### Overview

Validate the credentials currently stored on an existing entity context sync configuration. Returns a 200 status code if the credentials are still valid against the external entity source. This endpoint requires the `integrations_read` permission.

OAuth apps require the `integrations_read` authorization [scope](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/scopes.md#security-monitoring) to access this endpoint.
