* feat(managed-agent): add session lifecycle operations
Adds an operation selector to the Claude Managed Agents block, backed by
nine new tools alongside the existing run-session behavior:
- create session (non-blocking, seeds initial_events)
- send message to an existing session
- get session (surfaces tool calls awaiting approval)
- list events
- update session (title/metadata)
- interrupt session
- respond to tool confirmation (allow/deny)
- archive session
- delete session
Run Session stays the default, so blocks saved before the selector
existed keep their exact behavior and field layout.
* fix(managed-agent): address review findings on session lifecycle ops
- List Events kept the OLDEST slice when capped, dropping the agent's most
recent reply. Paging is exhaustive again and the cap now keeps the newest
N after ordering, with a `truncated` flag so callers know it is a tail.
- listPaginated returned whole pages past maxItems; it now trims to the
exact cap.
- A whitespace-only title passed the update guard and would have cleared an
existing session title. Blank is now treated as not provided.
- Interrupt had no request timeout and could hang; bounded at 15s while
still honoring the workflow signal.
- Custom-tool gates were surfaced by Get Session but could not be answered,
since they need user.custom_tool_result rather than a confirmation. Adds a
Respond To Custom Tool operation and a `kind` on each pending gate so a
workflow routes to the right one.
- Docs rendered a raw ${DEFAULT_EVENT_LIMIT} placeholder for the default.
* fix(managed-agent): correct truncation flag, gate lookup, custom tool result
- `truncated` was true whenever the history size equalled the limit, even
though nothing was dropped. Event reads now report the untrimmed total and
the flag compares against that.
- Pending-gate enrichment capped its read, which keeps the OLDEST events in
page order — the opposite of where blocking gates live. It now filters to
the ids being looked up as pages arrive, which is both correct regardless
of page order and bounded by the id count. Paging continues on the raw
page so a fully-filtered page is not mistaken for the end of the list.
- Respond To Custom Tool applied one result to every id, so multiple pending
tools would all receive the same output. It now answers a single call per
invocation.
* fix(managed-agent): stop fractional event limits reading unbounded
A limit below 1 passed the positivity check and then floored to 0, which
made `slice(-0)` hand back the ENTIRE history flagged as complete — the
opposite of the requested bound. The limit is now floored before it is
validated, so anything that does not resolve to a positive integer falls
back to the default.
Also hardened the library: a zero or negative cap short-circuits to an
empty result instead of falling through to `slice(-0)`, so no future
caller can hit the same trap.
* fix(managed-agent): stop gate lookup scanning the full tool history
The id filter keeps the collected array tiny, so `maxItems` never trips and
the walk continued to the end of a session's tool history even after every
blocking id had been found. `listPaginated` now takes a `stopWhen` predicate
and the gate lookup ends as soon as it has all the ids it came for.
Also makes a blocked-but-unnamed session observable: when a session reports
`requires_action` with no blocking event ids, `requiresAction` stays true —
reporting false would tell a workflow the session is fine while it is parked
indefinitely — and the dead end is logged and documented instead.
* fix(managed-agent): floor event cap and make metadata clearing explicit
- A `maxItems` between 0 and 1 slipped past the zero guard and became
`slice(-0)` — the whole history — because slice truncates its index toward
zero. The cap is now floored at the library boundary, so no caller can hit
it whatever they pass.
- Update Session documented full metadata replacement but could not express
a clear: an empty map normalizes to "absent". Inferring the clear from
emptiness would be worse, since an untouched table is also empty and would
wipe metadata on every title-only update. Adds an explicit `clearMetadata`
instead, and corrects the parameter's documentation.
* test(managed-agent): pin the HTTP shape of every session endpoint
Method, URL, and beta header for all 11 calls, plus the SSE accept header,
the separate memory-store beta (combining the two is a documented 400), and
content-type only on requests that carry a body. These are the details types
cannot catch and that break silently when a path is "tidied".
A workspace to build, deploy and manage AI agents and workflows.
Quickstart
Cloud-hosted: sim.ai
Self-hosted
git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
bun run setup
Capabilities
- Connect 1,000+ integrations and every major LLM
- Add Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, databases, and more
- Build agents visually, conversationally, or with code
- Ingest files, knowledge bases, and structured table data
- Monitor runs, logs, schedules, and workflow activity
One workspace, every surface
Chat and workflows are just the start — tables, files, knowledge, and scheduled tasks all live in the same workspace.
Tables — a database, built in |
Files — one store for your team and every agent |
Knowledge — your agents' memory |
Scheduled tasks — runs on your schedule |
Self-hosting
bun run setup is an interactive wizard: it provisions the database, generates secrets, writes your .env files, connects a Chat API key, and starts Sim the way you choose:
- Local dev — run from source to contribute or hack on Sim
- Docker Compose — a self-contained instance for testing self-hosting
- Kubernetes (Helm) — deploy to a local cluster
When it finishes, open http://localhost:3000.
Manage your install with bun run sim:
bun run sim start | stop | restart # bring your install up / down / cycle
bun run sim status # what's installed and healthy
bun run sim logs # follow logs
bun run sim doctor # diagnose configuration problems
bun run sim down # remove containers (data kept)
bun run sim reset # archive .env and wipe managed data
sim detects how you're running (Docker Compose, local dev, or Kubernetes) and acts accordingly.
Prefer a bare sim? Run bun link once — but note sim lands in ~/.bun/bin, which Homebrew's bun doesn't add to your PATH, so you may need export PATH="$HOME/.bun/bin:$PATH" in your shell profile.
Sim also supports local models via Ollama and vLLM. See the self-hosting docs for details.
Chat API Keys
Chat is a Sim-managed service. bun run setup connects a Chat API key for you — sign in when it opens your browser and the key is stored automatically. To view, create, or revoke keys later, go to sim.ai/selfhost/settings/chat-keys.
Environment Variables
See the environment variables reference for the full list, or apps/sim/.env.example for defaults.
