  description: >-
    Authentication is declared per operation: API-key, runtime, or connector
    bearer; Automation signature; bootstrap poll token; or anonymous bootstrap
    creation and credential-free pairing redemption. Every general Checkfu REST
    request requires the dated `Checkfu-Version` header (one of: 2026-08-31);
    the three MCP JSON-RPC transports use `MCP-Protocol-Version`, A2A uses
    `A2A-Version`, and the provider OAuth callback carries neither Checkfu
    header. API keys resolve one Workspace without a request selector;
    authenticated responses identify it with `Checkfu-Workspace-Id`.

      summary: Mint a Computer Screen viewer grant
      description: >-
        Mints one short-lived Screen-bound viewer grant on the existing Computer
        ingress model: a bearer credential returned exactly once, an expiry, a
        mode (readonly never carries input; takeover is the human input lease),
        and the exact https origin the viewer connection must present. The grant
        binds the live Computer generation, control epoch, and Screen control
        epoch, and the Checkfu viewer relay revalidates every one of those
        fences on connect, on reconnect, and on every bounded continuation. The
        response never contains a provider endpoint, preview URL, or upstream
        credential; a conflicting takeover is granted only after old control has
        drained or its bounded lease expired.


        Checkfu support posture: alpha; hosted. No release evidence journey
        applies to this operation.
