HTTP

HTTP

The http adapter sends a JSON webhook request to a service you control. Use it when the runtime is remote, long-lived, or already exposed as an API instead of a local command.

> Info: http is a built-in internal adapter used by Paperclip's runtime. It's currently shown as "Coming soon" in the agent-config adapter-type dropdown and can't be selected manually. To target it today, configure the agent via the API or an imported company export.

When To Use

The agent runs in the cloud or behind another service. You want Paperclip to trigger a webhook and let the remote service do the rest. The runtime already expects a JSON body and returns a simple success or failure response.

When Not To Use

The runtime is just a local script or command. Use Process (/docs/adapters/process). You need session persistence or built-in CLI behavior. Use one of the local adapters instead. You need Paperclip to parse a rich stdout transcript from the remote runtime.
