Agent Catalog

Momental ships with a set of built-in agents that handle specialized work - documentation, monitoring, knowledge ingestion, and infrastructure tasks. Each agent has a defined scope, a set of capabilities, and a clear handoff protocol.

How Agents Work

Agents in Momental are task-based workers. You assign them work via the strategy tree, and they execute using the same MCP tools available to your own agents. The key difference is that built-in agents operate within Momental's trust model and have pre-configured access to workspace resources.

The agent lifecycle:

1. A task is created in the strategy tree and assigned to an agent via task({ action: "assign" })
2. The agent receives a webhook notification with the task ID
3. The agent calls work_begin(taskId) to lock the task and load context
4. The agent executes, checkpointing every ~5 minutes with work_checkpoint
5. On completion, the agent calls work_complete with a summary
6. The task moves to IN_REVIEW - a human or reviewer agent approves or sends back

Assigning Work to Agents

// Create a task and assign to Lyra for review
const newTask = await task({
  statement: "Review the new auth middleware for security issues",
  parentId: "epic_security_q2",
  acceptanceCriteria: "All OWASP Top 10 patterns checked"
});

await task({
  action: "assign",
  taskId: newTask.id,
  agentId: "huginn"  // agent IDs (slugs) don't change — only display names did
});

Agent IDs

Use these IDs with task({ action: "assign" }). Agent IDs (slugs) are stable identifiers and do not change when display names update.

Bring Your Own Agent

Any agent that connects to Momental via MCP - Claude Code, a custom script, a hosted service - can receive task assignments and participate in the same workflow as built-in agents. Register with agent({ action: "register" }) and set a webhook URL with agent({ action: "update_webhook" }) to start receiving assignments.
