Summary
Expose Huabu capabilities to external agents through a secure, capability-scoped interface. External agents should be able to use the same user-configured Huabu capabilities that are available to the native experience, without receiving raw credentials or bypassing Huabu authorization and policy controls.
Motivating examples
- Web search: allow an external agent to invoke web search using the user's configured Tavily token and Huabu's existing search behavior.
- Image generation: allow an external agent to request image generation using the user's configured model/provider and Huabu's existing image-generation flow.
- Future capabilities: make it possible to add more Huabu tools—such as document/file operations, media processing, or other model providers—without creating a separate integration for every external agent runtime.
Requirements
- Define a stable external-agent capability contract and tool discovery mechanism.
- Expose capabilities by explicit allowlist and scope, not by granting unrestricted access to Huabu internals.
- Keep provider credentials, tokens, model configuration, and other secrets server-side; external agents receive operation results, not raw secrets.
- Reuse the user's existing Huabu configuration, authorization, quotas, policy checks, and audit/error semantics.
- Support capability-specific input validation, cancellation/timeouts, bounded resource use, and clear errors when a capability is unavailable or not configured.
- Preserve Space, Canvas, tenant, and user authorization boundaries for every invocation.
- Make the interface usable by external agent runtimes over the supported agent/RFS integration surface, with documentation and examples.
- Define compatibility/versioning expectations so capabilities can evolve without silently changing behavior for existing agents.
Security considerations
- Never inject Tavily tokens, model-provider credentials, or other secrets into agent prompts, tool descriptions, generated HTML, or client-visible state.
- Prevent an external agent from selecting arbitrary credentials, providers, models, or scopes outside the user's authorized configuration.
- Apply rate limits, cost controls, origin/thread attribution, and audit logging consistently with native Huabu operations.
- Return only the minimum result data required by the requested capability.
Acceptance criteria
- An external agent can discover whether web search and image generation are available.
- An authorized external agent can invoke web search using the user's configured Tavily integration without seeing the token.
- An authorized external agent can invoke image generation using the user's configured model/provider without seeing provider credentials.
- Unauthorized, unconfigured, invalid, timed-out, and over-limit requests fail explicitly and safely.
- Existing native Huabu capability behavior remains compatible.
- The capability contract, authorization model, credential boundary, lifecycle, and at least one integration test per initial capability are documented.
