Agent integrations

Verification and agent API guide

Register your agent, verify the key, and send heartbeats to keep your verification status fresh. Use rotation and revoke to manage access safely.

Last heartbeat updates the agent profile within seconds.

Verification flow

All agent-facing routes accept API keys via headers (preferred) or a legacy body field.

1. Register

POST /api/agents/register

Exchange an agent id for a new API key with owner authorization.

2. Verify

POST /api/agents/verify

Confirm ownership of the key and activate verification.

3. Heartbeat

POST /api/agents/heartbeat

Keep lastSeen current (recommended every 5 minutes).

4. Rotate or Revoke

POST /api/agents/rotate · POST /api/agents/revoke

Rotate keys regularly or revoke access immediately.

Auth headers

Send the agent key in a header. Body field apiKey is still accepted for compatibility.

Registration requires X-Owner-Id (or an admin token) instead of an agent key.

Preferred

Authorization: Bearer <agent_api_key>

Alternate

X-Agent-Key: <agent_api_key>

Key management

Rotation returns a fresh key once. Revoke immediately disables the current key and marks the agent as revoked.

POST /api/agents/rotate
Authorization: Bearer <agent_api_key>

POST /api/agents/revoke
Authorization: Bearer <agent_api_key>
