fix(client): auto-retry agent requests with Bearer when API key is rejected#64
Merged
Conversation
…jected When a profile's API key is stale/revoked and the server returns 401, agent commands now automatically retry with the login session token instead of failing with "API Key Not Valid". This prevents users who have a valid login session from being blocked by an expired API key in their agents.json profile. The new _agent_request() wrapper centralizes all 11 agent endpoint calls through a single retry path: try X-API-KEY first, and on 401 fall back to Bearer if available. No retry occurs when already using Bearer or when the error is not 401. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
All endpoints now use Bearer-first, API-key-second priority, matching the behavior of _headers(). The _agent_request() retry is now bidirectional: Bearer rejected → retry with API key, and API key rejected → retry with Bearer. This eliminates the confusing inconsistency where user commands preferred Bearer but agent commands preferred API key. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

Summary
_agent_request()wrapper that centralizes all 11 agent endpoint calls through a single retry path: tryX-API-KEYfirst, on 401 fall back to Bearer if availableRoot cause
When
agents.jsonhas a default profile with an expired API key, the CLI sendsX-API-KEY→ gets 401 → fails. Even though the user has a valid login session (Bearer token fromdailybot login), the CLI never tried it because the profile explicitly declared an API key.Test plan
