# Set prospect monitoring

> Explicitly enable or pause recurring checks for a saved exact-page opportunity at its current revision.

`set_prospect_monitoring`

Explicitly enable or pause recurring checks for a saved exact-page opportunity at its current revision. A recent complete verification is reused before the next scheduled source check; enabling does not declare a verified placement.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Name recorded in the 2026-10-27 deployment. This page describes current source; verify inputs and access in your connected catalog. Provider configuration and workspace access still apply.

| Access | Behavior |
| - | - |
| `watches:write` | Writes or admits work; can change or remove existing state |

This explicit action changes scheduled checking. Enabling requires ordinary credit and capacity admission; later scheduled checks consume their normal allowance. Disabling pauses future scheduling.

## Example request

Connect through [MCP](https://docs.agentlinkops.com/guides/connect-mcp.md), [CLI](https://docs.agentlinkops.com/guides/connect-cli.md), or [HTTP](https://docs.agentlinkops.com/guides/connect-http.md). Replace example identifiers with records from your workspace.

```json MCP theme={null}

  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {

      "enabled": true,
      "cadenceSeconds": 604800
    }
  }
}
```

```bash CLI theme={null}
agentlinkops call set_prospect_monitoring --args '{"projectId":"project_example","watchId":"watch_example","revision":"e61fed8c-85c3-4f30-a4d8-d84934f27698","enabled":true,"cadenceSeconds":604800}'

```

## Returned result

Schema-validated example; IDs and dates are illustrative. MCP returns this data in `structuredContent` and in a text content block; generic HTTP and CLI return the JSON result directly.

## Input fields

Omit optional fields when you do not want to supply them. Null is accepted only where listed. Unknown input properties are rejected.

| Field | Type | Presence | Meaning and constraints |
| - | - | - | - |
| `projectId` | string | Required | project ID from create/list. minLength: `1`; maxLength: `200` |
| `watchId` | string | Required | watch ID from create/list. minLength: `1`; maxLength: `200` |
| `revision` | string | Required | Immutable set revision to read/compare. format: `"uuid"`; pattern: `"^([0-9a-fA-F]{8}-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}-[1-8][0-9a-fA-F]{3}-[89abAB][0-9a-fA-F]{3}-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}\|00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000\|ffffffff-ffff-ffff-ffff-ffffffffffff)$"` |
| `enabled` | boolean | Required | |
| `cadenceSeconds` | integer | Optional | Check interval in seconds; see bounds. minimum: `3600`; maximum: `2592000` |

### Validation and omitted values

Use the current revision and choose enabled true or false explicitly. Omitted cadenceSeconds preserves the saved cadence. This starts or pauses future source checks; it does not send outreach or declare a live placement.

Enabling needs an exact source page and an unarchived, non-retired record within the current allowance. Enabling itself spends no check credits; future checks consume allowance when admitted. Review the monitoring estimate before starting.

A recent complete one-time verification supplies the first observation; the next check uses the saved cadence and any earlier confirmation or Retry-After constraint. Pausing retains evidence and the saved schedule slot.

After an uncertain response, read get\_prospect and compare enabled, cadence and revision before deciding whether another mutation is needed. Existing active or paused preferences change only as explicitly requested.

## Output fields

Fields inside optional or nullable parents apply only when that parent exists. [Common schema conventions](https://docs.agentlinkops.com/reference/schemas.md) explain evidence states, empty lists and extensions.

* **`prospect`** (object, required).
* **`replayed`** (boolean, required): True when the response reuses an earlier request with the same idempotency value.

## Errors and retries

This write is annotated idempotent without a caller-supplied idempotency key. Reconcile saved state after an uncertain response, then use the same inputs for the same intended operation. Do not add an unsupported key. Operation-specific errors include `UNAUTHORIZED`, `INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE`, `CAMPAIGNS_NOT_READY`, `PROSPECT_ACCESS_DENIED`, `INVALID_PROSPECT_INPUT`, `PROSPECT_NOT_FOUND`, `PROSPECT_REVISION_CONFLICT`, `PROSPECT_SOURCE_REQUIRED`, `ADMISSION_REJECTED`, `WATCH_QUOTA_EXCEEDED`.

See [error recovery](https://docs.agentlinkops.com/reference/errors.md) for status, scope, cooldown, cursor and retry handling. Unknown observations are result data and do not establish loss.

## HTTP resource routes

This operation has no separate resource alias. Use its generic command route in a matching environment.
