Agent Management API

Below is a comprehensive REST API documentation for the Agent resource, covering both the base /api/agent endpoint (GET, PUT) and the new /api/agent/[id] endpoint (DELETE). All documentation is in English.

Note: An official API client (in TypeScript) and example projects are available at:

1. Overview

We have two primary endpoint groups for managing Agent data:

  1. /api/agent

    • GET: Retrieve a list of agents.
    • PUT: Create or update an agent.

  2. /api/agent/[id]

    • DELETE: Delete a specific agent (and associated data).

2. Mandatory Request Headers

  1. Authorization: Bearer <OPEN_AGENT_BUILDER_API_KEY>

    • Used for authentication. Replace <OPEN_AGENT_BUILDER_API_KEY> with your actual API key.

  2. database-id-hash: <YOUR_DATABASE_ID_HASH>

    • A constant key per user’s database.
    • Obtain this hash from the API tab in the administration panel.

Example:

Authorization: Bearer abc1234exampleKey
database-id-hash: 35f5c5b139a6b569d4649b788c1851831eb44d8e32b716b8411ec6431af8121d

3. Data Schema & Validation Rules

From the agentDTOSchema (using Zod):

import { z } from 'zod';
import { getCurrentTS } from "@/lib/utils";


export const agentDTOSchema = z.object({
  id: z.string().optional(),
  displayName: z.string().min(1),           // Required, min length: 1
  options: z.string().optional().nullable(),
  prompt: z.string().optional(),
  expectedResult: z.string().optional().nullable(),
  safetyRules: z.string().optional().nullable(),
  published: z.string().optional().nullable(),
  events: z.string().optional().nullable(),
  tools: z.string().optional().nullable(),
  status: z.string().optional().nullable(),
  locale: z.string().optional().nullable(),
  agentType: z.string().optional().nullable(),
  createdAt: z.string().default(() => getCurrentTS()),
  updatedAt: z.string().default(() => getCurrentTS()),
  inputs: z.string().optional().nullable(),
  defaultFlow: z.string().optional().nullable(),
  flows: z.string().optional().nullable(),
  agents: z.string().optional().nullable(),
  icon: z.string().optional().nullable(),
  extra: z.string().optional().nullable()
});


export type AgentDTO = z.infer<typeof agentDTOSchema>;
  • displayName is required (min(1)).
  • id:
    • Omit or set null to create a new agent.
    • Provide an existing id to update an agent.
  • All other fields are optional. Some fields accept null.

4. Endpoints & Usage

4.1 /api/agent

4.1.1 GET /api/agent

  • Description: Retrieve all agents. Supports optional query parameters:
    • limit (e.g., ?limit=10)
    • offset (e.g., ?offset=0)
    • Others (e.g., ?id=<someId>) to filter by certain fields.

Example with cURL:

Terminal window
curl -X GET \
  "https://app.openagentsbuilder.com/api/agent?limit=10&offset=0" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer abc1234exampleKey" \
  -H "database-id-hash: 35f5c5b139a6b569d4649b788c1851831eb44d8e32b716b8411ec6431af8121d"

Example with fetch:

async function getAgents() {
  const response = await fetch("https://app.openagentsbuilder.com/api/agent?limit=10&offset=0", {
    method: "GET",
    headers: {
      "Authorization": "Bearer abc1234exampleKey",
      "database-id-hash": "35f5c5b139a6b569d4649b788c1851831eb44d8e32b716b8411ec6431af8121d"
    }
  });
  const data = await response.json();
  console.log("Agents:", data);
}

Example with open-agents-builder-client:

import { OpenAgentsBuilderClient } from "open-agents-builder-client";


const client = new OpenAgentsBuilderClient({
  databaseIdHash: "35f5c5b139a6b569d4649b7...",
  apiKey: "abc1234exampleKey"
});


async function listAgents() {
  const agents = await client.agent.listAgents({ limit: 10, offset: 0 });
  console.log("Agents:", agents);
}

Successful Response (HTTP 200):

4.2 /api/agent/[id]

4.2.1 DELETE /api/agent/{id}

  • Description:
    Deletes the specified Agent record and automatically removes any associated:

    • Results (resultRepo.delete({ agentId: <id> }))
    • Sessions (sessionRepo.delete({ agentId: <id> }))
    • Calendar events (calendarRepo.delete({ agentId: <id> }))

    If the id is missing or invalid in the URL, a 400 is returned.

Example with cURL:
Terminal window
curl -X DELETE \
  https://app.openagentsbuilder.com/api/agent/agent-123 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer abc1234exampleKey" \
  -H "database-id-hash: 35f5c5b139a6b569d4649b788c1851831eb44d8e32b716b8411ec6431af8121d"
Example with fetch:
async function deleteAgent(agentId: string) {
  const response = await fetch(`https://app.openagentsbuilder.com/api/agent/${agentId}`, {
    method: "DELETE",
    headers: {
      "Authorization": "Bearer abc1234exampleKey",
      "database-id-hash": "35f5c5b139a6b569d4649b788c1851831eb44d8e32b716b8411ec6431af8121d"
    }
  });


  const result = await response.json();
  console.log("Delete result:", result);
}


// Usage example:
deleteAgent("agent-123");
Example with open-agents-builder-client:
import { OpenAgentsBuilderClient } from "open-agents-builder-client";


const client = new OpenAgentsBuilderClient({
  databaseIdHash: "35f5c5b139a6b569d4649b7...",
  apiKey: "abc1234exampleKey"
});


async function removeAgent(agentId: string) {
  await client.agent.deleteAgent(agentId);
  console.log(`Agent ${agentId} was deleted.`);
}


// Usage
removeAgent("agent-123");

Successful Response (HTTP 200):

{
  "message": "Data deleted successfully!",
  "status": 200
}

Not Found / Nothing Deleted (HTTP 400):

{
  "message": "Data not found!",
  "status": 400
}

(This can happen if the agent does not exist.)

Missing ID (HTTP 400):

{
  "message": "Invalid request, no id provided within request url",
  "status": 400
}

5. Error Handling

Common error responses and their meanings:

  • 400 Bad Request

    • Validation failed, missing or invalid request parameters, or agent not found when trying to delete.

  • 403 Forbidden

    • For SaaS usage, you might hit usage quotas (if integrated) and be disallowed from creating more agents.

  • 500 Internal Server Error

    • Server-side exceptions (database errors, internal logic failures, etc.).

In any error scenario, the response body generally includes:

{
  "message": "<description>",
  "error": { ... },       // Optional, with error details
  "status": <numericCode>
}

6. Notes & Additional Info

  • database-id-hash is a unique identifier for your user database.
  • The code snippet under the hood also performs an audit log for create, update, or delete. This is not directly visible in normal operations but ensures record-keeping in the background.
  • When deleting an agent, any associated records in other tables (results, sessions, calendar events) are also removed—this ensures data consistency.
  • If you are using the SaaS mode with usage limits, certain actions (like creating new agents) might be restricted if you exceed your quota.

7. Summary of Endpoints

  1. GET /api/agent

    • Get all agents (optionally filter with query parameters).

  2. PUT /api/agent

    • Create a new agent (no id) or update an existing agent (id).

  3. DELETE /api/agent/[id]

    • Delete a specific agent by its id. Also cascades to related Result, Session, and Calendar records.
