IDE Environment

IDE Settings

The IDE provides a centralized configuration panel for managing global settings and API credentials required by agents.

Global Configuration

interface IDEConfig {
    llmApiKey: string;
    environment: 'development' | 'production';
    logging: boolean;
}

Key Features

• Centralized API key management

• Environment configuration

• Real-time status monitoring

• Secure credential storage

Workstation

The Workstation serves as the primary development environment for creating and managing agent workflows.

2. Drag to desired position in Workstation

3. Release to place node

Node Connections

Connect nodes using handle endpoints:

• Green Handle: Compatible connection

• Red Handle: Incompatible connection

interface NodeConnection {
    sourceId: string;
    targetId: string;
    type: 'data' | 'control';
    status: 'active' | 'inactive';
}
