Summary

Add the RFC-122 environment composition to the nemo-agents plugin. An AgentDeployment can now reference an AgentEnvironment (ref | inline | None) composed of an EnvironmentSpec (the dependencies an agent reaches — env vars, secrets, external model-provider override, MCP fulfillment, and the Fabric environment mirror) and a ComputeSpec (k8s-style resource requests/limits). At deploy time the environment is resolved and snapshotted onto the deployment, compiling into the agent.yaml / FabricConfig and, for container modes, the deployments-plugin Container.resources.

This is PR 2 of a stack. It targets generalized-secret-injection/bmccown (PR #1378), which generalizes deployments-plugin secret injection so EnvironmentSpec secrets can reach containers. Review/merge #1378 first.

Related Issue

RFC-122 (environment/sandbox/harness specs). Sandbox spec is explicitly out of scope here.

Changes

  • entities.py: new inline BaseModels (ComputeResources, ComputeSpecInline, ModelProviderOverride, McpFulfillment, EnvironmentSpecInline, AgentEnvironmentInline) and three first-class entities: agent_compute_spec, agent_environment_spec, agent_environment. AgentDeployment gains environment (raw ref/inline snapshot for provenance) and compute (resolved compute snapshot). All default to None/empty → backward compatible.
  • environment_resolution.py (new): resolve_environment dereferences the environment + its specs (missing ref → 400); merge_environment_spec_into_agent_config merges the EnvironmentSpec into the nemo-agents-spec-v1 config with Agent-config-wins precedence (the spec is the fulfillment base). Merges env vars, Fabric mirror fields, model_provider_override, and MCP fulfillment. The harness workspace path is carried as workspace_path to avoid colliding with the entity/tenant workspace field.
  • api/v2/deployments.py: resolve + merge + snapshot at create time.
  • api/v2/environments.py (new) + _perms.py + schema.py + service.py: CRUD routes for the three entities with mandatory @path_rule authz.
  • runner (controller/backend/in_memory/deployments_backend): thread the compute snapshot into Container.resources — k8s passes requests+limits, docker consolidates to limits, subprocess ignores it.
  • agent_config.py + fabric/translator.py: additive Fabric-mirror fields on the platform EnvironmentConfig, forwarded (plus merged env, platform-injected values winning) into FabricConfig.environment.

A deployment is snapshotted at create time and is not kept in sync with the underlying environment entities afterward.

Type of Change

  • Code change (feature, bug fix, or refactor)

Quality Gates

  • Tests added or updated for changed behavior
  • Documentation not applicable — justification: entity/API surface documented via OpenAPI/SDK generation; no prose docs page exists yet for agent environments.

Verification

  • Pull request title follows the repository's Conventional Commit format
  • Every commit includes an appropriate Signed-off-by: trailer
  • Targeted tests pass, or tests are marked not applicable above
  • No secrets, API keys, or credentials are included

Targeted validation:

  • uv run ruff check plugins/nemo-agents/ + ruff format --check → All checks passed / formatted
  • uv run --frozen ty check <edited source files> → All checks passed (pre-existing errors in unrelated files unchanged)
  • uv run --frozen pytest plugins/nemo-agents/tests/unit --import-mode=importlib → 1038 passed, 1 pre-existing flaky failure (test_cli_list_output.py: a fixed timestamp ...123456 coincidentally contains the pid substring 12345; fails identically on the base branch, unrelated to this change)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added workspace-scoped APIs to create, view, list, and delete agent environments, environment specifications, and compute specifications.
    • Deployments now support inline or saved environments, compute resource requests and limits, and secure secret references for container deployments.
    • Deployment records snapshot resolved environment, compute, and secret settings.
    • Environment specifications support variables, model providers, MCP servers, and platform environment metadata.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved validation and error responses for missing or conflicting resources.
    • Preserved runtime platform values during environment merges.
    • Prevented undeclared MCP servers and reserved environment variable names from being injected.

Part of a stack — depends on #1378 (base branch: generalized-secret-injection/bmccown):

The diff will collapse to just the agents changes once #1378 merges and this is retargeted to main.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Agent environments and compute specifications are reusable entities with workspace-scoped CRUD APIs. Deployment creation resolves and snapshots them. Fabric configuration merges environment data. Container backends apply compute resources and secret references.

the agent-declared mcp.servers configuration before constructing or storing a
server, preserving only fulfillments for declared servers. Adjust the related
test so an undeclared name such as “new” is not added to the runtime
configuration.
- Around line 188-197: Update _merge_process_env to preserve env_spec.secrets by
merging it through the generalized secret-injection representation introduced
for secret handling, while keeping plaintext variables and Agent-key precedence
intact. Ensure referenced environment secrets are forwarded to the
deployment/backend without being materialized as plaintext, and add coverage for
that behavior.

…tities

Introduce the RFC-122 environment composition for agent deployments. An
AgentDeployment can now reference an AgentEnvironment (ref | inline | None)
composed of an EnvironmentSpec (the dependencies an agent reaches - env
vars, secrets, model provider, MCP fulfillment, Fabric environment mirror)
and a ComputeSpec (k8s-style resource requests/limits).

Entities (all first-class with CRUD APIs):
- agent_compute_spec, agent_environment_spec, agent_environment.
- Inline BaseModels are shared so a field accepts a 'workspace/name' ref or
  the inline spec.

Compile / snapshot at deploy time:
- resolve_environment dereferences the environment + its specs.
- merge_environment_spec_into_agent_config merges the EnvironmentSpec into
  the nemo-agents-spec-v1 config with Agent-config-wins precedence (spec is
  the fulfillment base; the Agent's explicit values are preserved). env,
  Fabric mirror fields, model_provider_override, and MCP fulfillment merge
  in; the harness workspace path is carried as workspace_path to avoid
  colliding with the entity's tenant workspace field.
- AgentDeployment snapshots the raw environment (provenance) and the
  resolved compute; content is merged into config. A deployment is not kept
  in sync with the underlying entities after creation.
- The translator forwards environment.env + mirror fields into
  FabricConfig.environment; the container backend compiles the compute
  snapshot into Container.resources (k8s passes both requests+limits, docker
  consolidates to limits). Subprocess ignores compute.

Backward compatible: all new fields default to None/empty, so agent configs
authored without an environment behave identically.

Secret env vars declared on an EnvironmentSpec ride the generalized
deployments-plugin secret injection from the parent PR.

Signed-off-by: Ben McCown <bmccown@nvidia.com>
- deployments.py: return 422 (not 400) for EnvironmentResolutionError — the
  request is syntactically valid but references an environment/spec that
  cannot be resolved (semantic error).
- entities.py/agent_config.py: drop internal RFC-122/RFC122 identifiers from
  shipped source comments/docstrings; keep the descriptive text.
- entities.py: rename EnvironmentSpec field artifacts -> artifacts_path for
  symmetry with workspace_path; environment_resolution.py maps it onto the
  config's environment.artifacts (mirroring the workspace_path -> workspace
  mapping), so the Fabric-facing field name is unchanged.
- Regenerate the agents plugin OpenAPI spec: adds the AgentEnvironment /
  EnvironmentSpec / ComputeSpec schemas + routes (previously not regenerated)

Permission-id segments must match [a-z0-9]+(-[a-z0-9]+)* (no underscores);
the EnvironmentSpec/ComputeSpec PermissionSets used underscored namespaces
(agents.environment_specs / agents.compute_specs), which the authz bundle
rejected as malformed permission ids and failed closed (hard_fail), 500ing
the auth service and breaking platform startup in tests.

Rename the namespaces to agents.environment-specs / agents.compute-specs
(matching the hyphenated route paths). Covered by the existing
plugins/nemo-agents/tests/test_authz.py derivation assertion (problems == []).

- deployments.py: type _resolve_deployment_environment's environment param
  as str | AgentEnvironmentInline | None (was Any) to match the request
  contract and restore type checking at that boundary.
- environments.py/test: add concrete type hints (NemoEntitiesClient, bounded
  TypeVars for entity/page/filter) to the shared CRUD helpers and to the
  _stamp test helper so ty checks them.
- environment_resolution.py (_merge_mcp): only fulfill MCP servers the Agent
  declared; skip fulfillments for undeclared server names (request/fulfill
  contract) so an environment cannot inject unrequested MCP servers.
- Preserve EnvironmentSpec secret references (previously dropped): snapshot
  them onto AgentDeployment.secrets and compile them into secret-backed
  container env vars (EnvVar.secret_ref, never plaintext), threaded through
  the controller/backend like the compute snapshot. The deployments-plugin
  substrate materializes/mounts them (docker plaintext env, k8s managed
  Secret via envFrom). Subprocess mode ignores them.
- Regenerate the agents OpenAPI spec for the new AgentDeployment.secrets field.

Adds coverage for undeclared-MCP skipping, secret snapshotting on create, and
secret_ref env-var compilation.

…r vars

A secret env var from the environment whose name matches a platform-generated
container env var (NMP_WORKSPACE, NMP_AGENT_NAME, NMP_BASE_URL,
AGENT_CONFIG_PATH, NAT_CONFIG_PATH) behaves inconsistently across substrates:
docker applies the secret value over the generated one, while k8s ignores the
colliding secret because explicit env entries take precedence over the managed
Secret's envFrom. Reject the collision at compile time (ReservedSecretEnvVarError,
surfaced as a failed deployment) instead of silently shadowing platform wiring.

Adds docker + k8s coverage for each reserved name.

PYTHONPATH is injected on the agent container in the k8s plugin-wheels path.
Add it to the reserved env var names (unconditionally, so the guard is
mode-independent) so an environment secret named PYTHONPATH is rejected up
front rather than silently shadowed. Extend the docker+k8s collision test.

Flip the merge precedence from Agent-wins to EnvironmentSpec-wins: the Agent
config supplies defaults and the EnvironmentSpec overrides them where it sets a
value (env dict, environment mirror scalars/dicts, model_provider_override, and
declared-MCP url/env). Fields the spec leaves unset fall back to the Agent
default, so an agent authored without an environment is unchanged.

This is the middle tier of an intended precedence chain
'deployment overrides > EnvironmentSpec > Agent defaults'. Because each layer is
the same EnvironmentSpecInline applied in order, a future inline
'environment_overrides' on the deployment slots in by applying this merge a
second time with the higher-priority spec last — a clean two-way door.

Updates the merge tests to assert spec-wins-on-collision while unset spec
fields keep the Agent default.

…secret compiler

Two correctness fixes in the EnvironmentSpec merge:

1. provider clobber: EnvironmentSpecInline.provider defaults to "local" (non-None),
   so the flipped precedence overwrote an Agent's explicit "docker"/"k8s" with
   "local" even when the spec never set provider. Only override a scalar mirror
   field when the spec EXPLICITLY set it (model_fields_set), not on schema
   defaults.

2. MCP secrets were stored as plaintext: _merge_mcp put McpFulfillment.secrets
   (which are ENV_NAME -> secret refs) directly into mcp.servers.<name>.env as
   literal values, so the raw reference leaked into agent.yaml and the secret was
   never resolved. Route both top-level and per-MCP secrets through a single
   collected secrets map that merge_environment_spec_into_agent_config now
   returns (MergedEnvironment). The deployment snapshots that map so the substrate
   injects the resolved value into the process env under ENV_NAME (secret_ref,
   never plaintext); MCP servers read their credentials from the process env by
   name (env-var-name indirection, per Fabric guidance). Only non-secret MCP env
   is written into the server config.

Conflicting refs for the same env var name raise EnvironmentResolutionError
(surfaced as 422). Adds tests for the provider guard, MCP secret collection (not
in config), and ref conflicts.

Signed-off-by: Ben McCown <bmccown@nvidia.com>
The secret collector only detected secret-vs-secret ref conflicts. A name could
still be bound both as a secret (injected as a secret_ref env var) and as a
plaintext value in the merged environment.env or a declared MCP server's env, so
the effective credential depended on runtime env construction order.

Add a validation pass that rejects (EnvironmentResolutionError -> 422) any
collected secret name that also appears as a plaintext binding in
environment.env or any mcp.servers.<name>.env. Covers plaintext from the Agent
config as well as the spec. Adds top-level, agent-plaintext, and MCP regression
tests.
