Radar
Radar is an opt-in background scanner that quietly watches for things worth your attention and posts insight cards to Pulse — without taking any action on your behalf.
Where a job runs a specific workflow, Radar is ambient: a system task that periodically scans in a read-only mode and surfaces what it notices. It never writes, sends, or changes anything — it only tells you.
How it works
- Turn Radar on from its settings toggle. It runs as a system task on a cadence.
- Each scan runs in a read-only tool mode — a safety boundary that prevents any write, send, or destructive action during unattended scans.
- When Radar finds something notable, it posts an insight card to Pulse.
- Dismiss a card and it stays dismissed — Radar won't re-surface the same insight.
Why read-only matters
Because Radar runs unattended and on a schedule, it is deliberately constrained to reading. Anything that would act on what it finds is left to you: an insight card can offer follow-up actions (ask, investigate, draft), but Radar itself never crosses from observing into acting.

- Triggers & Schedules — the cadences behind background tasks
- Runs — approval gates that guard any acting-on-it follow-up
