Headless agent building: Create Glean agents where you code
Oct 21, 2026
Summary
Introduces 'headless agent building' for Glean, enabling developers to create, test, and publish agents directly from coding environments (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) using code-first workflows. Agents are defined in files (spec.yaml, instructions.md), tested and evaluated within the IDE, and published to Glean's managed runtime, inheriting its enterprise context, permissions, and audit trail. This transforms agent creation into a software artifact managed with familiar development practices.
