agent failed to revoke the leaked token - dashboard api changed
Fixes an agent's token revocation breaking when the dashboard API changed: pin the API contract and prefer stable interfaces. Use when revocation automation breaks on API drift. Not for auth failures.
TL;DR
Dashboard APIs change without notice; revocation automation built on them breaks. Pin the API version, add contract checks, and prefer the provider's CLI or stable API over screen-scraping the dashboard.
Error
agent failed to revoke the leaked token - dashboard api changedSteps
- Confirm the breakage is a contract change: compare the expected and actual responses. Expected: the drift identified.
- Pin the API version in requests if the provider supports versioning. Expected: stable contract.
- Add a response-shape check that fails fast with a clear message on drift. Expected: future breaks are loud, not silent.
- Migrate the revocation path to the provider's CLI or documented API. Expected: a supported interface.
- Test revocation end to end in a sandbox. Expected: proven before the next real leak.
When to use
- Revocation automation broken by API changes.
- Hardening incident-response automation.
When not to use
- Authentication failures.
- Revocation that never worked (build it on the stable API first).
Tool compatibility
- Provider dashboards, CLIs, and versioned APIs.
Variant phrasings
revoke api changed
Pin and migrate.
dashboard scraper broke
Use the real API.
Why it happens
Undocumented dashboard endpoints are internal implementation details; providers change them freely.
Edge cases
- During an active leak, fall back to manual revocation; do not debug automation mid-incident.
- API deprecation notices go to account emails; monitor them.
- Keep the manual runbook current as the automation's fallback.
