Changelog
LOPs went from ~50 operators to 87. The architecture got reworked under the hood — SideCar runs ML in subprocesses, tools have per-operator toggles, and there are whole new categories of things you can build now including state machines, MCP servers, and native Claude Code integration.
Agent Tools
The tool system got a ground-up overhaul. Tool DAT now tracks read state so agents know what they’ve already seen. Tool Parameter gives agents deeper access to TD parameters. There’s a new Tool Manager for coordinating which tools are available, Tool Request for structured HTTP tool calls, and Tool VFS for sandboxed agent file operations. Every operator’s GetTool() now supports individual enable toggles and presets.
SideCar Architecture
The SideCar got completely rewritten. All torch operations now run in a subprocess — RAG indexing, OCR, Florence vision, embeddings — keeping your TD UI responsive no matter what ML workloads are running.
MCP Support
MCP Client and MCP Server were already in LOPs, but 0.2.0 adds MCP Config — a tiered configuration system for managing server connections, tool permissions, and routing at project, folder, and user levels.
Settings & Updates
Settings UI gives you centralized configuration accessible from the op create dialog. Tox Updater lets operators self-update from the LOPs registry via your Patreon credentials. Python Manager now supports UV as a backend for faster, more reliable venv management.
The Flow System
LOPs now has a built-in state machine. Flow Controller lets you define steps, wire transitions, and set conditions — all through the parameter panel. Flow Action triggers step changes from CHOP events, Flow Trigger watches channels for edge-based firing, and Flow State tracks the full audit trail with Mermaid flowchart export. Build a pipeline where STT triggers search, search feeds RAG, RAG passes to an agent, and the agent routes to TTS — as a readable state graph in your network.
