identity adds human-facing context to an agent’s system prompt. It influences how the model presents itself and approaches its stated responsibilities; it is not an automatic task router or scheduler configuration.
Fields
email does not configure SMTP and timezone does not alter mission schedules. Configure email credentials in the Vault, and define schedule times explicitly.
Structured responsibilities use area, description, and priority:
low, medium, high, or critical. It does not implement deterministic assignment. Use assignTo, teams, or orchestration logic when routing must be explicit.
When avatar is set, Agent API responses enrich identity with a read-only avatarUrl for the Files API. avatarUrl is response metadata, not an AgentIdentity configuration field.
Browser profiles
browserProfile belongs on the agent, outside identity:
.polpo/browser-profiles/{name}.tar.gz. Browser profiles can contain authenticated session data and must be treated as credentials.
