Frequently Asked Questions
Automation Worker
How do I schedule an Automation Agent to run daily?
Set a cron-style trigger on your node — for example, every morning at 7 AM. The platform manages the schedule reliably; there are no fragile cron scripts to maintain. Each execution is logged with full usage attribution.
Can the Automation Agent connect to external data sources?
Yes. The agent can use configured tools to pull data from URLs, APIs, or other services. Tool use is governed by the platform contract and every invocation is metered and auditable.
What happens if a scheduled run fails?
Failed runs are logged with error details in your node's audit trail. You can inspect the failure, adjust the configuration, and re-trigger manually. The platform does not silently swallow errors.
Is the Automation Agent suitable for production workloads?
Yes. Triggers are managed infrastructure with reliability guarantees, governance boundaries, and per-run cost attribution. This is not a toy scheduler — it is designed for real recurring workloads.
How is usage billed for scheduled runs?
Each scheduled execution is metered identically to an interactive chat call: a platform premium on LLM tokens plus computation charges. There is no additional fee for the scheduling infrastructure itself.
