# Get your own signal

One of your own signals, as GET /agent-signals lists it. To read what it caught, filter the tables on it: GET /tables/leads?agent_signal={key} or GET /tables/companies?agent_signal={key}.

A signal your agent runs itself, with its own tools: hiring spikes on careers pages, posts on X, a newsletter, a list in the CRM. Register it and the user sees it on the Signals page of mySDR, next to the signals mySDR runs: what it watches, where, how often, when you last checked and what it caught. mySDR does not run, schedule or check it: it shows what you report. These routes are the tools `save_agent_signal`, `log_signal_hits`, `list_agent_signals` and `delete_agent_signal` of the assistant server.

## Authentication

Send `Authorization: Bearer gtk_…`. Create the key under **Connect assistant → API keys**. Every `gtk_` key can call these routes, also while the Signals API is closed. A missing, invalid or revoked key is **401**.
