Chat completions
POST /v1/agents/{agentflowId}/chat/completions
One route, and the only one on the gateway that speaks somebody else's protocol. Point an OpenAI client at it and the call runs a governed Wexa agent underneath — the agent's own model, its own tools, its own knowledge and its own guardrails — while the client sees the response shape it expects.
Pointing a client at it
The base URL is your gateway plus /v1/agents/{agentflowId}, and the credential goes in the usual
place.
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
base_url="https://fabric.wexa.ai/v1/agents/af_abc123",
api_key="fab_sk_…",
)
answer = client.chat.completions.create(
model="ignored",
messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "How did Q3 revenue go?"}],
)
print(answer.choices[0].message.content)
The raw call is just as short:
curl -sS -X POST https://fabric.wexa.ai/v1/agents/af_abc123/chat/completions \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $FABRIC_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"gpt-4o","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"How did Q3 revenue go?"}]}'
{
"id": "chatcmpl-exec_abc_77",
"object": "chat.completion",
"created": 1789469617,
"model": "af_abc123",
"choices": [{
"index": 0,
"message": { "role": "assistant", "content": "Q3 revenue was 4.2M, up 11% on Q2." },
"finish_reason": "stop"
}],
"usage": { "prompt_tokens": 0, "completion_tokens": 812, "total_tokens": 812 }
}
id is chatcmpl- followed by the execution id, so a response can be traced back to the run that
produced it. model in the response is the agent id, not whatever you sent.
Which request fields are real
Only two.
| Field | Effect |
|---|---|
messages | the last message with role: "user" and non-empty content becomes the agent's goal |
stream | switches the response to server-sent-event framing |
Everything else — model, temperature, tools, top_p, max_tokens, response_format — is
accepted and ignored. The call above sent "model":"gpt-4o", "temperature":0.2 and a tools
array, and the execution target received only
{"goal":"How did Q3 revenue go?","caller_id":"user_abc","project_id":"proj_abc"}.
Earlier messages are not discarded from the record, but only the last user message becomes the goal. A system prompt sent alongside it does not reshape the agent. If there is no user message at all:
{ "error": { "message": "messages[] must include at least one message with role \"user\"",
"type": "invalid_request_error", "code": "missing_messages" } }
Streaming is framing, not incremental tokens
"stream": true produces exactly the frames an OpenAI client expects, in the right order:
data: {"id":"chatcmpl-exec_abc_77","object":"chat.completion.chunk","created":1789469617,"model":"af_abc123","choices":[{"index":0,"delta":{"role":"assistant","content":"Q3 revenue was 4.2M, up 11% on Q2."},"finish_reason":null}]}
data: {"id":"chatcmpl-exec_abc_77","object":"chat.completion.chunk","created":1789469617,"model":"af_abc123","choices":[{"index":0,"delta":{},"finish_reason":"stop"}]}
data: [DONE]
Content-Type becomes text/event-stream, and the whole answer arrives in the first chunk.
Rate limit: 60 per minute, per key
This route is the only place on the gateway where the per-key limiter is consulted.
A single fresh key was fired at the endpoint 65 times in one window. The first 60 answered 200;
the 61st and everything after it answered:
HTTP/1.1 429 Too Many Requests
Retry-After: 1
{"error":{"message":"too many requests for this API key — try again shortly","type":"rate_limit_exceeded","code":"rate_limited"}}
A second key, minted on the same project, answered 200 at the same moment — the window is per key
id, not per project or per user.
Three details that change how you should retry:
- The window is a fixed one minute, not a sliding one. The allowance resets wholesale rather than draining.
Retry-Afteris a hard-coded1, not the real seconds remaining. Back off on your own schedule; waiting one second immediately after the 61st call will usually be refused again.
The project and organization quota windows are separate, apply to the governed tool routes, and
produce Wexa's own error body with a genuinely computed Retry-After.
Quota and credits covers them.
A credential with no key id — a user token — is not subject to this limiter at all. That was
confirmed: the same request with a user token answered 200.
Every failure shape
Seven of the ten were produced live; the ledger at the foot of the page says which.
| Status | type / code | When |
|---|---|---|
400 | invalid_request_error / invalid_json | the body is not JSON |
400 | invalid_request_error / missing_messages | no message with role: "user" |
403 | insufficient_scope / forbidden | the credential lacks the agent:run grant |
403 | insufficient_scope / forbidden | the agent belongs to another project |
404 | invalid_request_error / agent_not_found | no such agent |
409 | invalid_request_error / not_ready | the agent has no promoted version |
429 | rate_limit_exceeded / rate_limited | the per-key limit above |
502 | upstream_error / data_service_unreachable | the execution target is unreachable |
503 | unavailable / not_configured | the deployment has no execution target configured |
504 | timeout / execution_timeout | the run exceeded the deployment's timeout |
The 409 deserves a note, because its message is unusually long on purpose:
{ "error": { "type": "invalid_request_error", "code": "not_ready",
"message": "agentflow has no promoted version promote-flow will NOT fix this: it snapshots the flow's shape, not the agent's config. If this agent already has versions, rollback-agent-version makes one live and this endpoint then works — list them with agent-versions. Creating the FIRST version needs the Fabric console (Agent Simulation, an Enterprise-tier feature). run-process-flow and run-agent require no promotion at all." } }
An agent must have a promoted version before this endpoint will run it. If yours does not,
run-agent and run-process-flow need no promotion and are the way through.
Four compatibility limits
401does not speak OpenAI. Every other failure on this route uses the OpenAI error envelope; a missing or invalid credential is refused by the gateway's shared authentication layer before the handler runs, and comes back as Wexa's own shape —{"error":"invalid_token","error_description":"missing bearer credential"}. An OpenAI client that parses errors strictly will fail to parse that one. Handle401separately.usage.prompt_tokensis always0. The execution target reports a total; the gateway puts it in bothtotal_tokensandcompletion_tokensand leaves the prompt count at zero. Do not compute cost from these fields.n,logprobs,toolsand function calling are not supported. There is always exactly one choice,finish_reasonis alwaysstopon success, and tool use happens inside the agent rather than being negotiated with the caller.- There is no
GET /v1/models. The agent id in the URL is the model selector; a client that lists models at startup will not find one.
Per-route ledger
| Case | Result |
|---|---|
| happy path, extra OpenAI fields sent | 200; execution target received only goal, caller_id, project_id |
stream: true | 200, text/event-stream, three frames as quoted |
| no user message | 400 missing_messages |
| no promoted version | 409 not_ready with the full remedy message |
| unknown agent | 404 agent_not_found |
| agent in another project | 403 forbidden |
key without agent:run | 403 forbidden |
| no credential | 401, in Wexa's envelope, not OpenAI's |
| user token instead of a key | 200, not rate-limited |
| 65 calls on one key | 60 × 200, then 429 with Retry-After: 1 |
| second key during the refusal | 200 |
| execution target unreachable | 502 data_service_unreachable |
The status mapping, the request translation and the rate limit are gateway behaviour. The answer text and the token count come from whatever execution target your deployment runs.
