managing-agents

A control panel and API for managing Trinity agents, including their health, activity, tasks, schedules, credentials, reports, and access settings. An agent is a software worker that can perform tasks on request or on a schedule.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect agent health and activity, run or review tasks, chat with an agent, schedule work, manage repeated task runs, reuse playbooks, view reports, and configure credentials or paid access.
Why use it?
It puts an agent's operational information and controls in one place instead of requiring separate tools for each part of its lifecycle.

Getting it into your agent

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

managing-agents 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 — 130 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Managing Agents

Control the lifecycle, health, and resources of your Trinity agents through the UI, API, or MCP tools.

How It Works

The Agent Detail Page

Overview overview Default landing tab — trends, health, recent activity (see below)
Tasks tasks Headless task execution and history
Chat chat Stateless conversation -- see Agent Chat
Dashboard dashboard The agent's own dashboard — only when it ships a dashboard.yaml
Brain brain Knowledge-graph page — only for agents that declare the capability
Reports reports Structured results the agent published -- see Agent Reports
Schedules schedules Cron-based automation -- see Scheduling
Loops loops Sequential bounded task runs -- see Agent Loops
Playbooks playbooks Reusable command templates
Credentials credentials Credential injection and export

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.

managing-agents 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 2,058 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.
