# Wake an agent's computer

> Wake an agent's computer: the container starts, its saved home is restored, and its time is metered as sandbox time under the agent until it sleeps.

<div class="g1t-endpoint"><span class="g1t-method" data-method="post">POST</span><code>/workspaces/{workspace}/agents/{agent}/computer/wake</code></div>

Sessions wake it by themselves; this is for a person. Refused with `payment_required` when the workspace's plan refuses compute. Owners, or the member whose personal agent it is. Returns what [`get_agent_computer`](/reference/api/agents-computers/get-agent-computer/) returns.

- **Authentication:** Required. Send an [access token](/reference/api/#authentication) as `Authorization: Bearer`.
- **MCP tool:** [`agent`](/reference/mcp/#agent) with `action` `wake_computer`, and the same inputs
- **Scope:** An access token needs [`agents:run`](/guides/authentication/#scopes).

## Errors

A failed request answers with one of these statuses and a body like `{"error": {"code": "not_found", "message": "Repository not found."}}`. See [errors](/reference/api/#errors).

| Status | Code | When |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 401 | `unauthenticated` | A token is required, or the one sent is not valid. |
| 402 | `payment_required` | The workspace cannot start this work: it needs the g1t plan or a card check, or it is at a limit. See [usage and billing](/guides/usage-and-billing/#when-work-is-stopped). |
| 403 | `forbidden` | The token is valid but not allowed to do this, such as a member-only change or an agent token outside its repository. |
| 404 | `not_found` | It does not exist, or you cannot see it. |
| 409 | `conflict` | The request conflicts with the current state. |
| 422 | `invalid` | The input is not valid. `message` says which field and why. |
