description: >-
  Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform has a substantial event surface in BOTH directions, but
  publishes no AsyncAPI document for any of it. This artifact catalogs what the OpenAPI
  contracts actually declare: inbound webhook receivers that launch automation, outbound
  notifications that report on it, and the Event-Driven Ansible event ingress that is the
  product's whole reason for existing.
asyncapi_published: false
asyncapi_probe:
  note: >-
    No /asyncapi.json or /asyncapi.yaml is served by any reachable Red Hat/Ansible host, and no
    AsyncAPI document appears in the ansible GitHub organization's AAP repositories. Recorded as
    absent, not fabricated.
inbound_webhooks:
  summary: >-
    Automation Controller job templates and workflow job templates can be triggered by a webhook
    from a source-control provider. The receiver is created per template, and the shared secret
    is minted through the API.
  services:
  - github
  - gitlab
  - bitbucket_dc
  source_field: JobTemplate.webhook_service (enum) in the Controller spec
  key_management:
  - operationId: job_templates_webhook_key_retrieve
    method: GET
    path: /api/v2/job_templates/{id}/webhook_key/
    description: read the current shared secret for this template's webhook receiver
  - operationId: job_templates_webhook_key_create
    method: POST
    path: /api/v2/job_templates/{id}/webhook_key/
    description: rotate the shared secret
  - operationId: workflow_job_templates_webhook_key_retrieve
    method: GET
    path: /api/v2/workflow_job_templates/{id}/webhook_key/
  - operationId: workflow_job_templates_webhook_key_create
    method: POST
    path: /api/v2/workflow_job_templates/{id}/webhook_key/
  status_callback: >-
    JobTemplate.webhook_credential holds a "Personal Access Token for posting back the status to
    the service API" — AAP writes the run result back to the originating SCM provider.
outbound_notifications:
  summary: >-
    Notification templates fire on job start, success and failure and are attached to job
    templates, workflow job templates, inventory sources, projects and organizations.
  transports:
  - webhook
  - slack
  - email
  - pagerduty
  - grafana
  - irc
  - mattermost
  - rocketchat
  - twilio
  - awssns
  source_field: NotificationTemplate.notification_type (enum) in the Controller spec
  operations:
  - notification_templates_list

  - inventory_sources_notification_templates_error_create
  event_types: [started, success, error]
event_driven_ansible:
  summary: >-
    Event-Driven Ansible is the platform's event consumer. Event streams are external ingress
    points; rulebook activations bind an event source to rules that fire actions; audit rules
    record what fired.
  event_streams:
  - operationId: event_streams_list
    method: GET
    path: /event-streams/
  - operationId: event_streams_create
    method: POST
    path: /event-streams/
  - operationId: event_streams_retrieve
    method: GET
    path: /event-streams/{id}/
  - operationId: event_streams_partial_update
    method: PATCH
    path: /event-streams/{id}/
  - operationId: event_streams_destroy
    method: DELETE
    path: /event-streams/{id}/
  - operationId: event_streams_activations_list
    method: GET
    path: /event-streams/{id}/activations/
  event_stream_fields:
    event_stream_type: derived from the attached EDA credential type
    additional_data_headers: comma-delimited list of HTTP headers copied into the event payload
    test_mode: boolean, lets a stream be exercised without firing actions
  activations:
  - activations_create
  - activations_enable_create
  - activations_disable_create
  - activations_restart_create
  - activation_instances_list
  - activation_instances_logs_list
  audit:
  - audit_rules_list
  - audit_rules_actions_list
  - audit_rules_events_list
  note: >-
    The concrete event source types (kafka, webhook, aws sqs, azure service bus, url_check, ...)
    are shipped as the ansible.eda content collection (v2.13.0, 2026-07-07), not as part of the
    REST contract — so the catalog of event types an EDA deployment can consume lives in Galaxy,
    not in the API.
job_event_stream:
  summary: >-
    Job execution itself produces a dense event stream, readable but not pushable.
  operations:
  - jobs_job_events_list
  - ad_hoc_commands_events_list
  - activation_instances_logs_list
  - jobs_stdout_retrieve
  transport: HTTP polling only; no server-sent events or websocket surface is declared in the contract
gaps:
- No AsyncAPI or CloudEvents description of any of the above.
- No documented outbound webhook signature scheme for notification_type=webhook.
- No documented retry/redelivery policy for outbound notifications.
