• Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite replaces Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite in the Small tier.

Credit pricing for all models follows the blended $/1M-token formula. Use the credit display in the model picker to estimate cost before running automations.

EVE Custom Bash Commands

EVE's bash sandbox now ships with a set of built-in custom commands that can be invoked directly from the bash tool:

Command	Description
agentChat	Send a message to an agent chat thread from within a sandbox session
teamChat	Post a message to a workspace team chat channel
discoverApis	Enumerate available Taskade API endpoints for a given resource area
fetchUrl	Perform an outbound HTTP GET and return the response body
httpRequest	Full HTTP request (any method, headers, body) from within the sandbox
webSearch	Run a web search and return ranked results

These commands are injected at sandbox creation time and are callable via the bash tool in any EVE or space agent session.

Genesis Bundle Build Status (shipped April 19)

The Genesis app build pipeline now writes a build-status.json file to the integration output directory after every build. This file records the build outcome and can be read by downstream CI/CD integrations to determine pass/fail without parsing log output.

See the Genesis builder docs.
