# Create a workspace

**POST** `/v1/workspaces`

⚠️ Experimental endpoint: this API is in active development and may change at any time without notice. ⚠️

Creates a new free-plan workspace owned by the authenticated user. For agent tokens the workspace is created for the agent's sponsor, and the agent's permission policy treats this as an admin action — under the default policy the sponsor approves it first.
