# Refresh and validate Computer Agent helpers

> Rebuilds the selected Computer Agent's helper registration from the helper source files in its installed skills, then validates the registered contracts and source files. Run this after creating or changing a helper. A successful refresh means the helper is registered and its source passed validation; list the helpers and execute a representative request before making the helper available to conversations.
