Webhook events

This page lists every webhook event Cerca emits, with the payload shape and a representative JSON example. For the delivery model, signing, and retry semantics, see Webhooks. For the receive path, see Receiving webhooks.

Envelope

Every delivery shares the same outer shape. The event-specific payload lives under data; everything else identifies which agent, fleet, and thread the event belongs to.

Field	Type	Description
`id`	`string`	Stable ID for this event. Mirrors the `X-Agent-Delivery-Id` header and is the right key to dedupe on.
`event`	`string`	The event type, e.g. `thread.completed`. Mirrors `X-Agent-Event`.
`timestamp`	`string`	ISO 8601 timestamp the event was generated at.
`agentId`	`string`	Agent the event belongs to.
`orgId`	`string`	Organization that owns the agent.
`fleetId`	`string`	Fleet the subscription is scoped to.
`threadId`	`string \| null`	Thread the event belongs to, if any. `null` for agent- and connection-level events.
`data`	`object`	Event-specific payload. See sections below.

{
  "id": "evt_01HZX9F4G2N3K7B0Q1WVYE6T8M",
  "event": "thread.completed",
  "timestamp": "2026-05-04T12:00:00.000Z",
  "agentId": "agent_abc123",
  "orgId": "org_acme",
  "fleetId": "fleet_internal_ops",
  "threadId": "thread_xyz789",
  "data": {
    "status": "idle",
    "previousStatus": "running",
    "result": "Booked the flight and emailed the itinerary."
  }
}

Agent

`agent.created`

Fired when a new agent is provisioned in the fleet.

Field	Type	Description
`agent`	`Agent`	The full agent record, minus internal-only fields.

{
  "agent": {
    "id": "agent_abc123",
    "userId": "user_carol",
    "orgId": "org_acme",
    "fleetId": "fleet_internal_ops",
    "configuration": {
      "model": "claude-sonnet-4-5",
      "instructions": "You are a research assistant.",
      "tools": []
    },
    "metadata": { "team": "research" },
    "createdAt": "2026-05-04T12:00:00.000Z",
    "updatedAt": "2026-05-04T12:00:00.000Z"
  }
}

`agent.updated`

Fired when an agent’s configuration or metadata changes. trigger distinguishes the two so you can decide whether to invalidate cached config.

Field	Type	Description
`trigger`	`"configuration" \| "metadata"`	Which kind of change triggered the event.
`agent`	`Agent`	The agent record after the update.

{
  "trigger": "configuration",
  "agent": {
    "id": "agent_abc123",
    "userId": "user_carol",
    "orgId": "org_acme",
    "fleetId": "fleet_internal_ops",
    "configuration": {
      "model": "claude-sonnet-4-5",
      "instructions": "You are a research assistant. Cite your sources.",
      "tools": []
    },
    "metadata": { "team": "research" },

    "updatedAt": "2026-05-04T12:05:00.000Z"
  }
}

`agent.deleted`

Fired when an agent is deleted. The agent record is no longer retrievable, so only the ID is included.

Field	Type	Description
`agentId`	`string`	The deleted agent’s ID.

{
  "agentId": "agent_abc123"
}

Thread

Thread status values are "idle", "running", "awaiting", or "closed".

`thread.created`

Fired when a new thread starts on an agent. The threadId is on the envelope.

Field	Type	Description
`message`	`string`	The user message that opened the thread.
`model`	`string`	Model the thread was created against.

{
  "message": "Plan a three-day trip to Lisbon.",
  "model": "claude-sonnet-4-5"
}

`thread.status.changed`

Fired on every thread status transition. Use this when you want to track every state change; use thread.completed and thread.failed if you only care about runs that finished.

Field	Type	Description
`status`	`ThreadStatus`	The new status.
`previousStatus`	`ThreadStatus`	The status before the transition.
`result`	`string \| null`	Final result if the thread is closing successfully.
`error`	`string \| null`	Error message if the thread is failing.

{
  "status": "awaiting",
  "previousStatus": "running",
  "result": null,
  "error": null
}

`thread.completed`

Fired when a running or awaiting thread settles back to idle with a result. A thread can complete multiple times over its lifetime — once per run that finishes successfully. Always paired with a thread.status.changed event for the same transition.

Field	Type	Description
`status`	`ThreadStatus`	Currently always `"idle"` at runtime, but the contract is typed as the full `ThreadStatus` union — don’t write a typed handler that asserts the literal `"idle"`.
`previousStatus`	`ThreadStatus`	The status before the transition (`"running"` or `"awaiting"`).
`result`	`string`	The run’s final result.

{
  "status": "idle",
  "previousStatus": "running",
  "result": "Booked the flight and emailed the itinerary."
}

`thread.failed`

Fired when a running or awaiting thread settles back to idle with an error. Like thread.completed, this can fire more than once over a thread’s lifetime.

Field	Type	Description
`status`	`ThreadStatus`	Currently always `"idle"` at runtime, but the contract is typed as the full `ThreadStatus` union — don’t write a typed handler that asserts the literal `"idle"`.
`previousStatus`	`ThreadStatus`	The status before the transition (`"running"` or `"awaiting"`).
`error`	`string`	The error message.

{
  "status": "idle",
  "previousStatus": "running",
  "error": "Tool call exceeded retry budget: search_flights"
}

Turn

A turn is one user-message-and-response exchange inside a thread.

`turn.created`

Fired when a new turn starts. seq orders turns within a thread.

Field	Type	Description
`turnId`	`string`	The new turn’s ID.
`seq`	`number`	Monotonic sequence number within the thread.
`message`	`string`	The user message that opened this turn.
`startedAt`	`string`	ISO 8601 timestamp the turn started.

{
  "turnId": "turn_01HZX9F4G2N3K7B0Q1WVYE6T8M",
  "seq": 3,
  "message": "Now book the cheapest of the three.",
  "startedAt": "2026-05-04T12:00:00.000Z"
}

`turn.completed`

Fired when a turn finishes successfully.

Field	Type	Description
`turnId`	`string`	The turn’s ID.
`seq`	`number`	Sequence number within the thread.
`status`	`"completed"`	Always `"completed"` for this event.
`result`	`string \| null`	The turn’s result text, if any.
`error`	`string \| null`	Always `null` for completed turns; included for shape parity with `turn.failed`.
`tokenUsage`	`TokenUsage \| null`	Input and output token counts, when available.
`completedAt`	`string`	ISO 8601 timestamp the turn finished.

{
  "turnId": "turn_01HZX9F4G2N3K7B0Q1WVYE6T8M",
  "seq": 3,
  "status": "completed",
  "result": "Booked TAP flight TP202 for $312.",
  "error": null,
  "tokenUsage": {
    "inputTokens": 1842,
    "outputTokens": 256
  },
  "completedAt": "2026-05-04T12:00:08.000Z"
}

`turn.failed`

Fired when a turn ends in failure. Same shape as turn.completed with a "failed" status and a populated error.

Field	Type	Description
`turnId`	`string`	The turn’s ID.
`seq`	`number`	Sequence number within the thread.
`status`	`"failed"`	Always `"failed"` for this event.
`result`	`string \| null`	Partial result, if any.
`error`	`string \| null`	Error message describing the failure.
`tokenUsage`	`TokenUsage \| null`	Token usage up to the point of failure.
`completedAt`	`string`	ISO 8601 timestamp the turn ended.

{
  "turnId": "turn_01HZX9F4G2N3K7B0Q1WVYE6T8M",
  "seq": 3,

  },
  "completedAt": "2026-05-04T12:00:08.000Z"
}

Message

`message.created`

Fired when a new user or assistant message is appended to a thread. Tool messages and intermediate assistant content do not fire this event — use thread streaming for the full transcript. The message body is not included in this payload. You only get the role and metadata; to read what was actually said, fetch the message via the API or subscribe to thread streaming.

Field	Type	Description
`turnId`	`string \| null`	Turn the message belongs to, if any.
`seq`	`number`	Monotonic sequence number within the thread.
`role`	`"user" \| "assistant"`	Who authored the message.
`createdAt`	`string`	ISO 8601 timestamp the message was created.

{
  "turnId": "turn_01HZX9F4G2N3K7B0Q1WVYE6T8M",
  "seq": 7,
  "role": "assistant",
  "createdAt": "2026-05-04T12:00:08.000Z"
}

Approval

`approval.requested`

Fired when a tool call requires human approval before running. Surface the approval to a human and resolve it via the API; the resolution drives an approval.resolved event.

Field	Type	Description
`approval`	`PublicWebhookApprovalRequest`	The approval request, including tool, input, and timeout.

{
  "approval": {
    "id": "approval_01HZX9F4G2N3K7B0Q1WVYE6T8M",
    "threadId": "thread_xyz789",
    "turnId": "turn_01HZX9F4G2N3K7B0Q1WVYE6T8M",
    "toolName": "book_flight",
    "runtimeToolName": "book_flight",
    "input": {
      "carrier": "TAP",
      "flightNumber": "TP202",
      "priceUsd": 312
    },
    "toolUseId": "toolu_01ABC",
    "toolIndex": 0,
    "status": "pending",
    "timeoutMs": 3600000,

Field	Type	Description
`approvalId`	`string`	ID of the resolved approval.
`decision`	`"approved" \| "denied" \| "timed_out" \| "cancelled"`	How the approval was resolved.

{
  "approvalId": "approval_01HZX9F4G2N3K7B0Q1WVYE6T8M",
  "decision": "approved"
}

`approval.granted`

Fired when a user grants standing approval for a tool, scoped to either a single thread or the whole agent. Subsequent calls to that tool within the scope skip the approval step.

Field	Type	Description
`scope`	`"thread" \| "agent"`	Scope the grant applies to.
`toolName`	`string`	Tool the grant covers.
`threadId?`	`string`	Thread the grant applies to, when `scope` is `"thread"`.
`grantId`	`string`	ID of the new grant.

{
  "scope": "thread",
  "toolName": "book_flight",
  "threadId": "thread_xyz789",
  "grantId": "grant_01HZX9F4G2N3K7B0Q1WVYE6T8M"
}

`name`	`string`	Human-readable name.
`cron?`	`string`	Cron expression, when the schedule is recurring.

Field	Type	Description
`scheduleId`	`string`	The removed schedule’s ID.

{
  "scheduleId": "sched_01HZX9F4G2N3K7B0Q1WVYE6T8M"
}

`schedule.triggered`

Fired when a schedule fires and starts a thread. The new thread’s ID is in the payload; the envelope’s threadId also points at it.

Field	Type	Description
`scheduleId`	`string`	Schedule that fired.
`threadId`	`string`	Thread the schedule started.

{
  "scheduleId": "sched_01HZX9F4G2N3K7B0Q1WVYE6T8M",
  "threadId": "thread_xyz789"
}

Connection

`connection.attached`

Fired when a connection is attached to an agent. Pair this with connection.detached to keep your own view of which integrations the agent currently has.

Field	Type	Description
`connectionId`	`string`	Connection that was attached.
`provider`	`string`	Provider identifier, e.g. `"google"` or `"slack"`.

{
  "connectionId": "conn_01HZX9F4G2N3K7B0Q1WVYE6T8M",

}

Test

`webhook.test`

Synthetic event fired only by POST /fleets/{fleetId}/webhooks/{id}/test. The payload data is always {}. This event is not subscribable — you cannot include "webhook.test" in a subscription’s events array on create or update — and it does not appear in ALL_WEBHOOK_EVENT_TYPES. Treat it as a probe for verifying the receive path; ignore unknown event types in your handler so a future test event does not fail closed.
