Dispatches one verb against a bot the caller's org owns. message runs the bot's bound agent with the request body as the message and streams the agent's answer back VERBATIM — the upstream body, its content type and its status — so a message is a real agent run, recorded, billed and traced exactly like any other, under the caller's own identity rather than a fabricated one. stop and pause are the same single honest capability: they halt the runtime by unbinding the agent while LEAVING THE MACHINE UP, so the bot stops answering but keeps costing — rebind to resume, or delete the bot to tear it down. Stopping is idempotent; a bot with no binding still reports stopped.
Org-scoped and fails closed: a validated principal is required (401 without one) and the bot is addressed under the caller's OWN org, so another tenant's id is not reachable. An unknown action is a clean 400 naming the three it accepts, never a silent no-op, and messaging a bot with no bound agent is a 400.

var result = new ComputeApi(client).postComputeMachinesByIdByAction();The method above is the one at the current release of the document. [email protected] (npm) was generated from an earlier release, where this operation carried a different id, so it spells the method differently — regenerating the clients is what makes the two agree.
