# Reinstate a specific tombstoned tool version

POST

/v1/tools/{toolId}/versions/{version}/reinstate

```sh
curl --request POST \
  --url https://example.com/v1/tools/example/versions/example/reinstate \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'
```

Un-tombstones a previously-unregistered version: clears the tombstone on that version and recomputes the latest active version. Restores the manifest bytes verbatim (semver hygiene: reinstate never mutates). Idempotent — reinstating an active version is a no-op (returns `wasTombstoned: false`). Reinstating any version of a fully-retired tool reactivates the identity: subsequent GETs return 200, dispatch succeeds. Publish is always allowed regardless of retirement state — this verb is for restoring previously-unregistered bytes, not for reactivating a retired identity (a fresh publish does that).

## Authorizations

- **[bearerAuth](https://docs.kindgi.com/v0.1.10/reference/api.md#bearerauth)**

## Parameters

### Path Parameters

**toolId**

required

string

ToolId — dotted namespace (`acme.lookup-order`).

**version**

required

string

Exact semver of the tool version.

### Header Parameters

**Idempotency-Key**

string

\>= 1 characters

Caller-supplied idempotency key, scoped to the caller: the same key from someone else in the tenant is their own request (from 0.1.5). Retries with the same key return the original response byte-identical (per `docs/API-ROUTE-CONVENTIONS.md` §3.1). A retry sent while the first request still runs is answered `409 idempotency-key-in-flight` with `Retry-After`, on a runtime whose store holds keys (from 0.1.5); retry after it, and you get the first request’s answer. An answer that carries a secret (a new API key or public run token, a session token, a generated signing secret) isn’t kept: a retry gets `409 idempotency-key-replay-withheld`, with the first request’s status and when it succeeded (from 0.1.5).

## Responses

### 200

Reinstated.

**toolId**

string

**version**

required

string

**wasTombstoned**

required

`true` when this call un-tombstoned the version; `false` when it was already active (idempotent no-op).

boolean

##### Examplegenerated

```json
{
  "toolId": "example",
  "version": "example",
  "wasTombstoned": true
}
```

### 400

`provider-key-refused`: the version declares or sends a model provider’s key (`details.secret`, `details.providerId`), so it stays retired; publish a version that names a key of its own.

### 409

Idempotency-Key was reused with a different body, or resource-state conflict. Or `tool-kind-mismatch`: the tool’s active versions are of another kind than this one, an MCP endpoint’s tool (`details.endpointId`) or tools published here, so it stays unregistered (`details.toolId`, `details.version`). Or `registry-read-only`: this registry takes no writes (under `kindgi dev`, the pack’s files are the source); the message says what to do instead.
