Dispatches on the body shape and the persisted run state (see ADR-003 in specs/agno/features/checkpointing/decisions.md). **Variants:** - PAUSED + tools provided → apply HITL tool results, resume - PAUSED + resolved admin approval (empty tools) → apply resolution, resume - RUNNING / ERROR (no unresolved HITL requirements) → resume from last persisted state - COMPLETED + new tools → continue with appended messages **Tools Parameter:** JSON string containing array of tool execution objects with results. Optional — only required when the persisted run has unresolved HITL requirements. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /reference-api/openapi.yaml post /agents/{agent_id}/runs/{run_id}/continue openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Agno API Reference description: The all-in-one, private, secure agent platform that runs in your cloud. version: 2.7.2 servers: [] security: [] paths: /agents/{agent_id}/runs/{run_id}/continue: post: tags: - Agents summary: Continue Agent Run description: >- Advance a persisted agent run from its current state.
