Access keys are required to send API requests to an agent.

To add an access key:

1.  Go to the **AI Services** → **Agents** section and select the required agent.
2.  On the **Management** tab, click **Modify** in the **API access** section.

3.  Click **Add new key**.
4.  Enter a custom name or leave the default one and click **Add**.
5.  Copy the key value and store it in a secure location. You will not be able to view it again in the dashboard.

Use the generated key in your application or website to authorize requests to the agent.
