# contractorOps.terms.read

Have the agreement reader agent read a signed agreement already on file for a contractor (envelopeId) and propose its terms as a draft to confirm: role, rate, pay schedule, hour limits, dates, notice, where the work is done and notable clauses, each with the words it came from. Nothing takes effect until a person confirms it.

## Fields

| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `contractorId` | string (ID) | Yes | The ID of a contractor, from contractors.list. |
| `envelopeId` | string (ID) | Yes | The ID of a document sent for signature, from signing.envelopes.list. |
| `idempotencyKey` | string | Yes | Any unique text you generate once per intended change, so a retried request only happens once. Send it as the Idempotency-Key header instead if you prefer; if you send both they must match. 8–200 characters. |
