How to Configure Message Processing
📝 Post-process
The message processing system applies post-processing to the agent's responses before they reach the user. Each processor in the chain can transform, enrich, or act on the outgoing message.

Citation Processor
Parses citations from LLM output and enriches messages with structured evidence metadata. This is the bridge between the agent's citation instructions and the frontend's citation rendering.

No additional configuration beyond enabled.
The citation processor works with four strategies (configured via citation_configuration — see Policies — Citations):
| Strategy | What it parses |
|---|---|
inline_url | [[N]](url "extract") patterns |
short_id | [[short_id]] references |
deferred | Nothing — matches text to search results post-hoc |
sup_numeric | <sup>N</sup> superscript markers |
The citation processor is typically enabled indirectly via citation_configuration. Setting a citation strategy automatically activates both the citation instruction source and the citation processor.
Scheduled Task Notification
Sends email notifications when a scheduled agent task completes.
