How can I manage my AI agent developer settings?

Updated October 7, 2026

The Developer Settings section contains advanced configuration options for an individual AI agent.

From here, you can manage the agent's API key, open API documentation and logs, and permanently delete the AI agent.

Notification and Lead Extraction settings are managed under Tools.

Agent API key

Each AI agent has its own Agent API key.

The key is unique to that agent and can be used with API features for that agent, including:

  • Conversations
  • Analytics
  • Transcripts
  • Leads
  • Webhooks

Use the copy button next to the key when you need to add it to your application or integration.

Keep API keys private and only share them with systems or people that should have access to the agent.

Regenerate an API key

If you need to replace the current key, click Regenerate.

Regenerating the key invalidates the current key immediately. Any application, integration, or webhook using the old key will need to be updated with the new one.

Before regenerating a key, make sure you know where the current key is being used so you can update those connections.

Docs & logs

Click Docs & logs from the Agent API key section to access resources related to using and troubleshooting the agent API.

Use this area when you need implementation guidance or want to review activity related to your API usage.

Lead Extraction and notifications

Lead Extraction and notification settings are no longer managed from Developer Settings.

To configure Lead Extraction:

  1. Open the AI agent you want to configure.
  2. Go to Tools.
  3. Open Lead Extraction.
  4. Add or manage the fields you want the AI agent to extract.

Lead Extraction lets you define information such as budget, timeline, product interest, or other data relevant to your workflow.

Danger Zone

The Danger Zone contains actions that permanently affect your AI agent.

Delete AI Agent

Use Delete AI Agent when you want to permanently remove an AI agent.

Deleting the agent permanently removes:

  • Development version
  • Production version
  • Webhook configuration
  • Version history

If the agent is currently published, the live agent will also be removed. If it has an active webhook, that webhook will stop working.

This action cannot be undone.

Confirming deletion

When you click Delete AI Agent, AskHandle shows a confirmation window with information about the agent you are about to remove.

Depending on the agent, you may see details such as:

  • Agent name
  • Current status, including whether it is published
  • Whether an active webhook will be affected
  • Number of saved versions

To confirm deletion, type the agent name exactly as shown and then click Delete Agent.

This extra confirmation helps prevent an AI agent from being deleted accidentally.

When to use Developer Settings

Use Developer Settings when you need to:

  • Copy or regenerate an agent API key
  • Access API documentation and logs
  • Review where notification and Lead Extraction settings are located
  • Permanently delete an AI agent

For regular AI agent configuration, use the relevant settings or tools elsewhere in the agent.
