# 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` {#depot.inventoryrefresh.requestInventoryRefresh}

**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.

#### Parameters

| Name | In | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `agentID` | path | string | Yes |  |

#### Responses

| Status | Body | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `202` | None | Accepted. |
| `401` | `application/problem+json`, ProblemDetails | No signed-in identity. |
| `403` | `application/problem+json`, ProblemDetails | The identity does not hold endpoint:read. |
| `404` | `application/problem+json`, ProblemDetails | Endpoint not found. |
| `409` | `application/problem+json`, ProblemDetails | This endpoint is not connected, so it cannot be asked for a new inventory right now. |
| `500` | `application/problem+json`, ProblemDetails | No client context in request. |
| `503` | `application/problem+json`, ProblemDetails | The telemetry dispatcher is not available. |
