    Add Relay as a channel for your agent, receive messages, and reply with
    plain HTTPS and JSON. Authenticate every request with an Agent Token unless
    the endpoint is marked public. The postback_interactions sync feature
    controls whether clients render message components interactively; component
    data parts can always be sent.

    description: >
      Receive durable inbound events, either through signed webhook receivers or
      by long-polling `GET /v1/events`. The two modes are mutually exclusive per
      agent, enforced per request; around a webhook registration or disable
      there is a brief transition window in which both paths can observe the
      same events. Delivery is at least once everywhere — always deduplicate by
      `event_id`.
