Agents That Do the Work and Show Every Step.

A VectorMind agent takes a job, uses the tools you give it and logs what it did. You decide what it can reach and where a person signs off.

How an Agent Connects

Work comes in, the agent uses only the tools you allow, and risky actions wait for a person.

How an Agent ConnectsHover or tap a part to see what it does.

Work arrives through channels, files and skills. The agent calls toolkits and MCP connectors, pauses at approvals for a person, and every step lands in the run log.

  • Channels: Chat, email, WhatsApp and webhooks bring work in, and answers go back the same way.
  • Files: Documents people attach in the chat, read as they are or with fields pulled out by Iris.
  • Toolkits: Built-in tools you add per agent, from web search to a scheduler.
  • Approvals: Any tool can need approval. The run pauses until a person approves or denies the call.
  • MCP Connectors: Your organisation's own MCP servers, each listing exactly which tools the agent can call.
  • Credentials: Kept in their own store and attached to connectors, never written into an agent's instructions.
  • Run Log: Every step, tool call and result is kept, so you can open any run again later.
  • Skills: Approved instructions your organisation writes once and reuses across agents.

What an Agent Is

Instructions, a model and the tools it may use, saved as a versioned spec. You build it on a canvas and watch each step as it runs.

Agents are built on Praxis, the agent framework in VectorMind. See Praxis

Chat
Talk to it in VectorMind and follow each step in the side panel.
Email
Any IMAP mailbox or Microsoft 365. It reads, and replies if you allow it.
WhatsApp
It answers messages sent to a connected number.
Webhook
Your own systems call it with a key an administrator issues.

How It Stays Governed

The controls sit in the platform, not in the agent's instructions.

  1. 01

    Tools That Change Things Start Off

    Tools are switched on per agent. Scheduling and a skill's own tools ship off, and toolkits that run code wait for a sandbox.

  2. 02

    Nothing Goes Live Unapproved

    An administrator approves each new version, and the approved one keeps serving while a change waits.

  3. 03

    Credentials Stay Locked Down

    A credential can be limited to named agents, and only an administrator can revoke one. An agent on an OAuth account gets only that account's permissions.

  4. 04

    Roles Decide Who Does What

    Building and publishing need a SuperUser; approving versions, issuing webhook keys and revoking credentials need an administrator. New agents stay private until shared.

  5. 05

    Retired, Never Erased

    A retired agent keeps its full history, and an administrator can restore it.

04 / Agents

What It Connects To

Each kind of reach has its own controls.

Toolkits

Built-in tools you add per agent.

  • Read files people upload
  • Extract fields from documents with Iris
  • Search the web
  • Keep named memories, contacts and a to-do list
  • Ask the person a question mid-run
  • Schedule a follow-up, or wait and resume
  • Hand work to another agent or to sub-agents

MCP Connectors

Register a server in your organisation's catalogue and attach it with a credential. Requests for new servers go to an administrator.

Skills

Each version is used only once an administrator approves it. Skills are text, so they can't run code.
