## Usage

### MR comments

Comment `@tembo` on any merge request to request changes. Works in the main thread or as inline review comments.

```
@tembo Please add error handling to this function
```

Works on MRs created by Tembo and MRs created by your team.

## Agents

See [Agents](/features/agents) for available GitLab event triggers.

### Failed pipelines

Tembo can detect CI/CD pipeline failures and open fix MRs automatically. Set up an [agent](/features/agents) with a pipeline failure trigger.
