Willy Agent Interaction

VerifiedSafe

Check the status of Willy AI agents on Willform Agent, send prompts for chat, and recover crashed or unresponsive agents. Useful for monitoring agent health, initiating conversations with the agent, and restarting agents after failures without manual intervention.

Interact with Willy AI agents on Willform Agent: check status, send prompts, invoke tools, and recover crashed agents.

Strengths

  • Comprehensive agent management (status, chat, recovery) through a unified interface.
  • Automatic namespace selection when only one exists, simplifying usage.
  • Operates via the MCP API for fine-grained agent interaction.
  • Handles common API errors with helpful user suggestions.

Limitations

  • Requires prior setup via /wf-setup and creation of a namespace.
  • Chat is only possible when the agent is in 'running' state.
  • Agent recovery has a 5-minute cooldown and only works for specific failure states.
When to use it

Use this skill to monitor, converse with, or restart your Willy agents within a given namespace.

When not to use it

Do not use if you have not yet configured your Willform account or created a namespace.

Security analysis

Safe
Quality score95/100

The skill uses only allowed tools (Bash, Read, AskUserQuestion) for API interactions via pre-defined scripts. It does not execute destructive commands, exfiltrate data, or bypass safety mechanisms. User prompts are properly escaped before being passed to the API. No security risks identified.

No concerns found

Examples

Check agent status
Check the status of my Willy agent in the current namespace.
Chat with agent

/wf-agent -- Willy Agent Interaction

Goal

Check Willy agent status, send prompts, invoke tools, and recover crashed agents on Willform Agent.

Language

After loading config, check WF_LANGUAGE (set by wf_load_config). Use English if en or empty, Korean if ko. If not set, ask the user to choose (English/한국어) and save to config.

Instructions

Step 1: Load API config

source "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/wf-api.sh" && wf_load_config

If this fails, tell the user to run /wf-setup first and stop.

Step 2: Resolve namespace

Agent operations require a namespaceId. List namespaces and resolve:

ns_response=$(wf_get "/api/namespaces")
  • If only one namespace exists, use it automatically
  • If multiple exist, ask the user to select one via AskUserQuestion
  • If none exist, tell the user to create one first (/wf-namespace)

Extract the id field from the selected namespace.

Step 3: Determine action

If an argument is provided ($ARGUMENTS):

  • status or no argument → show agent status
  • chat <prompt> → send a prompt to the agent
  • recover → attempt to recover a crashed agent

Otherwise, use AskUserQuestion:

  • Agent status — Check if Willy agent is running and healthy
  • Chat with agent — Send a prompt to Willy
  • Recover agent — Restart a crashed or unresponsive agent

Step 4: Execute action

All agent operations use wf_mcp (MCP JSON-RPC via /api/mcp, no REST equivalent):

Agent status

response=$(wf_mcp "agent_status" "{\"namespaceId\":\"${NAMESPACE_ID}\"}")

The response is a JSON string. Parse and display: status, systemNamespace, cpuCores, memoryGb, lastHealthCheck, errorMessage.

Chat with agent

Ask for the prompt (or use remaining arguments):

ESCAPED_MSG=$(echo "$PROMPT" | jq -Rs '.')
response=$(wf_mcp "agent_chat" "{\"namespaceId\":\"${NAMESPACE_ID}\",\"message\":${ESCAPED_MSG}}")

Display the agent's response text.

Note: Chat requires the agent to be in running state. If the API returns an error about agent not running, suggest recovery or checking status first.

Recover agent

response=$(wf_mcp "agent_recover" "{\"namespaceId\":\"${NAMESPACE_ID}\"}")

Recovery only works when agent status is failed, interrupted, or degraded. There is a 5-minute cooldown between recovery attempts.

After triggering recovery, poll agent status (max 60s) until it reaches running.

Step 5: Report result

Show the action result. For chat, display the agent's response. For status/recover, show current state.

Agent Status Reference:

| Status | Meaning | |--------|---------| | running | Agent is healthy and accepting requests | | starting | Agent is booting up | | failed | Agent crashed, needs recovery | | interrupted | Agent was interrupted, needs recovery | | degraded | Agent partially functional, recovery recommended | | not_provisioned | No agent exists for this namespace |

Error Handling

  • If API returns 401, suggest /wf-setup
  • If MCP response contains error, display the error message
  • If agent status is not_provisioned, note that the Willy agent has not been created for this namespace yet
  • If recovery returns 409 (cooldown), tell the user to wait and try again later
  • If chat returns 409 (not running), suggest checking status or recovering first
