# Update agent profile

> Changes an agent profile by merge patch, answering the profile: an absent field keeps its value.

Use this tool when you need to:
- Rename a profile, or change its model and reasoning effort
- Change or remove what a profile pins its tasks to run on, or its fallback for a plan whose window is spent

Examples:
- PATCH /agent-profiles/{profileID} {"model": "claude-sonnet-5-5", "reasoning_effort": null}
- PATCH /agent-profiles/6f1c2a9e-3b7d-4c55-9a2e-0d8b1f4e7c21 {"runs_on": {"runs_on": "stored", "connection_id": "0b9d3e57-2c1a-4f6e-8d7b-5a4c3e2f1d09"}, "fallback": {"mode": "any_usable", "then": {"runs_on": "aether"}}}

Hints:
- profileID is the profile's uuid. Fields: name (1 to 100 characters, stored trimmed, 400 when blank once trimmed), agent_type, model, reasoning_effort (null clears it to the model's default), runs_on and fallback. The schema answers 422 for a patch naming no field, a value outside its type or enum, an unknown field, or a profileID that is not a uuid.
- The model and effort are checked together with the profile's values of those the patch omits (400 for a pair the catalog does not pair with the profile's agent), and written only while the profile still holds the ones they were checked against (409 agent_profile_changed otherwise); naming them as they are writes neither.
- A profile keeps its agent: agent_type is absent or names the profile's own; another is refused with 409 agent_profile_harness_fixed, or with 400 when the catalog does not pair it with the model and effort.
- runs_on absent, or naming the connection the profile already pins, keeps the stored pin, whoever holds it; default pins nobody; aether, Aether inference (Claude Code and Codex only); stored, a connection the caller holds that works with the profile's agent.
- fallback belongs to a profile that pins a plan, whose window can be spent: none stops, named takes the connection or Aether inference, and any_usable tries the pinned connection holder's held connections before its optional then hop. Only that holder writes a fallback other than none; anyone else omits it, sends the saved one back, or sets none.
- Beside a kept pin, omitting fallback keeps it; sending the saved policy back is the same keep, and is possible only while its hop is still connected, because a read omits the connection_id a named write requires: omit fallback to keep a policy whose hop was disconnected.
- A patch that replaces the pin brings its own fallback: omitted while the saved fallback is not none, it is refused with 409 fallback_required_with_pin; omitted while it is none, it stays none. Unpinning (runs_on default) clears the fallback.
- Refused with 409 for a name another profile has. The pin is refused with 404 connection_not_held for a connection the caller does not hold (the message names the agent to connect one for), 409 connection_harness_mismatch for a connection of another agent, 409 connection_agent_only for the caller's agent's own ChatGPT login, 409 aether_inference_unserved for Aether inference on OpenCode, and 409 aether_inference_unavailable where this deployment serves no Aether inference.
- A fallback is refused with 409 fallback_requires_pin beside anything but a plan pin, 404 connection_not_held when a non-holder writes one or the named connection is not the holder's for the agent, 409 fallback_is_own_connection when the named connection is the pin itself, 409 agent_profile_changed when the pin a kept-pin fallback write was checked against changed before it landed, and the pin's harness refusals (409 connection_harness_mismatch, connection_agent_only, aether_inference_unserved, aether_inference_unavailable) worded for the fallback.
- Use getAgentProfile instead to read the profile before changing it, and deleteAgentProfile to remove it.
- Restricted to an owner or admin of the profile's organization, checked after the body is validated: a member is refused with 403 control_forbidden, a viewer or billing member with 403 org_role_insufficient, a suspended organization with 403 org_suspended, a profile the caller cannot see with 404, and an agent host's grant with 403 agent_host_route_not_allowed; 503 when the membership check is unavailable.

        Changes an agent profile by merge patch, answering the profile: an
        absent field keeps its value.


        Use this tool when you need to:

        - Rename a profile, or change its model and reasoning effort

        - Change or remove what a profile pins its tasks to run on, or its
        fallback for a plan whose window is spent


        Examples:

        - PATCH /agent-profiles/{profileID} {"model": "claude-sonnet-5-5",
        "reasoning_effort": null}

        - PATCH /agent-profiles/6f1c2a9e-3b7d-4c55-9a2e-0d8b1f4e7c21 {"runs_on":
        {"runs_on": "stored", "connection_id":
        "0b9d3e57-2c1a-4f6e-8d7b-5a4c3e2f1d09"}, "fallback": {"mode":
        "any_usable", "then": {"runs_on": "aether"}}}


        Hints:

        - profileID is the profile's uuid. Fields: name (1 to 100 characters,
        stored trimmed, 400 when blank once trimmed), agent_type, model,
        reasoning_effort (null clears it to the model's default), runs_on and
        fallback. The schema answers 422 for a patch naming no field, a value
        outside its type or enum, an unknown field, or a profileID that is not a
        uuid.

        - The model and effort are checked together with the profile's values of
        those the patch omits (400 for a pair the catalog does not pair with the
        profile's agent), and written only while the profile still holds the
        ones they were checked against (409 agent_profile_changed otherwise);
        naming them as they are writes neither.

        - A profile keeps its agent: agent_type is absent or names the profile's
        own; another is refused with 409 agent_profile_harness_fixed, or with
        400 when the catalog does not pair it with the model and effort.

        - runs_on absent, or naming the connection the profile already pins,
        keeps the stored pin, whoever holds it; default pins nobody; aether,
        Aether inference (Claude Code and Codex only); stored, a connection the
        caller holds that works with the profile's agent.

        - fallback belongs to a profile that pins a plan, whose window can be
        spent: none stops, named takes the connection or Aether inference, and
        any_usable tries the pinned connection holder's held connections before
        its optional then hop. Only that holder writes a fallback other than
        none; anyone else omits it, sends the saved one back, or sets none.

        - Beside a kept pin, omitting fallback keeps it; sending the saved
        policy back is the same keep, and is possible only while its hop is
        still connected, because a read omits the connection_id a named write
        requires: omit fallback to keep a policy whose hop was disconnected.

        - A patch that replaces the pin brings its own fallback: omitted while
        the saved fallback is not none, it is refused with 409
        fallback_required_with_pin; omitted while it is none, it stays none.
        Unpinning (runs_on default) clears the fallback.

        - Refused with 409 for a name another profile has. The pin is refused
        with 404 connection_not_held for a connection the caller does not hold
        (the message names the agent to connect one for), 409
        connection_harness_mismatch for a connection of another agent, 409
        connection_agent_only for the caller's agent's own ChatGPT login, 409
        aether_inference_unserved for Aether inference on OpenCode, and 409
        aether_inference_unavailable where this deployment serves no Aether
        inference.

        - A fallback is refused with 409 fallback_requires_pin beside anything
        but a plan pin, 404 connection_not_held when a non-holder writes one or
        the named connection is not the holder's for the agent, 409
        fallback_is_own_connection when the named connection is the pin itself,
        409 agent_profile_changed when the pin a kept-pin fallback write was
        checked against changed before it landed, and the pin's harness refusals
        (409 connection_harness_mismatch, connection_agent_only,
        aether_inference_unserved, aether_inference_unavailable) worded for the
        fallback.

        - Use getAgentProfile instead to read the profile before changing it,
        and deleteAgentProfile to remove it.

        - Restricted to an owner or admin of the profile's organization, checked
        after the body is validated: a member is refused with 403
        control_forbidden, a viewer or billing member with 403
        org_role_insufficient, a suspended organization with 403 org_suspended,
        a profile the caller cannot see with 404, and an agent host's grant with
        403 agent_host_route_not_allowed; 503 when the membership check is
        unavailable.
