Duplicate Agent

Changes state - verify before retry Clones an existing agent — copies its current version’s prompt and every setting into a brand-new agent. Reversible: the copy is an unpublished DRAFT that makes no calls, and the original is untouched. Deliberately does NOT copy the phone-number binding, so the clone never starts answering the original’s number. Use it for “make a copy of X so I can tweak it” or “same agent but for the Hindi market”. Resolve the source with list_agents first.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`agent_id`	`string`	Yes	The agent to copy, e.g. agent_abc123
`title`	`string`	No	Name for the copy. Defaults to “<original> (copy)”.

Before you call

Connect and initialize the MCP client with OAuth or an API key for the intended workspace.
Provide the required parameters: agent_id.

Example MCP request

Send tools/call after your client completes MCP initialization. Replace placeholder values with IDs and inputs from your workspace. For object and array parameters, follow the nested requirements in the parameter description instead of treating an empty value as complete.

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "duplicate_agent",
    "arguments": {
      "agent_id": "agent_abc123"
    }
  }
}

The server returns one text content block. Parse content[0].text as JSON when the tool succeeds. See MCP responses and errors for the full envelope and failure behavior.

Verify the result

Confirm the response is not marked isError. Call List Agents to read the affected resource. Verify that the intended state is visible before making another change.

Retry safety

This tool changes workspace state. After a timeout, read the affected resource before retrying so you do not create duplicate or conflicting changes.
