This endpoint creates an agent job based on provided messages and branch information. The job executes asynchronously and returns a streaming response with the execution details and results.

If a branch doesn’t exist, the agent creates one. If files are edited successfully, a pull request is automatically created at the end of the job.

Rate limits

The agent API has the following limits:

• 100 uses per Mintlify project per hour

Suggested usage

For best results, use the useChat hook from ai-sdk to send requests and handle responses.

Authorizations

Authorization · string · header · required

The Authorization header expects a Bearer token. Use an admin API key (prefixed with mint_). This is a server-side secret key. Generate one on the API keys page in your dashboard.

Path Parameters

projectId · string · required

Your project ID. Can be copied from the API keys page in your dashboard.

Body

application/json

branch · string · required

The name of the Git branch that the agent should work on, will be automatically created if it doesn't exist

messages · object[] · required

A list of messages to provide to the agent. A default system prompt is always prepended automatically, so you typically only need to include user messages.

Show child attributes

asDraft · boolean · default: true

Control whether the pull request is created in draft or non-draft mode. When true, creates a draft pull request. When false, creates a regular (non-draft) pull request ready for review.

The AI model to use for the agent job. Use sonnet for faster, cost-effective processing. Use opus for more capable, but slower processing.
