Headers

​
X-User-Timezone
string

IANA timezone name (for example, America/Los_Angeles) stamped into the agent's runtime configuration when the agent is created or updated. The runtime uses this timezone to inject a localized current-date line into the agent's system prompt, so the agent reasons about dates in the user's local time. Optional. Defaults to UTC when omitted; invalid values fall back to UTC.

Example:

"America/Los_Angeles"
