# List the tenant's verb vocabulary

GET https://api.withwrit.com/v1/verbs

API key required. Returns every verb the tenant can use in policies
and checks: the built-in verbs, plus the tenant's custom verbs with
their status (`live` or `deprecated`) and rename history. Deprecated
verbs are either renamed aliases (`aliasOf` names the canonical
verb) or retired verbs; both still resolve in checks, neither can be
used in a new policy, and no name is ever reusable. GET /v1/policy
returns the live custom-verb names in its `customVerbs` field.
