Creation and draft saving are separate from publication. Later publication checks model availability and compatibility. Managed text-only configurations can pass those checks; voice and custom-model publication are currently unavailable. See current availability.
Choose and review a model
1
Check the catalog
Read Models and List available LLMs. Choose an available managed model and keep its exact identifier. A provider’s model name is not necessarily its Threetone catalog identifier.
2
Set the primary model
In the agent editor, open LLM to review the model and its settings. The saved primary model is
conversation_config.agent.prompt.llm.For API authoring, read the intended branch first and preserve the rest of its configuration. Use an explicit branch_id when updating conversation settings.3
Review supported settings
Set only options supported by the chosen model. Use the table below to locate them, and review LLM cascading before selecting backups.
4
Save and read back
Save a complete server draft. If you publish an eligible managed text-only configuration, review the diff and record the new version ID. Read the saved document with Get agent and check the primary model and backup policy together.
Generation settings
These fields belong toconversation_config.agent.prompt.
A successful save is evidence of configuration storage. It does not measure response quality, latency, or successful failover. Prepare a small set of representative prompts before comparing models when execution is available.
Frequently asked questions
Why does publication reject a model that creation accepted?
Why does publication reject a model that creation accepted?
Creation stores the initial authoring configuration. Later publication also checks available models and compiles an execution configuration. Check the primary model, backups, and whether the agent is text-only.
Can I connect my own model endpoint?
Can I connect my own model endpoint?
You can prepare a custom model configuration, but custom-model publication is unavailable. An endpoint probe does not remove that restriction.
