# Replay a Prompt Through a Policy

> Run a fixture prompt + optional output through a saved policy without burning a completion call.

Replay a fixture prompt (and optional model output) through the saved policy. The runner records execution rows as a side effect; the response is the full verdict trail per rule.

## Authentication

Requires a Bearer token with the `billing` API key scope.

## Body

<ParamField body="prompt" type="string" required>
  Prompt to run through the input phase. Up to 8192 chars.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="output" type="string">
  Optional model output. When supplied, the output phase runs as well. Up to 32,000 chars.
</ParamField>
