Built-in - These agents are part of the Conductor framework itself. You can configure them, but cannot modify their source code.

​
What Are Built-in Agents?

Built-in agents are framework-level components that require deep integration with Cloudflare’s platform:
  • Durable Objects for stateful operations
  • Cloudflare AI for embeddings and inference
  • Vectorize for vector storage and search
Unlike starter kit agents which you own and can modify, built-in agents are maintained by the Conductor team and updated with framework releases.

  • Multi-step approval chains
