Validate External Key

ExternalKeyValidateResponse organization().externalKeys().validate(params = ExternalKeyValidateParams.none(), requestOptions = RequestOptions.none())
POST/v1/organizations/external_keys/{external_key_id}/validate

Validate an external key config against the customer's KMS.

Anthropic performs an encrypt/decrypt roundtrip against the configured KMS key and waits up to 30 seconds for the result. The response status is success if the roundtrip succeeded, or failure with an error message if it failed or timed out.

Returns
class ExternalKeyValidateResponse { type = "external_key_validation"; error; status; }

HTTP 200 for both outcomes — the operation completed; status says whether the key works.

JsonValue type = "external_key_validation"
Optional<String> error

Error message when status is failure. Null otherwise.
