CircleCI for AI agents
Agents read CircleCI at once. Changes and sends are held for a person's approval by default.
About CircleCI
CircleCI is a continuous integration and delivery platform that automates build, test, and deployment pipelines for software development.
What an agent can do in CircleCI
Every CircleCI action is classed by the platform as a read, a change or a send. Reads run at once. Changes and sends are held for a person by default.
