FAQPage Schema
How do I update an agent's role and status in a local catalog via REST API?▼

To update an agent catalog via REST, send a PATCH request to http://localhost:$ID_AGENT_PORT/catalog with a JSON payload containing description, role, expertise, status, and optional currentTask to reflect real-time availability.

What JSON payload fields are required to patch an agent catalog endpoint?▼

The agent catalog PATCH endpoint requires a JSON payload with description, role, expertise, and status fields, plus an optional currentTask field to broadcast current activities to teammates and managers.

Can I broadcast agent capability changes to teammates using a local REST endpoint?▼

Yes, you can broadcast agent capability changes by sending a PATCH request to the local /catalog REST endpoint, which publishes your agent's updated role, expertise, and availability to teammates and managers in real time.

Does the catalog update skill require any external dependencies or components?▼

No, the catalog update skill operates with zero dependencies and no additional components, requiring only a local REST endpoint available at http://localhost:$ID_AGENT_PORT/catalog to accept the PATCH request.

What's the best way to keep an agent catalog up-to-date during onboarding or status changes?▼

The best way to keep an agent catalog current is sending a PATCH request to the /catalog endpoint with updated JSON fields whenever onboarding occurs, status changes, or capabilities need broadcasting to the team.

Why should I use a PATCH request instead of POST for agent catalog updates?▼

Using a PATCH request for agent catalog updates applies partial modifications to existing role, expertise, and status fields without replacing the entire resource, making it ideal for real-time availability broadcasting.
