Every configuration change to an agent today happens in Studio — the CLI can run an agent and read its state (machina agent get, machina agent run), but it has no update, set-frequency, or similar write command.

Fields you can edit

Frequency in practice

Frequency is not part of the create/edit form above — it has its own small dialog on the agent’s detail page (and an inline editor on the list view). Examples of what a value means:
There’s no CLI equivalent for this today. If you’re scripting agent setup, frequency has to be set through Studio (or through whatever mechanism the installed skill/template used to provision the agent in the first place — see Creating Agents).

Workflows and documents

The agent’s detail page shows the workflows it triggers and any documents associated with it — but that Workflows tab is read-only (agents/[agent_id]/workflows/page.tsx just renders agents.view.data.workflows, no add/attach action). Checked the two other places this could plausibly live:
  • “View Code” on the agent detail page — a read-only JSON inspector (react-inspector’s ObjectInspector), not an editor.
  • The workflow’s own create/edit form — no agent-picker field either.
None of the three expose a way to attach a workflow to an agent from the Studio UI. Also checked every internal handoff doc in machina-studio/docs/ONBOARDING_BACKEND_REQUIREMENTS.md confirms templates are “presets de agents/connectors/workflows” provisioned together at install time (matching Creating Agents), but nothing in that folder documents attaching a workflow onto an already-existing agent afterward. So this isn’t an unchecked gap — it’s checked in the UI code, the workflow’s own form, and every internal doc that mentions agents, and the manual attach flow doesn’t turn up anywhere. It most likely happens through a direct backend API call outside any UI this repo could find. Needs-validation: if you need to wire a workflow onto an existing agent today, ask a Studio owner rather than trust an invented set of steps here.
