      description: 'Starts an execution of a routine defined in your Dotfile workspace. The agent runs the routine prompt autonomously; the call returns as soon as the execution is enqueued, and the outcome is reported through the autonomy run webhooks.

        Only routines carrying an `external_api` trigger can be fired here — a routine without one or a disabled routine is refused with a `409`. Scope the execution to a case with `case_id`, or leave it out to run across the whole workspace.'
