> Info: process 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
You want to run a local script as an agent. You already have a custom command-line workflow. You want Paperclip to inject company context into a process and collect its output.
When Not To Use
The runtime is a long-lived service or remote webhook. Use HTTP (/docs/adapters/http) instead. You need built-in session persistence or a vendor-specific CLI integration. Use one of the local adapters instead. You need a richer transcript parser than plain stdout/stderr capture.
