# Choose a connection

PUT

/v1/connection-choices

```sh
curl --request PUT \
  --url https://example.com/v1/connection-choices \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{ "projectId": "2489E9AD-2EE2-8E00-8EC9-32D5F69181C0", "agentId": "example", "flowId": "example", "toolId": "example", "need": "example", "connectionId": "2489E9AD-2EE2-8E00-8EC9-32D5F69181C0", "connectionIds": [ "2489E9AD-2EE2-8E00-8EC9-32D5F69181C0" ], "person": { "userId": "example" } }'
```

Chooses which connection an agent or a flow uses, in the project and this server’s environment, for the connection’s app; with `toolId`, which one that tool uses, ahead of the agent’s or flow’s. A tool’s choice may be a set (`connectionIds`): a call of a tool that changes nothing names one of them, by name, else uses `connectionId`. A company choice is the project’s admins’ (`admin` on the project). A person’s (`person`) is that person’s alone, for their own runs, and needs only what running the agent or flow does. The connection must be a candidate (`GET /v1/connection-choices/candidates`, with `owner=me` for your own). Choosing the connection already chosen answers that choice as it is. Choosing another removes that choice and makes a new one at the next `version`, in one step.

## Parameters

### Header Parameters

**Idempotency-Key**

string

\>= 1 characters

Caller-supplied idempotency key, scoped to the caller: the same key from someone else in the workspace is their own request (from 0.1.5). Retries with the same key return the original response byte-identical (per `docs/API-ROUTE-CONVENTIONS.md` §3.1). A retry sent while the first request still runs is answered `409 idempotency-key-in-flight` with `Retry-After`, on a runtime whose store holds keys (from 0.1.5); retry after it, and you get the first request’s answer. An answer that carries a secret (a new API key or public run token, a session token, a generated signing secret) isn’t kept: a retry gets `409 idempotency-key-replay-withheld`, with the first request’s status and when it succeeded (from 0.1.5). A request whose key store can’t be read before it runs is answered `503 idempotency-store-unavailable` with `Retry-After`: nothing ran, so retry with the same key (from 0.3.0).

## Request Bodyrequired

application/json

Name what the choice is for: `agentId` or `flowId`, one of them, and `toolId` for a tool’s own. A company choice is a project admin’s; a person’s (`person`) is theirs alone.

object

**projectId**

required

string format: uuid

**agentId**

One of the project’s agents.

string

\>= 1 characters

**flowId**

One of the project’s flows.

string

\>= 1 characters

**toolId**

One of the agent’s or flow’s tools that uses the connection’s app.

string

\>= 1 characters

**need**

The tool’s name for the connection. It may be left out when the tool uses the app once.

string

\>= 1 characters

**connectionId**

required

One of the candidates (`GET /v1/connection-choices/candidates`, with `owner=me` for a person’s own). The choice is for its app. With `connectionIds`, the set’s default.

string format: uuid

**connectionIds**

A set, for a tool’s choice: 2 to 10 different candidates, `connectionId` among them, each named. Only for a tool that changes nothing, doesn’t declare `sensitive-data-egress` and has no `accounts` input of its own (`GET /v1/connection-choices/needs`).

Array\<string>

\>= 2 items <= 10 items unique items

**person**

A choice of your own connection, for your own runs: you.

object

**userId**

required

\>= 1 characters

## Responses

### 200

The choice.

application/json

Which connection an agent or a flow uses for an app in a project, in one env: `agentId` or `flowId`, one of them. The company’s, or a person’s own (`person`), for their runs. With `toolId`, it’s that tool’s, which comes before the agent’s or flow’s. A choice is never changed: changing it removes it and makes a new one at the next version.

object

**choiceId**

required

string format: uuid

**projectId**

required

string format: uuid

**envName**

required

string

**agentId**

string

**flowId**

string

**app**

required

The app’s entry id (`google`): the connection’s.

string

**toolId**

The tool it’s for, with `need`. Absent: the agent’s or flow’s choice, for every tool’s need of the app.

string

**need**

The tool’s name for the connection (`calendar`), with `toolId`.

string

**connectionId**

required

The chosen connection, and a set’s default. A choice of a connection that’s since been disconnected stays until it’s set again or removed.

string format: uuid

**connectionIds**

A set: the connections a call of the tool may name one of (by its name), `connectionId` among them. A call that names none uses `connectionId`. Only a tool’s choice, for a tool that changes nothing. Absent for one connection.

Array\<string>

\>= 2 items <= 10 items

**person**

Whose choice it is, for a person’s connection: theirs alone to make, change or remove. Absent: the company’s.

object

**userId**

required

string

\>= 1 characters

**version**

required

From 1, per project, env, agent or flow, app, tool and need, and person.

integer

\>= 1

**createdAt**

required

string format: date-time

**createdBy**

required

string

**removedAt**

When it was removed, or replaced by a new choice. Only a removed choice has it.

### 400

A malformed body or unknown field; a `projectId` or `connectionId` that is not a UUID; both `agentId` and `flowId`, or neither; a person’s own connection in a company choice; a `person` who isn’t the caller; a `toolId` the agent or flow has no tool of the app by; a `need` that’s missing for a tool that uses the app twice, or one the tool doesn’t have; or a set that isn’t for one tool, isn’t 2 to 10 different connections with the default among them, is for a tool that changes things, may send what it reads elsewhere (`sensitive-data-egress`) or has its own `accounts` input, or has a member with no name (`bad-input`, `details.field`).
