Path Parameters

workspace_name

string

Request Body Parameters

All request body parameters are nested under the workspace object.

workspace.action

required

The action to perform on the workspace. Supported values: "stop", "resume", "patch", "add_to_ingress". See the Supported Actions section below for details on each action and which parameters they support.

workspace.container_config

string

Optional. YAML configuration string for the container. Used with the patch action.
Allows you to update container-level settings such as environment variables, resource limits, and other container configurations. For example, updating environment variables:

env:
  - name: ENV
    value: test
  - name: API_KEY
    value: secret-key

workspace.lifecycle_config

object

Optional. Dictionary/object containing lifecycle configuration. Used with the patch action. Defines lifecycle management policies including termination policies, pre-start scripts, and post-start hooks. Structure:

{
  "termination_policy": {
    "enable_auto_termination": true,
    "max_idle_seconds": 1800
  },
  "pre_start_script_path": "/path/to/script.sh",
  "post_start": {
    "command": ["echo", "Workspace started"],
    "hook_path": "/path/to/hook.sh"
  }
}
<ParamField body="workspace.action" type="string" required>
The action to perform. Use `"patch"` to apply partial updates to the workspace configuration.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="workspace.container_config" type="string">
Optional. Configuration string for the container.  
For example, updating the workspace image tag and environment variables:

image_tag: 2026.06.16 env:

name: ENV value: test

</ParamField>

<ParamField body="workspace.update_workspace_settings" type="boolean">
Optional. Whether to update workspace settings with the current cluster's environment variables. Used with the `patch` action.
Set to `true` to sync the workspace configuration with the cluster-level environment variables.
When enabled, the workspace will inherit environment variables from the cluster configuration.
</ParamField>

{
  "workspace": {
    "action": "patch",
    "container_config": "env:\n  - name: ENV\n    value: test",
    "lifecycle_config": {
