The Agent Registry builds a topology of your AI system automatically from your traces. Every agent that has run at least one trace appears here with the tools it called, the models it used, and any sub-agents it delegated to.
Agent registry showing agent nodes, tools, and delegation connections

What the registry shows

Each agent entry shows:

Agent topology

The topology view renders agents as nodes connected by delegation edges. An edge from Agent A to Agent B means A called B as a sub-agent in at least one trace. Edge thickness scales with delegation frequency. Use the topology to identify:
  • Coordinator agents that delegate to many specialists
  • Agents with unexpectedly high tool diversity (potential scope creep)
  • Isolated agents with no connections (standalone tools)

Tool usage

Each agent’s tool panel lists every tool the agent called, with call counts and failure rates. A tool with a failure rate above 10% is highlighted in the reliability column.

Filtering

Filter agents by:
  • Last active — see which agents are actively running vs dormant
  • Model — find all agents using a specific model
  • Environment — separate production from staging agents

Registering agents in code

Agents appear in the registry automatically when you use the SDK’s agent context:
For Google ADK agents, use wrapADKAgent() or instrumentADK() — see Google ADK integration.

Compliance history

Both the registry list and an individual agent’s detail page show a compliance badge — pass rate, violation count, and last violation date — pulled from every project in your organization, not just the current one. It’s the same summary that appears next to a delegation line in the trace detail view. This answers a different question than the per-agent performance metrics elsewhere in the registry: not “did this agent’s calls succeed,” but “has this agent — wherever it’s actually run across my org — stayed inside its guardrails.”
Compliance data rolls up on a 6-hour cycle. A badge reading “No compliance history yet” means this agent name has no recorded guardrail checks anywhere in your org yet — it isn’t a failing score.
