Agno's OSManager now connects the OS Manager team itself to the Agno documentation MCP server at https://docs.agno.com/mcp, sharing the connection its Platform Manager member already had. OS Manager is the team you talk to through AgentOS to check activity, run diagnostics, run components and have its members build new ones.
Say you ask the manager "How does learning work?" In earlier releases the lead team had no docs tools, so it handed the question to Platform Manager, and a one-paragraph explanation could grow into a review of your deployment. Now the lead runs a focused docs query and answers. When it does delegate, its prompt keeps the task as narrow as your request and asks the specialist for a concise answer.
We built the default manager on both releases and listed the lead team's tools. No model call is needed for this:
# real output, tools on the OS Manager lead team
# Before
['StudioRunnerTools']
# Now
['MCPTools(https://docs.agno.com/mcp)', 'StudioRunnerTools']The release's own test drives the same question with a scripted stand-in model, and the run finishes with one search_docs call and no member runs. access_docs still defaults to True and now covers both agents. Pass access_docs=False to switch the docs off for an offline deployment.
See the cookbook, and learn more about AgentOS in the documentation.
Frequently asked questions
OS Manager is a team you talk to through AgentOS. It checks activity, runs diagnostics, runs existing components and asks its members, Platform Manager and Platform Builder, to build new ones. You add it with AgentOS(manager=OSManager(model=...)).
access_docs connects OS Manager and Platform Manager to the Agno documentation MCP server at https://docs.agno.com/mcp through one shared connection. It defaults to True. Pass False for an offline deployment; a failed connection is nonfatal either way.
Yes, for work that needs Platform Manager's tools, such as usage, runs, schedules, diagnostics and reading source code. Its prompt tells it to pass along the specific question, ask for a concise answer and leave out diagnostics, eval history or component inventory nobody asked for.
