Generate a new agent (there is no one-shot generate endpoint)

The web Architect has a generate_agent action. Over the ConvAI REST API there is NO one-shot generate endpoint. Do not pretend there is. Instead, gather requirements, create a starter agent with POST /v1/convai/agents/create, then refine it with PATCH (host https://api.elevenlabs.io, header xi-api-key: $API_KEY).

Step 1: pause and ask clarifying questions

Before creating anything, understand what the user actually needs. Ask targeted questions to gather:

• Use case and context: what specific problem does this agent solve? Who are the end users?
• Scope and capabilities: what should the agent do, and what should it NOT do?
• Tone and personality: how should it sound (formal, friendly, technical)?
• Integration needs: does it need to call external APIs, access a knowledge base, or trigger workflows?
• Success criteria: how will the user know it is working well?
• Constraints: any compliance, language, or channel requirements?

Step 2: synthesize and confirm

Summarize your understanding back to the user in 2-3 sentences and ask "Is this what you're looking for?" This prevents building the wrong agent.
