Contract-First Mindtickle Adapter Patterns

Overview

Turn an authorized tenant API contract into a narrow adapter with explicit operations, validation, retries, tenancy, and evidence—without fabricating an SDK or route.

Prerequisites

• A versioned tenant API artifact with provenance, permitted operations, and data classification
• Confirmed authentication, environment, capacity, support, and change-notification contracts
• Test fixtures that contain no production secrets or learner PII

Tool Discipline

Use Read, Glob, and Grep to inspect contract artifacts and code, WebFetch only for authorized current documentation, and Write or Edit for adapter code, fixtures, and redacted receipts.

Current Contract

Public Mindtickle material confirms REST-based Content, User, and Reporting APIs but does not define a universal public SDK, base URL, route set, or credential header. Treat the tenant artifact as the executable authority and record its digest and expiry.
