Add a key credential to an agentIdentityBlueprint. This method, along with removeKey, can be used to automate rolling its expiring keys.
Note
You should only provide the public key value when adding a certificate credential to your application. Adding a private key certificate to your application risks compromising the application.
As part of the request validation for this method, a proof of possession of an existing key is verified before the action can be performed.
Agent identity blueprints that don't have any existing valid certificates (no certificates have been added yet, or all certificates have expired), won't be able to use this service action. You can use the Update agent identity blueprint operation to perform an update instead.
Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.
