Depot inventoryrefresh

Registers the on-demand inventory sweep.

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

POST /api/v1/endpoints/{agentID}/inventory/refresh

POSTendpoint:readtenant facehosteditmspremoteIdempotent

From an MSP console, prefix the path with /api/v1/clients/{clientID} to reach one client.

Source: [object Object]

requestInventoryRefresh asks one connected agent to collect and push a full inventory now.

It returns 202: the sweep takes about fifteen seconds and the result arrives over the telemetry stream, not in this response, so the caller watches the endpoint’s inventoryUpdatedAt to learn when it landed.
