}Create an Agent
Creates one CMA-compatible Workspace Agent and atomically creates immutable Version 1. The request carries model, name, optional system, tools, MCP servers, skills, coordinator roster, description, and metadata; defaults are resolved into the returned Agent. Send an Idempotency-Key to make retries recover the same Agent.
Checkfu support posture: alpha; hosted. Required evidence journey: agent-definition. Deployment-specific readiness and the latest proven release are available from GET /v1/support/capabilities.
