"description": "Agent for handling appointment reminders and confirmations", // nullable
"knowledge_base": null // Set to null after deletion
}
Notes
- This operation clears the
knowledge_basefield and removes vectors from Pinecone - The agent itself remains available and can still be used
- You can restore the knowledge base using the PATCH endpoint
- You can only delete knowledge bases from agents in your organization
Error Responses
404 Not Found: "Agent not found" - Agent doesn't exist or you don't have access500 Internal Server Error: "Failed to delete knowledge base" - Server error

Agent Configuration
Knowledge Base Format
The knowledge_base field contains the agent's system prompt and instructions. It should be structured to guide the agent's behavior during calls:
You are a helpful medical assistant for [Practice Name].
Your responsibilities:
1. Confirm patient appointments
2. Answer basic questions about visit preparation
3. Collect necessary pre-visit information
Guidelines:
- Be professional and empathetic
- Keep conversations concise
- Escalate complex medical questions to staff
Using Agents in Calls
When creating calls, specify the agentId to determine which agent configuration to use:
{
"patients": [{"patientId": "22222222-2222-2222-2222-222222222222"}],
"agentId": "22222222-2222-2222-2222-222222222222", // Specifies which agent to use
"recording": true
}
Best Practices
- Keep knowledge bases concise but comprehensive (max 20,000 characters)
- Version your knowledge bases externally for rollback capabilities
- Update knowledge bases based on real call outcomes and any outdated information
- Keep knowledge base sectioned and organized Make sure your knowledge base is well organized and sectioned off based on topic. This will improve the agent's ability to find relevant information quickly
Important Notes
- API responses return timestamps in ISO 8601 format with UTC timezone (e.g.,
2024-01-15T10:00:00.000Z) - API requests accept ISO 8601 timestamps with any timezone offset (e.g.,
2024-01-15T10:00:00.000Z,2024-01-15T10:00:00.000+00:00,2024-01-15T10:00:00.000-05:00) - The DELETE endpoint only clears the knowledge_base field, it does not delete the agent itself
- Knowledge base updates are immediately reflected
