Sumsub Create Poa Preset
Create or update a Sumsub Proof-of-Address (POA) preset. POST `/resources/api/agent/poaStepSettings` to create new, PATCH same path to update (id in body), GET `/resources/api/agent/poaStepSettings/{id}` to read one back. TRIGGER when the user asks to "create / add / build / configure / update / edit a POA preset" or "PoA step settings", configure which proof-of-address document types are accepted (utility bills, bank statements, tax bills, etc.), set validity periods per provider type, enable POI-as-POA (accept identity doc as proof of address), tune the cross-validator (name/address fuzzy match between POI and POA), or add per-country POA overrides. SKIP for attaching a preset to a level (set `poaStepSettingsId` on the level instead, via `sumsub-create-level`), or for non-POA presets (cross-check presets, permission presets, etc.).

What this skill tells the agent
Sumsub — Create POA Preset
Builds a POA preset JSON payload from a compact spec, POSTs it to the Sumsub API, and reports the resulting preset id so it can be attached to one or more levels via level.requiredIdDocs.docSets[].poaStepSettingsId.
Prerequisite — level must have a PROOF_OF_RESIDENCE step. A POA preset has no effect unless it is attached to aPROOF_OF_RESIDENCE(orPROOF_OF_RESIDENCE2/3/4) docset in at least one level. If the user hasn't created (or described) a level that includes a POA step, surface this before building the preset — there is no point creating it in isolation.
Endpoints
| Method | Path | When |
|---|---|---|
POST | /resources/api/agent/poaStepSettings | Create a new preset. Body MUST NOT include id — server assigns it. |
PATCH | /resources/api/agent/poaStepSettings | Update an existing preset. Body MUST include id (the field, not in the URL). |
GET | /resources/api/agent/poaStepSettings/{id} | Read one preset back — used to verify what landed and to resolve name from a known id. |
All three require permission manageClientSettings. Body shape is the POA preset schema — client-settable fields only (clientId, createdAt, createdBy, modifiedAt, audit trail are server-managed and echoed back on the response).
After creation, attach by editing a level: requiredIdDocs.docSets[].poaStepSettingsId = "<the new id>" on any PROOF_OF_RESIDENCE doc-set.
Auth — App Token + secret (sandbox only)
This skill talks to the public Sumsub API and signs each request per the authentication reference. The full how-it-works writeup lives in the `sumsub-api-auth` skill — read it if you hit 401 Invalid signature.
⚠️ Sandbox tokens only. Do not accept or use a production App Token here. If the user offers one, refuse and ask them to generate a sandbox pair at <https://cockpit.sumsub.com/checkus/home?sbx=true> (Connect Sumsub to your AI agent -> Build & configure -> Generate token). Token + secret are shown once — copy both before closing the dialog. The helper script enforces this — it rejects tokens that don't start with sbx:.| Var | Example |
|---|---|
SUMSUB_APP_TOKEN | sbx:... — sandbox App Token from the dashboard. |
SUMSUB_SECRET_KEY | The paired secret shown once at token creation. |
SUMSUB_BASE | Optional. Defaults to https://api.sumsub.com. |
If the user has already supplied credentials in conversation, reuse them; otherwise ask once before running. Never echo the secret back.
Tenant entitlements
POA preset creation has historically been gated behind the POA entitlement, but in practice the API accepts the write for most tenants regardless — the entitlement is often baseline, covered by other keys, or simply not surfaced in allowedChecks. Don't treat its absence as a blocker.
- Invoke
sumsub-check-permissionsand inspectallowedChecks— informational, for diagnostics. - If `POA` is present — proceed.
- If `POA` is missing — proceed anyway, with a one-line user-visible note that the documented entitlement isn't listed (so they know what to mention to support if the POST eventually fails). Do NOT pause for confirmation — Sumsub will reject the write itself if the tenant truly lacks the right, and the 4xx from that will be more informative than a pre-emptive halt.
- If the POST returns a 4xx that mentions an entitlement — surface the error body verbatim and suggest contacting CSM / Sumsub support.
Procedure
- Fetch tenant entitlements — see section above.
- Translate the user's intent into the compact spec (below). Most users describe presets in terms of "what we accept" (bank statements, utility bills) and "for how long" (validity in months) — map that into
providerskeys,subTypes, andvalidMonths. - Validate: name non-empty;
includedCountriesandexcludedCountriesaren't both set; every provider key is aPoaCompanyContactType; everysubTypesentry is aPoaSubType; every country code is ISO-3166-1 alpha-3 uppercase;crossValidator.fuzzyThresholdin[0, 1]. - Generate payload via
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/build_poa_preset.py(compact spec on stdin → full payload on stdout). - Create vs. update:
- New preset — POST via
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/post_poa_preset.sh. The payload must not carryid. - Update existing — first GET the current state via
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/get_poa_preset.shso the user sees the diff, then PATCH via${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/patch_poa_preset.sh. The payload must include the preset'sid.
- Build the dashboard link. Read
idandclientIdfrom the response body and format:
https://cockpit.sumsub.com/checkus/sdkIntegrations/globalSettings/userVerification/proofOfAddress/<id>?clientId=<clientId>&sbx=trueThe sbx=true query param targets the Sandbox workspace — it is the canonical sandbox link param shared across all skills.
- Report — lead with the human-readable name; surface the id only at the end as the value to pass into the next API call:
- Name and country scope (incl/excl) + per-country override countries.
- A brief summary of what's accepted (provider types covered, default validity).
- Dashboard link as a clickable markdown link.
- Final line:
Preset ID for level wiring: <id>.
