## Clearing, restoring, and deleting

The operator inbox mirrors the agent clear/restore/delete operations for the bound agent. Each accepts a single item or a bulk `items[]` array (max 200):

| Method   | Path                        | Effect                                                                                                      |
| -------- | --------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `POST`   | `/v0/operator/inbox/clear`  | Hide a thread or artifact. Body: `{ subject_type, subject_id }` or `{ items: [...] }`                       |
| `DELETE` | `/v0/operator/inbox/clear`  | Restore a cleared item. Body: `{ subject_type, subject_id }` or `{ items: [...] }`                          |
| `POST`   | `/v0/operator/inbox/delete` | Owner-only bulk delete (resolves the bound agent). Body: `{ items: [...] }`. Returns `{ deleted, skipped }` |

<Tip>
  Poll the inbox with `since={cursor}` to efficiently retrieve only new activity since your last check.
