AI Runs

AI features are predefined capabilities (e.g., summarization, analysis, coaching). Each invocation creates a run that tracks execution through steps.

Contract update (2026-04): The POST request body was corrected to match the live API. The input object, agentId, and workspaceId fields are not accepted. Use the messages array instead.

Run Orchestration Walkthrough

List the catalog (GET /ai/features) to discover available feature keys.
Create a run (POST /ai/features/:featureKey/runs) with a messages array containing the user prompt.
Watch the run status via GET /ai/runs/:runId or GET /ai/runs/:runId/steps, and stream incremental events through GET /ai/runs/:runId/stream.
Cancel (POST /ai/runs/:runId/cancel) or retry (POST /ai/runs/:runId/retry) when a run stalls, then capture the final output field once the run completes.

javascript

const orchestrateFeature = async () => {
  const featureRes = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/ai/features`, {
    headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${TOKEN}` },
  });
  const feature = (await featureRes.json()).data.find(
    (f) => f.key === "chain-coach"
  );

  const runRes = await fetch(
    `${BASE_URL}/ai/features/${feature.key}/runs`,
    {
      method: "POST",
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${TOKEN}`,
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({
        messages: [
          { role: "user", content: "Help me maintain my daily vocabulary streak" }
        ],
      }),
    }
  );
  const run = (await runRes.json()).data;
  const stream = new EventSource(
    `${BASE_URL}/ai/runs/${run.id}/stream`,
    { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${TOKEN}` } }
  );
  stream.onmessage = (event) => console.log(JSON.parse(event.data));
};

POST /ai/runs/:runId/cancel

Cancel a currently running run.

Authentication: JWT Bearer token + active AI entitlement required. Rate limit: 30/min

Request

Use the id from Create a Run's response (data.id) as $RUN_ID.

Response

Response Example

json

{
  "data": {
    "cancelled": true
  }
}

Response Fields

Field	Type	Description
`cancelled`	boolean	`true` if the run was cancelled; `false` if the run was not found or belongs to another account

Ownership enforced. You can only cancel runs that belong to your account. Providing a runId that does not exist or belongs to another account returns { "cancelled": false } — the platform does not distinguish between these cases to avoid information disclosure. Cancellation is best-effort; tokens already streamed are not retracted and may still be billed.
