Agent modes
Every agent runs in one of three modes:Autonomous mode requires a Pro or higher plan. See Billing.
The tabs
Agents
Define agents with no code:- Persona — written in Markdown: who the agent is, what it’s for, how it should behave.
- Allowed tools — exactly which tools this agent may call.
- Model — which AI model powers it.
- Permission mode —
ask(request approval for side effects),auto(act within its allowed tools), orread-only(never change anything).
Runs
Every execution appears here with live status: queued → running → awaiting approval → completed / failed. Open a run to see the full transcript and tool activity. Runs have shareable links, so you can send a colleague exactly what an agent did.Approvals
Side-effecting actions — Salesforce writes, deployments, outbound calls — don’t execute immediately. They park as pending approvals. You review the exact input, then approve or deny.Triggers
Start runs three ways:Skills
Reusable know-how that agents load — procedures, conventions, domain knowledge. Write a skill once, attach it to many agents.Marketplace
Publish agents and skills for other organizations, or install ones shared by others — a way to distribute proven automations across orgs.Connectors
Give agents reach beyond LivingContext by registering outbound endpoints:- MCP servers — connect external MCP tools
- HTTP — plain HTTP endpoints
- OpenAPI — endpoints described by an OpenAPI spec
Secrets
Store encrypted values (API keys, tokens) that connectors and tools need. Secrets are injected server-side at call time and never shown to the model — an agent can use a credential without ever seeing it.Channels
Reach the agent where your team already works: connect Slack so agents can respond in your channels (see Slack integration), post a card to Microsoft Teams when a background run finishes via an incoming webhook, and mint public API keys for driving runs from your own tools.Memory
Long-term memory agents accumulate across runs — decisions, facts, workflows, and blockers. You can inspect and curate what an agent remembers.Audit
An immutable log of every side-effecting action any agent has taken: what ran, who approved it, what it touched. This is your compliance trail.Billing
Usage and credits for agent runs. See Billing.Programmatic access
Create public API bearer keys to start runs from your own systems — CI pipelines, internal tools, or scheduled jobs outside LivingContext. Combined with webhook triggers and shareable run links, you can wire agents into existing workflows end to end.Governance in one picture
- An agent’s allowed tools and permission mode bound what it can attempt.
- Approvals gate every side effect in
askmode. - Secrets keep credentials out of model context entirely.
- Audit records everything that actually happened.
