Set an AI employee's own daily caps, which bound what it spends: dailyRunCap (live runs a day) and dailyCallCap (connected calls a day). Each is a whole number from 1 to 10,000; there is no 0, so to stop it, switch it off with setEmployeeStatus. An omitted cap is kept; an explicit null removes it (no per-employee cap). No screen sets these. Read the current caps with getEmployee and state the old and new first. Pass expectedUpdatedAt. On an employee that is switched on it takes effect on its next run: needs their yes; a card’s counts.

Variables

The example sends only what the schema requires. Some operations also need one of several optional variables (one filter or another, say); the description above says which.

employeeIdID!required
dailyRunCapInt
dailyCallCapInt
expectedUpdatedAtDateTime

Response

What comes back under data: a list shows as one entry, and a value as its type.

Errors

400unknown_variable

A variable the operation does not declare. A typo is refused rather than silently dropped.

401unauthorized

No bearer header, or the key is invalid or revoked.

403insufficient_scope

The key lacks the scope the operation requires.

403forbidden

A referenced record does not exist, was deleted, or is outside your organization. The gateway cannot tell those apart.

409idempotency_conflict

A request with this Idempotency-Key is still in flight.

Idempotency

Send an Idempotency-Key of 1 to 255 characters. A finished request retried with the same key replays its stored response, marked Idempotency-Replayed: true; one still in flight returns 409 idempotency_conflict. Keys expire after 24 hours. Write without fear →
