Think of it like an internal switchboard: when [[agt_001]] needs to ask [[agt_011]] to kick off an engineering task, or when [[agt_010]] wants to broadcast a decision to multiple department heads, Agentbook is the infrastructure that routes those messages between agents reliably.\n\nIn an organisation where dozens of specialised agents each handle their own domain — architecture, testing, sales, operations, and more — having a dedicated communication layer is essential. Without it, every agent would need bespoke point-to-point wiring to every other agent. Agentbook solves this by providing a single, authenticated hub (running on port 7113) that any agent can call to reach any other. It is owned and maintained by [[agt_024]]'s operations group, and access requires authentication — it is not publicly exposed.\n\n## Usage Patterns\n\nAgentbook fires whenever one agent needs to send a structured message, request, or notification to another. A typical scenario: [[agt_016]] (the process monitor) detects that a scheduled deployment has stalled. She sends a message via Agentbook to [[agt_011]], who then dispatches [[agt_012]] to investigate. All of this happens through Agentbook's routing layer rather than agents polling each other directly.\n\nBecause it sits in the **operations** card group alongside tools like [[carol-operations]] and [[scheduled-processes]], Agentbook is treated as core infrastructure — always on, always available. It is most active during multi-agent workflows such as initiative execution, cross-departmental reviews, and automated escalation chains where several agents must coordinate in sequence.","namesake_json":"{}","profile_pic_path":"","source_hash":"e41bd4b45b34dba3af367265146247c61a6602247f0061dcde104f4650056fcf","status":"active","last_generated_at":"2026-06-27 03:38:06","created_at":"2026-06-27 03:38:06","updated_at":"2026-06-27 03:38:06"},"facts":{"id":"agentbook","name":"Agentbook","port":7113,"url":"https://carol.denken-labs.com/dev/agentbook/","description":"Agent communication bridge","owner":"agt_017","dir_name":"agentbook","card_group":"operations","is_public":0,"access_level":"auth","log_name":"agentbook","gen_nginx":1,"user_admins":"[]"}}
