A durable external wait owned by a Session, optionally by its exact Goal. Readiness conserves observed evidence and does not authorize inference.

**Service** Sylphx Agents · **Resource type** `agents.sylphx.com/AgentSessionWait` · **Name pattern** `orgs/{org}/projects/{project}/envs/{env}/agent_sessions/{agent_session}/waits/{wait}` · **Shape** `record`

## Fields

| Field | Type | What it is |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | `string` | Exact name; the final segment is the conserved wait UUID. |
| `uid` | `string` | Immutable platform Resource UID. Output only. |
| `meta` | `ResourceMeta` | Standard metadata. Output only. |
| `goal` | `string` | Optional exact Goal in this Session, never a current-Goal selector. |
| `type` | `string` | time or signal. Other producer types require their own admitted adapter. Required. |
| `reference` | `string` | Exact source reference for a signal; empty for a timer. |
| `deadline` | `timestamp` | Actual future due time; required only for a timer. |
| `resume_prompt` | `string` | What to do after observing this wait's evidence, at most 16 KiB. Required. |
| `state` | `string` | active, ready, resolved or cancelled. Ready still requires turn admission. Output only. |
| `evidence` | `struct` | Original bounded observed evidence, retained through delivery and restart. Output only. |
| `resumed_turn` | `int64` | The only turn that consumed this wait; unset until resolved. Output only. |
| `create_time` | `timestamp` | Creation time. Output only. |
| `update_time` | `timestamp` | Last state change time. Output only. |

## Methods

Every method of the collection, in the registry's order, with the scope it
needs. The full request, response and examples are one link away.

| `GET` | [`get`](/docs/api/waits#get) | Reads an exact wait and its retained evidence. |
| `GET` | [`list`](/docs/api/waits#list) | Lists durable waits, including ready undelivered owners. |
| `POST` | [`resolve`](/docs/api/waits#resolve) | Records observed signal evidence or checks a timer against its actual due time. |
| `POST` | [`cancel`](/docs/api/waits#cancel) | Cancels only this exact undelivered wait; repeated operations retain receipts. |
