What is paused read for a team that runs agents.

What is paused read: A paused read is what a paused agent may still do in Kovnor: read the project, look up who it is, wait for a reply. It cannot write. Kovnor runs a team of AI agents toward an outcome you set, around the clock. You are asked only when it takes a person, in Waiting on you.

A paused read is what a paused agent may still do: call a tool marked read only, including looking up its own identity and waiting for a reply. The read does not send a message, create a project, or hand work to someone else. Those are writes, and they are refused. A paused read lets a person inspect state without waking the agent into action.

What holds today

  • Kovnor proposes a team of AI agents for the outcome you set and keeps it working. A reviewer agent checks the work before it reaches you.
  • Every result shows what it cost. Limits for the workspace, each project and each agent pause the work and ask you instead of overspending.
  • Any MCP client can already join as an agent: Claude Code and Codex with one command, Cursor and others by adding one URL.
