# /api/v1/instances/[instanceId]/services/enable (management)

Source-derived management endpoint contract, authentication, request validation, responses, and errors.

Source: https://docs.minds.sh/docs/api/platform/reference/management--api-v1-instances-instanceId-services-enable



This is the **management** service route. Its origin and authentication are described in [Platform API overview](/docs/api/platform) and [Authentication](/docs/api/platform/authentication). A path shared by another service is a different endpoint.

| Property                       | Contract                                                                       |
| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Methods                        | POST                                                                           |

| Headers read in route          | No additional direct header reads; authentication helpers may read credentials |

## Authentication and access [#authentication-and-access]

Management auth context: validated x-api-key or configured session authentication; trusted gateway integration may select its auth pipeline. Organization/tenant checks are separate.

## Request and response definitions [#request-and-response-definitions]

The following named definitions are imported or declared by this route. Optional markers, defaults, bounds, and enum values are shown exactly as implemented. A response type is a source contract, not an example populated with real account data.

### EnableServiceRequest [#enableservicerequest]

```typescript
export interface EnableServiceRequest {
  services: ServiceName[];
  strategy?: 'hot-load' | 'new-deployment';
  verifyHealth?: boolean; // Default: true
}
```

Source: `minds-ui/apps/api-service/lib/services/hot-loading-service.ts:38`.

## Method behavior [#method-behavior]

The handler excerpt preserves field validation, response envelopes, cookie changes, and exception branches. Values returned by service helpers retain their named response type above; for passthrough routes, the upstream response is authoritative.

### POST [#post]

```typescript
export async function POST(
  request: NextRequest,
  { params }: { params: Promise<{ instanceId: string }> }
) {
  try {
    // Authenticate request
    const authContext = await resolveAuthContext(request, {
      allowApiKey: true,
      allowSession: true,
    });

    const { instanceId } = await params;
    const body = await request.json();

    // Validate request body
    if (!body.services || !Array.isArray(body.services)) {
      throw new InvalidRequestError('services array required');
    }

    // Get instance to verify tenant access
    const instance = await prisma.serviceInstance.findUnique({
      where: { id: instanceId },
      include: { tenant: true },
    });

    if (!instance || !instance.tenant) {
      return NextResponse.json(
        { error: 'Instance not found' },
        { status: 404 }
      );
    }

    // Ensure tenant access
    await ensureTenantAccess(
      authContext,
      instance.tenant.orgId,
      instance.tenant.ownerId,
      {
        action: 'instance:manage',
        tenantId: instance.tenantId ?? undefined,
        resourceId: instance.id,
        attributes: { operation: 'enable-service' },
      }
    );

    const enableRequest: EnableServiceRequest = {
      services: body.services,
      strategy: body.strategy || 'hot-load',
      verifyHealth: body.verifyHealth !== false,
    };

    // Enable services
    const result = await hotLoadingService.enableServiceOnInstance(
      instanceId,
      enableRequest,
      authContext.userId
    );

    return NextResponse.json(result, { status: result.status === 'completed' ? 200 : 207 });
  } catch (error) {
    if (error instanceof ApiError) {
      return NextResponse.json(
        { error: error.message },
        { status: error.statusCode }
      );
    }

    console.error('[API] Error enabling services:', error);
    return NextResponse.json(
      { error: 'Internal server error' },
      { status: 500 }
    );
  }
}
```
