Error Handling
If the request fails, the API will return an error object:
{
"status": "error",
"message": "Invalid agent_id"
}
⚡ Notes
Always include a valid
Authorization
header.If
response_webhook_url
is provided, the agent response will be sent asynchronously.Ensure the
agent_id
exists and is valid.
Structured Outputs
The Call an Agent endpoint also supports Structured Outputs. This allows you to define the format of the response returned by the agent.
How it Works
You can specify the output format in two ways:
From the editor – Define the schema visually in the editor.
Via API request – Send the schema in the request body as a
"text"
value.
In both cases, the schema should always be sent in a minified JSON format, for more details check this page
