Agent Composer Overview

Description

Agent Composer is a framework that allows you to compose custom query path implementations using pre-made building blocks. By combining primitives such as search tools, third-party API/MCP tools, and various LLMs, you can construct arbitrary computational graphs and configure them to build specialized agents.

Template agents (Basic Search and Agentic Search) are available for self-serve users. Full Agent Composer capabilities—including the visual workflow builder for custom workflows, YAML customization, and the prompt-based workflow generator—are available in public preview for enterprise users.

Two Ways to Build

The framework offers two ways to construct workflows:

YAML Configuration: Specify a YAML with a specific format describing the graph and its configuration. Enter this YAML in the “Agent Composer” tab during agent creation.
Visual Workflow Builder: Use the visual frontend builder, which internally translates to YAML.

Key Concepts

Concept	Description
Nodes	Basic operations in the graph (search, generate, transform, etc.)
Input Mapping	How nodes connect to each other using `source_node#output_key` syntax
Config	Configuration parameters passed to step constructors
Subgraphs	Reusable components that can be referenced in larger workflows
Conditional Nodes	Execute different paths based on runtime conditions
UI Stream Types	Control what data streams to the UI during execution

Example: Minimal Agent

version: 0.1
inputs:
  query: str

outputs:
  response: str

nodes:
  search:
    type: SearchUnstructuredDataStep
    input_mapping:
      query: __inputs__#query

  generate:
    type: ResponseGenerationStep
    input_mapping:
      query: __inputs__#query
      retrievals: search#retrievals

  __outputs__:
    type: output
    input_mapping:
      response: generate#response

This minimal example:

Accepts a query string as input
Searches the datastore for relevant documents
Generates a response based on the query and retrieved documents
Returns the response as output
