Take over a conversation

POST
/api/conversations/{id}/take-over

Transfers a conversation from AI management to human management. After taking over, the AI will stop responding to new messages in this conversation. Use the reply endpoint to send messages manually, and the release endpoint to return control to the AI. This sends a signal to the conversation’s Temporal workflow to pause AI processing.

id
required
string format: uuid

The unique identifier of the conversation to take over.

The conversation is now under human management. The AI will not respond to new messages until released.

Simple success acknowledgment returned by action endpoints (reply, resolve, take-over, etc.).

object
ok
required

Always true on success.

boolean
Example
true

An API key restricted to a brand or workspace named a conversation that does not exist or is in a workspace outside its restriction, or any caller named an id that is not a conversation id (Conversation not found). Nothing is changed.

Standard error response returned by all endpoints on failure.

object
error
required

A human-readable error message describing what went wrong.

string
Example
Conversation not found
code

A machine-readable reason on some refusals, for example ‘key_lock’ when an API key’s brand or workspace restriction does not cover the action.

string
Example
key_lock
missing_scopes

On a 403 for an API key without a scope the endpoint requires: the scopes the key lacks.

Array<string>
Example
[
"mcp:write"
]
entryId

On a 409 with code duplicate_question or duplicate_rule_text: the knowledge base entry or policy that already holds the question or rule text.

string format: uuid
Example
11223344-5566-4788-99aa-bbccddeeff00
connectionId

On a 422 about one MCP connection a request names, from an assignment or an agent create or update (a connection that does not exist, one listed twice, or one that does not declare a tool named): the connection, as the request named it.

string
undeclaredTools

On the same 422: the tool names the connection does not declare.

Array<string>
Example
[
"get_orders"
]
declaredTools

On the same 422: the tools the connection declares.

Example
[
"get_order",
