Async — returns `{"execution_id": "", "status": "queued"}`; poll `GET /executions/` for completion. Triggered agents need `target_entity_id` in the body; scheduled agents need nothing. Conversational agents are rejected (400 `invalid_for_conversational`) — reach them via `POST /chat/sessions`. At-least-once: a retried 5xx can produce a duplicate run. ## OpenAPI ````yaml https://api.neoagent.io/public-api/openapi.json post /public-api/agents/{agent_id}/run-now openapi: 3.1.0 info: description: >- Neo's public contract for the dashboard ChatAgent, partner integrations, and MSP automation. Every response is wrapped in a `{data, meta}` envelope; errors use `{error: {code, message, details?}, meta: {request_id}}`. Authenticate with a `Bearer neo_sk__` API key (service account) or a Microsoft Entra ID JWT (dashboard user). Signed-URL endpoints (end-user feedback links) take a `signature` query parameter instead. title: Neo Public API version: 1.0.0 servers: - url: https://api.neoagent.io security: [] tags: - description: Service metadata — health, OpenAPI. name: Meta - description: Agents and workflows — read, version history, delete, stats. name: Agents - description: Agent/workflow execution history, sub-resources, retry/cancel. name: Executions - description: PSA webhook events and their workflow-match results. name: Callbacks - description: Technician-in-the-loop approval requests. name: TIL requests - description: RMM script executions triggered by agents. name: RMM scripts - description: Dispatch-agent field-update decisions. name: Dispatch - description: The authenticated tenant. name: Tenant - description: Agent-builder schema catalogs (raw JSON payloads). name: Schemas - description: Escalate to the Neo team (HubSpot ticket). name: Escalation - description: Tenant settings. name: Settings - description: Tenant API-key management (dashboard JWT only). name: API keys - description: End-user feedback links (signed-URL auth). name: Feedback - description: End-client companies (CRUD + bulk-update). name: End companies - description: Channels — bind a CONVERSATIONAL agent to a transport (Teams). name: Channels - description: PSA/RMM/M365 integration status and connection management. name: Integrations - description: Technician roster (controls TIL routing and paging). name: Technicians - description: Future runs queued for TRIGGERED agents. name: Scheduled work - description: Subscription state and customer-facing credit usage (no provider $). name: Billing - description: Inbox messages and announcements. name: Inbox & Comms - description: Tenant-authored agent skills (CRUD) and the built-in skill catalog. name: Skills paths: /public-api/agents/{agent_id}/run-now: post: tags: - Agents summary: Run an agent now description: >- Triggers a run immediately.
