What the step does. api, function, integration and mcp are Tool steps. playbook and operator are Agent steps. goToBlock jumps to a block or a workflow start and ends the path. callForward transfers a phone call and ends the path. legacy is a step these operations show but cannot change.
Available options:
message, end, set, workflow, listen, condition, buttons, card, carousel, code, api, function, integration, mcp, playbook, operator, crew, handoff, legacy, goToBlock, callForwardHow the step leaves. sequential: it continues to the step below it, or through next when it is last. branch: it leaves through one of its links, so it must be last. async-branch: a Card or Carousel, whose linked buttons run from any position. terminal: it ends the path.
Available options:
sequential, branch, async-branch, terminalThe step's settings, shaped by its kind. A step these operations cannot show reads as readOnly.

Plain text; markdown is not interpreted. {variable_name} inserts a variable or entity, {variable_name.path} a field of a variable. Escape a literal { or \ with a backslash. A name matching neither is stored as literal text and reported in unresolvedReferences; secrets are not available here.

unknown: no variable or entity of that name. secret-not-allowed: the name is a project secret and this field does not accept one. path-on-non-variable: only a variable has fields. resource-id: a bare resource id, not a name. invalid-name: outside the ^\w{1,64}$ name grammar. dangling: the reference rendered as a bare id, because its row is gone or its name is outside the name grammar.
