list-models

List the AI models this organization can run, and which one is the default. default names the model that will actually run for an agent that does not name its own — one answer, resolved the same way every call path in the platform resolves it. Returns two id families, both valid in an agent's llm.model: registry holds the AI Models registry entries (ids like mdl_..., the only ones create-agent and create-process-flow accept), and available holds the agent tools’s own list (the system_model sentinel plus instance#provider#org#model composites). settable lists the ids set-model accepts, which is the registry ids: the organization default lives in the registry. Set an agent's llm.model to override one agent, or set-model to change the organization default.

What it is called on each surface

The wire name is list-models everywhere: it is what the Wexa MCP server advertises, the REST path is POST /v1/list-models, and each SDK exposes it under its own language's naming convention.

Arguments

list-models takes no arguments. Everything it needs — which organization and project you are asking about, and who you are — comes from the credential you authenticated with, so there is nothing left for the call itself to carry. Send an empty object.

project_id, projectID, organization_id and executed_by are not arguments you pass: the platform binds all four from the credential you authenticated with, and both SDKs refuse them before the request leaves your process — see server-bound arguments.

What it returns

The three surfaces wrap this differently, and code written against one will not read another correctly — see return shape.

A real response, captured from a live call to list-models:

registry, settable came back populated and is shown as … here, because the real value runs to thousands of characters. Read it from your own call rather than from this page.

{
  "content": [
    {
      "type": "text",
      "text": "{\"lifecycle_id\":\"qlc_000171\",\"result\":{\"available\":[{\"label_name\":\"WEXA System Model\",\"model_name\":\"system_model\"}],\"default\":{\"chosen\":true,\"model\":\"mdl_bx_anthropic-claude-haiku-4-5-20251001-v1_28ccc24bfca8\",\"source\":\"AI Models registry\"},\"registry\":\"\\u2026\",\"selected\":{\"embedding_model_to_use\":null,\"fallback_model_to_use\":\"system_model\",\"has_chosen_default_model\":true,\"organization_id\":\"6a79a770b6c128ccc24bfca8\",\"resolved_default_model\":\"mdl_bx_anthropic-claude-haiku-4-5-20251001-v1_28ccc24bfca8\"},\"settable\":\"\\u2026\"}}"
    }
  ],
  "isError": false
}

Keeping the lifecycle_id is what lets you ask later why a call was allowed, refused or held.

Calling it

The same call on all four surfaces. Pick a tab once and every code block in the documentation follows it.

The ids in this example are real: they resolve against the project the documentation is written against, so the call runs as written once you point it at your own deployment. Swap them for the ids of your own objects.

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "list-models",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}

Errors

Both SDKs raise the same typed errors, chosen from the gateway's own error string first and its HTTP status second. list-models checks the fabric:orchestrate.read grant, and reaches the seven classes every tool reaches — listed under the common set. These are the ones specific to it:

ErrorStatusRaised when
ConfigurationError5xxlist-models is not available to you. Retrying will not help.

Governance

Every call to list-models runs through the same ten-stage lifecycle as every other Wexa tool: the credential is resolved to a scope, the fabric:orchestrate.read grant is checked, quota is drawn down, the arguments are validated, policy rules are evaluated, the call is executed, the result is shaped and redacted, and an audit record is written. The lifecycle_id in the response is the handle to that record.

list-models only reads, so it is not marked consequential: it is audited lightly and is never held for approval. It still consumes quota and is still refused by policy like anything else.
