Depot shell

Registers the interactive console routes.

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/endpoints/{agentID}/shell

GETcommand:executetenant facehosteditmspremoteIdempotentWebSocket

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

Source: [object Object]

shellSocket runs one interactive console for the life of the WebSocket.

Every rejection happens BEFORE the upgrade, so the caller gets a JSON problem document it can render rather than a socket that closes with no explanation.

Source: [object Object]

getShellRunAs reports whether a console on this endpoint may run as its signed-in user.

The socket refuses before the upgrade with a problem document, but a browser WebSocket cannot read a refused upgrade’s body, so the viewer asks here first and shows the user option disabled with the reason. Same permission as the socket: the answer is only of use to someone who could open one.
