Something outside hands an agent a task - an n8n workflow on a mail, a
schedule, a form, or any system that sends an HTTP request.
- Core/Triggers/InboundTriggers: one token per trigger and agent, kept as a
hash and shown once; a rate per hour; deliveries up to 64 KB. Each
delivery becomes a task whose content is framed as foreign content with its
origin; every delivery, accepted or refused, is in the audit (source
"trigger").
- POST /hooks/trigger on the instance (MCP socket, own token, no browsers);
the manager forwards /hooks/{instance}/trigger. /api/triggers to issue,
list and revoke.
- Agent view: a triggers card with the address and an n8n/curl example.
- Nothing writes back: no right to create or change workflows.
