Launch checklist

The pre-ship checks an agent has to pass before it is published: what is checked, what Required means and how to re-run it.

The launch checklist is the list of checks the platform runs against the agent’s configuration before it is published. It sits in Publish, under Release in the workspace sidebar, the same section the Publish button in the header opens. Run it before you attach the agent to a phone number, a campaign or a deployment; fix every item marked Required first. The sidebar entry shows a count of failing and warning checks.

How it works

The section has a status card, the Publish agent button and the list of checks. Opening the section runs the checks; Publish agent reads Checking… until they finish. Each check scores pass, warn or fail and the card sums them up: N Pass, N Warn, N Fail. The card’s title says where the agent stands:

Card	Meaning
Ready to publish	Every required check passes. With no warnings it adds All required checks pass. Publish to take your changes live.; with warnings it asks you to review them, or publish anyway.
Not ready to publish	A required check fails. Publish agent is disabled.
Up to date	No required check fails, and there are no unpublished changes to publish.
Run the launch checklist	The checks have not run for this agent yet. The button reads Run checklist instead of Publish agent.
Checks unavailable	The checks could not be loaded. Publishing stays disabled until they can.

The status card reading Ready to publish, All required checks pass, 2 Pass 0 Warn 0 Fail — The status card with both required checks passing.

The checks

Check	Badge	What it looks for	How to fix a failure
Prompt is configured	Required	The system prompt is not empty. The app’s own words: the system prompt defines how the agent behaves, so it can’t be empty.	Fill in Agent Identity and Tasks under Settings, or write the flow for a flow agent, and save.
At least one test scenario	Required	The agent has 1 or more scenarios under Evaluation.	Create one; AI Generate takes a few seconds. See Evaluations.

A Required check that fails disables Publish agent behind a Not ready to publish banner. Saving is never blocked; publishing is.

The Prompt is configured and At least one test scenario checks, each marked Required — The two required checks.

Run it

Save the agent

The checks read the saved configuration. If Save is enabled, save first.

Open the checklist

Under Release, choose Publish, or choose Publish in the header. The checks run as the section opens and the status card updates within a second or two.

Fix and repeat

For each failed item, follow the fix in the table above, save, and open Publish again to re-run the checks.

Verify

The status card reads Ready to publish, or Up to date once published, and Fail is 0.

Troubleshooting

At least one test scenario fails although I wrote one. The scenario was not created; the Create Scenario button stays disabled until name, a step and success criteria are all filled. Check Existing Scenarios on the Evaluation page.
Prompt is configured fails on a flow agent. The flow has no instruction on its start node. See Nodes.
The card says Run the launch checklist. Choose Run checklist.
