  ]
}
```

<Callout type="info">
  In addition to `user`, `assistant`, and `system` messages, this endpoint may also return `progress` messages whose `content` is a JSON envelope describing the agent's intermediate state (text deltas, tool calls, etc.). Most integrators can safely ignore these. See [Message reference](/api/conversations/message-reference).
</Callout>

## Response with a system error message [#response-with-a-system-error-message]

When an agent encounters an error, a `system` message is appended:

```json
{
  "messages": [
    {
      "id": "cmsg_01KRK1V475HBTME8QJQMAPWK16",
      "job_id": "job_01KRK1V46BXS73CSNK2VR35NPJ",

      "role": "user",
      "status": "failed",
      "created_at": "2026-04-12T18:45:12.000Z",
      "updated_at": "2026-04-12T18:45:30.000Z"
    },
