Composio component error when flow is reloaded

[eastnbull]

Bug Description

Hello,

I have a multi-agent flow with several integrated tools. As the final step, I send an email using Composio’s Gmail integration, which works correctly when I follow the steps outlined in the documentation. However, when I close the flow and revisit it later to run it again, I encounter a component build error like this.

"Error Building Component
Error building Component EmailSendingAgent: Tools are required to run the agent."

Each time, I need to refresh Composio and reselect the necessary fields (app name, authentication status, and action to use- this last one is always reset btw) even though these were previously configured, before I can successfully run the flow.

Reproduction

Drag and drop a text input or Prompt with email body, email adress etc.
Drag and drop Composio Tool, configure it with key and set relevant fields
Drag and drop ToolCalling Agent and connect first two accordingly
Run the flow
Exit the flow
Come back to the flow and run again

Expected behavior

Everytime flow is revisited Composio component should not need to be refreshed.

Who can help?

The issue you're experiencing with the Composio component requiring reconfiguration each time you reload the flow is likely due to the loss of the API key configuration. The error message "Tools are required to run the agent" indicates that the Composio component needs a valid API key to build the toolset. When you reload the flow, the component may lose this configuration, which is necessary for initializing the ComposioToolSet ^[1].

To resolve this, ensure that the API key is correctly configured and saved in the component settings. You can also add the API key as a global variable to prevent losing the configuration upon reloading. This can be done by pasting your Composio API key in the Composio API Key field or adding it as a global variable. This approach ensures that the API key is retained across sessions, reducing the need for reconfiguration ^[2].

Additionally, make sure that the authentication status and other necessary fields are correctly updated and saved. This will help maintain the configuration across sessions.

@dosu I have tried all this already. My composio key is set in docker-compose file and set automatically in the flow.

If your Composio key is set in the docker-compose file and is automatically configured in the flow, but you're still encountering issues with the Composio component requiring reconfiguration, it might be related to how the configuration data is being loaded and applied. Here are a few things to consider:

1. Configuration Persistence: Ensure that the configuration persistence mechanism is functioning correctly. The functions responsible for saving and loading component configurations, such as saveFlowToDatabase and readFlowsFromDatabase, should be checked to ensure they are correctly handling the Composio component's settings ^[1].

2. Default Settings: Verify that the default settings for the Composio component are being applied correctly during initialization. The ComposioAPIComponent class should initialize with the correct default values and update dynamically based on the provided API key and other settings ^[2].

3. Logs and Error Messages: Check for any specific logs or error messages generated when the component fails to retain its configuration. These logs can provide insights into where the process might be failing.

4. Docker Configuration: Double-check the docker-compose file to ensure that the environment variables are correctly set and that there are no issues with the way the configuration is being passed to the application.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, it might be necessary to investigate further into the codebase or configuration files to identify any potential bugs or misconfigurations.

@dosu
Attaching my flow for further investigation as your explanations are not enough for me as I am accessing the code.

Email Multi Agent Final with Composio.json

To investigate the issue further, you can examine the flow configuration in the JSON file you provided. Here are some steps you can take:

1. Check API Key Configuration: Ensure that the API key for the Composio component is correctly set in the JSON file. Look for any discrepancies in how the API key is stored or referenced.

2. Component Initialization: Verify that the Composio component is initialized with the correct settings. Check if the necessary fields like app name, authentication status, and action are correctly configured and retained in the JSON.

3. Persistence Mechanism: Investigate how the flow configurations are saved and loaded. Ensure that the functions responsible for this process, such as saveFlowToDatabase and readFlowsFromDatabase, are correctly handling the Composio component's settings.

4. Environment Variables: Confirm that the environment variables are correctly applied to the component configurations upon flow reload. This includes checking the docker-compose setup and ensuring that the variables are correctly passed and recognized by the application.

5. Logs and Debugging: Enable detailed logging to capture any errors or warnings during the flow reload process. This can provide insights into where the configuration might be failing.

By examining these aspects, you can identify potential issues in the flow configuration or the persistence mechanism that might be causing the Composio component to lose its settings upon reload.
