`verify_internal_link_change`

Check a planned change against the live source page; a broken-link repair may also check its destination. Applicable page allowances or shared crawl credits apply to admitted captures. Records confirmation, not found or unknown. One check per change every 10 minutes.

| Access | Behavior |
| - | - |
| `watches:write`, `watches:read` | Writes or admits work |

Checks and monitoring can consume workspace capacity. Queued admission is not a completed observation; inspect the returned job or saved state.

## Example request

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

```json MCP theme={null}
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "verify_internal_link_change",
    "arguments": {
      "projectId": "prj_example",
      "changeId": "ilc_0123456789abcdef01234567",
      "requestId": "check-2026-10-21"
    }
  }
}
```

```bash CLI theme={null}
agentlinkops call verify_internal_link_change --args '{"projectId":"prj_example","changeId":"ilc_0123456789abcdef01234567","requestId":"check-2026-10-21"}'
```

```bash HTTP theme={null}
curl --fail-with-body https://app.agentlinkops.com/v1/commands/verify_internal_link_change \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AGENTLINKOPS_TOKEN" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"projectId":"prj_example","changeId":"ilc_0123456789abcdef01234567","requestId":"check-2026-10-21"}'
```

## Returned result

Illustrative data validated against the documented response schema. IDs and dates are examples, not a live account capture. 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` |
| `changeId` | string | Required | change ID from create/list. minLength: `1`; maxLength: `200` |
| `requestId` | string | Required | Caller-generated retry key. Reuse the same key and inputs to retry; use a new key for a new operation. minLength: `1`; maxLength: `128` |

### Validation and omitted values

Checks the live source page through the scan's capture service on the same host, with robots rules obeyed. A broken-link repair may also check its destination. Each admitted capture uses the applicable internal-link page allowance or shared crawl credits.

Link additions confirm when the source HTML contains the target; anchorMatches reports whether the words match. A broken-link repair confirms when the link is gone or its destination loads. A redirect fix confirms when the source no longer links the redirecting address. Link absence requires a complete source capture. A capture without decisive evidence leaves the change unchanged with an unknown result and its reason.

One check per change every 10 minutes (HTTP 429 with retryAfterSeconds). Page-level findings require a website scan; this command refuses them.

## Output fields

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

## 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 `INTERNAL_LINK_CHANGES_UNAVAILABLE`, `INTERNAL_LINK_CHANGE_NOT_FOUND`, `INTERNAL_LINK_CHANGE_CONFLICT`, `IDEMPOTENCY_CONFLICT`, `INTERNAL_LINK_CHANGE_NEEDS_SCAN`, `INTERNAL_LINK_CHECK_COOLDOWN`, `INTERNAL_LINK_CHECK_UNAVAILABLE`, `INTERNAL_LINK_DAILY_LIMIT`, `INTERNAL_LINK_WEBSITE_CHANGED`.

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

## HTTP resource routes

These existing resource routes share the operation’s domain behavior. Their parameter placement, status and response envelope can differ from generic invocation. See [HTTP route details](/reference/http/routes.md).

| Method and route | Success | Details |
| - | - | - |
| `POST /v1/internal-links/changes/{changeId}/verify` | 200 | The path sets changeId. Supply projectId and requestId in the JSON body. One check per change every 10 minutes; HTTP429 carries Retry-After. |
