Add the agent Support tab -- human support ticket management for the
agent. Support lets people chatting with the agent hand the conversation
over to a human; each request shows up as a ticket that admins can
review, reply to, and resolve. The tab has an availability toggle, user
and status filters, a paginated ticket inbox, and a ticket detail pane
with status control and a reply thread. This is one tab in the wider
agent-settings family. All tabs share the same AgentSettingsProvider
wrapper.



Common setup (brand, conventions, env files, verification): see docs/skill-setup.md.
Prerequisites
- Auth must be set up first (
/iblai-vibe-auth) - MCP server + skills configured (
@iblai/mcpin.mcp.json) AgentSettingsProvidermust wrap the route (see/iblai-vibe-agent-settingStep 2 if not already set up). This tab reads its identity from the provider only — there are no identity prop overrides.- Ask the user for a real
mentorId(agent UUID). Do NOT invent one.
Step 1: Check Environment
Before proceeding, check for an iblai.env in the project root. Look for
PLATFORM, DOMAIN, and TOKEN variables. If the file does not exist or
is missing these variables, tell the user:
"You need an iblai.env with your platform configuration. Download the
template and fill in your values:
curl -o iblai.env https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iblai/vibe/refs/heads/main/iblai.env"
Step 2: Mount AgentHumanSupportTab
// app/(app)/agents/[mentorId]/support/page.tsx
"use client";
import { AgentHumanSupportTab } from "@iblai/iblai-js/web-containers/next";
export default function AgentSupportPage() {
return (
<div className="flex h-full flex-col bg-white">
<AgentHumanSupportTab />
</div>
);
}
AgentHumanSupportTab reads tenantKey, mentorId, and username from
AgentSettingsProvider. Pagination renders out of the box via the
built-in IblPagination — no host wiring needed.
Step 3: Customize Labels (Optional)
import { AgentHumanSupportTab } from "@iblai/iblai-js/web-containers/next";
<AgentHumanSupportTab
labels={{
header: { title: "Help Desk" },
detail: { sendReply: "Reply" },
}}
/>;
Step 4: Use MCP Tools for Customization
get_component_info("AgentHumanSupportTab")
get_component_info("AgentSettingsProvider")
<AgentHumanSupportTab> Props
Import from @iblai/iblai-js/web-containers/next.
| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
labels |
DeepPartial<HumanSupportTabLabels> |
No | Override user-visible strings |
PaginationComponent |
React.ComponentType<{ currentPage, totalPages, onPageChange, disabled, disableNumberedButtons }> |
No | Replace the built-in IblPagination used under the ticket list |
What the tab renders
- Header — "Support" title and description.
- Info box + availability toggle — explains the hand-over-to-a-human flow. The switch is the agent's human support tool (the same toggle shown in the Tools tab, surfaced here where the feature lives). Existing tickets stay fully actionable even while the option is switched off for users.
- Filters — a searchable user combobox (type to search the organization's users, debounced; shows emails and filters tickets by that requester, with an "All Users" reset) and a status select (All Statuses / Open / In Progress / Closed).
- Ticket inbox (left column) — 10 tickets per page, each row showing time-ago, requester email, subject, a status badge (Open = green, In Progress = amber, Closed = gray), and a one-line body preview. Pagination appears when there is more than one page.
- Ticket detail (right column) — on desktop; below the
mdbreakpoint clicking a ticket opens the detail in a dialog instead. Shows the subject, requester, time, and:- Status dropdown — Open / In Progress / Closed. Setting Closed calls the dedicated close endpoint; the others patch the ticket.
- Request — the original ticket body. Agent-authored bodies may be HTML or Markdown; both render sanitized, and plain text renders as-is.
- Conversation — the reply thread, oldest first, distinguishing the requester from the Support Team.
- Reply box — textarea + Send Reply. Closed tickets show a notice instead ("Set it back to Open or In Progress to reply.").

Important Notes
- Redux store: Must include
mentorReducerandmentorMiddleware initializeDataLayer(): 5 args (v1.2+)@reduxjs/toolkit: Deduplicated via webpack aliases innext.config.ts- Peer deps:
sonnerand@iblai/iblai-web-mentormust be installed (pnpm add sonner @iblai/iblai-web-mentor) - Shared provider:
AgentSettingsProvidermust wrap the route at a layout level — this tab throws without it (it uses the required context, not the optional one). See/iblai-vibe-agent-settingStep 2 for the full snippet. - Availability is a tool toggle: Turning support on/off toggles the
agent's
human supporttool slug — the same state as the Tools tab (/iblai-vibe-agent-tool). If the tool is not available on the platform, the switch is hidden but the inbox still works. - Ticket scoping: Tickets are scoped to this agent via its
mentor_unique_id(resolved from the agent's public settings). - Brand guidelines: BRAND.md
