Frequently asked questions

Ceven connects to CDR Platform using a secure API key management system. When you add your credentials, we store them in an encrypted vault that is isolated from the model. The agent only retrieves the key at the moment of the API call to sign the request. We never log the raw key in any workflow history or prompt logs. You can rotate your API key in the CDR Platform dashboard at any time and update it in the Ceven integration settings to maintain a seamless connection without breaking your active carbon removal workflows.
Yes. You can build a workflow that pulls data from a source like an ERP or a logistics tool to calculate emissions. Once the tonnage is determined, the agent calls the CDR Platform pricing endpoint to find the best rate and then executes the purchase. This allows for a fully autonomous carbon offset loop where the purchase happens the moment the emission is recorded, ensuring your net zero targets are met in real time rather than waiting for a manual end of month review.
Ceven monitors the API response for every transaction. If a purchase fails due to insufficient funds, a billing threshold breach, or a provider outage, the agent triggers an error handler. You can configure this to send a Slack alert to your finance team or to attempt a different removal method that might be available. The agent logs the specific error code returned by the platform so you know exactly why the transaction did not go through without needing to check the raw API logs.
Purchase limits are governed by your specific CDR Platform account tier and the available inventory of the removal providers. One quirk of the CDR Platform API is that certain high demand removal methods have strict rate limits on purchase requests to prevent market manipulation. If your workflow attempts to buy credits too rapidly, the API will return a rate limit error. Ceven handles this by implementing an exponential backoff strategy, automatically retrying the request after a short delay to ensure the purchase completes.
The agent uses the Get CDR Price tool to query the current market for specific removal technologies. You can specify the method, such as direct air capture or biochar, and the amount of carbon to remove. The platform returns a real time quote including any applicable fees. Ceven can then compare these quotes across multiple methods to find the one that fits your budget and sustainability criteria before proceeding to the final purchase step in your workflow.
Yes. By combining the billing info tool with your own internal tagging system, Ceven can allocate each CDR Platform purchase to a specific project or department. The agent can pull the transaction details and push them into a database or spreadsheet, categorizing the spend by project ID. This gives you a granular view of your carbon removal costs and allows you to bill these expenses back to specific clients or business units automatically.
While not strictly required, it is a best practice for high volume automation. Using the health check tool at the start of a batch purchase workflow ensures that the API and database are responsive before the agent attempts to process multiple transactions. This prevents partial failures where some credits are bought but others are not due to a mid process outage. It provides an extra layer of reliability for companies that rely on precise carbon accounting for regulatory compliance.
Once a purchase is finalized through the Post CDR Purchase action, the platform generates a retirement certificate. Ceven can be configured to poll for the completion of this process and then pull the certificate link or document. The agent can then upload this file to your corporate document store or email it to your compliance officer, ensuring that the proof of removal is archived immediately after the financial transaction is settled.
