Mission Control Agent Skill

Mission Control (MC) is an AI agent orchestration dashboard with real-time SSE/WebSocket, a skill registry, framework adapters, and RBAC. This skill teaches agents how to interact with MC APIs programmatically.

Quick Start

Base URL: http://localhost:3000 (default Next.js dev) or your deployed host.

Auth header: x-api-key: <your-api-key>

Register + heartbeat in two calls:

# 1. Register
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/adapters \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-key: $MC_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "framework": "generic",
    "action": "register",
    "payload": { "agentId": "my-agent-01", "name": "My Agent" }
  }'

# 2. Heartbeat (repeat every 5 minutes)
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/adapters \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-key: $MC_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "framework": "generic",
    "action": "heartbeat",
    "payload": { "agentId": "my-agent-01", "status": "online" }
  }'

Authentication

MC supports two auth methods:

Method	Header	Use Case
API Key	x-api-key: <key> or Authorization: Bearer <key>	Agents, scripts, CI/CD
Session cookie	Cookie: __Host-mc-session=<token> (HTTPS) or mc-session=<token> (HTTP)	Browser UI

Roles (hierarchical): viewer < operator < admin

• viewer — Read-only access (GET endpoints)
• operator — Create/update agents, tasks, skills, use adapters
• admin — Full access including user management

API key auth grants admin role by default. The key is set via API_KEY env var or the security.api_key DB setting.

Agents can identify themselves with the optional X-Agent-Name header for attribution in audit logs.

Agent Lifecycle

register → heartbeat (5m interval) → fetch assignments → report task status → disconnect

All lifecycle actions go through the adapter protocol (POST /api/adapters).

1. Register

{
  "framework": "generic",
  "action": "register",
  "payload": {
    "agentId": "my-agent-01",
    "name": "My Agent",
    "metadata": { "version": "1.0", "capabilities": ["code", "review"] }
  }
}

2. Heartbeat

Send every ~5 minutes to stay marked as online.

{
  "framework": "generic",
  "action": "heartbeat",
  "payload": {
    "agentId": "my-agent-01",
    "status": "online",
    "metrics": { "tasks_completed": 5, "uptime_seconds": 3600 }
  }
}

3. Fetch Assignments
