Generate prompt suggestions

Starts the AI prompt-suggestion agent for one topic and, optionally, a set of its subtopics — the same flow as the “Suggest prompts” dialog in the app. Always proposes 8 suggestions per topic; that count is not configurable here, matching the dialog exactly.

This call returns immediately with a request_id. Generation runs in the background: poll Get prompt-suggestion run until status is completed or failed, then read the results with List prompt suggestions?request_id=....

Requires the write:prompts scope, and the workspace must be enabled for API writes.

Response fields

Field	Type	Description
`data.request_id`	`uuid`	required. NOT the same as the envelope’s own `request_id`. Use this one with Get prompt-suggestion run and with List prompt suggestions’ `request_id` filter
`data.topic_ids`	`uuid[]`	required. The topics actually generated for — `subtopic_ids` if any were given, else `[parent_topic_id]`
`data.status`	`string`	required. Always `queued` at this point
`request_id`	`string`	required. Also returned as the `x-request-id` header. Quote it when contacting support

Errors

Status	Code	When
400	`invalid_request`	Unknown field, missing `parent_topic_id` or `language`, or a `subtopic_ids` entry that is not a direct child of `parent_topic_id`
401	`invalid_token`	The key is missing, malformed, or does not exist
403	`insufficient_scope`	The key does not carry `write:prompts`
403	`plan_required`	This workspace is not enabled for API writes
404	`not_found`	`parent_topic_id` does not exist for this brand, or this key is not allowed to reach it
429	`rate_limited`	Over 60 requests per minute

Notes

There is no target_count. The app never exposes it either — every generation proposes 8 suggestions per topic. This endpoint mirrors the dialog, not the broader shape the background job technically accepts.

One parent topic per call, matching the dialog. Pick a different topic and call again if you need suggestions across several parts of the tree; there is no multi-parent-topic batching.

subtopic_ids replaces the parent, it does not add to it. Passing any subtopics generates for exactly those subtopics — not for the parent as well. Omit subtopic_ids (or send []) to target the parent topic on its own.
