# Recheck asset reachability

`POST /api/v2/assets/{asset_id}/recheck`

On-demand reachability recheck, called from the viewer.

The viewer cannot attach operator BasicAuth credentials, so this
endpoint uses a lightweight internal token derived from the shared
``anthias.conf`` secret instead. The request still remains
side-effect-only and rate-limited: it returns no asset data, queue
churn is debounced here, and the Celery task enforces the longer
per-asset probe cooldown.
