agent-setup-source-table-is-temporary

agent-setup-source-table-is-temporary is an agent for coding agents from microsoft/BCQuality. It costs 0 tokens per session (283 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup-page pattern that keeps configuration in temporary memory until the user confirms the changes. Cancelled or failed dialogs therefore do not write partial settings to the database.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building an agent configuration dialog with custom fields and a final save action.
Why use it?
It protects stored configuration from incomplete edits and makes Cancel behave as users expect.

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-setup-source-table-is-temporary 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

Keep the agent setup page source temporary until Update

Description

ConfigurationDialog setup is a draft: the user can Cancel without writing. That only works if SourceTableTemporary = true and custom fields stay in memory until Update. Writing the real table in OnValidate or OnOpenPage commits a partial agent when the dialog errors or is cancelled.

Best Practice

Mark the page SourceTableTemporary = true. Copy into the temp record on open. Persist the Agent Setup buffer and custom fields only from the close path when the action is not Cancel, using Agent Setup.GetChangesMade / SaveChanges.

See sample: agent-setup-source-table-is-temporary.good.al.

Anti Pattern

A non-temporary source table, or Insert/Modify on the persisted setup row from field OnValidate. Detection signal: agent ConfigurationDialog without SourceTableTemporary = true, or database writes before Update.

See sample: agent-setup-source-table-is-temporary.bad.al.

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.
