knowledge

name	knowledge
description	Access agents, skills, and code snippets available in sgai workspaces. Use when you need to discover what agents are defined in a workspace, browse available skills, get skill instructions, find code snippets by language, or retrieve snippet content for a specific task.
compatibility	Requires a running sgai server. Knowledge is workspace-scoped (agents/skills/snippets from the workspace .sgai/ directory).

Knowledge

sgai workspaces contain agent definitions, skills, and code snippets in their .sgai/ directory. Use these endpoints to discover and retrieve that knowledge.

List Available Agents

Endpoint: GET /api/v1/agents?workspace={name}

curl -s "$BASE_URL/api/v1/agents?workspace=my-project"

Response:

{
  "agents": [
    {

Workspace Query Parameter

All knowledge endpoints accept an optional ?workspace=name query parameter:

• If omitted, uses the first workspace found
• If provided, scopes results to that workspace's .sgai/ directory

# Explicit workspace
curl -s "$BASE_URL/api/v1/agents?workspace=my-project"

# First workspace (implicit)
curl -s "$BASE_URL/api/v1/agents"
