# Trigger the audit synthesis pipeline

> Runs Audity's full audit synthesis for the project: downloads documents, extracts text, runs the map-reduce AI synthesis pipeline, saves the resulting `audit_analysis` row, and may queue downstream framework jobs.

**This is a synchronous, long-running call.** Typical duration: 60–300 seconds depending on document volume. The HTTP request will block until completion. For projects that already have current document and interview analyses, short-timeout clients can use `POST /api/agent/projects/{id}/audit-analysis/async` and poll `GET /api/agent/jobs/{jobId}`.

**Cost:** consumes AI compute credits (separate from the 1,000-credit project creation cost).
**Plan required:** an audit-capable write plan.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json post /api/projects/{id}/audit-analysis
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Audity Agent API
  version: 1.0.0
  summary: >-
    The agent-facing surface of Audity AI: projects, leads, Nucleus, and
    account.
  description: >-
    Audity is a B2B SaaS for consultants who run automated business audits. This
    API is the agent-facing slice: a deliberately small set of task-shaped
    endpoints that lets external AI agents (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, n8n) act on
    a consultant's Audity workspace on their behalf.


    **Authentication:** Bearer token (`aky_...`) issued from
    `https://app.auditynow.com/dashboard/settings/api-tokens`. The middleware
    resolves the token to a Clerk user identity; tier and Row-Level Security
    gates apply automatically.


    **Rate limits:** reads 100/min, writes 20/min, async job polling 120/min;
    some expensive or high-volume endpoints have stricter caps. 429 responses
    include `Retry-After`.


    **Tier gating:** public plan names can change faster than API enum names.
    Use `GET /api/user/tier` and any `requiredTier` field in 403 responses as
    the source of truth for a specific account. Read-only or
    lead-generation-focused plans can read available data; audit-capable paid
    plans unlock writes, subject to token scope and credits.
