Working with the Agent

Capability	Status	Description
The Agent calls your tools	Released	Managed MCP: the Node service exposes business capabilities as tools, so the page and the Agent work on the same data
Hand off to the message input	Released	`message.append` puts prepared content into the current session’s input; you confirm before sending
Start Agent sessions	Released	Both the page and the Node service can start one: replies stream in, approvals and questionnaires are handled in the page, or `open(sessionId)` shows the session in the chat side panel; Node sets a concurrency limit and extra calls wait in line; you can choose the model and agent
Follow up while a session is busy	Coming soon	`run` with `whenBusy`: when the target session is busy, wait in line for it to go idle, or inject the message into the running turn

Capability	Status	Description
Open in a session	Released	A reference in the input starts the backend and opens the page; `open` with a `path` opens any address inside the plugin; reopening in the same session keeps the current route and state
One service for every session	Released	One service per plugin, one page per session
Survives sign-in changes	Released	Refreshing sign-in credentials doesn’t affect running Mini Apps; after the same account signs back in, list the tools again and continue without republishing
Read and observe user sessions	Coming soon	`agent.sessions` lists your sessions, `agent.session` reads one, and `agent.observe` subscribes to its progress; requires `session.read` in the manifest, and you can switch it off in the permission panel at any time

Capability	Status	Description
Standalone window	Released	Pop the page out of the file panel; `surface.window` declares size, always-on-top, transparency, and click-through, the position is remembered, and visibility doesn’t follow the main window
Page-side window handle	Experimental	`window.mcode.miniapp.window` reads and adjusts the pop-out window

Capability	Status	Description
Microphone and speech-to-text	Coming soon	With `deviceAccess` declared in the manifest, the page can use the microphone, and `speech.transcribe` hands the recording to the host for transcription

Capability	Status	Description
Backend service	Released	Export `start(context)`; the host assigns the port and handles start and stop. The Node entry can also launch Python, Go, or other services and reverse-proxy to them from the assigned port
Persistent data	Released	Each plugin gets an isolated `dataDir` that survives service restarts and plugin updates
Data access	Released	Host Connector calls Notion and other apps with the account you authorized in MiniMax Code, and the plugin stores no credentials; CLIs, HTTP APIs, SDKs, and local files work directly too
Unified tool entry	Coming soon	With `toolAccess` declared in the manifest, `context.tool` lists and calls the host’s mounted MCP tools and Connectors with one API; every call is judged by the permission rules you set for the Agent, and the host prompts when confirmation is needed

Capability	Status	Description
Port authentication	Released	Each run gets its own credential, so only the Mini App page and managed MCP can reach the service port; no plugin code changes
Plugins and pages never handle credentials	Released	The host makes third-party calls on your behalf; host credentials, internal ports, and tool references never reach the page
Grants and confirmation	Released	Connector providers, Agent access, always-on-top, and click-through must be declared in the manifest; handing off to the input always needs confirmation; Agent approvals are only “allow once” and “deny”, and a Mini App can’t write your global permission rules
Permission panel	Coming soon	The plugin detail page gets a switch for each of the Mini App’s permissions: Connectors, Agent sessions, reading sessions, tool calls, and microphone; on by default, and switching one off takes effect immediately without a restart
System permissions denied by default	Coming soon	Only Mini Apps that declare and enable the microphone permission can use the microphone; camera, location, notifications, and other system permissions are not available to pages

Capability	Status	Description
Create and install	Released	`/miniapp-creator` builds from one sentence and checks the result with screenshots in the built-in browser; you can also hand an existing directory or ZIP to the Agent to publish; official Mini Apps install, update, and uninstall through the marketplace
Operations	Released	Publishing happens in steps and a failed install restores the previous version; `inspect` shows the source, runtime status, and diagnostics; `stop` and `restart`, with a restart offered from the failed state
Marketplace updates don’t interrupt running Mini Apps	Coming soon	When the marketplace has a new version, running instances keep the current one; the toolbar and plugin page offer an “Update” action so you choose when to switch
Scheduled work	Planned	Update data or run recurring work on a schedule

Capability	Status	Description
Minimum version and capability detection	Coming soon	Declare the minimum MiniMax Code version in the manifest; older hosts don’t load the Mini App, while Skills and ordinary MCP in the same package keep working. `capabilities.has(name)` checks which interfaces the current host supports, so you can degrade gracefully on older versions
