invoking the JSON-only request transport, raising PyAirbyteInputError with a
clear unsupported-action message; leave all other actions on the existing
execution path.
In `@airbyte/cloud/workspaces.py`:
- Around line 417-423: Update the connector lookup flow to avoid calling
_resolve_agents_organization_id when connector_id is provided without an
organization ID, preserving the documented no-API-call behavior for ID lookup.
Resolve the organization only for name-based lookup or defer resolution until
the returned connector’s inspect or execute path.

Pull request overview
Adds first-class support in airbyte.cloud for discovering and executing Airbyte Agents connector actions via the separate Agents API root, including credential/env-based routing and organization header resolution.
Changes:
- Introduces Agents API constants and credential support (
AIRBYTE_AGENTS_API_URL, default Agents API root). - Adds
CloudWorkspacehelpers to list/get Agents connectors with best-effort organization ID resolution. - Implements public Agents connector models (
AgentConnector,AgentExecuteResult, etc.) plus internal HTTP plumbing in_util/agents_api_util.py.

In `@airbyte/agents/_api_util.py`:
- Around line 28-33: Replace the static _AGENTS_API_ROOT usage in the Agents API
transport with the configured CloudWorkspace.agents_api_root value, threading
that setting through request URL construction so full_url reflects the workspace
configuration for every Agents request.
- Around line 235-243: Update _records_from_response to require the response to
contain a data field; raise the existing AirbyteError for missing data instead
of defaulting to an empty list, while preserving validation of list and record
shapes.
- Around line 101-118: Update the response parsing in the API utility so the
response.json() call catches ValueError for malformed JSON and raises
AirbyteError with the existing URL context. Preserve the current dictionary
validation and successful return behavior for valid JSON responses.
- Around line 82-88: Update the requests.request call in the API request flow to
pass an explicit, documented finite timeout value, ensuring stalled Agents API
requests cannot block indefinitely while preserving the existing method, URL,
headers, params, and JSON payload behavior.
In `@airbyte/agents/organizations.py`:
- Around line 45-51: Update _AirbyteCredentials.from_auth calls in
airbyte/agents/organizations.py lines 45-51 and airbyte/agents/workspaces.py
lines 50-57 to preserve per-field environment fallback for missing credentials;
remove the env_vars override or pass the factory’s fallback-enabled behavior so
explicitly supplied fields can be combined with environment-provided fields.
In `@airbyte/agents/workspaces.py`:
- Around line 176-183: Preserve the custom agents_api_root across CloudWorkspace
conversions: store it in AgentWorkspace, pass it through the Agents transport,
and include it when as_cloud_workspace() reconstructs CloudWorkspace. Update the
corresponding from_cloud_workspace()/as_cloud_workspace() conversion test to
verify nondefault endpoint values survive both directions.

Summary
Requested by AJ Steers.
Adds Airbyte Agents connector execution to PyAirbyte's public API and to the Cloud MCP server. Cloud application credentials authenticate against the Agents API, so nothing new is needed from users: the same
AIRBYTE_CLOUD_*environment variables and the same MCP config args work here.Agents lives in its own package rather than on the Cloud classes, because the Agents API is a distinct host with its own auth scoping and resolution rules:
Design points worth knowing before reading the diff:
api_argsdict; every argument PyAirbyte itself owns (select_fields,exclude_fields,limit,cursor,skip_truncation,intent) stays explicit and keyword-only.limit/cursorare merged into the wireparams, and a duplicate passed throughapi_argsis rejected rather than silently overridden.entityandactionare free strings.inspectpublishes only Context Store-supported entities, not an exhaustive executable entity/action matrix, so validating against it would reject legitimate calls.downloadis the one action rejected before transport — it returns a binary stream PyAirbyte cannot yet consume, and without the guard it surfaces as a confusing non-JSON parse error.AgentExecuteResult.entitiesvalidates every item is a dict rather than filtering silently, and raises with guidance to use.resultwhen the action's payload is not a list of entities.CloudWorkspace.as_agent_workspace()verifies Agents reachability by default (check=True) — Cloud credentials authenticating does not imply the organization has an Agents subscription, so the failure is worth surfacing at conversion time rather than on first execute.MCP tools
airbyte/mcp/agents.pyis a presentation layer only; all logic lives inairbyte/agents/. Five tools:The two execute tools are thin wrappers over one
_execute()helper. The split exists because readonly-mode filtering is per-tool (readOnlyHintis a static annotation read before any call), so a single mixed read/write tool would vanish entirely in readonly mode.execute_agent_connector_rorestrictsactiontoLiteral["list", "get", "search", "api_search"]and survives readonly mode;execute_agent_connectorcarries the full action literal and additionally acceptsread_only: bool | Noneas a caller-side guard, which rejects write actions in the shared helper before any request is sent.workspace_idappears only onlist_agent_connectors, and drops out of the schema whenAIRBYTE_CLOUD_WORKSPACE_IDis statically configured — same_add_defaults_for_exclude_argsmechanismcloud.pyuses. It is deliberately absent from describe and execute: the Agents API addresses those by connector ID alone, so a workspace argument there would be a decorative parameter an agent has to reason about.Known limitation
MCP config has no organization argument, so on multi-organization credentials
describe/executecannot sendX-Organization-Id. The Agents API's own error is surfaced with guidance namingAIRBYTE_CLOUD_ORGANIZATION_ID. Adding an MCP org config arg is a Cloud-wide change and is left out of this PR.Test plan
