feat(sdk): add runAgent() to run app agents from logic functions (#21157)
<img width="948" height="593" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/d990fa98-3cfd-469d-ab7f-0b2d4ccf3afc" /> <img width="1361" height="802" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1091f598-49f3-4c16-92ea-1e1c200181e2" /> ## Add `runAgent()` to the Logic Function SDK Lets an app's logic function run one of its own AI agents server-side and get the result back synchronously — reusing the existing agent executor instead of a new bespoke transport. ### Backend - New **`runAgent` GraphQL mutation** (metadata schema) in `ai-agent-execution`, wrapping the existing `AgentAsyncExecutorService.executeAgent`. Scopes the agent lookup to the calling application and runs it under an application auth context. - New `@AuthApplication()` param decorator (mirrors `@AuthWorkspace()`) — first GraphQL resolver authenticated by an **application access token**. - Guarded by `WorkspaceAuthGuard` + `SettingsPermissionGuard(PermissionFlagType.AI)`: the app's role must grant the `AI` permission flag. ### SDK - `runAgent({ agentUniversalIdentifier, prompt })` posts the mutation to `/metadata` with the app token via a new runtime GraphQL transport. Returns `{ result, hasNoMoreAvailableCredits }`. - Refactored the connections helpers onto a shared `postAppEndpoint` util (removes duplicated transport logic). ### Frontend - App install permission modal now shows an explicit consent line — _"Run AI agents and bill AI credits to your workspace"_ — when the app's role requests the `AI` flag. ### Docs - Documented `runAgent` and its `AI` permission-flag requirement in _Skills & Agents_. - Fixed outdated role-permission examples in _Roles & Permissions_ (`permissionFlags` → `permissionFlagUniversalIdentifiers`, `PermissionFlag` → `SystemPermissionFlag`). ### Test plan - [x] SDK unit tests (`run-agent.spec.ts`) — request shape, GraphQL/HTTP error handling, missing env vars - [x] `twenty-server`, `twenty-front`, `twenty-shared` typecheck + lint - [ ] Manual: install an app granting the `AI` flag, call `runAgent()` from a logic function, confirm the agent runs and credits are billed --------- Co-authored-by: cubic-dev-ai[bot] <191113872+cubic-dev-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>

|

By default an agent returns free-form text. To get structured output, set `responseFormat` to `{ type: 'json' }` and provide a `schema`:
|

|

```ts src/agents/structured-agent.ts
|

import { defineAgent } from 'twenty-sdk/define';
|
||||
|

|

|

Schema notes:
|
||||
- The schema is a flat object: each property's `type` must be a primitive (`string`, `number`, or `boolean`). Nested objects and arrays are not supported.
|
||||
- `description` (optional) on each property guides the model on what to put there.

- `required` (optional) lists the properties the model must always return.

<Accordion title="runAgent" description="Run an agent from a logic function">
|
||||
|
||||
`runAgent()` lets a logic function run one of your app's agents (with its
|
||||
skills and tools). Identify the agent by the `universalIdentifier` you passed
|
||||
to `defineAgent()`:
|
||||
|
||||
```ts src/logic-functions/run-enricher.ts
|
||||
import { runAgent } from 'twenty-sdk/logic-function';
|
||||
|
||||
const { result, error, success } = await runAgent({
|
||||
agentUniversalIdentifier: 'b3c4d5e6-f7a8-9012-bcde-f34567890123',
|
||||
prompt: 'Enrich House Ad <recordId>: fill empty fields from its listing URL.',
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Key points:
|
||||
- The agent runs **synchronously** and can read/update records itself via its
|
||||
own tools — `runAgent()` resolves once the run completes.
|
||||
- An app can only run its own agents.
|
||||
- The app's [default role](/developers/extend/apps/config/roles) must grant the
|
||||
`AI` permission flag — add `SystemPermissionFlag.AI` to its
|
||||
`permissionFlagUniversalIdentifiers` (or set `canAccessAllTools: true`).
|
||||
Without it, `runAgent()` fails with a permission error.
|
||||
- Set a generous `timeoutSeconds` on the logic function — agent runs can take
|
||||
several seconds.
|
||||
- `success` is `true` and `result` is non-null when the run completes; on
|
||||
failure `success` is `false`, `result` is `null`, and `error` holds the
|
||||
reason (for example, when the workspace ran out of AI credits mid-run).
|
||||

||||
```ts src/roles/default-role.ts
|
||||
import { defineApplicationRole, SystemPermissionFlag } from 'twenty-sdk/define';

|
||||
// runAgent() requires the AI permission flag on the app's default role.

||||
});

```
|
||||
|
||||
<Warning>
|
||||
**Avoid loops:** if you call `runAgent()` from a `*.updated` database-event
|
||||
trigger and the agent updates the same record, scope the trigger with
|
||||
`updatedFields` to a field the agent never writes (e.g. the source URL), or
|
||||
guard on whether any target field is still empty before calling `runAgent()`.
