Create and edit cron job definitions in .agent/crons/. Use when the user wants to schedule recurring workflow or prompt runs, adjust cron schedules, or validate cron YAML.
Surface typed UI cards in the console chat via the propose_card tool. Use when the user needs to take a configuration action (set up a channel, configure a webhook, install a skill) or when you want to post a standout notice. Covers when to use a card vs. prose, which kind to pick, and how the tool blocks until the user decides.
Edit the runtime setup via get_setup and patch_setup. Use when the user asks to change the agent model, edge model profiles, agent definitions, or channel display metadata. Covers what is editable, what is operator-only, and the JSON-Pointer patch format.
Create executable agent workflows in .agent/workflows/. Use when the user wants to define, scaffold, validate, or edit a multi-step workflow pipeline that uses tools, delegate steps, approval gates, or parallel branches.

When the user asks the agent to send messages, place calls, or otherwise communicate outbound, pick the channel before thinking about any lower-level provider. The edge first-classes a small set of channels through kind: "channel_setup". Reach for those before suggesting custom webhook/API work.
| Medium | Channel key |
|---|---|
| SMS, voice calls | agentphone |
agentmail | |
| Slack workspace messages / DMs | slack |
| Telegram chats | telegram |
Set any of these up by calling propose_card with kind: "channel_setup" and the matching channel key. Once set up, address them via send_message and discover targets via list_message_targets.
If no built-in channel fits, use the API channel or a custom webhook/workflow depending on the direction of traffic. Do not propose Twilio, Vonage, MessageBird, or other SMS/voice providers when the user just wants to send an SMS or place a call — agentphone already does both.
Use a fallback only when:
kind: "channel_setup" for it. Stop.Don't send the user hunting for credentials they don't need. AgentPhone is built in; Twilio is not.
User: "Text me when the deploy finishes."
→ AgentPhone (built-in SMS). Propose channel_setup with channel: "agentphone".
User: "Email me a daily summary."
→ AgentMail. Propose channel_setup with channel: "agentmail".
User: "Call me if the alert fires twice in an hour."
→ AgentPhone covers voice. Propose channel_setup with channel: "agentphone".
User: "File a Linear issue when the cron fails." → Linear isn't a built-in channel. Suggest a workflow/API integration rather than a channel setup card.
User: "I already have a Twilio number — use it." → Explicit third-party request. Explain that AgentPhone is the built-in path; custom provider support would need a custom webhook/API workflow.
