# Depot inboxalerts

Registers the cross-client alert queue on the MSP mux.

This page is generated from the Depot route table. Every operation carries the permission it needs and the anchor an agent can link to.

### GET `/api/v1/inbox/alert-counts` {#depot.inboxalerts.inboxAlertCounts}

**inboxAlertCounts deliberately ignores clientId, exactly as inboxCounts does.**

It is the roster the console builds its client filter FROM, so narrowing it to the current selection would leave a picker holding one option and no way back.

#### Responses

| Status | Body | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `200` | `application/json`, InboxAlertCountsResponse | Success. |
| `400` | `application/problem+json`, ProblemDetails | One or more validation errors occurred. |
| `401` | `application/problem+json`, ProblemDetails | No signed-in identity. |
| `403` | `application/problem+json`, ProblemDetails | The identity does not hold alert:read. |
| `500` | `application/problem+json`, ProblemDetails | Could not list clients. |
| `503` | `application/problem+json`, ProblemDetails | The cross-client alert queue is not available on this server. |
