Chief
The chief is the host’s main agent: it reaches every module the host runs and operates the system for the people who own it. One chief per host; it runs turns through the agent like a team member, and can wake and direct team members through the board as people do.
Ask it
Section titled “Ask it”- In the app: the chief’s chat, like any agent’s.
- gRPC:
pcx.agent.v1.Agent/RunTurnwithagent: "chief". - MCP / channels: the tool
chief_ask(the question, an optional conversation id) - what Telegram and other channel modules call.
A conversation is continued only by who started it, from the same channel. A dropped connection does not kill a turn: the conversation says whether one runs.
What it may do
Section titled “What it may do”By default every tool an agent may call. Tools reserved for people (approving decisions, team and trust management) need an explicit grant by name; any tool can also be withheld. The grant lives in the chief’s settings and is enforced by the host - the chief cannot widen it. Every tool call of every turn is recorded (the tool, its input, whether it failed) and listed in the app, newest first.
