Platform Chat Harness
The Platform Chat harness is a focused operator environment built on the empty Base harness. It powers the global chat interface where users manage Everruns through the authoritative platform catalog.
When to Use
Section titled “When to Use”- Global chat interface sessions
- Agents that need to manage platform resources (agents, harnesses, providers)
- Administrative assistants that interact with the Everruns API
Configuration
Section titled “Configuration”| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | platform-chat |
| System Prompt | Extended prompt with platform management instructions |
| Default Model | None (inherits from agent or organization) |
Bundled Capabilities
Section titled “Bundled Capabilities”| Capability | What it provides |
|---|---|
| Platform | discover, read-only query, and mutating execute over the authoritative Everruns command catalog |
| Loop detection | Stops repeated command/discovery cycles |
| Error disclosure | Returns actionable command failures to the operator |
| Compaction | Bounds long management conversations |
Platform Chat discovers current command names and schemas before acting. It
uses query for inspection, execute only for requested mutations, and then
queries the final state. For recurring autonomous work it creates an Agent
Trigger rather than scheduling the Platform Chat session.
Generic-purpose tools such as Bash, web fetch, session secrets, and session schedules are intentionally absent. This keeps command selection focused and prevents credentials or schedules from being written into the management session when they belong to the created worker Agent.
When a tool needs a credential, Platform Chat attaches the capability and creates a value-free Agent credential setup requirement. It links to the Agent’s Credentials tab, where the user enters the value in a write-only form. Platform Chat never asks for or reuses plaintext from the conversation.
