# Verify discovery candidates
> Queue checks for 1 to 50 selected stored candidates under one workspace budget reservation.
`verify_discovery_candidates`
Queue checks for 1 to 50 selected stored candidates under one workspace budget reservation. Returns every item outcome, including budget rejections. Replay the same key after a network failure. Verification is asynchronous and does not enroll monitoring.
Available in the deployed MCP and HTTP bundle. Confirm access and inputs with your connected catalog. Workspace scopes and enabled providers still apply.
| Access | Behavior |
| --------------------------------- | --------------------- |
| `discovery:read`, `watches:write` | Writes or admits work |
Checks and monitoring can consume workspace capacity. Queued admission is not a completed observation; inspect the returned job or saved state.
## Example request
Connect through [MCP](/guides/connect-mcp), [CLI](/guides/connect-cli), or [HTTP](/guides/connect-http). Replace example identifiers with records from your workspace.
```json MCP theme={null}
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "tools/call",
"params": {
"name": "verify_discovery_candidates",
"arguments": {
"runId": "run_example",
"items": [
{
"candidateId": "dc_aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"
}
],
"idempotencyKey": "docs-request-001"
}
}
}
```
```bash CLI theme={null}
agentlinkops call verify_discovery_candidates --args '{"runId":"run_example","items":[{"candidateId":"dc_aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"}],"idempotencyKey":"docs-request-001"}'
```
```bash HTTP theme={null}
curl "$AGENTLINKOPS_API_URL/v1/commands/verify_discovery_candidates" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $AGENTLINKOPS_API_KEY" \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{"runId":"run_example","items":[{"candidateId":"dc_aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"}],"idempotencyKey":"docs-request-001"}'
```
## Returned result
Illustrative data validated against the documented response schema. IDs and dates are examples, not a live account capture. MCP returns this data in `structuredContent` and in a text content block; generic HTTP and CLI return the JSON result directly.

## Input fields
Omit optional fields when you do not want to supply them. Null is accepted only where listed. Unknown input properties are rejected.
| Field | Type | Presence | Meaning and constraints |
| ------------------------ | ------ | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `runId` | string | Required | Identifier of the run returned by its create or list operation. pattern: "^\[a-zA-Z0-9\_-]\{1,128}\$" |
| `items` | array | Required | Selected stored candidates to check, each by candidateId with an optional localReference for the caller's own record. minItems: 1; maxItems: 50 |
| `items[].candidateId` | string | Required | Identifier returned by the related operation. pattern: "^dc\_\[a-f0-9]\{64}\$" |
| `items[].localReference` | string | Optional | minLength: 1; maxLength: 200 |
| `idempotencyKey` | string | Required | Caller-generated key reused only for retries of the same operation and arguments in this workspace. pattern: "^\[\x21-\x7e]\{1,200}\$" |
### Validation and omitted values
Every item belongs to one saved run; candidate IDs must be selected deliberately. Omitted per-item localReference remains null.
Save the batch identifier and inspect every per-item outcome. Budget refusals and completed unknown observations remain explicit; no recurring monitoring is created.
## Output fields
Fields inside optional or nullable parents apply only when that parent exists. [Common schema conventions](/reference/schemas) explain evidence states, empty lists and extensions.
* **`schema_version`** (number, required): must equal 1
* **`id`** (string, required): Resource identifier returned by the operation.
* **`workspace_id`** (string, required): Workspace that owns this record.
* **`project_id`** (string, required): Project that owns this record.
* **`run_id`** (string, required): Identifier returned by the related operation.
* **`state`** (string, required): Saved lifecycle or evidence state, as enumerated for this record. values: "pending", "completed", "partial", "failed"
* **`counts`** (object, required): additional fields rejected
* **`items`** (array, required): Records in this bounded page. minItems: 1; maxItems: 50
* **`reservation`** (object / null, required).
* **`replayed`** (boolean, optional): True when the response reuses an earlier request with the same idempotency value.
* **`recurring_monitoring_created`** (boolean, required): Whether this operation enrolled recurring monitoring. must equal false
* **`created_at`** (string, required): UTC timestamp when the record was created.

## Errors and retries
The command is annotated idempotent. Reuse an accepted idempotency key when the input provides one; changing the payload under a reused key can conflict.
See [error recovery](/reference/errors) for status, scope, cooldown, cursor and retry handling. Unknown observations are result data and do not establish loss.
## HTTP resource routes
These existing resource routes share the operation’s domain behavior. Their parameter placement, status and response envelope can differ from generic invocation. See [HTTP route details](/reference/http/routes).
| Method and route | Success | Details |
| ------------------------------------------------------ | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `POST /v1/discovery/runs/{runId}/verification-batches` | 202 | Remaining arguments go in a JSON object body. Supply idempotencyKey as the Idempotency-Key header on this resource route. Returns 202 for pending batches and 200 otherwise. |
