Agent Pools and Agents API

An Agent Pool represents a group of Agents, often related to one another by sharing a common network segment or purpose. A workspace may be configured to use one of the organization's agent pools to run remote operations with isolated, private, or on-premises infrastructure.

Note: Terraform Cloud Agents are a paid feature, available as part of the Terraform Cloud for Business upgrade package. Learn more about Terraform Cloud pricing here.

List Agent Pools

GET /organizations/:organization_name/agent-pools

ParameterDescription
:organization_nameThe name of the organization.

This endpoint allows you to list agent pools, their agents, and their tokens for an organization.

StatusResponseReason
200JSON API document (type: "agent-pools")Success

Query Parameters

This endpoint supports pagination with standard URL query parameters. Remember to percent-encode [ as %5B and ] as %5D if your tooling doesn't automatically encode URLs.

ParameterDescription
qOptional. A search query string. Agent pools are searchable by name.
sortOptional. Allows sorting the returned agents pools. Valid values are "name" and "created-at". Prepending a hyphen to the sort parameter will reverse the order (e.g. "-name").
page[number]Optional. If omitted, the endpoint will return the first page.
page[size]Optional. If omitted, the endpoint will return 20 agent pools per page.
filter[allowed_workspaces][name]Optional. Filters agent pools to those associated with the given workspace. The workspace must have permission to use the agent pool. Refer to Scoping Agent Pools to Specific Workspaces.
