# Classify a channel

> `internal` writes a mapping row with a null client and routes the room to the Worker's existing core ework — nothing is minted, and it answers **200**, because the row is the whole of the change. `client` binds the room and brings up that pair's ework, so it answers **202** and the agent may still be coming up behind it. Use this rather than a delete to mark a room internal: an unmapped room routes nowhere, which is a different thing.

**A `client` classification brings up that Client's ework and spends one of your organization's daily provisioning slots. An `internal` classification mints nothing and spends none.**



## OpenAPI

````yaml /openapi.json patch /api/v1/workers/{id}/channels/{channel}
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Ergoly platform API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    Read and change one organization's own Ergoly environment. Every route is
    scoped to the organization the presented credential resolves to; there is no
    parameter that widens it. The human-readable reference is served from the
    same namespace at `/api/v1/docs`, behind the same credential.


    The namespace's front door is `GET /api/v1`, and it is deliberately absent
    from `paths` below. It answers without a credential — what this API is, how
    an organization admin mints a key, and where the reference lives — so it is
    the way in to this contract rather than a part of it: it has no scope, takes
    no parameters, and there is nothing about it for a generated client to call.
    Every `unauthorized` refusal carries that same URL as `error.docs`.
