ChatWalaʻau v0.115.0
This release expands Declarative Workflows in ChatWalaʻau to the full Microsoft Agent Framework action set, with a visual editor for nested control flow and opt-in, sandboxed tool / MCP / HTTP actions.
✅ No breaking changes. This release is additive and default-safe. With
DECLARATIVE_AGENTS_DIRunset there are no workflows, and the three new boundary-crossing workflow actions are off by default -- the runtime and every existing workflow are byte-for-byte unchanged unless you explicitly opt in. No action is required to upgrade.
Highlights
Full 23-action workflow surface (v0.115.0)
-
The workflow editor and compiler now support the full declarative action set, grouped by category:
Category Actions Variable SetVariable,SetMultipleVariables,SetTextVariable,ResetVariable,ClearAllVariables,ParseValue,EditTableV2Control Flow If,ConditionGroup,Foreach,BreakLoop,ContinueLoop,GotoActionOutput SendActivityAgent InvokeAzureAgent(invokes one of your declarative Prompt agents)Tool InvokeFunctionTool,InvokeMcpToolHTTP HttpRequestActionHuman-in-the-Loop Question,RequestExternalInputWorkflow Control EndWorkflow,EndConversation,CreateConversation
Nested control-flow authoring (v0.115.0)
If,Foreach, andConditionGroupare now authored as nested container nodes in the DAG editor -- anIfhasthen/elselanes, aForeachhas a body lane, and aConditionGrouphas one lane per condition plus anelselane -- instead of a single field plus raw-YAML editing.GotoActionrenders as a labeled back-edge.- Workflows can declare typed top-level
inputs:andoutputs:, and everything round-trips losslessly through the canonical YAML preview.
Opt-in, sandboxed boundary-crossing actions (v0.115.0)
InvokeFunctionTool,InvokeMcpTool, andHttpRequestActionlet a workflow call tools, MCP servers, and HTTP endpoints. They are off by default and each runs only through a built-in sandbox -- never a raw value from the workflow file:InvokeFunctionTool(WORKFLOW_FUNCTION_ACTIONS_ENABLED) exposes only the same function tools an agent could already call on your deployment.InvokeMcpTool(WORKFLOW_MCP_ACTIONS_ENABLED) reaches only MCP servers you already configured and left enabled in the tool manager; the URL / headers in the YAML are ignored.HttpRequestAction(WORKFLOW_HTTP_ACTIONS_ENABLED) is limited to a host allow-list (WORKFLOW_HTTP_ALLOWED_HOSTS) with an SSRF guard that blocks loopback / private / link-local / cloud-metadata addresses, plus a request timeout (WORKFLOW_HTTP_TIMEOUT_MS).
- While a class is disabled, its action is flagged as a blocking warning, so a workflow that uses it cannot be run until you enable the class.
Human-in-the-loop (v0.115.0)
QuestionandRequestExternalInputsurface an input request during a run (with the prompt text) and resume when answered.
Notes
- Enabling any of the three boundary-crossing action classes is a deliberate choice that opens new outbound surface; each is guarded (configured-servers-only for MCP, host allow-list + SSRF guard for HTTP, agent-equivalent tools for functions) and off until you turn it on.
- Internal design management content and architecture control artifacts are intentionally omitted from this release note.
