agent-configuration

Per-agent settings that control how an automated agent runs, including its permissions, resources, time limits, and ability to handle several tasks at once.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure autonomy, read-only access, execution limits, parallel task capacity, and whether the agent is available as an MCP tool.
Why use it?
It gives each agent clear operating limits and avoids managing all agents with the same settings.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

agent-configuration scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Agent Configuration

Per-agent settings for autonomy, read-only mode, resources, capabilities, execution timeout, reliability, and runtime.

How It Works

Each agent has independent configuration options that control its behavior, resource usage, and execution constraints. Settings are managed through the Agent Detail page or the API.

The Settings Tab

The Agent Detail page has a Settings tab (visible to owners only) -- a sectioned home for per-agent configuration. Current sections: Guardrails (see Agent Guardrails), Parallel Capacity (below), and Expose via MCP (publish the agent as a dedicated MCP tool — see MCP Server). The remaining settings below are managed from the agent header controls, toggles on the Dashboard and Agents pages, or the API.

Parallel Capacity

How many tasks the agent may run concurrently (max_parallel_tasks, default 3). Work beyond the limit queues and drains as slots free up.

  • Set it in the Settings tab's Parallel Capacity section; the panel shows current slot usage ("using X / Y slots").
  • Fleet ceiling (admin): an admin caps the whole fleet via GET/PUT /api/settings/max-parallel-tasks-ceiling (default 10, range 1–32). Owners pick any value up to the ceiling. If an agent's stored value exceeds a later-lowered ceiling, the stored value is kept but the effective limit is clamped to the ceiling — the panel shows a notice when this applies.
  • API: GET /api/agents/{name}/capacity returns the stored value, the ceiling, and the effective limit.

Autonomy Mode

Master gate for the agent's scheduled operations.

  • Toggle from the Dashboard, Agents page, or Agent Detail view
  • When disabled, none of the agent's schedules fire
  • The toggle does not change each schedule's own on/off switch: a schedule you disabled stays disabled when you turn autonomy back on, and one you left enabled resumes automatically
  • API: GET /api/agents/{name}/autonomy and PUT /api/agents/{name}/autonomy

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

agent-configuration is an agent published in the GitHub repository Abilityai/trinity (496 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,870 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
