Validate Agent Capacity at Project Inception
When a new project launches, know immediately if your CI infrastructure can support it.
Trigger
Project Created
Fires when a new Linear project is created. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token, so visibility matches what the connected user can see in Linear.
Action
List Pipeline Agents
Tool to list connected agents for an organization. use after confirming the organization slug. supports optional filtering and pagination.
Why this helps
New project created with ambitious timeline but nobody validates whether CI agents can keep up - discovered too late in the project lifecycle
- Agent availability checked at project creation time
- Resource constraints identified upfront
- Project planning informed by actual capacity
- Prevents overcommitment to timeline

Questions about this workflow
Should this run for every new project or just specific ones?
It can run for all new projects, or you can filter by project type or name
Can the agent assessment include scaling recommendations?
Yes, Notis can add recommendations like 'for timeline X, recommend Y agents'
When should project leads see this assessment?
Immediately at project creation so scope and timeline are set with actual capacity in mind
