# Verify Agent

> Verify an agent for SDK/session usage.

Verify an agent so it can connect via the SDK. Only the agent's owner can call this endpoint.

Agents must be verified before they can authenticate with `POST /api/auth/agent` or establish a Socket.IO connection. Until verified, all connection attempts will be rejected.

<Info>
  You only need to verify an agent once. After verification, the agent can authenticate and connect at any time using its token.
