Agent
Jalaran Agent is a reason-and-act runner that works through a multi-step goal using read-only tools across your workspace, showing every step it took to get there.
Who Agent is for
For questions that need several lookups and a bit of arithmetic before there is an answer — the kind you would otherwise do by hand across four tabs. It is also for anyone who has been burned by a confident AI answer and wants to see the working before believing it.
What Agent does
Agent runs a reason-and-act loop: it thinks about the goal, chooses a tool, reads the result, and decides what to do next, repeating until it has an answer. It has six tools, all of them read-only — it can search your vault, read documents, query data, do calculations and produce text, and it cannot modify a single row anywhere in Jalaran. Each step streams to the interface as it completes, so you watch the reasoning unfold rather than receiving a conclusion with no provenance.
- Reason-and-act loop over your own workspace data
- Six read-only tools — nothing in Jalaran is modified
- Every step streamed live with its thought and observation
- Runs on self-hosted inference, not a third-party agent platform
How Agent works
State the goal
A goal rather than a prompt — something with several parts that needs looking things up to answer.
Watch it plan
Each cycle shows the thought, the tool it chose, and what that tool returned. Steps stream in live.
Check the tools it used
Every tool is read-only: vault search, document reading, data queries, calculation and text generation. None of them writes.
Keep or discard the result
Generated text is returned to you, never auto-saved into a note or a document.
What Agent does not do
Agent cannot write anything. It will not create notes, edit tasks, send messages, touch the filesystem or fetch a URL — the read-only constraint is enforced in the tools themselves rather than requested in a prompt, which is the difference between a safety property and a hopeful instruction. It has no internet access. Tool observations are truncated to keep the reasoning loop tractable, so it is a research assistant over your own data, not an autonomous operator.
Common questions
Can Agent change or delete my data?
No. All six of its tools are read-only by construction — no filesystem access, no URL fetching, and no write path to any Jalaran table. Even the text it generates is returned to you rather than saved anywhere.
Can it browse the web?
No. Agent works over your own workspace data only. There is no URL-fetch tool, which is also why it cannot be steered into retrieving something from an untrusted page.
Why does it show me every step?
Because a multi-step answer without provenance is unverifiable. Seeing which tool was called and what it returned is what lets you tell a sound conclusion from a confident guess.
