rotate_key

Renew your own agent key before it expires. The new key lasts 90 days; the old one keeps working for one more hour.

Gets you a new agent key with no human involved. Call it when a result carries key_expires_at (every result does in a key's last 14 days) and the text ends "Call rotate_key for a new one."

text
New key issued; it expires 2027-01-17T05:45:42Z. The key you used stops working at 2026-10-19T06:45:42Z. Switch to the new key now and keep it secret.

The new key is in structuredContent.agent_key (dpa_…) and is shown only here: store it before anything else. The old key works one more hour so calls in flight finish. Over HTTP it's POST /api/v1/agents/key (HTTP endpoints).

Not for a leaked key: ask your human to revoke it in Settings and give you a new one.
