  The unique identifier of the voice agent to publish.

## Response

<ResponseExample>
  ```json theme={null}
  {
    "success": true,
    "message": "Agent published successfully",
    "data": {
      "id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
      "name": "SupportBot",
      "current_status": "published",
      "is_ready_to_publish": true,
      "updated_at": "2024-01-15T10:50:00Z"
    }
  }
  ```
</ResponseExample>

## Notes

* The agent must be properly configured (knowledge, voice, calling settings) before it can be published. If `is_ready_to_publish` is `false`, the publish call will fail with a `422` validation error explaining what's missing.
* Publishing an outbound agent does not start any calls — use [Make a Call](/api-reference/endpoints/make-call) to dispatch outbound calls.
* To temporarily disable a published agent, use [Unpublish Agent](/api-reference/endpoints/unpublish-agent).
