Feature guides¶
The reference pages say what every field and tab does. These guides say how
the pieces fit together for one job at a time: what to turn on, in which
order, and what to expect once it runs. Each one points back at the exact
fields in agent.json5 and config.yaml.
- Agent-to-agent and the org chart: who may ask whom for work, and how the org chart and the allow-lists combine.
- Human in the loop and approvals: which actions wait for a person, and where the approval cards appear.
- Privacy and security: what an agent may read, reach and run, and how to tighten it.
- Multi-user: team accounts on one deployment, and per-customer isolation for a public-facing agent. Two different features.
- Subscriptions and monetization: charging for access to an agent.
- MCP servers: giving an agent external tools, with or without a sign-in.
- Webhooks: letting outside systems trigger an agent.
- Scheduler and heartbeat: recurring work, and the agent's own periodic check-in.
- Memory and self-learning: what an agent keeps between conversations and how it distils it.
- Notes: the agent's linked wiki.
- Issues: the shared tracker between people and agents.
- Revisions: the automatic history of configuration and markdown changes.
- Channels and connectors: WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Discord, email and the rest, including the OpenAI-compatible API.
- Cortex and Pulse: the background reasoning engine and the proactive suggestions it produces.
- Budgets: token ceilings and spending warnings.
- Ask the agent: self-configuration, magic links and the AgentFather admin tools.
- Beyond the deployment, A2A and MCP: talking to outside agents, and letting outside platforms reach yours.
