# Get agent context for rehydration

`GET /api/v1/agent/chats/{chat_id}/context`

Returns all messages relevant to the agent for execution context/rehydration.

This includes:
- All messages the agent sent (any type: text, tool_call, tool_result, thought, etc.)
- All text messages that @mention the agent

Use this endpoint to load the complete context an external agent needs to resume execution.

Messages are returned in chronological order (oldest first).

## Pagination

Use `cursor` + `limit` for cursor-based pagination (recommended). The response
`metadata` includes `next_cursor` and `has_more`.

`page` and `page_size` are deprecated and will be removed in API 2.0.0 (2026-10-01).
