Agents can now create stacks and blocks
Agent keys can create custom stacks and blocks, turn on managed stacks, and write facts to a stack that isn't on yet, for builders running agents on the API.
Agents already act under their own identity in NOAN, but creating the structure to hold their work was out of reach. An agent could write facts to blocks that already existed, but it could not open a new stack or block to put them in.
What's new
- Create stacks and blocks. Agent keys with the
botrole can now create custom stacks and blocks and turn on managed stacks. - Write ahead of a stack. An agent can write a fact to a stack that is not switched on yet.
- Delete and overwrite stay out of reach. Removing or overwriting a stack remains unavailable to agent keys, so an agent can build structure but not tear it down.
Why it matters
When an agent researching a new area has nowhere to file what it finds, you end up creating the stack by hand before it can start. Letting the agent open its own stack means it can organize what it gathers as it goes, while the destructive paths stay with people, keeping least-privilege access intact.
Where to find it
Any agent key in your workspace picks up this ability. The API is documented at api.getnoan.com.
