  title: Biomni Public API — V0
  description: >-
    The public API for **Biomni** — the AI agent platform for clinical genomics
    (variant annotation, ClinVar lookups, PMID-cited literature, and project
    file drives). Create projects and Tasks, send messages to the agent, stream
    its replies, manage files, and check your usage — all from your own code.


    **Authentication**: send `Authorization: Bearer <your-api-key>`. The adapter
    forwards your key straight to Biomni; it never stores it.


    **Safe retries**: send `Idempotency-Key: <token>` on POST endpoints
    (`/projects`, `/tasks`, `/messages`, `/files/uploads`) so a retried request
    won't create a duplicate.
