> ## Agent Instructions
> H Platform has four products: the Agents API (managed computer-use agents, base URL https://agp.eu.hcompany.ai/api/v2 or https://agp.hcompany.ai/api/v2 for the US), the Models API (OpenAI-compatible Holo vision-language models at https://api.hcompany.ai/v1), HoloDesktop CLI (Holo on the user's own desktop), and HoloTab (a free no-code Chrome extension that runs Holo in the user's browser, with recordable routines and schedules).
> Authenticate with a bearer API key from the HAI_API_KEY environment variable. SDKs: `pip install hai-agents` (Python, `from hai_agents import Client`) and `npm install hai-agents` (TypeScript, `import { HaiAgentsClient } from "hai-agents"`). CLI: `hai`.
> Agents do work in a browser or on a desktop; describe the task as an imperative instruction. To run a task quickly, prefer the pre-built agent `h/web-surfer-flash`. Read results from the session's `latest_answer` after it reaches a terminal status.
> Sessions are the unit of work; wait for a terminal status (completed, failed, timed_out, interrupted) before reading the answer. Use webhooks or the `changes` long-poll endpoint to follow progress.

# Pause a session

> Halt a running session without losing its state, then resume it later.

Pauses a running session. The agent stops processing but its state is fully preserved. You can [resume](/agents-api/sessions/resume) it later to continue from exactly where it left off.

**Returns** `202 Accepted`. The pause command is delivered asynchronously.
