Agent Operations in Disp8ch: give each agent the right model, tools, skills, and limits

Agents in Disp8ch have profiles, tools, model overrides, skills, extensions, budgets, channel routing, workspace files, and observable activity.

What it does

Turns the feature into usable workspace objects.

Disp8ch treats Agent Operations as part of the operating loop. The result is visible, editable, and connected to the other surfaces.

  • Defines per-agent model choice, tool scope, skills, extensions, channel routes, and workspace context.
  • Spawns parallel workers for delegated jobs while keeping reports and work products tied to the same session.
  • Tracks cost attribution, approvals, heartbeats, and work status so agents do not disappear into terminal tabs.
How it works

Context flows through the app instead of being trapped in chat.

The feature reads from the same workspace objects used by the rest of Disp8ch, then writes back through confirmation-gated actions when work changes state.

  • Each agent has a profile that can be reused by WebChat, Workflows, Boards, Council, Hierarchy, and Channels.
  • Skills and extensions are enabled deliberately, with provenance and security checks before risky capabilities are trusted.
  • Work Monitor and Activity surfaces show running work, blocked tasks, approvals, and failures.
What makes it different

Built for operators who need auditability.

The feature is designed around explicit state, reviewable outputs, and practical handoffs to the next place work should go.

  • The agent is not only a prompt. It has governance, scope, and observable runtime state.
  • Agents can belong to organizations and goals, which makes long-running work easier to assign and review.
  • Agent capabilities can be broad for a trusted local operator or narrow for channel and unattended use.
Works with

Agent Operations is strongest when it connects to the rest of the workspace.

A typical job starts with a user request, pulls in sources or app state, creates a plan, asks for confirmation when something changes, and leaves a trace in the right surface.

All features

Org dashboard

Hierarchy

Hierarchy gives agent work company-style structure: organizations, roles, goals, reporting lines, source packs, budgets, approvals, heartbeats, and workload.

Disp8ch Council showing a structured multi-agent deliberation and verdict area
Decision system

Council

Council sessions let agents debate options, vote, and record a verdict with dissent preserved. It is built for decisions where the reasoning matters as much as the final answer.

Disp8ch Boards showing tasks, status lanes, and agent work items
Work tracking

Boards

Boards turn ideas, blockers, council verdicts, source findings, and workflow output into tracked work with owners, status, history, and recovery actions.
