Agent Visualizer Components

Use Agent Visualizer to identify the parts of your agent network and see how they work together.

  • Distinguish node types (agents and MCP servers).

  • View edges to see declared and runtime interactions.

  • Use layers to focus views on specific environments

  • Open details cards to inspect metadata and metrics for nodes and access logs and traces

  • Review governance indicators such as Flex Gateway protection and applied policies.

Node Types

Nodes in the agent network provide a visual representation of the agents and MCP servers within your agent network including:

For more information, see Viewing Node Details.

Edges

Edges represent the relationships and communications among your nodes:

  • Declared edges appear between node instances when no runtime information is available because there’s no registered traffic between them. Dashed lines on the graph indicate declared edges.

  • Runtime edges appear between nodes when traffic is registered and a Flex Gateway exists. Solid lines on the graph indicate runtime edges. Clicking on a runtime edge opens the details card and shows the relevant metrics.

    Edges are drawn under specific conditions, primarily when the calling agent is protected by a managed Flex Gateway at egress. For more information, see Deploying Agent Network Ingress and Egress Managed Flex Gateways.

  • If an agent has an egress managed Flex Gateway, when it calls another agent, the edge is visible.

  • If the requesting agent doesn’t have an egress Flex Gateway, no edge metric is generated and the edge isn’t shown.

  • Broker agents that route outbound calls through an egress Flex Gateway, allowing requests between broker agents, or from a broker agent to an external agent, appear in the agent network visualization.

Selecting an edge opens the details card, which displays relationship information and metrics. For more information, see View Edge Details.

Data Flow Layers

Agent Visualizer provides a single, consistent architectural view of all assets defined in Exchange. The base graph doesn’t change when toggling between production and non-production environments.

  • Base graph

    • Always visible

    • Shows all assets defined in Exchange (agents and MCP servers) and their design‑time relationships from broker definitions

    • Topology and layout do not change when switching layers

  • Production layer

    • Overlays production instances and metrics on existing nodes and edges

    • Hides sandbox traffic lines

  • Sandbox layer

    • Overlays sandbox instances (if they exist) and metrics on existing nodes and edges

    • Shows sandbox traffic as solid edges and hides production traffic lines

For more information about switching between production and sandbox environment layers, see View Data Flow Layers.

Details Cards

The details card is the primary means for gaining detailed, 360-degree information about a selected node or edge. It includes metadata and links to relevant resources like logs, policies, and more.

Node Metadata

When you select a node, the details card shows metadata for that asset, including:

Field Description

Name

Name of the asset.

Description

Description of the asset.

Provider

Provider of the asset.

Platform

Platform of the asset, for example, Agentforce or MuleSoft.

LLM

LLM provider (for example, OpenAI).

Skills

Skills that are supported by the agent. Skills are concrete, callable operations within a capability, with defined input and output. For example,lookupOrder, createCase, updateAddress.

Linked Agents

Agents that are linked to the broker.

MCP Servers and Tools

MCP servers and tools that are connected to the broker.

Enabled Capabilities

Capabilities that are supported by the agent. Capabilities are high-level areas of what an agent can do (domains it supports, for example, customer support or knowledge search).

Instance Name

Instance name as it appears in API Manager.

Environment Type

Environments the instance is deployed to, for example, sandbox or production.

Based on Asset Version

Version of the instance.

Policies

Policies that are applied to the instance.

Governance and Security

Whether the asset is protected by a Flex Gateway.

Performance and Health

Performance and health metrics for the instance including:

  • Successful Requests

    This metric is shown for brokers, agents, and MCP servers. This is the total number of requests received successfully in the last 24 hours.

  • Failed Request Rate

    This metric is shown for brokers, agents, and MCP servers. This is the percentage of requests that failed in the last 24 hours.

  • A2A Calls Sent

    This metric is shown for brokers. This is the total number of messages sent to agents using the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol in the last 24 hours.

  • MCP Calls Sent

    This metric is shown for MCP servers. This is the total number of messages sent to MCP servers in the last 24 hours.

Monitoring

Links to logs and traces for quick access to troubleshooting tools.

Tags

All tags associated with the asset in Exchange.

Broker metadata is defined in the agent network YAML. For more information about the agent network YAML, see Define Your Agent Network Specification.

Instance Information for an Agent

When you select an agent node, the details card shows environment-specific instance details for that asset, including:

  • Latest asset version

    The details card always shows the most recent (latest) asset version (highlighted) first, along with its corresponding instances in the selected environment (Production or Sandbox).

  • All earlier versions

    All previous (earlier) instance versions are shown under the latest version.

    Each instance entry includes the asset version number, so you can easily distinguish between versions.

  • Descending order of asset versions

    Instances are ordered from the most recent (latest) to least recent (earliest) asset version, making it easy to track version history over time.

Policy Visualization

The policy visualization shows nodes that are protected by a Flex Gateway indicated by a shield icon. Data about applied policies comes from API Manager.

You can see the details of applied policies in the details card for the selected node.
