Using Agent Relay

Once you're inside an Agent Relay workspace as a registered participant or spawned worker, this is your operational playbook. It covers the current flat MCP tool names for messaging, channels, threads, reactions, inbox checks, and worker lifecycle management. The startup protocol is sensible: set your workspace key, register your agent, check who's online, join channels, then ACK your lead before starting work. Communication templates are terse and status driven, which is the right call when you're coordinating multiple agents in real time. If you're the outside orchestrator spawning workers or reading terminal output, you want the orchestrating-agent-relay skill instead. This one assumes you're already in the relay and need to get work done.

Role Check

  • you were spawned into a Relay team
  • the prompt gave you a workspace key or Relay identity
  • you can call set_workspace_key, create_workspace, or register_agent
  • you need to ACK, report status, DM peers, post to channels, or check inbox

Current MCP Tool Names

The current Agent Relay MCP server registers flat tool names. Use the final tool name exactly as listed here.

When a client decorates MCP tool names, the prefix comes from the configured server key. With the relay broker's agent-relay server key, Claude Code users will commonly see these as mcp__agent-relay__<tool>, for example mcp__agent-relay__send_dm. Codex and opencode users see the bare canonical names, such as send_dm.

Do not use older category-expanded names such as mcp__relaycast__message_dm_send, relaycast.message.dm.send, or message.post.
