Presets, accounts & roles

Configure agent launch presets

Choose a built-in agent, shell, or custom command and adjust how its node launches.

Updated 1 min read

A launch preset chooses the program MAO starts in a terminal node. You can change the preset or its options later without replacing the node.

New agent dialog with Shell selected and provider presets listed
The new-agent dialog offers provider presets, Shell, and a custom command.

Set up a terminal or agent

  1. Choose New terminal or agent, or press Ctrl + T on Windows/Linux or Cmd + T on macOS.
  2. Choose Shell, a listed provider, or Custom.
  3. Complete the setup sheet and place the node on the canvas.
  4. To change a running node, choose Configure on its node bar or Change preset in its menu.
  5. Edit the name, model, account, role, Orchestrator setting, or Launch options, then save.
NoteChanging a preset restarts the terminal process while keeping the node identity and bridge credentials.
LimitMAO starts a program with an explicit command and arguments in the project root. Custom commands are not run through a shell. MAO passes provider flags but does not edit provider configuration; reserved arguments are rejected.
