The owning org is the validated tenant, never a client field. ## Request 4 fields, body `application/json` (required). | Field | In | Type | Required | Description | | ------------ | ---- | ------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | `id` | path | string | yes | ID is the machine to bind, from the URL path. | | `agentName` | body | string | — | AgentName is the cloud Agent (/v1/agent) the machine will run. | | `botVersion` | body | string | — | BotVersion pins the @hanzo/bot runtime version; empty takes the default. | | `id` | body | string | — | ID is the machine to bind, from the URL path. | ## Response | Status | Body | Meaning | | --------- | -------------------- | ------- | | `200` | compute.agentBinding | ok | | `default` | problem-details | refused | `200` body — 12 fields. | Field | In | Type | Always | Description | | ------------- | ---- | ------ | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `agentName` | body | string | — | AgentName is the cloud Agent (/v1/agent) this machine runs — the agent a message to the bot is actually run against. | | `botVersion` | body | string | — | BotVersion pins the @hanzo/bot runtime version the machine runs. | | `createdTime` | body | string | — | CreatedTime is when the binding was first made. | | `machineId` | body | string | — | MachineId is the bound machine as vm addresses it, owner-qualified ("\/\"). | | `message` | body | string | — | Message is vm's human-readable detail on Status ("machine provisioning; @hanzo/bot runtime not yet confirmed") — the reason behind the state, not a second state. | | `name` | body | string | — | Name is the binding's own key, which is the machine's id: a machine hosts at most one agent, so the binding is named for it. | | `org` | body | string | — | Org is the Hanzo tenant the binding belongs to. | | `owner` | body | string | — | Owner is the tenant vm filed the binding under, resolved from the ?owner it was called with — which is the caller's validated org and never a body field. | | `provider` | body | string | — | Provider is the cloud the bound machine runs on, carried here so a bindings list says where each bot lives without a second read per machine. | | `publicIp` | body | string | — | PublicIp is the bound machine's public address as vm recorded it on the binding. | | `status` | body | string | — | Status is the binding's lifecycle in VM's OWN words — "Pending" while the machine provisions and the runtime is unconfirmed, "running" once vm has confirmed it. | | `updatedTime` | body | string | — | UpdatedTime is when vm last reconciled it — the age of Status. | Failure carries the platform error shape — see [Errors](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/errors). ## Examples **CLI** ```bash hanzo compute machines agent replace ``` **SDK** **.ts** ```ts import { Configuration, ComputeApi } from 'hanzoai';
