agent-ui-workflows

A planning guide for interfaces that help users make design choices during an agent workflow. It covers choice cards and a step-by-step panel for decisions such as hinge type, sourcing, and 3D-print orientation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan a local web interface or VS Code side panel that gathers design intent, material and printer details, sourcing preferences, and risk tolerance before generating tool calls.
Why use it?
Text-only conversations can slow down decisions that involve comparing several options. Structured choices make those branches easier to review and select.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

agent-ui-workflows scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Agent UI Workflows (Planning)

This page outlines practical UI options for visually guiding users through agent decisions like hinge selection, sourcing, and printability checks.

Problem to Solve

Prompt-only interaction is powerful but slows down design iteration when users need fast branching choices such as:

  • Hinge family: ball-bearing, concealed, piano, living hinge
  • Sourcing strategy: McMaster-Carr, local stock, commodity online
  • Print strategy: orientation, split/no-split, support policy

1) FastMCP Choice Cards (MVP)

Use a local web UI that renders pre-baked option cards before generating final tool calls.

Card examples:

  • Hinge type card with strength/complexity/printability scores
  • Sourcing card with lead time and cost band
  • Orientation card with likely support and weakness risks

Advantages:

  • Fast to implement
  • Easy to test with real users
  • Works beside VS Code and SolidWorks

2) VS Code Webview Wizard

A side panel wizard that progressively asks:

  1. Design intent
  2. Printer/material profile
  3. Joint family
  4. Sourcing preference
  5. Risk tolerance

Then emits a structured plan and ready-to-run prompts.

3) Hybrid Mode: Wizard + Prompt Console

Keep freeform chat but pair it with visual controls for key branch points.

  • Visual UI decides branch options
  • Prompt console keeps expert flexibility

UX Blueprint for Prebaked Choices

  • Step 1: Requirements intake (load, motion cycle, environment)
  • Step 2: Candidate options list with reasons
  • Step 3: Simulated outcomes (printability + sourcing)
  • Step 4: Tool plan preview (MCP calls and expected artifacts)
  • Step 5: Execute and log in SQLite memory

Data Contract for UI Cards

Use a typed card payload so both UI and agents share structure:

{
  "category": "hinge_choice",
  "options": [
    {
      "id": "ball_bearing_hinge",
      "label": "Ball-Bearing Hinge",
      "strength_score": 9,
      "printability_score": 5,
      "cost_band": "medium",
      "source_hint": "McMaster-Carr"
    }
  ]
}

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

agent-ui-workflows is an agent published in the GitHub repository andrewbartels1/SolidworksMCP-python (65 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 541 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
