Each step in a workflow is a node. A node wraps a single tool call and defines what inputs it needs and what outputs it produces.
Learn how workflows chain multiple tools together into reusable, automated sequences your agent can run.
Workflows
A workflow (also called a skill) is a sequence of tool calls chained together to accomplish a multi-step task. Instead of giving your agent step-by-step instructions every time, you build a workflow once and reuse it.
How Workflows Work
A workflow connects multiple tools into a defined sequence. When your agent runs a workflow, it follows each step in order, passing results from one tool to the next.
Example: A "Research and Summarize" workflow might:
- Search the web for articles on a topic
- Scrape the top 3 results
- Summarize the content into bullet points
- Save the summary to a document
Each step is a tool call. The workflow handles the wiring between them.
Building vs. Using Workflows
Using Workflows — Browse published workflows in the marketplace. Add a workflow to your Agent Group. Your agent can run it whenever it matches the task. One-click remix to make your own version.
Building Workflows -- Open the visual workflow builder. Drag and connect tool nodes on the canvas. Configure each node's inputs and outputs. Publish publicly for others to use, or keep private.
Scheduled Workflow Runs
Schedules let a workflow run later, repeatedly, or on a fixed cadence after it is allowed on an Agent Group. A workflow can be allowed explicitly, through Allow all workflows for public published workflows, or through private-workflow access settings for private workflows the user can access. Each schedule has one execution mode:
BYO agent scheduler — AgentPMT exposes due schedule items, but your external agent performs the work. This fits OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude, or custom runtimes that need to own execution, credentials, approvals, or environment setup.
AgentPMT managed run — AgentPMT runs due workflow items through the gateway using the model assigned to the workflow. This fits hands-off schedules where AgentPMT should execute the workflow automatically.
