Choose an agent

Choose an agent based on the outcome you need. Each agent has its own instructions, skills, resource requirements, and presets.

Agent	Use it for	Typical output	Important setup
Builder	Implementing scoped engineering changes	Pull request, branch, or text response	A source-control repository
Reliability	Investigating failures, tests, freshness issues, and incidents	Diagnosis and, when safe, a draft pull request	Repository and warehouse MCP are optional
Optimization	Warehouse cost, query performance, and dbt project health	Evidence-based report or draft pull request	Some workflows require a warehouse MCP
Custodian	Reviewing upstream pull requests for downstream impact	Source-control review and optional downstream remediation	Custodian GitHub access plus an upstream/downstream repository pair
Concierge	General request routing and guidance	Coming soon	Not yet available

If you send a direct message to the Sidecar Slack app, Sidecar chooses among the available agents. It uses Builder when it cannot classify the request confidently.

Agent Console tabs with four available agents and Concierge marked coming soon — Builder, Reliability, Optimization, and Custodian are available. Concierge is coming soon.
