Agents

The Agents endpoints of the Voiceland AI API, with parameters, schemas and curl examples.

Last updated:

GET /v1/agents#

List agents. Returns all agents on your account. If your operator has configured guardrails, the expanded agent carries them read-only, and guardrails.input.action_by_channel says what the input guard's action means on each channel **for this agent**. It matters for one value: escalate is a real handover to a person only in a **chat** on an agent whose web_widget.enabled and web_widget.takeover.enabled are both on, because the handover runs through the same path the request-a-human tool uses and that path refuses when either switch is off. On a **voice** call it is refuse plus the fallback line and nothing more, since a phone leg has no takeover queue to enter. So one stored escalate reads back as {"voice": "refuse", "chat": "escalate"} on an agent with the widget handover armed and as {"voice": "refuse", "chat": "refuse"} on one without it - neither is a misconfiguration, they are the same setting reported honestly for the agent you asked about. The field is filled by the server on reads and ignored on writes.

Responses

Code Description
200 Success.
401 Missing or invalid API key.
4XX Request error (validation, not-found, etc.).
5XX Server or upstream error.

Example request

curl "https://api.voiceland.ai/v1/agents" \

      "name": "front-desk"
    }
  ]
}

POST /v1/agents#

Create or update an agent. Upserts an agent from the narrow tenant shape. Server-managed knobs (model, transcriber tuning, durations, tools) are filled from your account defaults; the response returns the fully expanded agent so you can see what was applied. Unknown fields are rejected with 422. If your operator has configured guardrails, the expanded agent carries them read-only, and guardrails.input.action_by_channel says what the input guard's action means on each channel **for this agent**. It matters for one value: escalate is a real handover to a person only in a **chat** on an agent whose web_widget.enabled and web_widget.takeover.enabled are both on, because the handover runs through the same path the request-a-human tool uses and that path refuses when either switch is off.

Request body

application/json Schema: Agent

Field Type Required Description
calendar_id string
call_webhook CallWebhook Optional post-call POST: transcript + summary + extracted custom fields + audio URLs, delivered with retry + HMAC signing.
cdr_export CDRExport Optional lean post-call POST for billing / archive systems: call metadata and, once the call is settled, its charge in a billing block (no transcript or summary).
data_sources array of string Ids of data sources (ds-…) whose latest snapshot is placed in the agent's context at call start. Up to 8.
event_webhooks EventWebhooks Optional real-time per-event delivery (answered / caller utterance / agent utterance / hangup / transfer).
identity Identity Yes The agent's system prompt and first spoken line, your primary content surface.
intents IntentTaxonomy
knowledge_collections array of string
language Language Yes Primary BCP-47 language (drives speech recognition + the default summary language) plus optional secondary fallbacks.
name string Yes Logical identifier: lowercase, alphanumeric plus dash/underscore, ≤64 chars.
notifications Notifications Optional per-call email recap to a list of recipients, independent of call_webhook.
outbound boolean When true the agent is outbound-only (can be dialed via /calls/dial); when false (default) it is inbound-only and answers calls routed to its numbers.
pickup_delay_s integer Seconds to wait after answering before the agent speaks its first line (0 to 15). Use 1 to 2 for a more human pace.
re_engagement_prompt string Line spoken when the caller has been silent for the re-engagement interval.
record_call boolean Yes When true, per-call stereo + per-channel recordings are produced and their URLs exposed.
search_widget SearchWidget Optional public knowledge-search box rendered by /search-widget.js on your site. Independent of web_widget: enabling the chat bubble never enables this, and this serves anonymous readers rather than a conversation.
timezone string IANA timezone for wall-clock formatting at call time. Empty (or a zone the server does not know) means Europe/Athens, the platform default; a new agent created without one has it stamped.
voice Voice Yes The synthesized voice: provider + voice id (+ optional model).
web_widget WebWidget Optional browser-embed voice/chat bubble rendered by /embed.js on your site.

Responses

Code Description
200 The expanded agent.
401 Missing or invalid API key.
402 The agent uses a capability your plan does not include (feature_not_entitled, the message lists the feature codes), or the account has no subscription (no_subscription).
409 Creating this agent would exceed your plan's agent allowance, one pool shared by voice and text agents, counted across your whole account (agent_limit, the message says how many the plan allows and how many exist), or this project's own agent limit. Updating an existing agent is never refused for this reason.
4XX Request error (validation, not-found, etc.).
5XX Server or upstream error.

  -H "Authorization: Bearer VL_API_KEY"

GET /v1/agents/{name}#

Get an agent. Returns the fully expanded agent spec, including the server-filled defaults. If your operator has configured guardrails, the expanded agent carries them read-only, and guardrails.input.action_by_channel says what the input guard's action means on each channel **for this agent**. It matters for one value: escalate is a real handover to a person only in a **chat** on an agent whose web_widget.enabled and web_widget.takeover.enabled are both on, because the handover runs through the same path the request-a-human tool uses and that path refuses when either switch is off. On a **voice** call it is refuse plus the fallback line and nothing more, since a phone leg has no takeover queue to enter. So one stored escalate reads back as {"voice": "refuse", "chat": "escalate"} on an agent with the widget handover armed and as {"voice": "refuse", "chat": "refuse"} on one without it - neither is a misconfiguration, they are the same setting reported honestly for the agent you asked about.

POST /v1/agents/{name}/test#

Start a test session. Mints a short-lived session so you can talk to the agent in the browser without a phone call. Returns a room + join token. A test session is a call: it spends one of your plan's simultaneous-call slots for as long as it runs.

Parameters

Name In Type Required Description
name path string Yes Agent name.

Responses

Code Description
200 Success.
401 Missing or invalid API key.
402 Refused by the billing gate, nothing started or billed. minutes_exhausted: the AI minutes are used up; the message tells the customer to add more minutes or upgrade the plan in the console. package_past_due: the plan fee is overdue (message: "Your plan payment is overdue. Settle it from Billing or upgrade your plan to continue."). package_suspended: the service is paused until the plan fee is settled (message: "Your service is paused until the plan payment is settled. Settle it from Billing to continue."). byok_balance_empty (a new voice call only, never chat): the account runs its voice calls on its own provider keys, which are paid from purchased minutes alone, and it has none left; included minutes do not admit the call, and the message tells the customer to get purchased minutes in the console. The first three codes are in blocked_reason on GET /me/wallet; byok_balance_empty is its byok_balance_empty flag. Too many simultaneous calls for your plan (concurrent_calls_cap): the message names how many your plan allows at once and how many are in progress, counted across your whole account. Nothing was placed or billed; retry when a call ends.
4XX Request error (validation, not-found, etc.).

SearchWidget#

Public knowledge-search box for your own site. It serves anonymous visitors, so it is switched on separately from the chat bubble and must name both the sites that may embed it and the collections it may search.

Field Type Required Description
allowed_origins array of string Exact-match list of page origins that may query this widget ("https://example.com", scheme, host, optional port; no path, no wildcard). REQUIRED when enabled. Exact match only, so serving both the apex and www means listing both.
collections array of string Knowledge-base collection ids this widget may search. REQUIRED when enabled, unlike elsewhere in the API an empty list is not a default here, because for an anonymous reader that default would publish your whole corpus.
enabled boolean Yes Master switch. While false the public endpoints report the widget as unavailable and answer nothing.
lang string Default BCP-47 language of the page the widget sits on, used as the retrieval preference when a query does not state one. Empty means no preference.
no_results_text string Line shown when a search matches nothing.
placeholder string Placeholder text inside the input.
primary_color string Accent colour as a hex literal (e.g. #3B82F6).
result_limit integer Results per query. 0 uses the service default; the service caps the ceiling regardless.
title string Heading rendered above the search box.

TransferWebhook#

Field Type Required Description
custom_fields array of CustomField
enabled boolean Yes
headers map of string
method string
url string Yes

Voice#

Field Type Required Description
audio_tags boolean Expressive delivery: the agent may colour its speech with short bracketed audio tags such as [laughs] or [sighs], which the expressive voice models perform instead of reading. Only takes effect on such a model (Lifelike / Most expressive in the console); tags never appear in transcripts, captions or webhooks, and on any other model they are removed before speech.
model string Optional voice model/engine. A new agent created without one gets the current default for new agents (Lifelike, real-time) with audio_tags on unless the request sets audio_tags; saving an existing agent without one keeps its stored model.
provider string Yes Voice provider identifier.
voice_id string Yes The voice to use.
