Feature flags

A feature flag turns one Kortix surface on for one project. Any surface can ship behind a flag — experimental, beta, or fully stable. "Experimental" is a stability badge on a flag, not the name of the system.

Flags are per project. Turning a flag on in one project changes nothing in another project, and nothing for other accounts.

Turn a flag on

1. Open Settings → Experimental. The tab lists every flag the platform supports.
2. Read the row: the flag name, its stability badge, one sentence of description, and its origin — Default on, Default off, or Overridden for this project.
3. Use the switch. The change applies to the current project immediately.

You need the project's project.customize.write permission. The route answers 403 for any other caller.

The two gates

Each flag has two gates. They answer different questions.

enabled is the project's explicit choice over the platform default, then AND-gated by available. enabled therefore always implies available.

available is an operator decision, made by the environment the API runs in. Three flags read it from configuration; every other flag is always available:

Stability badges

The badge describes the contract, not the switch. A stable flag is still an opt-in: apps is stable and still off by default.

How a flag is enforced

Every flag declares one enforcement mode.

A routes rejection is identical everywhere:

{
  "error": "Apps is not enabled for this project. Enable it in Settings → Feature flags.",
  "code": "feature_disabled",
  "feature": "apps"
}

The error string names the flag list, not a specific tab. The list is the Experimental tab of Settings.

Branch on code, never on the message text. The SDK exports isFeatureDisabledError(error) and featureDisabledKey(error) for exactly this.

Every flag

Registry order — the same order Settings → Experimental shows.

llm_gateway reads its per-project default from LLM_GATEWAY_DEFAULT_ENABLED. An explicit project choice still wins.

What each flag gates

• marketplace — browse and install skills from community and vendor registries.
• agent_tunnel — let agents reach a local machine over a permissioned reverse tunnel. See Computer Tunnel.
• connectors_api_discover — browse direct API, MCP, GraphQL, CLI, and Postman surfaces beside Pipedream OAuth apps. See Connectors.
• agentmail_email — assign AgentMail inbox connections so inbound email starts and continues sessions.
• teams — connect a Microsoft Teams bot so chats and channels start and continue sessions. See Slack & channels.
• voice — give the agent a live voice call it can start and hold. See Slack & channels.
• llm_gateway — route the project through the managed Kortix LLM gateway. See Models.
• review_center — one inbox for change requests, approvals, and agent output.
• meta_agent — add a platform-owned coordinator agent that spawns and manages specialized sessions.
• apps — deploy static sites, bundles, Dockerfiles, and OCI images to stable serverless URLs. See Apps.
• monitors — run 24/7 watchers from your repo that fire trigger events into sessions. See Triggers.
• network_boundary_shim — use network-boundary secrets on a project that does not run on Platinum. See Secrets.
• warm_sessions — keep one sandbox booted while a project is open, so a new session starts without a cold boot.

Side effects of a toggle

Some flags converge platform state after the write commits.

Effects are convergence work, not part of the toggle's success. The API response does not wait for them. Each effect is retried once, and the reconcilers behind it are idempotent and re-run on their periodic sweeps.

Read and set a flag from code

Read the effective per-project state through the project detail, or through the React hook:

import { useFeatureFlag } from '@kortix/sdk/react';

function AppsNavItem({ projectId }: { projectId: string }) {
  const apps = useFeatureFlag(projectId, 'apps');
  if (!apps.enabled) return null;
  return <Link href={`/projects/${projectId}/apps`}>Apps</Link>;
}

enabled is true only when the server said exactly true. A missing project id, an in-flight query, and an error all resolve to false. Gate fail-closed.

Set the project override with the client:

const p = kortix.project(projectId);

await p.updateFeatureFlag('apps', true);   // turn it on for this project
await p.updateFeatureFlag('apps', null);   // clear the override, inherit the default

updateFeatureFlag calls PATCH /v1/projects/:id/features. feature is one of FEATURE_FLAG_KEYS, exported from @kortix/sdk and typed as FeatureFlagKey. See SDK reference.

Handle a disabled feature by code, not by message:

import { featureDisabledKey, isFeatureDisabledError } from '@kortix/sdk';

try {
  await kortix.project(projectId).apps.list();
} catch (error) {
  if (isFeatureDisabledError(error)) {
    console.log(`${featureDisabledKey(error)} is off for this project`);
  }
}
