Agents Overview

Last updated March 3, 2026

Build, deploy, and monitor autonomous agents with Cencori Agent Foundry.

Agents

Cencori Agent Foundry lets you connect any autonomous agent to your infrastructure. All agents include Shadow Mode protection and can be configured, monitored, and controlled from a single dashboard.

Cencori is not the agent — it's the brain. Your agent runs locally (or in the cloud), and Cencori provides model routing, billing, safety controls, and monitoring via a standard OpenAI-compatible API.

Available Blueprints

OpenClaw

The autonomous desktop operator. OpenClaw controls your mouse, keyboard, and browser to automate complex local tasks.

Best for: Desktop automation, file management, browser-based workflows.

Codetext
# Install
curl -sSL https://openclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
 
# Connect to Cencori
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://cencori.com/api/v1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=cake_your_key_here
# Optional: for multi-agent routing overrides
export CENCORI_AGENT_ID=your_agent_id
 
# Run
openclaw onboard

Capabilities:

  • Full desktop control (mouse, keyboard, screenshots)
  • File system access and management
  • Application interaction and automation

[!NOTE] CENCORI_AGENT_ID is optional. Cencori derives the agent from the API key by default.


n8n Workflow

Best for: Multi-agent collaboration, complex project execution.

Codetext
# Install
pip install crewai
 
# Connect to Cencori
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://cencori.com/api/v1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=cake_your_key_here

Capabilities:

  • Role-based agent assignment (Researcher, Writer, Reviewer, etc.)
  • Automatic task delegation and sequencing
  • Collaborative output synthesis

Python Sandbox

A secure, sandboxed environment for executing Python code generated by LLMs. Ideal for data analysis and visualization tasks.

Read full setup guide →

Best for: Data analysis, code execution, generating charts and reports.

Codetext
# Install
pip install openai
 
# Connect to Cencori
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://cencori.com/api/v1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=cake_your_key_here

Capabilities:

  • Isolated code execution with resource limits
  • Data analysis with pandas, numpy, matplotlib
  • Automatic visualization generation

Custom Agent

Build your own agent from scratch. Any tool that supports a custom OpenAI base URL works with Cencori out of the box.

Read full setup guide →

Best for: Specialized use cases, proprietary workflows, experimentation.

Codetext
# Connect any OpenAI-compatible agent to Cencori
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://cencori.com/api/v1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=cake_your_key_here
# Optional: force a specific agent when needed
export CENCORI_AGENT_ID=your_agent_id

Compatible with: OpenHands, Aider, Continue, LangChain, LlamaIndex, SillyTavern, and any tool that supports custom OpenAI endpoints.


Shadow Mode

All agents include Shadow Mode, a proactive safety layer that:

  1. Intercepts tool calls from the LLM before they execute.
  2. Inserts them as pending actions in the dashboard Live Feed.
  3. Waits for your approval before the agent proceeds.

Toggle Shadow Mode on or off from the agent's configuration page.

Configuration

From the Configuration tab you can:

  • Switch Models instantly (GPT-4o, Gemini 2.0 Flash, Claude 3.5, etc.)
  • Edit the System Prompt to refine the agent's behavior
  • Generate & Roll API Keys for secure authentication
  • Delete agents you no longer need
