Get an Agent Result

An agent instance keeps working after the flow that started it has returned. Get Agent Result reads what that instance finally produced, addressed by its instance ID. It belongs wherever the outcome is collected: a status endpoint the caller polls, or a later step in the flow that has nothing to do until the agent is done.

Add the step to a flow

The steps below follow one example: a GET claim/[string instanceId]/status resource that reports what the claimAgent instance in its path has concluded.

1. On the flow diagram, select + where the result should be read.

2. In the node panel, under Workflow, select Get Agent Result. The Get Agent Result form opens.

3. Fill in the form:

   Field	Required	Description
   Durable Agentic Workflow	Yes	The durable agent to read the result from, claimAgent here.
   Instance Id	Yes	The instance whose result you want, the value Run Durable Agent bound. Here it is the resource's instanceId path parameter, so switch the field to Expression and enter instanceId.
   Wait For Result	No	Selected by default, which waits until the instance finishes. See Wait or check back.
   Result	Yes	The variable that receives the agent's result. Defaults to agentResult.
   Result Type	Yes	The expected type of the result, string here.

4. Select Save.

The saved step is drawn as Get Agent Result, with a dashed connector from the claimAgent it reads from. Instance Id takes either text or an expression, so the ID can come from a path parameter as it does here, from a variable, or from a configurable. Follow it with a Return step on agentResult, and the status endpoint is complete: it reads what the instance concluded and hands that straight back to the caller.

Wait or check back

Wait For Result decides what happens while the instance is still working.

• Selected, the default, waits until the instance finishes.
• Cleared reads without waiting. While the instance is still working, the step returns a workflow:AgentBusyError, which the flow can handle and report as "still running". A status endpoint usually wants this, because the caller gets an answer immediately either way.

A gated activity or a human task counts as still working: the instance is suspended, waiting on a person. A run that looks stalled often needs a decision in the Integration Control Plane.

Final result or one turn's answer?

Both reads are addressed by the instance ID, but they answer different questions.

• Get Agent Result returns what the run concluded, once. Use it for the outcome.
• Get Data Event Result returns the answer to one delivered turn, selected by that turn's correlation token. Use it for a conversation, or for sending more information to the agent during a run.

What's next

• Get a Data Event Result: Read one turn's answer instead of the final outcome.
• Run a Durable Agent: Start the instance and bind the ID this step needs.
• Workflow executions: See why an instance is still working.
