Overview

Validate a system prompt written using Jinja2 template syntax. The endpoint checks whether all template variables and control flow blocks are syntactically correct, extracts all variable names used in the template, and returns a performance analysis with optimization recommendations. Use this endpoint before saving a new system prompt to an agent via Update Agent.

Required Permission

agents

Request Body

Field	Type	Required	Description
`systemPrompt`	string	Yes*	The Jinja2 prompt template string to validate. Omitting this field or sending `{}` does not* produce an error — see Empty Body or Missing `systemPrompt` below.

Jinja2 Template Syntax

The Platform API uses Jinja2 template syntax for dynamic system prompts. Variables are wrapped in double curly braces:

You are a helpful assistant. Customer name is {{ customer_name }}.

You can also use control blocks:

{% for item in order_items %}
- {{ item.name }}
{% endfor %}

At call time, variable values are injected via Pre-Call Variables configured on the agent.

Example cURL

curl -X POST "https://api.inya.ai/platform/v1/agents/prompt/validate" \
  -H "x-api-key: <your_api_key>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "systemPrompt": "You are a support agent for {{ company_name }}. The customer is {{ customer_name }}. Today is {{ date }}."
  }'

Response

Valid Prompt (200)

{
  "status": "success",
  "requestId": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
  "message": "Jinja template syntax is valid",
  "response": {
    "isValidTemplate": true,
    "variables": ["company_name", "customer_name", "date"],
    "analysis": {
      "scores": {
        "overall": 85,
        "kvCache": 90,
        "rating": "Good"
      },
      "issues": [],
      "recommendations": []
    }
  }
}

Invalid Prompt (200 with validation error)

{
  "status": "success",
  "requestId": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
  "message": "Your prompt is not a valid jinja template. Please check the prompt and try again.",
  "response": {
    "isValidTemplate": false,
    "errors": [
      "Unexpected end of template. Jinja was looking for the following tags: 'endfor' or 'else'. The innermost block that needs to be closed is 'for'."
    ],
    "variables": []
  }
}

Empty Body or Missing `systemPrompt` (200)

If the request body is empty ({}) or the systemPrompt field is absent (e.g. the wrong field name prompt is used), the API returns HTTP 200 with isValidTemplate: true and empty variables. No error is raised. Ensure you always send the field named exactly systemPrompt.

{
  "status": "success",
  "requestId": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
  "message": "Jinja template syntax is valid",
  "response": {
    "isValidTemplate": true,
    "errors": [],
    "variables": [],
    "analysis": {
      "scores": { "overall": 0, "kvCache": 0, "rating": "Unknown" },
      "issues": [],
      "recommendations": []
    }
  }
}

Sending an empty body or using the wrong field name (e.g. prompt instead of systemPrompt) does not return an error — the API treats the missing prompt as an empty string and returns isValidTemplate: true with no variables extracted. Always verify that variables in the response matches your expected template variables to confirm the prompt was received correctly.

Response Fields

Field	Type	Description
`isValidTemplate`	boolean	Whether the prompt is syntactically valid Jinja2.
`variables`	string[]	All template variable names extracted from the prompt (e.g. `"customer_name"`).
`errors`	string[]	Array of syntax error messages (empty when valid).
`analysis`	object	Optimization analysis. Only present when `isValidTemplate` is `true`.
`analysis.scores.overall`	number	Overall optimization score from 0–100.
`analysis.scores.kvCache`	number	KV cache efficiency score from 0–100. Higher scores indicate better LLM cache utilization.
`analysis.scores.rating`	string	Human-readable rating: `Poor`, `Fair`, `Good`, or `Excellent`.
`analysis.issues`	array	Identified optimization issues.
`analysis.recommendations`	array	Suggested improvements to the prompt.

Use Cases

Validating prompts before saving them to an agent
Extracting template variable names to configure Pre-Call Variable mappings
Identifying syntax errors early in the development workflow
Optimizing prompts for better KV cache performance

A higher kvCache score means the LLM can reuse more of its computation across calls, leading to faster response times and lower costs. Move any content that changes per-call (like customer name) towards the end of the prompt to maximize caching.

Run this endpoint as part of your CI/CD pipeline to catch prompt template errors before deployment.

Save the requestId from every response. You will need it if you contact Inya support to trace a specific request.
