Agent Playground

The Agent Playground is a built-in testing environment where developers, administrators, and partners can experiment with agents in real time.

It provides a safe, isolated space to validate schemas, debug tools, and refine interactions before rolling agents into production.


Why Use the Playground?

  • Test Invocations – Run sample payloads against your agent’s /invoke endpoint.
  • Validate Metadata – Ensure your ai-tools.json conforms to the Agent Blueprints.
  • Check Health – Verify that your /health endpoint responds correctly.
  • Preview User Experience – See how agents behave when surfaced inside the Orbit Platform (chat, dashboards, or tools).
  • Debug Quickly – View structured logs, responses, and errors in one place.

How It Works

  1. Select or Load an Agent

    • Choose a built-in, community, or locally running agent.
    • Upload or link its ai-tools.json.
  2. Send Test Payloads

    • Use JSON-based request builder.
    • Interact with tools, chat interfaces, or custom APIs.
  3. Inspect Responses

    • View raw JSON output.
    • Preview how responses render in Orbit Flow components (e.g., chart, table, metric).
  4. Iterate Quickly

    • Modify schema, metadata, or prompts.
    • Re-run tests until the agent behaves as expected.

Key Features

  • Schema Validation: Automatically checks tool definitions and input schemas.
  • Sandboxed Invocations: Calls are isolated from production environments.
  • Logging & Telemetry: Response times, payloads, and errors are captured.
  • Multi-Interface Support: Test both chat-based and tool-only agents.
  • Streaming Preview: See live token-by-token responses (if supported).

Accessing the Playground

  • Orbit Console → Navigate to Agent Services → Playground for development and testing.
  • Orbit Hosted → Playground available in your deployed platform for production testing.
  • CLI (Coming Soon)
  • API (Coming Soon)

Best Practices

  • Always validate ai-tools.json before submitting to the Marketplace.
  • Test with both random path and edge case inputs.
  • Use Playground logs to set initial rate limits and compliance flags.
  • Document common payloads as examples in your agent’s README.

Tip: The Playground is the fastest way to confirm your agent is blueprint-compliant and ready for Marketplace submission.
