## Auth
Caller's grant must include the `payments:initiate` scope. Grants whose scope set is a superset of the required scope are accepted.

## Response examples
**Accepted (below step-up threshold)**
```json theme={null}
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"result": {
"scheduled_transfer_id": "a3b4c5d6-e7f8-4a9b-8c0d-1e2f3a4b5c6d",
"execute_at": "2026-05-15T09:00:00Z",
"policy_version_at_schedule": 7,
"enqueued_at": "2026-05-04T14:22:33Z"
}
}
```
**Step-up required (amount over envelope threshold)**
```json theme={null}
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"error": {
"code": -32003,
"message": "scheduled transfer of 250000 cents requires step-up approval before it can be enqueued",
"data": {
"reason_id": "step_up_required",
"step_up_url": "https://app.glide.co/step-up/confirm?sigil=eyJhbGci..."
}
}
}
```
## Errors
| Code | `reason_id` | Meaning |
| -------- | --------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `-32000` | `unauthenticated` | Bearer token missing or expired. |
| `-32001` | `unauthorized` | Grant does not include `payments:initiate`. |
| `-32002` | `policy_denied` | Envelope denied the scheduled amount (velocity, allowlist, daily cap, etc.). |
| `-32003` | `step_up_required` | Amount exceeds the envelope's step-up threshold. `data.step_up_url` contains the biometric approval URL; re-submit with the redeemed sigil in `step_up_sigil`. |
| `-32004` | `rate_limited` | Too many schedule requests. `data.retry_after_seconds` tells you when to retry. |
| `-32602` | `execute_at_not_future` | `execute_at` is not strictly after the current time. |
| `-32602` | `execute_at_beyond_horizon` | `execute_at` is more than 90 days from now. |
| `-32603` | `internal_error` | Transient server fault. Retry with the same idempotency key. |
## Step-up flow
`transfer.schedule` enforces step-up **at schedule time** — the row is never enqueued until the principal has approved. This differs from a naive deferred `payments.initiate`; the execute-time worker also rechecks the then-current policy.
1. Call `transfer.schedule` with the desired params. If the envelope's `step_up_amount_cents` threshold is exceeded, the server returns `-32003` with `data.step_up_url` and `data.reason_id = "step_up_required"`.
2. Redirect the user to `step_up_url` (Privy biometric prompt). On success, Glide mints a one-time `sigil` and redirects back to your app's callback URL.
3. Re-submit the original call, adding `step_up_sigil: ""` to the params.
4. The server redeems the sigil (single-use, bound to the exact amount + counterparty + execute\_at), verifies the action matches what was approved, and enqueues the scheduled transfer.

import { GlideClient, StepUpRequired } from './glide-client';
const client = new GlideClient({ grantToken: process.env.GLIDE_GRANT_TOKEN! });
const params = {
counterparty: { address: '0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045', chain: 'base', token: 'USDC' },

idempotency_key: 'sched-large-2026-05-15',
};
const result = await client.call('transfer.schedule', params);
if (result instanceof StepUpRequired) {
// Redirect user; on callback, re-submit with sigil.
window.location.href = result.stepUpUrl;
return;
}
// result is TransferScheduleOutput
console.log('Scheduled:', result.scheduled_transfer_id);
