The agency env file is a single free-form file — env.md — stored in your Vault, one per agency. Think of it as the shared "everything my agents should always know" note: your brand facts, key pipeline names, support email, house rules, IDs, links — whatever you want your AI to have on hand. It is scoped to your agency only; no other agency can see it.
What goes in it
Anything you like — it's plain text / markdown, not a rigid format. Common uses:
- Brand facts (legal name, site, phone, support email).
- Key GHL pipelines / stages your agents should target.
- House rules ("never text before 9am", "always CC the office").
- Reference IDs, account numbers, and links your agents need.
Note: it is not encrypted secret storage — treat it like a shared note your agents can read, not a password vault. For real API keys and secrets use Settings → Integrations.
Where to create / edit it
Go to Settings → Env File. It's a simple text box: type your content and click Save env file. That creates (or updates) env.md in your vault. That's the easiest way to set it up.
Other ways to read & update it
- Floating assistant / War Room — just ask: "what's in my env file?" or "add X to my env file." The AI uses the
env_readandenv_writetools. - Any agent or team — they can call
env_readto load your context andenv_writeto update it, both in chat/runs and over their published MCP endpoint. - Claude Code / claude.ai (via MCP) — connect to an agent or team's MCP URL (from its Integrations tab).
env_readandenv_writeshow up as tools, so Claude Code can read your agency context and update it directly. - Files page —
env.mdis a normal vault file, so you can also open and edit it on the Files page.
The two tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
env_read | Returns the current env file content. If you haven't created one yet, it returns an empty result so the AI knows to offer to start one. |
env_write | Creates or updates the env file. It replaces the whole file, so to add to it the AI reads it first, appends, then writes the whole thing back. |
Isolation
The env file is strictly per-agency. Whichever surface reads or writes it, the agency is resolved on the server from your session (or the node's own agency for MCP) — never from the AI — so your env file is only ever your agency's, and is never visible to another tenant.
