Agents
Run coding agents in the background, on a schedule or triggered by events. A Sentry error gets fixed within seconds. Docs stay in sync with your code. Security vulnerabilities get caught before they become problems. Each agent runs in a secure sandbox with full codebase and repository access and your configured MCP servers.

​
Agent harness

Tembo is harness and model agnostic. For each agent you configure, you pick the harness (and model) that runs in the session it spawns, for example Claude Code with Sonnet 4.6, Codex with GPT-5.4, or Cursor. Set a default per agent, or override per session. See Models for the full supported model list, BYOK details, and AWS Bedrock BYOK support.
Anthropic’s Claude models. Best balance of quality, reliability, and cost.Models: Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.6, Opus 4.5, Sonnet 4.5, Haiku 4.5
OpenAI’s GPT-5 family with configurable reasoning effort (minimal, low, medium, high).Models: GPT-5.4, GPT-5.4 Mini, GPT-5.4 Nano, GPT-5.3 Codex, GPT-5.2, GPT-5.2 Codex, GPT-5.1, GPT-5.1 Codex Max, GPT-5.1 Codex Mini

Triggers

These are just examples to give you a rough idea. You decide how to set this up, there are no limitations.

​
Scheduled

Run agents at regular intervals.
ScheduleExample
HourlyMonitor for CI failures, new Sentry errors
DailyGenerate changelogs, post standup summaries
WeeklyClean up stale TODOs, security scans
MonthlyDependency audits, documentation reviews

​
Event-driven

React to events from your integrations in real-time.
IntegrationEvents
GitHubPR opened, PR merged, issue created, comment added
GitLabMerge request opened, merged, issue created
SentryNew error, error spike, regression detected
LinearIssue created, issue updated, status changed
SlackMessage in channel, @tembo mention

​
Trigger through webhooks

You can trigger an agent on demand from external systems using the agent’s webhook trigger endpoint. The payload is passed to the agent as event context, so your instructions can reference it directly. For example, you could write instructions like “Fix the issue at the URL provided in the event payload”.

​
Creating an agent

​
From a template

Agent templates
  1. Go to Agents in the dashboard
  2. Click Templates
  3. Pick a template and click Use template
  4. Customize the instructions and enable
Browse all templates

​
From scratch

  1. Click New Agent
  2. Write your instructions
  3. Add triggers (schedule and/or event-based)
  4. Select agent harness
  5. Instruct MCP servers or integrations
  6. Save and enable

​
Macros

You can trigger a specific agent on demand from anywhere you can mention @tembo by using its macro. 
@tembo !<macro-name> <prompt>
Tembo routes the request to the agent with that macro and passes the rest of the message as the prompt. For example, this triggers the agent named review: 
@tembo !review please review this PR

​
Beyond code

Agents aren’t limited to engineering work. With MCP servers, agents can work across your entire stack.
