Create an agent

Creates a new agent in the current project. The identifier must be lowercase alphanumeric with hyphens, starting with a letter or number (max 50 chars).

The response does not include the agent’s access token — read it from GET /agents or regenerate it with POST /agents/{agentId}/regenerate-token.

POST /agents
