Non-idempotent create for tenants that do not mirror a host-system tenant (or when the caller wants an explicit conflict instead of an upsert). If external_id is provided and already taken, responds 409 external-id-conflict with conflicting_resource_id pointing at the existing tenant. For host-mapped tenants prefer upsertTenantByExternalId.

Parameters

Header Parameters

Idempotency-Key

string

<= 255 characters

Optional idempotency key (any unique string, e.g. a UUID; max 255 chars). Responses are cached 24h per (key principal, operation, key); replays return the original status and body with Idempotency-Replayed: true. Reusing a key with a different payload responds 409 idempotency-key-conflict.

Request Body^required

application/json

Plain-create body for createTenant.

object

name

required

Display name.

string

<= 255 characters

external_id

Optional host mapping. If taken, responds 409 external-id-conflict with conflicting_resource_id.

string

<= 255 characters

settings

Tenant-level runtime defaults and caps. Downstream scopes (conversation, message) may only narrow within these.

object

filler_enabled

Default filler-agent enablement — root of the filler cascade (tenant → conversation → message; most specific wins).

boolean

default: true

default_agent_type

Default runtime.agent_type for new conversations (open enum; e.g. claude-agent-sdk, codex, deepagent).

string

default: claude-agent-sdk

max_sticky_ttl_seconds

Cap on any conversation’s sticky lease TTL.

integer

default: 3600

max_concurrent_sticky

Cap on simultaneously leased sticky sandboxes.

integer

default: 5

metadata

Free-form string key–value map for host/adapter bookkeeping (e.g. a host-side reference ID). Max 50 keys; values max 500 chars. Replaced wholesale when provided in updates.

object

<= 50 properties

string

201

Tenant created.

application/json

Unit of isolation mirroring one host-system tenant. Child of the integration key’s root tenant.

object

object

required

string

Allowed value: tenant

required

string

/^tnt_[A-Za-z0-9]+$/

external_id

required

Host system’s tenant ID (namespaced by the adapter). Unique across the integration; natural key for upsertTenantByExternalId. Null only for tenants created via plain createTenant without one.

string | null

<= 255 characters

name

required

Display name. Nullable — external-ID-only creation is valid.

string | null

<= 255 characters

status

required

Suspended tenants reject conversation/message writes with 403 tenant-suspended; reads keep working.

string

Allowed values: active suspended

default_repository_id

required

Tenant default repository — the fall-through of the resolution cascade (message → conversation → user → role → tenant default). Must reference an attached repository.

string | null

/^rep_[A-Za-z0-9]+$/

settings

required

Tenant-level runtime defaults and caps. Downstream scopes (conversation, message) may only narrow within these.
