 | `inputs` | Optional typed input schema for one run — the same vocabulary as workflow inputs (`text`, `number`, `file`, `member`, `record_link`, `select`, …). The server validates every run payload against it. **Every field defaults to `required: true`**, exactly as `outputs` does — the two extend the same base — so an input the caller may legitimately omit needs `"required": false`, or the run is rejected before the agent sees it |
 | `outputs` | Optional typed output schema — the declaration vocabulary, including the two ways a `select` names its option set, is [mutations](./mutations.md#structured-results-return-data). Declared → **structured agent** (the run must emit a matching result); omitted → **free-text agent** (the answer is the final prose). **Every field defaults to `required: true`** (the same base schema as `inputs` above) — mark `"required": false` on anything the source may legitimately not carry. It matters most for `number`, which has no blank: text can answer `""`, but a required number leaves only a wrong value or a rejected submission |
+| `writes` | Optional — where the result lands: `{ table_id, row, fields }`. `row` is a single `record_link` input to `table_id`; `fields` maps each output to a field key of that table. Once a run's result validates, each output it carries is written to that row under the app's authority, with the table's locks and hooks applied; an output the result omits is left alone. A write that fails fails the run. Requires `outputs` |
 
 **Structured vs free-text is the load-bearing split.** A structured agent's result arrives in `run.output` (the server strictly validates the submitted result against the declared schema — see the `output` typing section for the exact guarantee); a free-text agent's answer is the transcript's prose (`run.text`) and its `output` stays `undefined` — never a stray string, so a consumer reading `output.<field>` can't crash on a free-text answer.
