# Call assistant_settings.status

> Say how the assistant is set up for this account — 'why is Goosy behaving like this?', 'what instructions does it have?', 'what are my assistant settings?'.  Read which agents this account has standing instructions for (not the wording) and the assistant preferences in effect, with the layer each value came from. Use it to explain why the assistant is behaving as it is. You cannot change an instruction or a preference. Not for the member's own look and tier — that is `shell.describe_settings`.

    BETA. This API is in beta: paths, request shapes and response envelopes may
    change, and every response carries an `x-goosy-api: beta` header for as long
    as that is true. A change is additive, or it is deprecated first: a response
    to a call that uses a deprecated feature carries `Deprecation` and `Sunset`
    headers, and nothing is removed until at least 90 days after its
    deprecation. Pin the OpenAPI document you generated against and re-generate
    when it changes.

                formed, otherwise one generated for you. Quote it to support; it
                is recorded on every audit row the call wrote.

        A request the boundary refused before dispatching anything. The same
        shape the MCP endpoint answers its own refusals with, and the same
        top-level fields a dispatched call's refusal carries, so one client
        branch covers both.

      description: >-
        An API key minted at Settings › API & MCP. Send it as `Authorization:
        Bearer <key>`. A key carries its holder's own permissions, resolved on
        every call — revoking a membership closes the key's reach immediately.
        Keep it in an environment variable (`GOOSY_API_KEY`), never in a
        committed file.
