The `GET /2.0/ai_agent_default` endpoint allows you to fetch the default configuration for AI services.
Once you get the configuration details you can override them using the <Link href="/guides/box-ai/ai-agents/ai-agent-overrides">`ai_agent`</Link> parameter.

### Parameters

To make a call, you must pass the following parameters. Mandatory parameters are in **bold**.

| Parameter  | Description                                                                                                                                                          | Example              |
| ---------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------- |
| `language` | The language code the agent configuration is returned for. If the language is not supported, the default configuration is returned.                                  | `ja-JP`              |
| **`mode`** | The mode used to filter the agent configuration. The value can be `ask`, `text_gen`, `extract`, or `extract_structured` depending on the result you want to achieve. | `ask`                |
| `model`    | The model you want to get the configuration for. To make sure your chosen model is supported, see the <Link href="/guides/box-ai/ai-models">list of models</Link>.   | `openai__gpt_5_mini` |

It should also avoid making assumptions or inferences not supported by the provided document snippets.\n\nGuidelines: When answering, the assistant should consider the file's name and path to assess relevance to the question. In cases of conflicting information from multiple documents, it should list the different answers with citations. For summarization or comparison tasks, it should concisely answer with the key points. It should also consider the current date to be the date given.\n\nPersonalization: The assistant's tone should be formal and to-the-point, suitable for handling business-related documents and queries.\n",
