Verify an agent token for one tool call
POST /api/v1/agent-tokens/verify · operationId verifyAgentToken
For developers: your server sends this request with a server key; it is not a button in the dashboard.
A refusal is 200 {valid:false, reason} in fixed words, never an error; nothing is recorded for it. reason is unknown (no such token), expired, revoked, out_of_scope (the tool is not in the token), approval_changed (the tool was changed or disabled after the token was issued) or disabled (agent tokens are off for this Site).
Authentication
Send Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SERVER_KEY (siteServerKey: Site server key in Authorization: Bearer <key> (the scheme is case-insensitive and required; a bare key is 401). Shown once on creation or rotation. Publishable keys cannot authenticate). Keep the server key in server-only configuration; never send it to a browser.

Failures are not verdicts. Error bodies follow the Error schema: code is one of bad_request, unauthorized, session_reinit_required, forbidden, not_found, conflict, identity_required, payload_too_large, rate_limited, internal_error, service_unavailable, request_failed, approval_invalid, approval_used, approval_expired, approval_mismatch, step_up_not_held, step_up_mismatch, step_up_settled, step_up_expired, step_up_superseded, agent_tokens_disabled, tool_not_approved, tool_not_read_only. Errors and retries explains each code and what to do.
