01 / 04
Internal ops and product agents
Kimi positions the service for two patterns: agents wired into internal systems for monitoring and operations response, and agents embedded in customer-facing products for research or customer service[1]. Isolated sandboxes, network access controls, configurable boundaries, interruptible sessions and audit export are meant to keep those runs controllable and reviewable[1][2].
02 / 04
Skills, plugins and finance templates
Hosted Agents ships more than 140 Skills and 30-plus plugins spanning web retrieval, professional data, documents and content generation, with room for custom tools and data sources[1]. Official templates include eight finance workflows covering research modelling, deep research, morning briefs, IPO tracking and portfolio monitoring that teams can copy into their own project space[1][2].
03 / 04
Security and pricing
Enterprises can pair Hosted Agents with Kimi Inference Hook so pre-inference checks inspect task inputs and tool returns against company rules before the model runs, currently for enterprise-verified users[1]. Pricing combines sandbox runtime at ¥0.072 per hour with model token rates and plugin call charges[2][3].

Why it matters
Most of the cost of production agents is still harness work: sandboxes, sessions, tools, recovery and audit. By selling that layer as a managed service with finance-ready templates and an optional Inference Hook, Kimi is trying to shorten the path from prototype to a supervised, long-running agent inside the enterprise stack[1][2].
