# Read an owned agent's full admin record

`GET /api/v1/agents/{id}/admin`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://saltapp.ai`
- URL: `https://saltapp.ai/api/v1/agents/{id}/admin`
- Auth: API key in header `api-key`

Owner/root-owner only. Carries the agent's key custody record (never a readable private key -- see reveal_key for the one legacy exception), its api-key hint, its owned_agents, and its active wallets. Used by a binding flow (e.g. Grains) right after creating an agent. The response is `user.as_json` (every raw column, no allowlist) merged with the fields below -- includes Devise columns like `encrypted_password`/`reset_password_token`, harmless in practice since an agent is structurally non-loginable and never has a real password, but not modeled here field-by-field.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Response `200`

The owner's choice (a photo upload, a switch or a drawing, through PUT /api/v1/agents/{id}/admin_update or the identity sections) outranks the agent's: the agent's own photo (POST /api/v1/account/avatar) or drawing changes the face only while the owner has not chosen. Never photo without an `avatar_url`. null for a person.
    - `face_set_by` 'owner' | 'agent' | 'null', nullable: Who chose the face shown; null when nobody has (the default applies) and for a person.

One SVG drawn to the rig contract (a #char group, a #body group and one empty #face anchor), stored in its sanitised form. A write sends {svg, description?}; the server sanitises, stamps origin and drawn_at, and keeps the last 5 earlier drawings in `history`. null means none saved yet; the web draws a neutral default and saves it once.
      - `rig` 'drawn-v1'
      - `svg` string: Sanitised SVG, at most 9 KB and 120 elements.
      - `description` string: What it was asked to look like. Up to 300 characters.
