Automations

An automation runs a prompt on its own: on a schedule, or when a trigger the host supports fires. Each run is a session, and the host keeps the history.

Screen

The palette (ctrl+p) has Show automations. In the list:

Key
n	New automation
e	Edit
r	Run now
o	Turn on or off
d	Delete
right / left	Show or hide details

Commands

Command		Flags
automation list	Every automation	--json
automation show <uri>	One of them	--json

MCP tools

list_automations is always served:

Tool	What it does	Arguments
list_automations core, read only	What the host runs on a schedule, whether each is on, and when it next fires.

Running and changing an automation needs --mcp-tools automations:

Tool	What it does	Arguments
run_automation automations	Fire an automation now, without waiting for its schedule. Answers once the host has taken it, not once it has finished.	automationstring, required An automation URI from list_automations.
set_automation_enabled automations	Stop an automation firing, or start it again. The definition stays either way.	automationstring, required enabledboolean, required
remove_automation automations	Delete an automation from the host. Use set_automation_enabled to stop one without losing it.	automationstring, required
