Request Body

application/json
  1. body
name*AgentName
Match^\S[\s\S]*\S$|^\S$|^$
Length1 <= length <= 120
setupJob?|

What the agent mostly does: support answers customer questions, store helps shoppers, and booking handles appointments. Omit when no job is stated. Returned as setupJob on the agent; it does not change the supplied definition.

namespaceId?|

The namespace the agent belongs to; it cannot move later. Omit for an organization-level agent. A namespace-scoped key always creates in its own namespace.

definition?|

The first draft. Defaults to an agent with no instructions, knowledge, or endpoints, the default action policy, and the standard model at auto reasoning.
