Update an agent

Partially update an agent.

Partially update an agent. Only what you send is touched.

Send the same shape you read back. To change one control, send one control:

{"configuration": {"session_policy": {"session_ttl": 600}}}

That leaves the other eleven session controls, the other six buckets and everything outside configuration exactly as they were. Nothing you omit is nulled — omission is not an instruction.

Replace or merge, per bucket

  • Merged, key by key, at every depthconfiguration and each of its buckets (runtime and its four blocks, and the five policies), prompts, variables, analytics, integrations, settings, follow_up_config, conversation_config. Send one key inside one of these and only that key changes.
  • Replaced whole — every list. labels, configuration.post_processing, configuration.external_functions, variables.custom and analytics.custom take the list you send in place of the one stored, so send every entry you want to keep.
  • Replaced whole, with blanks backfilledmultilingual. Sending it replaces the stored block rather than merging into it, but any field you leave blank on a language you already had is filled back in from what is stored, so a partial save cannot silently strip a voice or a per-language prompt. Send null to go back to a single language.
  • Scalarsdisplay_name, summary, greeting_message, status, category are set to what you send.

Explicit removals. knowledge_base: null detaches the knowledge base. integrations.mcp: null disconnects connected tools. analytics.custom: null or [] stops per-call extraction. configuration.external_functions: [] removes every function.

An empty body is rejected with 400 (code 1000) before the request leaves Graine. An unrecognised field is rejected with 422 (code 1001) naming the field, rather than being accepted and ignored.

An ACTIVE agent cannot be edited — set its status to INACTIVE first, or this returns 409 (code 1201).

Rate limit: 1000 requests per minute per organization (bucket default). Exceeding it returns 429 with Retry-After; the X-RateLimit-* response headers report your remaining allowance on every call.

knowledge_baseKnowledge Base

Attach a knowledge base, or send null to detach.

calling_guardCalling Guard

The hours this agent may ring people. Applies to POST /v2/calls only; a call outside the window is rescheduled for the next opening, not rejected. Send {"enabled": false} to remove it.

conversation_configConversation Config | null

The flat view of the ten most-changed controls. Writing one here is the same as writing it in its policy bucket.

configurationConfiguration

How this agent runs a call.

settingsSettings

Agent-wide switches.

follow_up_configFollow Up Config

Follow-up behaviour.

multilingualMultilingual | null

Per-language voices and prompts. Sending this REPLACES the stored block; send null to go back to a single language.

Path Parameters

agent_id
Required
Agent Id

Agent identifier.

Query Parameters

organization_idOrganization Id

Must match the organisation the API key belongs to.

Response Body

200

The updated agent, at its new version.

agent_id
Required

summarySummary | null

A short note about what this agent is for. Yours to write; never shown to a caller.

greeting_messageGreeting Message | null

The first line the agent speaks. May contain {variables}.

statusStatus | null

DRAFT | ACTIVE | INACTIVE | ARCHIVED. An agent must be ACTIVE to place calls, and INACTIVE to be edited or archived.

categoryCategory | null

What kind of work this agent does. Yours to choose; it groups agents in the dashboard and changes nothing at call time.

versionVersion

Incremented on every successful update. Read it back after a write to confirm the change landed.

Default: 1

timestampsTimestamps

When this agent was created and last changed.

labelsLabels

Free-form labels for your own filtering.

variablesVariables

Placeholders the greeting and prompts may use.

analyticsAnalytics

What is extracted from every call, beyond the summary.

integrationsIntegrations

Where this agent is wired up: a status callback under webhook, browser calling under webcall, connected tools under mcp. Only what is configured appears.

knowledge_baseKnowledge Base

The knowledge base this agent answers from. Null when none is attached, and null on a list row — it is not fetched while listing.

conversation_configConversation Config | null

A flat view of the ten most-changed controls from the policy buckets below — the same values, not a second set. Change either.
