# Run Agent

POST https://api.conductorquantum.com/v0/agents/{agent_id}
Content-Type: application/json

Run an agent by its string ID. The request body depends on the agent.

For `ising-calibration-v1`, send a JSON body with:
- `image_base64` (required): base64-encoded PNG or JPEG image of a calibration plot (must be RGB / 3-channel).
- `prompt` (optional): custom prompt to guide the analysis.
- `max_tokens` (optional): maximum tokens in the response.

The agent returns a structured assessment including what the experiment shows, whether it succeeded, extracted parameters, and recommended next steps. See the [Ising Calibration guide](/control/agents) for details.
