Summary

Ingested telemetry often names an agent the platform has no record of. This leaves users unable to view experiments for the agent, or run and view insights against the traces.

Until now the only routes into a new agent were integrating with fabric, handing off an integration prompt or uploading a directory, neither of which helps when the agent has already run and its traces are sitting in Intake. This adds a first tab to the new-agent modal that lists every distinct agent_name seen in ingested traces without a registered agent, and registers the one the user picks.

Changes

  • Add a Create from Imported traces tab to NewAgentModal, listing unregistered agent names from ingested traces and creating the selected one.
  • Add useTraceAgentNames, which dedupes agent_name across a page of traces and subtracts the agents that already exist.
  • Extend NewAgentTab with imported-traces and make it the tab the modal opens on.

Type of Change

  • Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor)
  • Code change with documentation updates
  • Documentation only
  • Contributor tooling or automation
  • CI, build, or test infrastructure

Quality Gates

  • Tests added or updated for changed behavior
  • Existing tests cover changed behavior — justification:
  • Tests not applicable — justification:
  • Documentation updated for user-visible behavior
  • Documentation not applicable — justification: Studio UI affordance; no documented surface describes the new-agent modal's tabs.

Verification

  • Pull request title follows the repository's Conventional Commit format
  • Every commit includes an appropriate Signed-off-by: trailer
  • uv run pre-commit run -a passes, or any blocked checks are identified below
  • Targeted tests pass, or tests are marked not applicable above
  • No secrets, API keys, or credentials are included

Targeted validation:

  • pnpm --filter nemo-studio-ui test — 355 files, 3519 tests passed (exit 0). Four new tests cover deduping names across traces, excluding already-registered agents, the all-registered empty state, and creating with an empty config.
  • pnpm --filter nemo-studio-ui typecheck, pnpm lint, pnpm format — clean. Typecheck required pnpm --filter @nemo/sdk gen:all-force first, as the generated SDK is built on demand and lacked the insights surface main has since added.
  • Manual end-to-end against a local platform: with 8 distinct agent names across 1000 traces and 4 already registered, the tab offered exactly the 5 unregistered ones; selecting one created the agent, routed to its detail page, and its existing traces attached. Test agent deleted afterwards.

Notes for reviewers

Three decisions worth a look, since the change had to settle them:

  • The created agent carries an empty config. CreateAgentRequest requires config and telemetry supplies nothing for it. An empty object is accepted and defaults to nat-workflow-v1; a minimal nemo-agents-spec-v1 stub is rejected for missing default_harness and harnesses. So the agent exists to give traces, evaluations, and insights something to attach to, and still needs a real config before it can be deployed or chatted with.
  • The name list is recent traces, not all time. Intake has no distinct-agent facet, so names are deduped from a single page at the API's 1000-trace ceiling. An agent appearing only in older traces will not be offered; a facet endpoint would be the durable fix.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added an Imported Traces tab to the New Agent dialog.
    • View agent names detected in imported traces, with duplicate and already-registered names excluded.
    • Select an agent name to create a new agent with an empty default configuration.
    • Added loading, empty, error, and submission states for the imported-traces workflow.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for trace-based agent discovery, filtering, selection, and creation.

Telemetry can name an agent the platform has no record of, and until now
the only ways to register one were to hand off an integration prompt or
upload a directory. Neither helps when the agent already ran and its
traces are sitting in Intake.

Add a first tab to the new-agent modal listing every distinct agent_name
found in ingested traces that is not registered yet, and register the one
the user picks.

The created agent carries an empty config. CreateAgentRequest requires
the field and telemetry supplies nothing to fill it with; the platform
defaults it to nat-workflow-v1, whereas a nemo-agents-spec-v1 stub is
rejected for a missing harness. The agent therefore exists to give its
traces, evaluations, and insights something to hang from, and still needs
a real config before it can be deployed.

Intake exposes no distinct-agent facet, so the names come from deduping
one page of traces at the API's 1000-trace ceiling, in summary mode since
payloads and rollups are never read. An agent appearing only in older
traces is not offered.

Large workspaces may offer already-registered names for creation, causing users to hit a conflict after selecting a trace-derived name. This should be fixed before merge.

Make the hook result readonly.

Mark both properties readonly. Expose names as readonly string[].

NVIDIA-NeMo nemo-platform useAgentsListAgents generated listAgents pagination

💡 Result:

In the context of the NVIDIA NeMo Platform, pagination for list-based operations—including potential agent-related listings—is handled consistently across the platform's API and SDK [1][2]. 1. API Pagination: The REST API endpoints for listing resources (such as workspaces or other platform entities) include a dedicated pagination object in the response body, which provides metadata such as the current page, page size, total pages, and total results [2]. Standard query parameters for these endpoints include page and page_size (typically defaulting to 100 with a maximum of 1000) [2]. 2. SDK Pagination: The NeMo Platform Python SDK simplifies pagination for developers by providing auto-paginating iterators [1]. When using list methods (e.g., client.jobs.list), the SDK automatically fetches successive pages as needed when iterating over the results [1]. For more granular control, the SDK also exposes methods such as.has_next_page,.next_page_info, and.get_next_page to manually traverse results [1]. 3. CLI and Agents: Agents on the NeMo Platform are managed primarily via the nemo agents command group [3]. While generic list commands in the platform CLI have been updated to default to table output [4], pagination-specific flags are generally handled by the underlying API request logic when listing entities [2][3]. 4. Implementation Note: The term useAgents often appears in third-party or open-source React/TypeScript hooks (e.g., using SWR or TanStack Query) [5][6][7], which are not part of the official NVIDIA NeMo Platform SDK but rather community-developed patterns for managing agent states in web interfaces. If you are developing against the official NVIDIA NeMo Platform, you should rely on the SDK's auto-paginating features [1] or the REST API's pagination parameters [2] rather than custom frontend hooks.

Fetch every registered agent before filtering trace names.

list_agents returns a paginated response, but this hook passes no page_size and checks only agentsResponse.data. If a registered agent is on a later page, line 44 can offer its name as new and the create request can conflict. Fetch all pages or request a sufficient page size, and add a later-page test.

Instead, you probably want to get Agents by name in a batch and just let the 404 signal that the agent name is not registered.
