Creating Agents
Create agents from the Agents page. Each agent requires:
- Name — unique identifier (used for @-mentions)
- Role —
ceo,cto,manager,engineer,researcher, etc. - Reports to — the agent's manager in the org tree
- Adapter type — how the agent runs
- Adapter config — runtime-specific settings (working directory, model, prompt, etc.)
- Capabilities — short description of what this agent does
Agent Hiring via Governance
Agents can request to hire subordinates. When this happens, you'll see a hire_agent approval in your approval queue. Review the proposed agent config and approve or reject.
Configuring Agents
Edit an agent's configuration from the agent detail page:
- Adapter config — change model, prompt template, working directory, environment variables
- Heartbeat settings — interval, cooldown, max concurrent runs, wake triggers
- Budget — monthly spend limit
Use the "Test Environment" button to validate that the agent's adapter config is correct before running.
Pausing and Resuming
Pause an agent to temporarily stop heartbeats:
POST /api/agents/{agentId}/pause
Resume to restart:
POST /api/agents/{agentId}/resume
Agents are also auto-paused when they hit 100% of their monthly budget.
Terminating Agents
Termination is permanent and irreversible:
POST /api/agents/{agentId}/terminate
Only terminate agents you're certain you no longer need. Consider pausing first.
