# Read agent identity and live version

GET https://api.v2.rasen.ai/v1/agents/{agent_id}

Read current identity and live pointer. Configuration is read through draft or version resources.

Reference: https://docs.v2.rasen.ai/api-reference/agents/get

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Create and manage workspace-owned keys through the existing app session routes, outside this public API. Creator and manager identities are audit actors only. Key validity follows workspace policy, expiry and explicit revocation, independently of creator membership. Do not include a workspace-selection header.

## Request

### Path parameters

- `agent_id` (string, required) — Resource identity within the authenticated workspace.

## Response

### 200

Read agent identity and live version.

- `id` (string, required) — Opaque agent identifier. Do not parse its contents.
- `name` (string, required)
- `description` (string, required, nullable)
- `state` (string, required) — draft: never published. live: admits calls. paused: refuses new calls but keeps configuration and history. archived: terminal; hidden from listAgents by default, readable by ID, and draft edits, publication, rollback and call start are refused. Open response vocabulary. Preserve unknown values; never assume they mean success.
- `live_version_id` (string, required, nullable)
- `created_at` (datetime, required)
- `updated_at` (datetime, required)
- `resource_key` (string, required, nullable) — Optional caller-chosen resource key: an opaque external identifier that matches your own record (for example a CRM ID, a configuration-file ID or a UUID) to this resource. Rasen still generates the canonical id; use id in paths and references. Case-sensitive, compared exactly, never normalized or parsed. 1-128 characters from A-Z a-z 0-9 . _ : ~ - and starting with a letter or digit; UUIDs and ULIDs are valid. Unique per resource type within one workspace; separate environment workspaces can reuse the same key. Set only at creation and immutable afterwards. A create with a key that already exists returns 409 resource_key_conflict with details.existing_id; it never updates or returns the existing resource. Not an Idempotency-Key: that header identifies one request intent for 24 hours, and a same-intent replay returns its original receipt before the resource-key check runs. Uniqueness includes archived resources. A key becomes free again only after its resource is permanently deleted or erased (a deleted secret or a deleted knowledge source); archive never frees it.

## Errors

### 400 Bad Request Error

Invalid input or cursor. Correct the request.

- `error` (ErrorResponseError, required) — Only code and message are required. Rasen sends details, request_id and retry on every error, but clients must parse an error that lacks them, so a typed error is never lost to a parsing failure.

### 401 Unauthorized Error

Invalid, expired or revoked API key. Creator departure or membership changes do not invalidate a workspace key.

- `error` (ErrorResponseError, required) — Only code and message are required. Rasen sends details, request_id and retry on every error, but clients must parse an error that lacks them, so a typed error is never lost to a parsing failure.

### 403 Forbidden Error

Operation not allowed by current credential or workspace access.

- `error` (ErrorResponseError, required) — Only code and message are required. Rasen sends details, request_id and retry on every error, but clients must parse an error that lacks them, so a typed error is never lost to a parsing failure.

### 404 Not Found Error

Resource absent or not visible in this workspace.

- `error` (ErrorResponseError, required) — Only code and message are required. Rasen sends details, request_id and retry on every error, but clients must parse an error that lacks them, so a typed error is never lost to a parsing failure.

### 429 Too Many Requests Error

Rate limited. Respect Retry-After and retry the same intent where permitted.

- `error` (ErrorResponseError, required) — Only code and message are required. Rasen sends details, request_id and retry on every error, but clients must parse an error that lacks them, so a typed error is never lost to a parsing failure.

### 500 Internal Server Error

Internal error. The effect may have happened. Retry the same request with the same Idempotency-Key; read the resource before creating a new intent. For an operation that takes an Idempotency-Key, a client retry with the same key is safe: the server replays the stored outcome if the first attempt took effect; if the first attempt had no effect, the retry performs the operation once. Never retry with a new key.

- `error` (ErrorResponseError, required) — Only code and message are required. Rasen sends details, request_id and retry on every error, but clients must parse an error that lacks them, so a typed error is never lost to a parsing failure.

### 503 Service Unavailable Error

Service unavailable. Respect Retry-After where present. For an operation that takes an Idempotency-Key, a client retry with the same key is safe: the server replays the stored outcome if the first attempt took effect; if the first attempt had no effect, the retry performs the operation once. Never retry with a new key.

- `error` (ErrorResponseError, required) — Only code and message are required. Rasen sends details, request_id and retry on every error, but clients must parse an error that lacks them, so a typed error is never lost to a parsing failure.

## Types

### ErrorResponseError

Only code and message are required. Rasen sends details, request_id and retry on every error, but clients must parse an error that lacks them, so a typed error is never lost to a parsing failure.

- `code` (string, required) — Stable code. Branch on code (and details.reason for conflict), never on message. Each code has one HTTP status; see components.x-error-catalog.
- `message` (string, required) — Safe description; no provider payload or submitted secrets.
- `details` (map from string to any, optional) — Safe code-specific details. The public fields for each code are listed in components.x-error-catalog. Details never contain a request fingerprint, a hash of a request, secret material or another tenant's data. forbidden may include required_capabilities (a list).
- `request_id` (string, optional) — Same value as the X-Request-Id header. Quote it to support.
- `retry` (string, optional) — Retry class of this code: no (fix the request or state first), yes (retry the same request and the same Idempotency-Key), retry_after (wait for Retry-After, then retry the same request). Open response vocabulary. Preserve unknown values; never assume they mean success.
