info:
  title: Letta Agent Templates Archival Memory API
  description: The Letta API creates and operates stateful AI agents whose memory - core context blocks and archival vector memory - persists across sessions. It configures the tools, data sources, identities, and multi-agent groups an agent uses, sends and streams messages to agents, and inspects the runs, jobs, and steps behind every agent response. The same OpenAPI-documented interface is served by the managed Letta Cloud API and by the open-source, self-hostable Letta server. All requests require a Bearer API key.
