Clone an agent
Copy an agent — including its prompts — into a new DRAFT agent.
Copy an agent — including its prompts — into a new DRAFT agent.
The copy gets a new agent_id and its own prompt record. If you do not
supply a display_name, the copy is named "<source name> - variant".
Three things that surprise people:
- The clone usually comes back at version 2, not 1. Its conversation
controls, its calling window and a free-text
categorycan only be applied by a second write, which increments the version; a source with none of those is copied in one write and stays at version 1. - Not copied:
status(the copy always starts as a DRAFT), inbound source configuration, follow-up settings, theknowledge_baselabel (the binding underconfiguration.runtime.language_modelis copied), andanalytics.customwhen it is a list, which is the form this API writes. Set those on the copy yourself. cloned_fromappears in this response only: reading the copy later does not return it.
A prompt over 380,000 UTF-8 bytes makes the source agent unclonable, and this returns 400 (code 1000).
Rate limit: 2000 requests per minute per organization, counted together with every endpoint that has no stricter limit of its own. Exceeding it returns 429 with Retry-After; the X-RateLimit-* response headers report your remaining allowance on every call.

Your Graine API key. Create one in the dashboard under Developers, or via POST /v2/api-keys. Send it as Authorization: Bearer <key>.

Request Body
application/jsonOptionaldisplay_nameDisplay Name | null
Name for the copy. Defaults to ' - variant'.
1Maximum length: 100summarySummary | null
Note for the copy.
2000Path Parameters
agent_idRequiredAgent Id
Agent to copy.
Query Parameters
organization_idOrganization Id
Must match the organisation the API key belongs to.
Response Body
201
The new agent, including the id it was copied from.
agent_idRequiredAgent Id
Stable identifier for this agent. Use it everywhere else in the API.
org_idOrg Id | null
The organisation this agent belongs to. Always the organisation your API key belongs to.
display_nameDisplay Name | null
The agent's name, as it appears in the dashboard.
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. ACTIVE locks the agent: the only change it accepts is {"status": "INACTIVE"} sent on its own, and it must be INACTIVE before it can be edited or archived. The status does not decide whether the agent can place calls.
categoryCategory | null
What kind of work this agent does. Yours to choose, and it changes nothing at call time. Any text is stored, but only conversation, extraction, summarization and custom can be used to filter GET /v2/agents.
agent_kindAgent Kind | null
prompt: the agent follows one set of instructions (prompts). flow: the conversation is a flow of steps and the paths between them (flow) -- see Flow agents.
versionVersion
Incremented on every successful update. Read it back after a write to confirm the change landed.
1timestampsTimestamps
When this agent was created and last changed.
labelsLabels
Free-form labels for your own filtering.
promptsPrompts
The agent's instructions. Empty on a list row — prompts are not fetched while listing.
flowFlow | null
A flow agent's flow: its steps, what each one says or does, and the paths between them, in the format described under Flow agents (Flow API, with complete examples). Null for a prompt agent, and on a list row -- read the agent on its own.
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, and a list row never carries mcp — connected tools are not read while listing.
knowledge_baseKnowledge Base
The name of the knowledge base shown against this agent. A label: what the agent actually searches is configuration.runtime.language_model.knowledge_base_config. Null when none is set, 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 sections below — the same values, not a second set. Change either.
configurationConfiguration
How this agent runs a call.
settingsSettings
Agent-wide switches.
follow_up_configFollow Up Config
What happens after a call, when a follow-up is warranted.
multilingualMultilingual | null
Per-language voices and prompts, when the agent switches language mid-call. Null when it speaks one language.
calling_guardCalling Guard | null
The hours this agent may ring people, or null when it may call at any time. Applies to POST /v2/calls only — a call outside the window is rescheduled INTO the next open window, not refused. spread says where in that window it lands: "window" scatters held calls across it (the default), "asap" rings them all in the opening minute, and a number spreads them across that many minutes. Null on a list row — it is not read while listing.
approved_byApproved By | null
The workspace Admin who approved this agent's live configuration — its going live, or the last change applied while live: {member_id, role, at, request_id, number}. Null on an agent nobody approved (approvals were off, or an Admin acted directly).
approved_atApproved At | null
ISO-8601 UTC: when that approval was applied.
dropped_languagesDropped Languages | null
Returned after an update that sent a language which could not be saved — usually a missing voice. Those languages were not stored.
cloned_fromRequiredCloned From
The agent this copy was made from, echoed from the request path.
400
1000 — malformed or contradictory input. 1002 — a required parameter is missing.
errorRequiredError
Stable integer code from the /v2 error table. Branch on this.
messageRequiredMessage
One human-readable sentence. Wording may change; the code will not.
401
1100 — missing, unknown or inactive API key. 1101 — a browser session token was presented instead of an API key.
errorRequiredError
Stable integer code from the /v2 error table. Branch on this.
messageRequiredMessage
One human-readable sentence. Wording may change; the code will not.
403
1102 — the key is valid but lacks the scope this endpoint requires, or names another organization. GET /v2/scopes reports what a key holds.
errorRequiredError
Stable integer code from the /v2 error table. Branch on this.
messageRequiredMessage
One human-readable sentence. Wording may change; the code will not.
404
1200 — no such resource in your organization. A resource belonging to another organization answers 404, never 403.
errorRequiredError
Stable integer code from the /v2 error table. Branch on this.
messageRequiredMessage
One human-readable sentence. Wording may change; the code will not.
422
1001 — the body or query failed validation; the message names the first offending field.
errorRequiredinteger
Stable integer code from the error table. Branch on this, not on the message.
messageRequiredstring
One human-readable sentence. Wording may change; the code will not.
429
1300 — the per-organization request rate or concurrent-call limit was reached. Carries Retry-After.

One human-readable sentence. Wording may change; the code will not.
503
