}

Example

curl -X DELETE https://cc.teamday.ai/api/v1/agents/agent_abc123 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TEAMDAY_TOKEN"

Notes

Soft Delete Behavior:

  • Agent is marked with deletedAt timestamp
  • Agent no longer appears in list results
  • Agent cannot be retrieved or updated
  • Execution history preserved
  • Cannot be undeleted via API (contact support to restore)

Alternative to deletion:

  • Consider updating visibility to "private" to hide from organization
  • Update name to include "Archived" prefix

Execute Agent (Currently Unavailable)

Status: 🔴 BROKEN - 500 Internal Server Error

Execute an agent with a message and receive a response.

Request

POST /api/v1/agents/[id]/execute

Headers:

Authorization: Bearer td_xxxxx...
Content-Type: application/json

Path Parameters:

  • id (string) - Agent ID (format: agent_xxx)

Body:

{
  "message": "Analyze this data and provide insights",
  "stream": false
}

Fields:

  • message (string, required) - User message to send to agent
  • stream (boolean, optional) - Enable streaming response (default: false)

Known Issue

Current behavior:

curl -X POST https://cc.teamday.ai/api/v1/agents/agent_abc123/execute \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TEAMDAY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "message": "hello",
    "stream": false
  }'

Response:

{
  "error": true,
  "statusCode": 500,
  "statusMessage": "Internal Server Error",
  "message": "Chat execution failed"
}

Root Cause: Internal /api/claude-code/chat endpoint is returning 500 errors.

Workaround: Use the web interface at cc.teamday.ai for agent execution until this is resolved.

Tracking: This is a known critical issue and is being actively investigated.

Expected Behavior (When Fixed)

Non-streaming response:

{
  "executionId": "exec_xyz789",
  "agentId": "agent_abc123",
  "response": "Based on my analysis of the data...",
  "status": "completed",
  "createdAt": "2025-12-09T15:30:00Z",
  "completedAt": "2025-12-09T15:30:45Z"
}

Streaming response:

data: {"type":"token","content":"Based"}
data: {"type":"token","content":" on"}
data: {"type":"token","content":" my"}
...
data: {"type":"done","executionId":"exec_xyz789"}

Visibility Levels

Agents support three visibility levels that control who can see and use them:

Private

Level: "private"

Access:

  • Visible only to the creator
  • Only creator can execute
  • Not visible in organization's agent list

Use cases:

  • Personal assistants
  • Experimental agents
  • Sensitive workflows

Organization

Level: "organization"

Access:

  • Visible to all organization members
  • All members can execute
  • Appears in organization's shared agents

Use cases:

  • Team collaboration
  • Shared knowledge bases
  • Company-wide tools

Public (Future)

Level: "public"

Access:

  • Visible to everyone (future feature)
  • Anyone can execute (future feature)
  • Listed in public agent marketplace (future feature)

Use cases:

  • Community-shared agents
  • Open-source tools
  • Public demos

Status: Not yet implemented. Currently treated same as organization.

Best Practices

Agent Design

System Prompts:

  • Be specific about the agent's role and capabilities
  • Include examples of desired behavior
  • Set clear boundaries on what the agent should/shouldn't do
  • Keep prompts under 2000 characters for optimal performance

Example:

{
  "systemPrompt": "You are a code review assistant specializing in Python. Focus on:\n1. Code quality and readability\n2. Performance optimizations\n3. Security vulnerabilities\n4. Best practices\n\nProvide constructive feedback with specific examples."
}

Naming Conventions

Agent Names:

  • Use descriptive, action-oriented names
  • Include the agent's specialty or domain
  • Keep under 50 characters

Good examples:

  • "Python Code Reviewer"
  • "Customer Support Assistant"
  • "Data Analysis Agent"

Avoid:

  • Generic names like "Agent 1", "My Agent"
  • Very long names that truncate in UI

Security

Visibility:

  • Default to "private" for new agents
  • Only use "organization" for agents vetted by team
  • Review system prompts before making agents organization-wide

Sensitive Data:

  • Don't include API keys or credentials in system prompts
  • Use TeamDay's [secrets management instead
  • Agents inherit user permissions - scope tokens appropriately

Performance

Agent Updates:

  • Changes to systemPrompt take effect immediately on next execution
  • No need to recreate agent to update behavior
  • Consider versioning by including version in agent name (e.g., "Research Assistant v2")

Rate Limiting:

  • While no formal limits exist, avoid creating 100+ agents
  • Reuse agents with different messages rather than creating duplicates
  • Delete unused agents to keep organization clean

Common Patterns

Multi-Purpose Agent

Create one agent that handles multiple related tasks:

curl -X POST https://cc.teamday.ai/api/v1/agents \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TEAMDAY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Engineering Assistant",
    "role": "Code review, documentation, and debugging",
    "systemPrompt": "You are an engineering assistant. Depending on the task:\n- Code review: Focus on quality, security, performance\n- Documentation: Write clear, concise docs with examples\n- Debugging: Analyze errors and suggest fixes\n\nAdapt your response to the user'\''s specific request.",
    "visibility": "organization"
  }'

Specialized Agent

Create focused agents for specific domains:

curl -X POST https://cc.teamday.ai/api/v1/agents \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TEAMDAY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "SQL Query Optimizer",
    "role": "SQL optimization and tuning",
    "systemPrompt": "You are an expert SQL optimizer. Analyze queries for:\n- Index usage\n- Join efficiency\n- Query plan optimization\n- Best practices for the target database (PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc.)\n\nProvide specific, actionable recommendations.",
    "visibility": "private"
  }'

Team Collaboration

Share agents across your organization:

# Create shared agent
curl -X POST https://cc.teamday.ai/api/v1/agents \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TEAMDAY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Team Standup Helper",
    "role": "Daily standup organization",
    "systemPrompt": "Help teams organize daily standups. Format updates in a clear, concise way:\n- What was accomplished yesterday\n- Plans for today\n- Any blockers\n\nKeep responses brief and actionable.",
    "visibility": "organization"
  }'

Error Handling

Common Errors

400 Bad Request:

  • Missing required fields (name, systemPrompt)
  • Invalid visibility value
  • Malformed JSON

401 Unauthorized:

  • Missing Authorization header
  • Invalid or expired token
  • Token lacks required permissions

404 Not Found:

  • Agent ID doesn't exist
  • Agent was deleted
  • Wrong organization (agent belongs to different org)

500 Internal Server Error:

  • Database connectivity issues
  • Service temporarily unavailable
  • Contact support if persistent

Error Response Format

All errors follow this structure:

{
  "error": true,
  "statusCode": 400,
  "statusMessage": "Bad Request",
  "message": "Detailed error description"
}

Retry Strategy

Recommended approach:

async function createAgentWithRetry(agentData, maxRetries = 3) {
  for (let i = 0; i < maxRetries; i++) {
    try {
      const response = await fetch('https://cc.teamday.ai/api/v1/agents', {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
          'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.TEAMDAY_TOKEN}`,
          'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        },
        body: JSON.stringify(agentData)
      })

      if (!response.ok) {
        const error = await response.json()

        // Don't retry client errors (4xx)
        if (response.status >= 400 && response.status < 500) {
          throw new Error(error.message)
        }

        // Retry server errors (5xx)
        if (i === maxRetries - 1) throw new Error(error.message)

        // Exponential backoff
        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, Math.pow(2, i) * 1000))
        continue
      }

      return await response.json()

    } catch (err) {
      if (i === maxRetries - 1) throw err
    }
  }
}
