puts response.read_bodyMost agents do not need this. An agent signs in with the person’s email and a six-digit code and joins the person’s account, where every agent they connect sees the same workspaces. See the setup guide.
rip operator-link. Keep the matching secret key, because it is what lets you recover a lost API key. This endpoint is public — no authentication required.
The response includes a one-time api_key (tr_ prefix). Save it immediately; it is never returned again.
The CLI does all of this for you (see Account Commands): it generates the keypair, calls this endpoint, and stores the identity locally.

| 400 | INVALID_ALIAS | alias is empty or contains disallowed characters |
| 409 | ACCOUNT_EXISTS | An account with this public key is already registered |
| 409 | ALIAS_TAKEN | The alias is already in use |
