The Architect
Create, manage, and monitor agents and workflows from the Architect dashboard.
The Architect
The Architect is the management dashboard for agents and workflows, available at /dashboard
in the Zaru client. From here you can browse, create, edit, and monitor everything running on
the AEGIS platform within your tenant.
Agent Management
Browsing Agents
The agent list shows all agents visible to your tenant. Use the search bar to filter by name or description. Scope filters let you narrow the list:
- My Agents — agents you created
- Shared — agents shared within your organization (Business and Enterprise tiers)
- Built-in — platform-provided agents deployed automatically
Each agent card shows the agent name, status (active, inactive, draft), and last execution time.
Agent Details
Click an agent to open its detail view:
- Manifest — the full agent definition including runtime, security policy, resource limits, and role assignments.
- Versions — a history of manifest versions. Each deployment creates a new version.
- Execution History — a chronological list of all executions for this agent with status, duration, and links to execution logs.
Creating Agents
Click New Agent to open the creation interface. Three authoring methods are available:
- Form Editor — a guided form for configuring the agent step by step. Fields include name, description, runtime, instructions, security policy, and resource limits.
- YAML Editor — a text editor for writing the
AgentManifestdirectly. Syntax validation runs as you type. - AI Generation — describe what you want the agent to do in plain English. Zaru generates the complete manifest, which you can review and edit before deploying.
Editing and Redeploying
Open an existing agent and click Edit to modify its manifest. Changes create a new version on deploy. The previous version remains in the version history.
Workflow Management
Browsing Workflows
The workflow list shows all workflows visible to your tenant. Use the search bar to filter by name or description.
Each workflow card shows the workflow name, state count, status, and last execution time.
Workflow Details
Click a workflow to open its detail view:
- Manifest — the full workflow definition including states, transitions, and agent assignments.
- FSM Visualization — a state machine diagram showing states, transitions, and terminal conditions.
- Versions — a history of workflow manifest versions.
- Execution History — a chronological list of executions with status, current state, and duration.
Creating Workflows
Click New Workflow to open the creation interface. The same three authoring methods are available as for agents — form editor, YAML editor, and AI generation.
Workflow manifests define a finite state machine: an initial state, one or more intermediate states with agent assignments, transition conditions, and terminal states.
Executing Workflows
From a workflow's detail view, click Execute. If the workflow defines an input schema, a parameter form appears for you to fill in before starting. Execution progress is streamed to the Glass Laboratory panel in real time.
Execution Logs
Every agent and workflow execution produces a log accessible from the execution history in the detail view. Logs include:
- Timestamped entries for each tool invocation and its output
- Iteration progress and validation feedback
- State transitions (for workflows)
- Final output or error details
Click any execution in the history list to open its full log.
