Retrieve a local session

GET/v1/compliance/apps/sessions/local/{local_session_id}

Retrieve one local session.

The response is the same session object the list endpoint returns, with user.email_address resolved the same way. Retention is enforced when the response is served: a session whose every inference call has aged out returns 404.

Path parameters

local_session_id: string

Headers

"x-api-key": optional string

Returns

id: string

Local session identifier, prefixed clls_. Unique within the parent organization. Treat as an opaque string; the format may change without notice.

created_at: string

Timestamp of the session's first retained inference call (RFC 3339, UTC). When a session's activity spans the child organization's retention boundary, calls older than the boundary are no longer reflected, so this value is the timestamp of the earliest retained call: always strictly after the boundary, never the boundary itself.

formatdate-time

organization_uuid: string

UUID of the child organization the session belongs to

product_surface: string or null

The product the session ran in: cowork for Cowork sessions in Claude Desktop, or claude_code for Claude Code sessions. New values appear as coverage expands; treat unrecognized values as opaque. null when the surface was not recorded.

type: "compliance_local_session"

defaultcompliance_local_session

updated_at: string

Timestamp of the session's last retained inference call (RFC 3339, UTC). Always at or after created_at. When a session's activity spans the child organization's retention boundary, calls older than the boundary are no longer reflected — but because retention removes only the oldest calls, this value (unlike created_at) is unaffected until the entire session has aged out. On the list endpoint this value is a lower bound: for a session still active at a page or created_at.lt window boundary it can momentarily lag the session's true last activity. Retrieving the session, or its messages, always reflects the exact latest retained call.

formatdate-time

user: object{ id, email_address }

The authenticated user at the time of the session. Always set; user.id is always populated. user.email_address is null when the user's account has been deleted or the user is no longer a member of an organization the key may read.

id: string

User identifier (tagged ID, prefixed user_). Always set, so attribution survives after the user's account is deleted or the user leaves the organizations the key may read.

email_address: string or null

User's email address. Null when the user's account has been deleted or the user is no longer a member of an organization the key may read. The messages endpoint does not resolve email addresses; this field is always null there.

workspace_id: string or null

Workspace identifier (tagged ID, prefixed wrkspc_). Null for sessions not attributed to a workspace.
