Returned by GET /projects/ and GET /projects/{project_id}/; also accepted as the request body for PATCH /projects/{project_id}/, where only the fields you supply are updated. Server-managed fields such as id, created_at, last_visited_at, document_count, and agent_count are read-only.

Name Required Type Description
id Yes string (uuid) Stable identifier for the project (UUID).
name Yes string Human-readable name shown in the UI and in lists.
description No string Short description of what the project covers.
last_visited_at Yes string (date-time) (nullable) Timestamp of the most recent visit to this project.

auto_archive_after_days No integer (nullable) Opt-in auto-archival for document-oriented projects: documents uploaded more than this many days ago are automatically moved into an archived project by a daily sweep. Null disables auto-archival.

agent_count Yes integer Number of non-draft agents configured on the project.
is_pinned No boolean Whether the project is pinned to the top of the project list.
