# Publish a draft

> Publishes the draft to the live agent: what callers hear next. A key must be a write key made with can_publish (403 `key_cannot_publish` otherwise), and the whole accepted suite must have run and passed on this exact text (403 `no_suite_run`, `suite_running`, `suite_failed` or `suite_incomplete`). confirmHash and confirmRevision must be the draft's as read (409 `hash_mismatch`). A person must be an admin. The copilot never publishes.



## OpenAPI

````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json post /v1/agents/{agentId}/drafts/{draftId}/publish
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: SignalMD API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    SignalMD reads a voice agent's production calls and says what to fix, then
    tests whether the fix worked.

    This API exposes the same data the web app shows: agents, calls and their
    traces, signals, issues,

    versions and their comparisons, tests, and test runs.


    Authenticate with `Authorization: Bearer sig_...` (an API key from the API
    keys page). Read keys may

    call every `read` operation; write keys may also call `write` operations,
    within their monthly budget.

    Each operation's scope is in `x-signal-scope`. Errors share one envelope
    (`Error`), lists share one

    cursor scheme (`limit`, `cursor`, `hasMore`, `nextCursor`), and every
    response carries `Request-Id`

    and `RateLimit-*` headers.
