# Agent API The built-in Agent API provides a way for you to build powerful web interfaces for your Agents. Through this API you can create conversations, query your agents, search message history and customize your agents. [Read the API Documentation for more details.](/api/agent-api.md) ### Disabling the Agent API The API (and any web based components) will automatically disable when you enable CLI mode for your agents. In the event you aren't enabling CLI mode but still want to disable the API, you can add the following your `application.properties` ``` spring.main.web-application-type=none ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
