Omit it and the request is served under `2026-08` — the oldest supported version, so an existing integration is never moved by a release. A malformed or unsupported value is rejected with `400 invalid_api_version` rather than falling back silently. The version actually served is echoed as `X-Mesh-Version` on every response, including errors. requestBody: required: true content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/CreateTemplateRequest' examples: default: summary: Example request value: name: support-reply description: Short customer support replies with a friendly tone. system: You are a concise customer support assistant. messages: - role: user content: 'Reply to: {{ticket}}' model: openai/gpt-4o-mini params: temperature: 0.3 max_tokens: 300 variables: - ticket responses: '201': description: Successful Response content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/components/schemas/TemplateSummary' examples: default: summary: Example response value: id: tmpl_01JZ0R6N9F8K7B6V3Q4A2Y1X0P name: support-reply owner: user_01JZ0Q9WZ7ZK3M9YF6R8D2C4B1 org_id: org_01JZ0QAW6MS7M6WTJ7HE4VK3DF team_id: null is_global: false description: Short customer support replies with a friendly tone. system: You are a concise customer support assistant. messages: - role: user content: 'Reply to: {{ticket}}' model: openai/gpt-4o-mini params: temperature: 0.3 max_tokens: 300 variables: - ticket creator_name: Asha Rao creator_email: asha@example.com created_at: '2026-07-02T10:15:30Z' updated_at: '2026-07-02T10:15:30Z' '401': description: Missing or invalid credentials content: application/json: example: error: code: unauthorized message: Invalid or missing API key. request_id: req_01ARZ3NDEKTSV4RRFFQ69G5FAV '409': description: A template with this name already exists for this owner content: application/json: example: detail: >- A template named 'my-prompt' already exists for owner 'user_abc123'.
