# Foundry Data Product bindings `NDC Foundry Binding` is a deploy/control-plane operation. Realtime facts do not pass through the node: Foundry persists an approved page-slot binding and its same-origin BFF reads snapshot + patch from External Data Plane. ## Private workload API ```text GET /internal/foundry/v1/data-products POST /internal/foundry/v1/data-product-bindings Authorization: Bearer ndc_fndbg_ ``` The POST body is `nodedc.foundry.binding-upsert/v1`. It contains only application, page, binding, Data Product projection and a stable idempotency key. Provider, tenant, connection, endpoint, URL, raw payload and credentials are rejected. This credential is not a Foundry MCP `fnd1.*` capability. MCP capabilities are short-lived interactive grants for AI Workspace. It is also not `NODEDC_INTERNAL_ACCESS_TOKEN`, a browser session, or an EDP writer/reader grant. ## Workload grant The opaque value never enters a Foundry env file or application manifest. Foundry hashes it with SHA-256 and resolves a root-owned, non-writable record from `NODEDC_FOUNDRY_BINDING_GRANTS_DIR` on every request. Removing or replacing the record therefore revokes or rotates access immediately. A `nodedc.module-foundry.binding-grant.v1` record fixes: - expiry and actions (`catalog.read`, `map-data-product.upsert`); - actor and owner used by the existing replay-safe Foundry write path; - exact allowlisted tuples of application, page, binding, slot, Data Product, semantic types and field projection. No authorization claim is accepted from request headers or workflow data. Before persisting a binding, Foundry verifies that the target-specific EDP reader grant exists, is active, permits the selected product and exposes a `snapshot+patch` product. The reader grant filename remains `sha256(applicationId/pageId/bindingId)`. If it is not ready, POST fails with `409 data_product_reader_grant_not_ready`; an unusable visual binding is never saved. The canonical Map entity-stream slot is `points`. Other templates may define their own typed slots, but the workload grant must name them explicitly.
