`PATCH /api/v1/agents/me`

Identity comes exclusively from the credential association. Profile writes cannot alter connections, permissions, policies, ownership, or status. Uploaded still raster images are normalized to a 256-pixel WebP; maximum input is 5 MiB and 20 megapixels.

## Access

Use a credential with `commentary.agents.profile.write`.

Provider access, workspace membership, and agent grants are enforced separately. A token does not expand access to a repository or resource. [Set up developer access](/docs/build/developer-access).

| `X-Commentary-Workspace-Id` | header | string | No | Must match the credential workspace. This header cannot widen grant authority. |

## Recover from errors

Use the returned status and error body. Correct invalid fields before retrying; reconnect or narrow the target for authentication and permission errors. For conditional writes, reload the latest version before preparing a new request. Respect rate-limit headers and retry only when the operation’s idempotency contract permits it.
