Orchestration & the mao CLI

Connect agents, notes, and portals

Create explicit canvas connections that give an agent access to a peer or context node.

Updated 1 min read

Canvas connections tell agents which other nodes they can discover. An edge grants access only to the node at its other end.

A note connected to a terminal on the canvas
A canvas connection links a terminal to the note it can access.

Connect two nodes

  1. Select an agent terminal.
  2. Choose Connect on its node bar.
  3. Choose the destination agent, note, or portal.
  4. To remove the edge, choose Disconnect on the node bar or in its menu.
  5. An Orchestrator can also connect named nodes with mao connect <from> <to>.
NoteConnect only the context the agent needs. A wire does not expose unrelated canvas content.
