# Create an agent email alias

> Reserve a short, globally unique alias for an agent in an existing Project. Requires effective Tenant Admin credentials and a live Project in that workspace. projectId accepts only the Project UUID, and agentName must be the exact registered preset name. Tenant ownership comes from the authenticated workspace. Each request creates one alias; create multiple aliases with separate requests. Sends no email and starts no agent. Retrying an occupied alias returns 409; inspect it with GET after an uncertain response.
