Agent
Create agent job

}This endpoint creates a background agent job. The job runs asynchronously. Use the get agent job endpoint to poll for status updates.
If the agent edits files successfully, Mintlify creates a pull request and populates the
prLink field in the job response.
Rate limits
- 100 uses per Mintlify project per hour
Usage
curl -X POST https://api.mintlify.com/v2/agent/{projectId}/job \
-H "Authorization: Bearer mint_xxxxx" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"prompt": "Add a quickstart guide for the Python SDK"}'
Authorizations
The Authorization header expects a Bearer token. Use an admin API key (prefixed with mint_). This is a server-side secret key. Generate one on the API keys page in your dashboard.
Path Parameters
Body
application/json
The instruction for the agent to execute.
Minimum string length:
