# Get an escalation

> Fetch one escalation session. The `contextPackage` (the handoff bundle) is included ONLY when the requesting connector key is the CLAIMING owner; fetching it as the owner extends the activity-based lease. The bundle is free-form but typically carries `transcriptWindow` (recent turns), `completedActions` / `failedActions` (what the AI already did/attempted), and `verifiedIdentifiers` (identity the AI confirmed) so the human/agent starts fully in context.

  title: Flowyte V2 Control-Plane REST API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    The single REST API for the Flowyte platform (base path `/api/v1`).
    Authenticate every request with a secret API key — `Authorization: Bearer
    flowyte_sk_…` — and each operation lists the scope the key must hold.
    Successful responses use the `ApiResponse<T>` envelope; list responses use
    cursor-based `PaginatedResponse<T>`. Errors are RFC 9457 problem+json.
    Streaming endpoints return Server-Sent Events
    (`event:<type>\ndata:<json>\n\n`, terminating with `event: done`).

      Agent capabilities / tools. A skill is ONE atomic action — typically a
      single API call the agent makes in one step (look up an order, create a
      record, send a message, transfer the call). Use a skill when the task is a
      single step. When a task needs several details gathered across turns
      BEFORE acting, build a Playbook (which gathers the inputs and then calls
      skills) — see the Playbooks tag.

    description: >
      Multi-turn conversation scripts — a node graph (gather → confirm → branch)
      the agent follows to collect several inputs IN ORDER across turns before
      acting. Build a playbook when a single skill call isn't enough because the
      agent must gather MANY details first, or run a SEQUENCE of skills, before
      it can finish (e.g. take a full service request: gather the problem,
      address, and time, confirm, THEN file it; qualify a lead; a multi-step
      intake). A playbook does NOT call an integration itself — it owns the
      conversation and holds the state across turns; the actual action is
      performed by the SKILL(s) it gathers the inputs for. So a playbook
      ORCHESTRATES skills. Rule of thumb — one API call → a Skill; "gather N
      things in order, then submit" → a Playbook that drives the conversation
      and calls the skill(s) at the end.
