List Connections

The connection resource allows exposing internal services from your internal infra structure to users.

### Types of Connections

The definition of this resource represent how clients will be able to interact with internal resources.

Each type/subtype may represent a distinct implementation:

- `application/<subtype>` - An alias to map distinct types of shell applications (e.g.: python, ruby, etc)
- `application/tcp` - Forward TCP connections

    This type requires the following environment variables:
    - `HOST`: ip or dns of the internal service
    - `PORT`: the port of the internal service

- `custom` - Any custom shell application
- `database/<subtype>` - Allow connecting to databases through multiple clients (Webapp, cli, IDE's)

Each `<subtype>` has distinct environment variables that are allowed to be configured, refer to our [documentation](https://hoop.dev/docs) for more information.

### Tags

Tags are key/value pairs that are attached to objects such as Connections. Tags are intended to be used to specify identifying attributes of objects that are meaningful and relevant to users, but do not directly imply semantics to the core system.

```json
{
    "connection_tags": {
        "environment": "production",
        "component": "backend"
    }
}
```

Equality- or inequality-based requirements allow filtering by tags keys and values. Matching objects must satisfy all of the specified tag constraints, though they may have additional tags as well. Three kinds of operators are admitted `=`,`!=`. The first represent equality, while the last represents inequality. For example:

```
environment = production
tier != frontend
```

The former selects all resources with key equal to `environment` and value equal to `production`. The latter selects all resources with key equal to `tier` and value distinct from `frontend`. One could filter for resources in production excluding frontend using the comma operator: environment=production,tier!=frontend

The items returns data containing the sum of redact fields performed by a given info type aggregated by the `group_by` attribute.

Session Reports

Get review resource by the id or session id

Get Review

Update the status of a review resource by its resource ID or session ID. This endpoint is used to approve, reject, or revoke reviews for session execution requests.

## Overview

When a user interacts with a session, a review resource is automatically created containing the configured review groups, each initially set to `PENDING` status. **All groups must be approved before the session can be executed.**

The review status updates affect each review group based on the caller's context. Once all groups are `APPROVED`, or if any group becomes `REJECTED` or `REVOKED`, the overall resource status updates accordingly.

## Review Groups

Review groups contain individual review entries that must be completed by authorized users from specific groups. Each entry represents a required approval from a designated reviewer group.

### Initial State

When a review is created, each group entry is populated with the following structure:

```json
{
    "id": "aaa257be-5cc9-401d-ae7e-18ae806d366a",
    "group": "banking",
    "status": "PENDING",
    "reviewed_by": null,
    "review_date": null
}
```

### Completed Review State

After a review is completed, the entry includes the status, review timestamp, and reviewer information:

```json
{
    "id": "a546dfba-d917-4c2b-bc38-7852a7932573",
    "group": "banking",
    "status": "REJECTED",
    "reviewed_by": {
        "id": "17e4ff1a-104c-482c-be68-3c01bfc7028e",
        "name": "John Doe",
        "email": "john.doe@domain.tld",
        "slack_id": ""
    },
    "review_date": "2025-05-27T16:40:05.519754143Z"
}
```

## Review States

### User-Controlled States

These states are set directly by reviewers:

- **`APPROVED`** - The resource has been approved by the reviewer
- **`REJECTED`** - The resource is rejected and cannot be updated further
- **`REVOKED`** - The resource is revoked and cannot be updated further

### System-Controlled States

These states are managed automatically by the gateway:

- **`PENDING`** - Initial state when the review is created
- **`PROCESSING`** - Session is being executed; review cannot be updated
- **`EXECUTED`** - Session completed successfully; review cannot be updated
- **`UNKNOWN`** - Session executed but outcome is indeterminate

## General Rules

### Review Permissions

- Reviews can only be performed when the resource status is `PENDING` or `APPROVED`
- **Resource owners cannot self-approve** - approval requires another member of the same group
- Users are only eligible to review if they are **not the resource owner** or are **administrators**

### Multi-Group Reviews

- If a user belongs to multiple groups, separate review entries are updated for each group
- All group reviews must be completed before session execution

### Status Transitions

- Setting any review to `REJECTED` immediately changes the overall resource status and prevents further updates
- `APPROVED` reviews can still be changed to `REJECTED` or `REVOKED` at any time by the resource owner or administrators
- Once a review reaches `REJECTED` or `REVOKED` the resource is considered as immutable and it cannot be updated again

### Final States

Reviews in `PROCESSING`, `EXECUTED`, or `UNKNOWN` states are immutable and cannot be modified.

This endpoint performs ad-hoc executions. It will wait 50 seconds for a sucessful response (200), otherwise return an Accepted status code (202) meaning the execution will be held asynchronously. The outcome could be obtained later on by fetching the resource using the attribute `id`.

The payload of this request is used with the Connection resource to construct the command to be executed in the remote agent.
- The `script` attribute is passed as stdin to the Connection resource `command` attribute.
- The attribute `client_args` is appended to the suffix of the `command`.

For example, the following connection:

```json
{
  "name": "bash-connection",
  "command": ["/bin/bash"],
  "type": "custom"
}
```

With the following payload:

```json
{
  "script": "echo 'hello world'",
  "client_args": ["-x"],
  "connection": "bash-connection"
}
```

Will perform an ad-hoc shell execution as:

```sh
/bin/bash -x <<EOF
echo 'hello world'
EOF
```


Exec

Get a session by id. This endpoint returns a conditional response

- When the query string `extension` is present it will return a payload containing a link to download the session

```json
{
  "download_url": "http://127.0.0.1:8009/api/sessions/<id>/download?token=<token>&extension=csv&newline=1&event-time=0&events=o,e",
  "expire_at": "2024-07-25T15:56:35.317601Z",
}
```

- Fetching the endpoint without any query string returns the payload documented for this endpoint
- The attribute `event_stream` will be rendered differently if the request contains the query string `event_stream` with the values `utf8` or `base64`.

```json
{
  (...)
  "event_stream": ["hello world"]
  (...)
}
```

The attribute `metrics` contains the following structure:

```json
{
  "data_masking": {
    "err_count": 0,
    "info_types": {
      "EMAIL_ADDRESS": 1
    },
    "total_redact_count": 1,
    "transformed_bytes": 31
  },
  "event_size": 356
}
```
