This is valuable when using liquid formatting in agent variation prompts. Input data schema is also valuable when using an agent as a sub-agent, as the schema is used as the tool's input parameter schema. If omitted, the sub-agent schema will be loaded with a simple "prompt" free text string as its schema. - `outputDefinition` object — Optional output definition for objectives created for this agent. When provided, Cadenya will append a tool to that will be called by the LLM in use by the variant to extract information in the format provided here.

These are used in conjunction with the context-aware tool search and can help select the best tools for the task. - `maxTools` integer - `hints` string[] - `rerankThreshold` number, float — Rerank Threshold is an optional value that instructs whether or not to run a search result through a embedding/reranker process which can improve performance and reduce context bloat when tools reach the configured threshold.

Populated on reads so clients can render a variation's full assignment list without calling the add/remove endpoints just to enumerate. - `id` string - `tool` BareMetadata — BareMetadata contains the minimal metadata for a resource: the ID and an optional human-readable name. These are used for reference fields where the full metadata (account scoping, timestamps, labels, external IDs) is not needed — e.g., the tool references inside an agent variation spec or the tools assigned to an objective. Both fields are server-populated; clients provide IDs through sibling fields rather than by constructing a BareMetadata themselves. - … - `toolSet` BareMetadata — BareMetadata contains the minimal metadata for a resource: the ID and an optional human-readable name. These are used for reference fields where the full metadata (account scoping, timestamps, labels, external IDs) is not needed — e.g., the tool references inside an agent variation spec or the tools assigned to an objective.

Both fields are server-populated; clients provide IDs through sibling fields rather than by constructing a BareMetadata themselves. - … - `position` integer — Position in the variation's baseline stack. Lower values sit lower; the highest-position assignment is on top of the variation's baseline. Gaps are fine — only relative position matters. Positions must be unique within a variation; a request that would collide with an existing assignment's position is rejected with InvalidArgument. - `memoryLayerCount` integer — Count of memory layer assignments. - `memoryStack` MemoryReference[] — Memory layers/entries to push onto this objective's memory stack on top of the baseline stack inherited from the selected variation. Array order is push order: the first element sits lower in the objective's contribution to the stack; the LAST element ends up on top of the effective stack. Entries pinned via memory_entry_id behave as single-entry layers at their position. System-managed layers (e.g., episodic) cannot be referenced here; they attach themselves automatically based on episodic_key. Stack size cap: the TOTAL effective stack (variation's memory layers + this field) must not exceed 10 entries. A request that would produce an effective stack larger than 10 is rejected with InvalidArgument. - `memoryLayerId` string - `memoryEntryId` string — When set, pushes only this entry from memory_layer_id onto the stack — behaves as a single-entry layer (only this key resolves at this position). The entry must belong to memory_layer_id; mismatches are rejected with InvalidArgument. - `sourceScheduleId` string — ID of the AgentSchedule that produced this objective, when applicable.

Returned on reads so clients can see exactly what stack the objective is using without having to re-join variation state. - `memoryLayerId` string - `memoryEntryId` string — When set, pushes only this entry from memory_layer_id onto the stack — behaves as a single-entry layer (only this key resolves at this position).
