docs(agents): explain JSON escaping in webhook body templates by virgoone · Pull Request #244 · fishaudio/docs

virgoone · 2026-10-13T04:51:14Z

Webhook body templates JSON-escape values in JSON string literals.

Changes:

webhook-tools.mdx: new section "Values in a JSON body". It covers placeholders inside and outside strings, an example, and when a body counts as JSON.
dynamic-variables.mdx: the old line said values go into the body template as is. That is no longer true for JSON strings. It now links to the new section.

- Custom variables inserted inside JSON string values in webhook bodies are now escaped correctly. URL encoding, header handling, and number and boolean rendering remain unchanged.
Documentation
- Clarified how placeholders are substituted in JSON request bodies, including content-type handling and behavior for values outside JSON strings.

📝 Walkthrough

The webhook documentation now describes how placeholder values are inserted into JSON bodies. It distinguishes values inside JSON strings from values outside strings and documents content-type handling and header precedence.

Changes: Webhook JSON placeholder documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Document JSON placeholder substitution `agents/build/dynamic-variables.mdx`, `agents/build/webhook-tools.mdx`	The documentation states that values inside JSON strings are escaped. It describes content-type detection, `Content-Type` header precedence, and that placeholders outside strings are not validated as JSON. URL values remain URL-encoded, and header values remain inserted as-is.

The docs give conflicting guidance about unquoted placeholders, which could lead to malformed webhook payloads. Correct the guarantee before relying on these instructions.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Narrow the JSON-validity guarantee.

Line 56 says the platform keeps a JSON body valid. Line 59 says values outside strings are inserted as-is, and Line 75 says those values are not checked. A non-JSON value can therefore produce an invalid body. Limit the guarantee to values inside JSON strings.
