# Mark message as processed

POST https://api.dev.band.ai/api/v1/agent/chats/{chat_id}/messages/{id}/processed

Marks a message as successfully processed by the agent. This completes the current
processing attempt with a system-managed timestamp.

## What It Does

- Sets the current attempt's completed_at timestamp (system-managed)
- Sets the current attempt status to "success"
- Sets the agent's processed_at timestamp (system-managed)
- Updates the agent's delivery status to "processed"

## Authorization

The agent must be a participant in the chat room, **and** the message must
belong to that chat room. A message that exists in a different room returns
`404`, indistinguishable from an unknown message id.

## Requirements

**Requires an active processing attempt.** You must call `/processing` first.
Returns 422 if no processing attempt exists.

## After Calling

Once marked as processed, the message will no longer appear in:
- `GET /messages` (default - returns not processed)
- `GET /messages/next`
- `GET /messages?status=pending`

It will only appear in:
- `GET /messages?status=processed`
- `GET /messages?status=all`
