Keep agents current - Within MCP

A released agent depends on process assumptions, source material, tool contracts, and controls that can change. Maintenance starts by recording those dependencies when the agent ships, then checking them on a defined schedule or after a known process change.

Record the baseline

Keep the following with the agent’s code and evaluations:

the process resource key and version used for the build
the observation set or evidence summary used to justify behavior
the policies, dependencies, tools, and model configuration the agent relies on
the evaluation set and release result
the owner and next review date

This gives the next review a known comparison point. The Within MCP supplies the current process evidence; your repository or AI client stores the prior baseline and performs the comparison.

Review current evidence

Start with the recent workspace change feed, then retrieve the current details for processes used by the agent.

get_recent_process_changes({ "limit": 50 })

get_process_details({
  "process_resource_key": "<PROCESS_RESOURCE_KEY>",
  "scope": ["tasks", "dependencies", "policies", "history"]
})

get_recent_process_changes returns a bounded feed of recent changes. It does not accept a date cutoff, so do not treat it as proof that nothing changed before the returned window. Use the saved resource keys and versions to check each process the agent depends on. Where behavior matters, review current observations as well. Captured activity can show that the documented process stayed the same while execution, exceptions, or systems changed.

Classify the change

Not every difference requires the same response.

Change	Example	Response
Presentation	A field or step was renamed without changing its meaning	Update references and rerun affected evaluations
Behavioral	A rule, exception, input, or handoff changed	Revise the build and rerun the full evaluation set
Structural	The objective, owner, system boundary, or required approval changed	Return to use-case selection and design before rebuilding

The classification is a review decision, not an MCP verdict. Confirm material changes with the process owner before changing production behavior.

Ask for a maintenance review

Compare this agent's saved process baseline with the current Company Brain.
List the changes, classify each as presentation, behavioral, or structural,
and identify the evaluations that must run again. Do not modify the agent until
I approve the proposed response.

Use a recurring cadence

Run Companion often enough to cover the process and exceptions the agent depends on. A maintenance review is only as current as the underlying capture and published process version. After an approved update, save the new baseline, run the required evaluations, and record the release result. Keep the previous version available for rollback according to your deployment controls.

Process observations documents the change feed, observation summaries, and activity timelines used in this review.
