Orchestrate. Approve.
Audit Everything.

Flow lets AI agents execute multi-step workflows with human approval gates and conditional branching. Inspect gives you complete visibility into every execution โ€” who approved what, when, and why.

Seven Tools. Full Workflow Lifecycle.

Flow defines and executes structured plans with human oversight. Inspect audits every execution โ€” together they cover the complete lifecycle from orchestration to accountability.

flow.into

Multi-Step Workflow Execution

Define and execute structured multi-step workflows from a plan array. Flow handles dependency resolution between steps, type bridging via Prism, and CTC validation. Completed workflows can be saved as reusable skills and scheduled for future execution.

Best for: Any multi-tool workflow where steps depend on the outputs of prior steps

Key capabilities

  • Steps reference prior outputs with $step_id.result syntax
  • validate_only: true produces a CTC without executing โ€” pre-flight check
  • save_as_skill: true persists the workflow for reuse or scheduling
  • Logic constraints are automatically checked before matching steps execute
  • schedule param defers execution to a future time via Scheduler
  • Supports inline conditional steps with type: 'conditional' + branches
๐Ÿ’ณ Credits vary per step ยท CTC generated on completion

What Agents Can Do With a Safety Net

Flow lets agents take consequential actions confidently. Inspect ensures every action is traceable, auditable, and debuggable after the fact.

Bulk Invoice Creation with Approval

Pull qualified leads from Salesforce, type-bridge them to billing customers via Prism, then pause for human approval before creating invoices in QuickBooks. No accidental bulk charges โ€” every batch is human-confirmed.

flow.intoflow.request-approval

Human-in-the-Loop Onboarding

Route new signups by tier using flow.route, then request missing profile fields with flow.request-feedback before provisioning accounts. Enterprise accounts get an approval gate; standard accounts flow through automatically.

flow.routeflow.request-feedbackflow.request-approval

Scheduled Data Sync Pipelines

Define a multi-step ETL workflow with flow.into, save it as a skill, and schedule it on a recurring cadence. Inspect gives you a per-run audit trail โ€” catch a failed sync immediately and inspect the exact step that broke.

flow.intoinspect.execution-history

Compliance-Sensitive Record Mutations

Wrap any destructive operation โ€” record deletion, status changes, permission grants โ€” in a flow.request-approval gate. Inspect.ctc-executions provides a cryptographically signed audit trail of every approved action for compliance reporting.

flow.request-approvalinspect.ctc-executions

Workflow Debugging & Root Cause Analysis

When a multi-step workflow fails in production, use inspect.execution-history to find the failed run, then inspect.execution-details to see exactly what args were passed and what error was returned โ€” without guessing.

inspect.execution-historyinspect.execution-details

Skill Performance Monitoring

Save high-value workflows as reusable skills and track their execution history via inspect.ctc-executions. Monitor success rates, latency trends, and credit consumption across all runs of the same workflow definition.

Flow & Inspect Are Better Together

Pair orchestration and auditing with Logic constraints, Warden security, Prism type-bridging, and Scheduler โ€” without writing any glue code.

Flow+Logic

Constraint-Enforced Workflow Execution

Constraints stored in Logic are automatically checked by flow.into before executing matching steps. Define a business rule once โ€” 'enterprise customers must have a billing contact before invoicing' โ€” and it applies across every workflow without modifying each plan.

logic.constrain('require billing_contact') โ†’ flow.into โ†’ [blocked or continued]

โœฆ Business rules written once, enforced everywhere

Flow+Warden

Security-Gated Workflow Execution

Run Warden's intent analysis before sensitive flow.into steps to verify the workflow hasn't been tampered with or manipulated by prompt injection. Use flow.request-approval as a manual backstop when Warden flags anomalous intent.

warden.intent(check workflow plan) โ†’ flow.request-approval if flagged โ†’ flow.into

โœฆ Workflows that can't be hijacked by adversarial inputs

Flow+Inspect

The Execution + Audit Loop

Flow executes and generates a CTC on completion. Inspect reads those CTCs to answer questions like 'did this workflow run today?', 'who approved step 3?', and 'which execution failed last Tuesday?' โ€” full accountability without extra instrumentation.

flow.into โ†’ ctc_id โ†’ inspect.ctc-executions โ†’ per-run audit log

โœฆ Zero-effort audit trails โ€” built into every workflow run

Flow+Prism

Transformed Data Across Steps

Use prism.refract or prism.focus as steps inside flow.into plans to bridge data types between integrations. Salesforce lead shapes become QuickBooks customer shapes automatically โ€” no glue code, no manual field mapping.

salesforce.get_leads โ†’ prism.focus(crm.lead โ†’ billing.customer) โ†’ quickbooks.create_invoice

โœฆ Integrations that compose without manual field mapping

Flow+Scheduler

Recurring Automated Pipelines

Pass a schedule argument directly to flow.into or use scheduler.create with a plan array to run any workflow on a cron-like schedule. Inspect.execution-history gives you a per-run log โ€” catch a missed or failed scheduled run immediately.

flow.into(plan, schedule='0 9 * * 1-5') โ†’ runs every weekday at 9am

โœฆ Reliable scheduled pipelines with built-in observability

Inspect+Prism

Execution Analytics & Reporting

Export execution history from Inspect and pipe it through prism.analyze or prism.chart to surface patterns โ€” which workflows fail most often, which steps are slowest, or how credit consumption trends over time.

inspect.execution-history โ†’ prism.analyze(mode='exploratory') โ†’ insights + charts

โœฆ Agent observability without building a separate analytics stack

Conduit SDK
