# Continue Agent Run

> Advance a persisted agent run from its current state. Dispatches on the body shape and the persisted run state.

**Variants:**
- PAUSED + tools provided → apply HITL tool results, resume
- PAUSED + resolved admin approval (empty tools) → apply resolution, resume
- RUNNING / ERROR (no unresolved HITL requirements) → resume from last persisted state
- COMPLETED + new tools → continue with appended messages

**Tools Parameter:**
JSON string containing array of tool execution objects with results. Optional — only required when the persisted run has unresolved HITL requirements.

        422 body. Two runtime shapes share this status code, and the same
        endpoint can

        return either, so ``detail`` is typed as their union:


        - FastAPI's request-validation handler emits a **list** of field-level
        errors (built-in
          coercion errors and custom-validator ``ValueError``s alike).
        - A route that raises ``HTTPException(status_code=422, detail="...")``
        for a semantic
          check (e.g. an invalid cron expression) emits a **string** through the HTTPException
          handler.

        detail:
