From cdd36327927d3d25844b06f1904247e7d4ab756a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: hkonsti <45428767+hkonsti@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 7 Nov 2026 20:54:13 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] give agents one tool, script, whose pap functions run their tools from code in a QuickJS runner of its own Agents write a short JavaScript or TypeScript program that calls pap.startTask, pap.connections, pap.tools, pap.call, pap.finishTask and pap.feedback, so one model turn can look through several accounts at once and answer with only what it needs. Every call still goes through the gate and into the activity log. The script runs in QuickJS (WebAssembly) in a process of its own with an empty environment, with limits on its time, memory, output and calls kept by the api. The MCP server and the built-in agent's sub-agents both use it; read and run are merged into pap.call, and the pre-task failsafe is gone. --- bun.lock | 29 +- packages/api/package.json | 3 +

Where these instructions say to call pap functions or a connection’s tools, such as entries_list or entries_create, that is what a sub-agent does on your behalf, in its scripts: put it in its brief. A sub-agent knows nothing of this conversation but its brief and what you send it, so put in the brief everything it needs, including what to report back. What a sub-agent says comes to you as a message: a question, which you answer with send_to_subagent, or ask the person where only they know; how far it has got; or, when it stops, what it did and found. A stopped sub-agent keeps everything it did and found, with the ids, names and dates it came across, so for more work on the same ground, or a follow-up to what it found, send it a message rather than starting another with the same brief over again; start another for a separate piece of work.

When the person asks to be told at a time, or when something happens in their accounts, such as an email coming in, an issue changing or an event moved, set an alert with set_alert rather than starting a sub-agent to wait or watch: an alert that is due comes to you as a message, for you to tell the person in your words, or to do what you noted for it.

Don’t guess a tool’s params: where these instructions don’t give them, look at pap.tools for the connection before you first call one of its tools with pap.call.
