Why / What / How

Why: Asking Autopilot to "connect to my Linear account" surfaced the Connect card together with a "Linear Search Issues — Fill in the details" form and a disabled Proceed button. The model had reached for run_block to trigger the sign-in, and the missing-credentials setup card always shipped the block's whole input schema as a required form. Connecting turned into connecting plus filling in a form the user never asked for.

What: The setup card now carries credentials only. The single exception is picker-backed fields (Google Drive picker / auto_credentials), which are the one block input that cannot be typed into the chat because the picker attaches hidden credentials to the chosen resource. Every other input is collected in the chat by the model asking the user.

How: A get_picker_inputs_from_schema helper filters the existing get_inputs_from_schema output down to picker fields, and both missing-credentials paths for blocks and both credential-gate responses for agents use it. The system prompt gains two rules: a bare "connect to X" goes through connect_integration, never run_block/run_agent; and the card asks for credentials, not inputs, so the model asks for missing values via ask_question and never tells the user to fill in the card. No frontend change is needed: with an empty inputs list the chain renders the connectors card alone, with no Proceed, and sends on sign-in.

Changes 🏗️

  • copilot/tools/helpers.py: add is_picker_field and get_picker_inputs_from_schema; use them on the missing-credentials and missing-auto-credentials setup responses; reuse is_picker_field for the existing picker detection.
  • copilot/tools/run_agent.py: both credential-gate SetupRequirementsResponses send picker inputs only. The tool's text message still lists the agent's required and optional inputs for the model.
  • copilot/prompting.py: two new rules under "Credentials & sign-in surfacing": connecting is not running, and the card asks for credentials, not inputs.
  • Tests: run_block missing-credentials card carries no plain inputs and keeps picker inputs; unit tests for the picker filter.

Checklist 📋

For code changes:

  • I have clearly listed my changes in the PR description
  • I have made a test plan
  • I have tested my changes according to the test plan:
    • Backend CI: run_block_test.py and helpers_test.py pass (new tests included)
    • Copilot: "connect to my Linear account" shows only the Connect card, no inputs form, no Proceed
    • Copilot: "search Linear for login bugs" with no Linear credentials shows the Connect card; after sign-in the model runs the search with the term from chat
    • Copilot: a Google Sheets read with no Google credentials shows the Connect card with the Drive picker and nothing else
    • Copilot: running a library agent with missing credentials shows the Connect card without the "Expected inputs" list
Example test plan
  • Create from scratch and execute an agent with at least 3 blocks
  • Import an agent from file upload, and confirm it executes correctly
  • Upload agent to marketplace
  • Import an agent from marketplace and confirm it executes correctly
  • Edit an agent from monitor, and confirm it executes correctly

For configuration changes:

  • .env.default is updated or already compatible with my changes
  • docker-compose.yml is updated or already compatible with my changes
  • I have included a list of my configuration changes in the PR description (under Changes)
Examples of configuration changes
  • Changing ports
  • Adding new services that need to communicate with each other
  • Secrets or environment variable changes
  • New or infrastructure changes such as databases

When run_block or run_agent hit missing credentials, the setup card shipped
the block's entire input schema as a required form next to the Connect
button, so "connect to Linear" became "connect and fill in the details".

The card now carries credentials only, plus picker-backed fields (Google
Drive picker / auto_credentials), which are the one input chat text cannot
supply. Every other input is collected in chat: the prompt tells the model
to use connect_integration when the user only asks to connect, and to ask
for inputs via ask_question instead of pointing at the card.

Walkthrough

The change separates credential setup from action inputs. Setup cards now include credentials and picker-backed fields only. Ordinary inputs are collected through chat, and prompting guidance requires connect_integration for connection-only requests.

Changes

Picker-backed setup flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Picker schema helpers
autogpt_platform/backend/backend/copilot/tools/helpers.py, autogpt_platform/backend/backend/copilot/tools/helpers_test.py
Adds picker-field detection and schema filtering. Tests cover Google Drive picker fields, auto-credential fields, excluded fields, and preserved values.
Setup response wiring
autogpt_platform/backend/backend/copilot/prompting.py, autogpt_platform/backend/backend/copilot/tools/helpers.py, autogpt_platform/backend/backend/copilot/tools/run_block_test.py
Setup responses retain picker-backed inputs and exclude ordinary inputs. Prompting guidance separates connection requests from action execution. Tests cover both response shapes.
Input preservation and race handling
autogpt_platform/backend/backend/copilot/tools/run_agent.py
Run and schedule validation paths forward supplied inputs when building credential prerequisite and validation-error setup cards.

Priority: ⬇️ Low — Defer this narrow Copilot backend change because it only filters setup-card inputs and updates credential-gathering behavior, with no broader product impact supplied.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 6658a

Credential setup cards now limit displayed fields to credentials and picker-backed inputs, with ordinary inputs collected through chat. No current merge-readiness risk is established.

Learning: In Python files under autogpt_platform/backend (recursively), rely on poetry run format to perform formatting (Black + isort) and linting (ruff). Do not run poetry run lint as a separate step after poetry run format, since format already includes linting checks.
