Workspace Tabs
A tab-by-tab map of the Cloud Agents workspace, what each surface is for, and which operator questions each one answers.
Cloud Agents is easier to operate when each tab has a clear job. This page is the map for the workspace.
Top-Level Navigation
| Tab | What it answers | Start here when... |
|---|---|---|
| Overview | What is happening right now? | You want a quick operational pulse. |
| Chat | What should an agent do next? | You want to dispatch work from natural language. |
| Runs | What happened in a specific run? | You need history, status, or detailed outputs. |
| Usage | How much capacity is this using? | You are checking quotas, tokens, duration, or concentration. |
| Repositories | Which repositories are automated and how? | You need to change repository rules or safety controls. |
| Approvals | Which actions are waiting on people? | You want to clear merge or execution blockers. |
| Add-ons | How do we expand capacity? | You hit review, execute, or agent-profile limits. |
| Settings | How is the workspace configured globally? | You need integrations, custom agents, or workspace-level setup. |
Overview
System snapshot
The overview page surfaces aggregate counts such as total runs, running now, awaiting approval, and failed runs. It is the fastest place to see whether the workspace is healthy or blocked.
Recent runs
A recent-runs list gives quick access to active and recently completed work, so operators can jump directly into a run without searching the full history.
Action shortcuts
Buttons such as Usage, New Review, and New Execute turn the overview page into a launch point for the next decision instead of a passive dashboard.
Use Overview when an engineering lead, repo owner, or release manager wants to know whether work is moving or waiting.
Chat
The Chat tab is the dispatch console. It combines repository scope selectors with a task composer so a user can ask a question, generate a plan, or run a real agent workflow.

Runs
The Runs tab is the execution ledger for the product. It is where queued, running, awaiting, completed, failed, and cancelled work is filtered and opened.
Go deeper in Runs.
Usage
The Usage tab is the operating economics surface for Cloud Agents. It shows review quota, execute quota, daily run quota, token volume, success rate, duration, activity over time, and repository concentration.
Go deeper in Usage & Add-ons.
Repositories
The Repositories tab is the most important control surface after Chat. It decides what automation is allowed to do and where it is allowed to do it.
Typical changes made here:
- enabling or disabling automatic review
- enabling or disabling execute workflows
- allowing review on pull request events
- requiring validation after execute
- defining protected paths
- defining ignore paths
Go deeper in Repositories.
Approvals
The Approvals tab centralizes work that is intentionally paused for human judgment. This is where teams enforce separation between automated preparation and human authorization.
Go deeper in Approvals.
Add-ons
The Add-ons tab is where teams buy more room instead of re-architecting their process around artificial ceilings. The catalog can include recurring, one-time, and metered capacity extensions depending on your plan and region.
Go deeper in Usage & Add-ons.
Settings
The Settings tab has its own internal navigation. In the current workspace it acts as the setup hub for:
- Integrations such as GitHub and Slack
- Agents including system and custom agents
- Approvals-related configuration surfaces
Go deeper in Settings.
Recommended Operator Flow
- Start in Overview to see whether anything urgent is blocked.
- Move to Approvals if a run is waiting on human action.
- Use Chat to dispatch new work.
- Use Runs to inspect the outputs.
- Adjust Repositories if the behavior exposed a policy problem.
- Check Usage and Add-ons when throughput and quota begin to diverge.
Cloud Agents is most effective when teams treat tabs as distinct operational surfaces: Chat for dispatch, Runs for evidence, Repositories for guardrails, and Approvals for governance.
