These tools handle the presentation layer and the audit trail — how data gets shown to users, and how every action gets recorded.

​
canvas_editor — No-Code Dashboards

The Canvas Editor programmatically generates dashboards and reports. Use it from within Functions to build rich visual outputs without writing frontend code.

​
Available Components

ComponentDescription
chartLine, bar, pie, and area charts bound to data
tableTabular data display with sorting and filtering
metric_cardSingle-value KPI cards
mermaidDiagrams rendered from Mermaid syntax
pdfEmbedded PDF viewer
canvas_collectorAggregates multiple Canvases into a single view

​
Data Binding

Bind data to components using content prefixes:
  • sql: — inline SQL query, executed at render time
  • json: — raw JSON data
  • exec_ref: — an Execution Reference from a previous tool call (recommended for data integrity)
# Create a dashboard from a SQL query result
orders_ref = default_api.sql_client(
    operation="execute_sql",
    credentials="warehouse-creds",
    sql="SELECT product, SUM(revenue) as total FROM orders GROUP BY product"
)

default_api.canvas_editor(
    operation="create",
    title="Revenue by Product",
    components=[
        {"type": "chart", "content": f"exec_ref:{orders_ref.get('ref_id')}"},
        {"type": "table", "content": f"exec_ref:{orders_ref.get('ref_id')}"}
    ]
)
Using Execution References (exec_ref) instead of raw JSON ensures data integrity — the system resolves the data at render time, preventing truncation or hallucination during transcription.

​
app — Interactive React Applications

For more complex UIs beyond what Canvas can provide, the app tool builds interactive React applications.

​
Tech Stack

  • React (JSX) with Tailwind CSS for styling
  • Lucide icons for consistent iconography
  • Recharts for data visualization

​
Key Features

  • Data Binding — connect React props directly to search_artifacts queries or sql_client results
  • Sandboxing — apps run in secure iframes, preventing cross-Dimension data leakage
  • Interactivity — full React state management for forms, filters, and real-time updates
Use canvas_editor for standard dashboards and reports. Reserve app for interactive workflows that need custom UI logic — forms, multi-step wizards, or complex filtering interfaces.

​
work_orders — Audit & Governance

Every tool call and AI turn in MyAi is recorded as a Work Order. The work_orders tool gives you programmatic access to this audit trail.

​
Operations

OperationPurpose
get_conversationReview the full conversation log for a specific session
get_turn_payloadInspect exactly what the AI saw and did during a specific execution turn
find_by_statusReal-time monitoring — find active, completed, or failed work orders
find_by_attunementFilter work orders by their Attunement (SLA) context

​
Why This Matters

  • Compliance — full traceability of every automated action
  • Debugging — inspect exactly what data a function received and what it returned
  • Monitoring — real-time visibility into running Workflows and agent activity
# Find all failed work orders in the last 24 hours
failed = default_api.work_orders(
    operation="find_by_status",
    status="failed"
)
for wo in failed.get("work_orders", []):
    print(f"Failed: {wo.get('id')} — {wo.get('description')}")
