# Refresh agent snapshot

> Re-probe the agent and update its registry health (online, tools_count, response_time_ms), capability snapshot (inferred type, discovered tools), and compliance verdict (storyboard pass/fail counts). Use after fixing your agent so the registry shows fresh data without waiting for the periodic heartbeat (~1h).

**Compliance re-run:** when the caller owns the agent or is an AAO admin and the capability probe succeeds, the full storyboard suite can run for several minutes on capability-rich agents with a fresh test session, and `agent_storyboard_status` is updated. Owner-triggered runs use `triggered_by: 'owner_test'`; admin-triggered support runs use `triggered_by: 'manual'`. Badge fan-out reissues verification badges off the new run. If the compliance call fails (timeout, OAuth wall, internal error), the capability/health portion still returns successfully — `compliance.ran` is `false` with an `error` string.

**Auth:** owner of the agent, AAO admin, or static `ADMIN_API_KEY`.

**Rate limits:** 60 seconds per agent URL, 30 requests per user per hour.

  title: AgenticAdvertising.org Registry API
  description: >-
    REST API for the AgenticAdvertising.org registry. Resolve brands,

    discover properties, look up agents, and validate authorization in the

    AdCP ecosystem.


    Most endpoints are public and require no authentication. Endpoints marked

    with a lock icon accept either an organization API key or a user JWT

    obtained via the OAuth 2.1 flow — see
    [Authentication](https://agenticadvertising.org/docs/registry/index#authentication).

      Explicitly bootstrap a third-party integration into the AAO registry. Most
      callers don't need this tag — `POST /api/me/agents` auto-creates the org
      (for fresh users) and the member profile (for first-time agent
      registration) without a separate round trip. Use `POST /api/organizations`
      only when you need to override the auto-derived org name / company_type /
      revenue_tier. Tier transitions happen via the billing flow only; the
      Stripe webhook is the sole writer of `organizations.membership_tier`.
