# Continue Agent Run

`POST /agents/{agent_id}/runs/{run_id}/continue`

Advance a persisted agent run from its current state. Dispatches on the body shape and the persisted run state (see ADR-003 in specs/agno/features/checkpointing/decisions.md).

**Variants:**
- PAUSED + tools provided → apply HITL tool results, resume
- PAUSED + resolved admin approval (empty tools) → apply resolution, resume
- RUNNING / ERROR (no unresolved HITL requirements) → resume from last persisted state
- COMPLETED + new tools → continue with appended messages

**Tools Parameter:**
JSON string containing array of tool execution objects with results. Optional — only required when the persisted run has unresolved HITL requirements.

## Path parameters
