Agent Registry workspace catalog showing search, filters, and agent cards

What the Agent Registry is

The Agent Registry is your workspace catalog of Agent Cards—registered metadata and hosted endpoints for agent graphs you expose over the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol. Each registry entry ties a published agent graph build to skills, discoverability tags, visibility, and a hosted A2A URL that external systems and other agents can call. Use Agent Registry when you want to:
  • Publish an agent graph as a callable A2A service (not only run it inside a single assistant).
  • Discover agents across your organisation—or, when visibility is public, from compatible clients with a valid API key.
  • Compose multi-agent workflows by attaching registry agents to a master agent node in Browse or Discovery mode.

Access and environment

Agent Registry sidebar entry, Configure Agent in Graph Studio, and related expose flows are available when the app runs in a local or dev environment (NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_ENV is local or dev, or NODE_ENV is development). Production rollout may differ—confirm with your administrator.
Sidebar permission: workspace.sidebar.agent_registry (legacy alias workspace.sidebar:agent_registry). Routes:
  • Workspace catalog: /{organisation}/workspace/{workspaceId}/agent-registry
  • Project Agent Cards (builds): /{organisation}/workspace/{workspaceId}/projects/{projectId}/agent-cards
  • Graph Studio (expose entry): .../projects/{projectId}/studio

Terminology

Phinite maps industry A2A vocabulary to product labels as follows:
Industry / A2A termPhinite UI / APIMeaning
Agent CardAgent Card (wizard step 3)Public identity: name, description, skills, tags, visibility
Agent RegistryAgent Registry sidebarWorkspace catalog of registered A2A agents
A2A endpoint / Hosted agent URL/api/v1/ai/a2a/{flowId} or .../{registryId}Callable agent over the A2A protocol
SkillsSkills in wizardCallable capabilities with input/output MIME modes
Discoverability tagsDiscoverability TagsMetadata for search and Discovery filters
Deployment statusTest / Live badgestest = validation build; live = production (one live per flow per workspace)
VisibilityPublic / Organisationpublic = any A2A client with a valid API key; organization = same organisation only
Browse modeBrowse tab on agent nodeMaster agent calls a specific registry agent
Discovery modeDiscovery tab on agent nodeMaster agent auto-selects agents matching saved filters at runtime
Some canvas labels still say Agent Block (for example in the browse panel); documentation uses Agent Node as the preferred term. See the Agent Registry glossary for MIME modes and API field names.
