Building a custom extension

The Custom tab on the CloudRadial AutomationAI Extensions page lets you build an extension that is private to your own workspace. You can describe a service and let AI research and build it, or author the definition by hand and upload it. This article is for Admins and Owners.

• Generating an Extension With AI
• Authoring or Importing a Definition by Hand
• Reviewing, Downloading, and Deleting

The Custom Tab

Open Extensions and select the Custom tab. It lists your tenant-private extensions, each shown with the Private tier, its version, a description, and its skill and tool counts. A custom extension is active for your runners with no separate install step. Select Create to add one.

Generating an Extension With AI

The Create panel's primary path is to describe what you want and let AI build it.

1. Enter the app or service name in App or service name.
2. Optionally paste one or more links to its API documentation in Documentation link(s), one per line. If you do not provide a link, AI searches for the documentation.
3. In What should the agent be able to do?, describe the actions you want in plain language.
4. Select Generate with AI.

AI reads the documentation and works out the connection details, then saves a private extension for you to review. If it needs more detail, it asks one plain-language question in the panel; add the detail and select Generate with AI again.

Authoring or Importing a Definition by Hand

To write the definition yourself, expand Author manually or import a .yml in the Create panel. From there you can:

• Select Download template to get a starter YAML file
• Select Copy AI editor prompt or Download .md to get a prompt that documents the schema for your own AI editor
• Select Upload .yml to upload your edited file

An uploaded file is validated and saved by slug. If a custom extension with the same slug already exists, or the file produces warnings, AutomationAI asks you to review and confirm before it replaces the definition.

Reviewing, Downloading, and Deleting

After a successful generate or import, the new extension's detail panel opens so you can review its skills and tools. On each row in the Custom list you can:

• Select the row to open its detail panel
• Select Download to save its definition as YAML for local editing and re-upload
• Select Delete to remove it and its skills and tools, after confirming in the dialog
