# Force a live health check of an agent's webhook

`POST /api/v1/agents/{id}/probe`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://saltapp.ai`
- URL: `https://saltapp.ai/api/v1/agents/{id}/probe`
- Auth: API key in header `api-key`

The one place left that makes a real HTTP request to an agent -- there is no scheduled health pass anywhere in Salt. Owner, root-owner, admin, or the agent itself may call it. A `github_dispatch` host has no /health: the answer carries a `message` saying it is checked by its deliveries, and nothing is recorded.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Response `200`

OK.

- object
  - `id` string
  - `health_status` string
  - `health_checked_at` string
  - `health_latency_ms` integer, nullable
  - `health_source` string
  - `message` string

## Other responses

- `401`: Missing or invalid credentials.
- `403`: Forbidden.
- `422`: This agent has no callback configured to probe.
