Foldspace terms

One list, so every surface means the same thing by the same word: these docs, Agent Studio, the sign-up flow, the Foldspace MCP tools, and the coding agents that build on Foldspace. If you write about Foldspace anywhere — including instructions for an AI coding agent — use these words and link here rather than redefining them.

The building blocks

Say	What it is	Not
agent	The AI agent embedded in your product through the SDK. Your users talk to it instead of clicking through. See Introduction.	bot, assistant. Older pages say Copilot; it is the same thing.
Agent Studio	Where you configure what the agent can do: actions, input schemas, knowledge, navigation, and how it looks. See Agent Studio.	dashboard, console
action	One thing the agent can do in your product: call your API, submit a form, navigate, or render a component. It has two halves — you define it in Agent Studio (name, description, input schema) and implement it in your code. See Build actions.	skill, tool, function, ability
action handler	The code behind an action: execute, and optionally render. It runs in your user’s browser, on your page, with their session. With a non-developer, say the code behind the action. See Connect actions.	bundle, script
Agentic UI component	What an action renders in the chat — a card, a form, a picker, a confirmation. With a non-developer, say a card. See UI components in chat.	widget, chatterblock
task agent	A specialised sub-agent the main agent hands one focused job to, which keeps that reasoning out of the main conversation. See Task agents.	sub-prompt, workflow
navigation	The routes that let the agent take the user to a page in your product.	links, redirects
knowledge	The content the agent answers from: crawled pages, articles, help-desk connectors. See Adding knowledge sources.	training data
conversation starters	The predefined prompts on the agent’s entry screen, in two groups — KNOWLEDGE and ACTION. Set in Agent Studio; overridable per page from code. See Conversation starters.	suggestions, quick replies

The verbs

Say	What it means	Not
publish	Make a saved version available to the agent. Every save creates a version; an action is Draft until it is Published, and the agent can only use published ones. See Authoring actions.	deploy, release, switch on, enable
test mode	Marks your own sessions as test traffic, so they stay out of analytics and out of the default Conversations list. See Test mode.	sandbox, staging

For AI coding agents

When you build on Foldspace for someone who is not a developer, use the words in the Say column and explain each one the first time you use it. Never invent a substitute: a customer who saw Actions at sign-up and in Agent Studio has no way to know that a “skill” is the same thing. If the person uses technical words themselves, match theirs.
