of this API rather than by one of its operations.

Preview the impact of a metadata field schema change

Computes, server-side, how many existing resources of this field's resource type carry a value under this field's key that would NOT satisfy the supplied candidate JSON Schema, plus a small sample. Read-only — does not mutate the field. Replaces the former client-side dry-run that pulled every resource's metadata.

Metadata Field Archived Webhook

Triggered when a metadata field is archived and leaves the active schema composition.
