The value is a Workspace ID (for example, `wrkspc_011CZkZaBF1tNoB5wlCeusgy`). Only needed for credentials that can act on more than one Workspace. A credential that belongs to a specific Workspace may omit it; if sent, it must match that Workspace. ## Returns - `class BetaManagedAgentsCredentialValidation` Result of live-probing a credential against its configured MCP server. - `Type type` - `String credentialId` Unique identifier of the credential that was validated. - `boolean hasRefreshToken` Whether the credential has a refresh token configured. - `Optional mcpProbe` Details of the failing MCP probe step. Null when the probe succeeded. - `Optional httpResponse` The captured HTTP error response. Null when no HTTP response was received (timeout, DNS, TLS). - `String body` Response body. May be truncated and has sensitive values scrubbed. - `boolean bodyTruncated` Whether `body` was truncated. - `String contentType` Value of the `Content-Type` response header. - `long statusCode` HTTP status code. format: int32 - `String method` The MCP method that failed (for example `initialize` or `tools/list`). - `Optional refresh` Details of the refresh-token exchange attempted on a 401. Null when no refresh was attempted. - `Optional httpResponse` The captured HTTP error response from the token endpoint. Populated only when `status` is `failed`. - `Status status` Outcome of the refresh attempt. - `SUCCEEDED("succeeded")` The token endpoint returned a new access token. - `FAILED("failed")` The token endpoint returned an error response. See `http_response` for detail. - `CONNECT_ERROR("connect_error")` The token endpoint could not be reached (DNS, TLS, or connection error). - `NO_REFRESH_TOKEN("no_refresh_token")` No refresh token is stored for the credential, so no exchange was attempted. - `BetaManagedAgentsCredentialValidationStatus status` Overall verdict of the validation probe. - `VALID("valid")` The credential successfully authenticated against its MCP server. - `INVALID("invalid")` The probe reached the MCP server and was rejected, and a refresh (if attempted) did not recover it. - `UNKNOWN("unknown")` The probe could not determine validity — for example, a transport error or a successful refresh that was not re-probed. - `LocalDateTime validatedAt` When the validation probe was performed. format: date-time - `String vaultId` Identifier of the vault containing the credential. ## Example ```java package com.anthropic.example; import com.anthropic.client.AnthropicClient; import com.anthropic.client.okhttp.AnthropicOkHttpClient; import com.anthropic.models.beta.vaults.credentials.BetaManagedAgentsCredentialValidation; import com.anthropic.models.beta.vaults.credentials.CredentialMcpOAuthValidateParams; public final class Main { private Main() {} public static void main(String[] args) { AnthropicClient client = AnthropicOkHttpClient.fromEnv(); CredentialMcpOAuthValidateParams params = CredentialMcpOAuthValidateParams.builder() .vaultId("vlt_011CZkZDLs7fYzm1hXNPeRjv") .credentialId("vcrd_011CZkZEMt8gZan2iYPQfSkw") .build(); BetaManagedAgentsCredentialValidation betaManagedAgentsCredentialValidation = client.beta().vaults().credentials().mcpOAuthValidate(params); } } ``` ### Response (200) ```json { "credential_id": "vcrd_011CZkZEMt8gZan2iYPQfSkw", "has_refresh_token": true, "mcp_probe": { "http_response": { "body": "body", "body_truncated": true, "content_type": "content_type", "status_code": 0 }, "method": "method" }, "refresh": { "http_response": { "body": "body", "body_truncated": true, "content_type": "content_type", "status_code": 0 }, "status": "succeeded" }, "status": "valid", "type": "vault_credential_validation", "validated_at": "2026-03-15T10:00:00Z", "vault_id": "vlt_011CZkZDLs7fYzm1hXNPeRjv" } ```
