Create Access Token

Delete Access Token

List Access Tokens

Converts a sensitive global-level access token into its stable identifier (access_token_id). The access token can be base64 encoded (similar to Authorization header) or passed raw. This enables clients to reference tokens without transmitting sensitive values, e.g., when trying to delete the token or retrieve usage for the token.

Lookup Global Access Token ID

Converts a sensitive workspace-level access token into its stable identifier (access_token_id) within the specified workspace. The access token can be base64 encoded (similar to Authorization header) or passed raw. This enables clients to reference tokens without transmitting sensitive values, e.g., when trying to delete the token or retrieve usage for the token.

Lookup Workspace Access Token ID

Create Agent Execution

List all agent executions matching the query parameters sorted anti-chronologically by when they were last updated (`updated_at`).

Create Customer Portal Session

Get Workspace Subscription

Delete a file at the specified path.

- Deletes only one file with the given file path. Not bulk deletion.
- If there is no file at the specified path, the operation will be a no-op, i.e., it will still return a 204 status code.

Delete File

List files.

- To list files within a workspace, the `prefix` (query parameter) must start with `workspaces/{workspace_id}/`
- Cannot list files across multiple workspaces, i.e., if the `prefix` does not start with `workspaces/{workspace_id}/`, it will return an empty list.

List Files

Set http-only, secure (signed) cookies for accessing (only READ access) files via AWS CloudFront across all accessible workspaces. If no workspace id is provided, no cookies will be set.

Set Signed Cookies

Upload a file (max. 5 GB) to the specified path.

- Specify the `Content-Type` header for accurate file type handling.
- If `Content-Type` is omitted, the system will attempt to infer it.
- For workspace-specific uploads, use path: `workspaces/{workspace_id}/...`
- If a file with the same file path already exists, it will be overwritten.
- If there are unsupported characters in the file path, they will be removed or replaced.
- If the file path is longer than `1024` characters, the file path will be shortened starting from the end.
- Set `strict=true` to fail the request if the file path would be modified during sanitization (e.g., if the file path contains unsupported characters or is too long).

Lease

Ping

List Runs

Create Schedule

Suspend Schedule

List usage events sorted chronologically by timestamp. Events can be filtered by workspace, user, or access token.

Filter combinations:
- Multiple filters (e.g. workspace_id & user_id) use AND logic
- Multiple values for same filter (e.g. workspace_id=123&workspace_id=456) use OR logic

Pagination:
- Use starting_after with event IDs for cursor-based navigation
- has_more indicates if more events exist beyond limit
- total_count (optional) shows total matching events up to 100,000
