Invites a user to test an agent.
The invited user must be RCS-enabled and reachable by the RBM platform. When an agent invites a user to become a tester, an RBM platform management agent sends a message to the user asking for confirmation that she wants to be a tester of the agent. Once the user confirms, she becomes a tester.
An agent that has not yet launched can only interact with users who are testers of that agent. If an unlaunched agent attempts to send a message, event, or capability callback to a non-tester, the RBM platform returns a 403 PERMISSION_DENIED error.
An agent can send 20 tester requests each day with a total maximum of 200 tester requests. If you send tester requests above those limits, the RBM platform returns a 429 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED response.
