Run a pathway

Start a run in one of two ways:

POST /v1/pathways/:id/execute — pathway ID in path, optional body { "input": { ... } }. Returns 202 with { "job_id", "status": "pending" }.
POST /v1/jobs — body { "pathway_id": "<uuid>", "input": { ... } } (or signal). Returns 200 with { "job_id", "status": "pending" }.

Then poll GET /v1/jobs/:jobId/status or consume GET /v1/jobs/:jobId/stream (SSE). For cancel, resume, or submitting input to a waiting run: POST /v1/jobs/:jobId/cancel, POST /v1/jobs/:jobId/resume, POST /v1/jobs/:jobId/input — see Jobs API.

Execute by pathway ID

POST /v1/pathways/:id/execute

Parameter	Type	Description
`id`	path	Pathway UUID

Body (optional): { "input": { ... } }. Response (202): { "job_id", "status": "pending" }.

curl -X POST https://api.auvy.ai/v1/pathways/PATHWAY_ID/execute \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-Brain-Id: YOUR_BRAIN_ID" \
  -d '{"input": {"query": "Hello"}}'

Execute via Jobs API (pathway_id in body)

const { job_id } = await auvy.jobs.execute({ pathway_id: 'pathway-uuid', input: { query: 'Hello' } })
const status = await auvy.jobs.getStatus(job_id)

Alternatively, invoke by receptor: POST /v1/receptors/:workspace_slug/:slug/invoke when the receptor target is a pathway; response includes job_id.

Pathway Graph Structure

Pathways use graph structures to define workflows. Two formats are supported:

ID-based Format (persistence, UI)

Nodes and edges use string IDs. Use for stored pathways and the visual editor:

{
  "nodes": [
    {
      "id": "node-1",
      "type": "neuron",
      "data": { "neuron_id": "neuron-uuid" }
    }
  ],
  "edges": [
    { "id": "e1", "source": "node-1", "target": "node-2" }
  ]
}

DSL Format (LLM, inline)

Index-based, no IDs. Node index = array position. Use -1 as edge target for terminal. Branching handles: "true"/"false" (if), "body"/"done" (while), or category name (classify).

{
  "nodes": [
    { "type": "neuron", "data": { "neuron_id": "uuid-here" } },
    { "type": "classify", "data": { "categories": ["urgent", "normal"] } }
  ],
  "edges": [
    [0, 1],
    [1, -1, "urgent"],
    [1, -1, "normal"]
  ]
}

Design Graph (`pathway_data`)

Defines the visual design structure for the UI:

{
  "nodes": [
    {
      "id": "node-1",
      "position": { "x": 100, "y": 100 },
      "data": {}
    }
  ],
  "edges": []
}

Troubleshooting: Pathway not found

When a pathway run or load fails with “Pathway not found”, check the following:

Check	Description
workspace_id	The pathway must belong to the workspace implied by your auth (API key or session). Every pathway row is scoped by `workspace_id`.
Brain scope	Pathway list and create require a brain. For invoke, include the `X-Brain-Id` header. Pathway access uses core access filter (workspace + brain).
is_active	When loading a pathway for execution by `pathway_id`, the loader uses `is_active: true` by default. If the pathway was set inactive, runs will not find it unless a specific version is requested.
pathway_version	If you pin a version via `receptorConfig.pathway_version`, the pathway row must have that version. Otherwise the loader fetches the active pathway.

Where this applies: loadPathwayGraph (agent-end) loads by pathway_id and workspace_id; list/get in the API use applyCoreAccessFilter with workspace and brain. Verify the pathway exists in the database for the given workspace and brain, and that is_active matches how you are invoking.
