Stream Session Thread Events

Path parameters
session_id: string
thread_id: string
Query parameters
event_deltas: optional array of BetaManagedAgentsDeltaType

When set, this connection also receives streaming deltas (event_start, event_delta) while an event is being produced, before the event itself arrives. Deltas are best-effort; when the final event is produced it carries the complete content. A model request that ends early (an error or interrupt) produces no final event — its terminal span.model_request_end closes the preview. Accepts one or more event types to preview and may be repeated: agent.message streams content_delta fragments; agent.thinking is start-only — a signal that the agent has begun extended thinking, concluded by the agent.thinking event itself. Only previews of the requested event types are sent.

One of the following:
"agent.message"
"agent.thinking"
