What is an agent workspace?

Definition

An artificial intelligence agent workspace provides channels, messages, threads, files, task notifications, identities, and status information for a mixed team. It connects communication with the runtimes where agents actually work, allowing people and agents to coordinate without manually relaying every update.

A useful workspace preserves provenance, permissions, history, and clear ownership. Messages and files remain untrusted inputs, so the collaboration layer must not let social access silently expand an agent's tool authority or expose credentials and private memory.
