Integrate Fusion Agent

Integrate Atlas / EOS Sidebar

Default AI path: the platform Atlas sidebar (EOS / Fusion PAIA) via @cognite/app-sdk. Do not embed useAtlasChat, vendor atlas-agent, or call third-party LLM APIs.

integrate-atlas-chat only if the user explicitly requires in-app chat and connectToHostApp cannot provide the sidebar (standalone app; always rejects). There is no manifest field for this.

Implement only what is needed:

1. Open — Topbar Atlas button; sendAgentLayoutMode for in-app triggers
2. Message — sendAgentMessage to inject context
3. Server — resources (app state) and actions (tools)

Step 0 — Read the app

• package.json — package manager, @cognite/app-sdk
• src/App.tsx — structure, existing SDK usage

Ask which of the three capabilities are needed. Do not offer an in-app chat unless they already insisted.

Step 1 — Install

pnpm add @cognite/app-sdk (or npm/yarn). Minimum 0.3.1.

Step 2 — Connect to the host

connectToHostApp rejects outside Fusion (standalone vite dev). Catch that; hide agent triggers when api is null.

Comlink proxies are callable — setApi(proxy) makes React treat the proxy as an updater and stores a Promise. Always setApi(() => resolvedApi).

// src/hooks/useHostApp.ts
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { connectToHostApp, type HostAppAPI } from '@cognite/app-sdk';

export function useHostApp(): HostAppAPI | null {
  const [api, setApi] = useState<HostAppAPI | null>(null);

  useEffect(() => {
    connectToHostApp({ applicationName: 'my-app' })
      .then(({ api: resolvedApi }) => setApi(() => resolvedApi))
      .catch(() => { /* outside Fusion — no-op */ });
  }, []);

  return api;
}

Call at the root; pass api down or via context. typeof proxy.method === 'function' is always true — do not feature-detect with typeof; use try/catch.

Step 3 — Open the sidebar

Primary launcher: Aura Topbar Atlas (systemActions.atlas.visible: true, see use-topbar). No second "Open Assistant" control.

sendAgentLayoutMode is for contextual triggers only (sidebar | fullscreen | closed):

await api.sendAgentLayoutMode({ mode: 'sidebar' });

Step 4 — Send a message

Pair with sendAgentLayoutMode. newSession: true for a new task from an item; omit to continue the thread. Put names/IDs/state in the message — one sidebar turn, not N completions over query rows.

await api.sendAgentLayoutMode({ mode: 'sidebar' });
await api.sendAgentMessage({
  message: `Analyse the schedule for "${itemName}" and suggest how to reduce total duration.`,
  newSession: true,
});

Step 5 — Agent server

Register on mount, unregister on unmount. Factories take services as args so they can be unit-tested without React:

src/features/agent/
  agentActions.ts     — (deps) => Action[]
  agentResources.ts   — (deps) => Resource[]
  useAgentServer.ts   — register / unregister

Resource read() returns { type: 'json', data } (preferred) or { type: 'text', text }. Write description like a docstring.

// src/features/agent/agentResources.ts
import { createAgentResource } from '@cognite/app-sdk';

export function buildAgentResources(storage: StorageService) {
  return [
    createAgentResource({
      uri: 'my-app://current-state',
      name: 'Current application state',
      description:
        'Items currently visible, their statuses, and active filters. Read before answering questions about what the user is looking at.',
      async read() {
        return [{ type: 'json', data: storage.getAll() }];
      },
    }),
  ];
}

Actions: snake_case names, Zod params, .describe() on every field. The agent does not confirm before calling — mutating actions must say so in description and require prior user approval.

// src/features/agent/agentActions.ts
import { createAgentAction } from '@cognite/app-sdk';
import { z } from 'zod';

export function buildAgentActions(dataService: DataService) {
  return [
    createAgentAction({
      name: 'get_item_details',
      description: 'Full details for an item by ID, including history.',
      parameters: z.object({
        item_id: z.string().describe('The ID of the item to retrieve'),
      }),
      async handler({ item_id }) {
        const item = await dataService.getItem(item_id);
        return { content: [{ type: 'json', data: item }] };
      },
    }),
  ];
}

createAgentAction({
  name: 'update_item_status',
  description:
    'Update item status. Call ONLY when the user has explicitly approved the change.',
  parameters: z.object({
    item_id: z.string().describe('The item to update'),
    status: z.enum(['active', 'closed', 'pending']).describe('The new status'),
  }),
  async handler({ item_id, status }) {
    storage.updateStatus(item_id, status);
    return { content: [{ type: 'json', data: { success: true } }] };
  },
})

// src/features/agent/useAgentServer.ts
import { useEffect } from 'react';
import { createAgentServer, registerAgentServer, type HostAppAPI } from '@cognite/app-sdk';
import { buildAgentActions } from './agentActions';
import { buildAgentResources } from './agentResources';
import { useStorageService } from '../storage/StorageServiceContext';
import { useDataService } from '../data/DataServiceContext';

export function useAgentServer(api: HostAppAPI | null): void {
  const storage = useStorageService();
  const dataService = useDataService();

  useEffect(() => {
    if (!api) return;
    const server = createAgentServer({
      uri: 'my-app', // Fusion namespaces with instance ID
      actions: buildAgentActions(dataService),
      resources: buildAgentResources(storage),
    });
    void registerAgentServer(api, server).catch((err: unknown) => {
      console.warn('[agent] registerAgentServer failed:', err);
    });
    return () => {
      void api.unregisterAgentServer('my-app').catch((err: unknown) => {
        console.warn('[agent] unregisterAgentServer failed:', err);
      });
    };
  }, [api, storage, dataService]);
}

Step 6 — Wire together

function App() {
  const api = useHostApp();
  useAgentServer(api);

  return (
    <AppLayout>
      <MainContent (item) => {
        if (!api) return;
        await api.sendAgentLayoutMode({ mode: 'sidebar' });
        await api.sendAgentMessage({
          message: `Analyse "${item.name}" (id: ${item.id}).`,
          newSession: true,
        });
      }} />
    </AppLayout>
  );
}

Test factories directly:

const [getItemAction] = buildAgentActions({
  getItem: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue({ id: '1', name: 'Test' }),
});
const result = await getItemAction.handler({ item_id: '1' });
expect(result.content[0].data).toEqual({ id: '1', name: 'Test' });

Hard gate — LLM calls over query results

Do not map chat completions (Atlas agents/chat, OpenAI/Anthropic, useAtlasChat().send) over DMS/SDK rows. Prefer one sendAgentMessage or a resource the sidebar agent can read.

If per-item completions are an explicit product requirement (default: no):

Forbidden: items.map((row) => complete(row)), Promise.all of completions over a query page.

Checklist

• Topbar Atlas launcher (use-topbar); no in-app chat widget
• @cognite/app-sdk@0.3.1+; setApi(() => resolvedApi); catch outside-Fusion rejection
• Triggers hidden when api is null; server registered/unregistered with .catch()
• Resource descriptions say what/when; action names snake_case; mutating actions require prior approval
• Factories take services as args; LLM-over-rows capped (5 / max 50) and cached if present
