Documentation

README

Butterbase Agents

A Butterbase agent is a declarative graph of LLM and tool nodes — not a free-running chat loop. The runtime traverses the graph, calls tools (builtin / MCP / function), and resolves the end node's output_template. State, rate limits, and budgets are enforced by the control plane.

When to use

  • The user wants to add a workflow that combines an LLM with tool calls (DB writes, storage reads, MCP servers, app functions).
  • The user wants to expose an agent endpoint to end users (visibility: public or authenticated).
  • Debugging a failing agent run (look at list_agent_runs, then get_agent_run).
  • Registering an external MCP server for the agent to use.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
