App Control Plugin

The App Control plugin lets Eliza agents manage apps through conversation.

Overview

This plugin exposes app lifecycle management to agents, backed by the /api/apps endpoints. Agents can launch installed apps, close running ones, and list what is currently active — all through natural language commands instead of the dashboard UI.

Key capabilities:

• Launch apps — start an installed Eliza app by name.
• Close apps — stop a running app.
• List running apps — see which apps are currently active.
• Chat-driven control — manage the app lifecycle without leaving the conversation.

Configuration

No environment variables or configuration parameters are required. The plugin communicates with the Eliza API server directly.

Usage Examples

"Launch the dashboard app."

"What apps are currently running?"

"Close the monitoring app."
