Run a workflow

Run another workflow as part of this one. It runs inside the current turn with only the input you map, and hands back only what it declares in its Output.

Run a workflow is written as WorkflowCall in YAML. The example below is the first step of Momor Search’s Answer workflow.

Inputs

Operationsstring[]Required
Declared workflow operations to run. Several run side by side and return together.
Inputmapping
What each called workflow is started with, checked against the request schema of its trigger.
AttemptsintegerDefault 1
How many attempts the step may take.
OnExhaustedpolicy
What happens when the attempts run out.

Outputs

<output>any
What the called workflow declares in its Output, checked against it before it is returned.

Example

Operations:
  - Workflow:
    Name: Intent
    Locator: 85d12c16-c88a-47e5-94a9-28b16fa05436
    Trigger: Request

Steps:
  - WorkflowCall: Collect
    Operations: [Intent]
    Input:
      Prompt: { Field: Trigger.Prompt }
      Location: { Field: Trigger.Location }

A Workflow binding’s locator is the id of the workflow it calls. Trigger names which of its requests the call uses, and is needed only where it accepts more than one. A workflow can be bound only if it declares a Description, because that is how it is described to a model that calls it.

How the called workflow runs

  • Inside the turn. It opens no run and no turn of its own. Its steps are recorded in the calling run, under the calling step’s path.
  • Its own conversation. It sees only the input you map, not the caller’s conversation, and the caller sees only its output, not its model exchanges.
  • Pinned. It runs the version that was current when it started, even if a newer one is uploaded while it runs.
  • Its questions surface on the caller. A wait it raises pauses the calling turn and is answered on the calling run; the answer goes back to the workflow that asked.
  • Its own Budget is not applied. Its work counts against the calling turn’s budget instead. Its steps keep their own attempts and loop bounds.
A model can call a workflow tooList a workflow operation on a ModelCall and the model can call it like a tool, with the workflow’s request schema as the tool’s input. ExecuteModelToolCall runs those calls the same way.
