Where this happens
Same Task, Other Interfaces
Use the version that matches where you are working now. The subject matter stays the same; the delivery changes by surface.
Do the work
- 1. Identify the correct workspace id and automation id first.
- 2. Send only the fields that should change.
- 3. Use `description: null` when the description should be cleared.
- 4. Set `suspended` to `true` or `false` when the change is about access state rather than metadata.

List Visible Agents
Review the current visible agent bindings before creating a new agent or editing an existing one.
