# Read an agent with its latest file

`GET /code/agents/{agentId}`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.caveman.so/api/v1`
- URL: `https://api.caveman.so/api/v1/code/agents/{agentId}`
- Auth: one of:
  - OAuth 2
    - Authorization code: `/api/v1/oauth/authorize`
    - Token URL: `/api/v1/oauth/token` scopes: `code:read`
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in cookie `cave_access`
  - API key in cookie `__Secure-cave_identity.session_token`

GET /api/v1/code/agents/{agentId} on the Caveman Cloud control plane. Requires the code:read scope. Not exposed to autonomous agents: The Agents API is driven by a service account's code:run key, or by a person in the Code app and console. An agent connection works inside a Code session and never starts, lists or drives Code sessions or agents from a control-plane connection.

## Response `200`

The agent

- CodeAgent
  - `id` string, uuid, required
  - `organization_id` string, uuid
  - `name` string, required
  - `version` integer, required
  - `summary` object, required
    - `name` string
    - `description` string
    - `engine` string
    - `model` string
  - `file_sha256` string, required
  - `file` string: The agent file's text; on a single read.
  - `created_by_user_id` string, uuid, nullable
  - `created_by_service_account_id` string, uuid, nullable
  - `created_at` string, date-time, required
  - `updated_at` string, date-time, required
  - `archived_at` string, date-time, nullable

## Other responses

- `401`: A person's sign-in or a code:run key is required.
- `403`: The role, the key's scope, or an inactive service account (cave_code_service_account_inactive) refuses.
- `2XX`: Successful response. Exact status depends on synchronous or durable delivery outcome.
- `4XX`: Structured failure. `error.code` is stable; `error.request_id` is echoed in the x-cave-request-id header.
- `5XX`: Structured failure. `error.code` is stable; `error.request_id` is echoed in the x-cave-request-id header.
