Configuration Concepts

Idun is configuration-driven: you describe your agent runtime, observability, guardrails, memory, and MCP servers declaratively (typically in YAML), and the platform makes it runnable and governable.

Time to read: ~5 minutes.

What you configure

• Agent framework + code entrypoint (LangGraph, ADK, Haystack, templates)
• Server settings (ports, API surface)
• Observability (Langfuse, Phoenix, LangSmith, GCP)
• Guardrails (safety policies, validation)
• Memory / checkpointing (SQLite/PostgreSQL, session services)
• MCP servers (tooling via Model Context Protocol)

Where configuration lives

• Standalone Engine: local YAML config (fastest path for local development).
• Managed mode: configuration and access policies are stored in the Agent Manager and pulled by Engines at runtime.
