New Samples and Extensions:


New Features for 2.26.5


Key highlights of Flogo 2.26.5 

TIBCO Flogo 2.26.5 (June 2026) introduces Tech Preview Agentic AI features (Azure OpenAI, multi-turn memory, dynamic MCP/A2A config) along with enhanced MCP security, tooling, and observability. It also adds flexible Google service account key options and Pulsar flow-limit support, backed by new samples and documentation.

Connector for Agentic AI (Tech Preview)

    • Azure OpenAI Support: A new provider option enables direct integration with Azure-hosted OpenAI models.
    • Multi-Turn Conversations: The LLM Client Activity now supports an in-process memory conversation store.
    • Dynamic Configurations: MCP servers and A2A remote agents can now be configured dynamically at runtime via LLM Client Activity inputs, eliminating the need for pre-configured connection resources.
 

Connector for Model Context Protocol (MCP)

    • Security & Authorization: Added scope-based access control for JWT authentication, and enhanced the tokenInfo claims to expose standard JWT claims (like iss, sub, and email) for richer authorization.
    • Advanced Tool Responses: Tools can now return structured, schema-validated responses alongside text, and include content annotations (audience and priority fields).
    • New MCP Client Activity: A new MCP Client Activity lets flows invoke remote MCP server tools, supported by a new MCP Client OAuth2 Configuration.
    • Observability: The MCP Server trigger now supports OpenTelemetry for distributed tracing.
 

Google Connection Enhancements

    • You can securely configure Google connections by leveraging enhanced options for the Service Account Key.
    • You can now override the key using a Base64-encoded value, a JSON service account key, a file path, or a Kubernetes secret


Connector for Apache Pulsar

    • TIBCO Flogo® Connector for Apache Pulsar now supports trigger-level flowlimit.

 

 


New Features for 2.26.4

Key Highlights of Version 2.26.4:

We’ve got a major update for everyone working with intelligent automation! The latest TIBCO Flogo 2.26.4 release is officially live and brings major upgrades to our AI capabilities, headlined by groundbreaking multi-agent orchestration.

 

Spotlight: Agentic AI Connector Updates (Tech Preview)

          Our Agentic AI capabilities just took a massive leap forward, introducing features designed for sophisticated, dynamic, and collaborative AI behaviors:

    • Native Agent-to-Agent (A2A) Support: Autonomous AI agents can now communicate directly with one another via the newly supported A2A protocol. This unlocks powerful new architectures for multi-agent collaboration, delegation, and complex problem-solving.
    • Dynamic LLM Client Activity: A brand-new activity allows you to dynamically configure your LLM provider, model, and authentication parameters at runtime. This completely eliminates the restrictive requirement for static, pre-configured connections.
    • Smart Context Reduction: The AI Agent activity now includes a filteredToolNames input field. By passing a string array, you can explicitly limit which tools are available during an invocation—minimizing context windows and optimizing prompt efficiency.

Additional Core & Connector Enhancements

          While AI takes center stage, this release also brings valuable stability and functional improvements to our daily integration workflows:

    • Streamlined Error Troubleshooting: The core engine now includes the flowInstanceId directly inside the data payload of the Error object. This makes it significantly faster to correlate runtime errors with specific execution paths.
    • Google Cloud Storage Update: The Flogo Connector for Google Cloud Storage has expanded its capabilities to support the List Activity.

New Features for 2.26.3 

 Key Highlights from this Release:

  • Enhanced Observability & Metrics:

    • Activity Type Labels: You can now include activity types as labels in Flogo metrics, providing granular clarity for tracking database latency or REST success rates.
    • Native OpenTelemetry (OTEL) Metrics: Access flow and activity execution duration metrics directly via OTEL collectors, removing the need for workarounds.
  • Developer Productivity & Control:

    • Runtime Schema Validation: A new engine variable, FLOGO_SCHEMA_VALIDATION, allows you to enforce strict runtime schema checks and fail the application immediately if issues are detected.
    • Custom Build Names: Use the new -b or --build-name flag with build-tp-deployment to give your builds identifiable names on the TIBCO Control Plane.

  • Expanded & Enhanced Connectors:

      • New Connector: Official support added for Google Cloud Storage.
      • MCP Connector Updates: Now supports annotation settings for tool primitives (ReadOnly, Idempotent, etc.) and allows for configuring stateless or stateful modes.
      • Agentic AI (Tech Preview): Now supports the Amazon Bedrock Anthropic provider.

New Features for 2.26.2

 

Key Highlights of Version 2.26.2:

Featured: TIBCO Flogo® Connector for Agentic AI (Tech Preview)

This release marks a strategic shift toward intelligent, agent-driven orchestration. The new Agentic AI Connector empowers developers to seamlessly blend Large Language Model (LLM) reasoning with traditional deterministic business logic.

  • Intelligent Agent Orchestration: Design both broad orchestration agents and specialized domain-specific agents capable of autonomously coordinating tasks and making contextual decisions.

 

  • Multi-Provider LLM Connectivity: Establish a unified interface to leading LLM services, with built-in support for OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, Ollama, and VLLM.

 

  • MCP Server Integration: Directly connect to Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to retrieve available tools and expose them to your AI agents, significantly extending their functional reach.



Advanced AI Activities:

  • AI Agent Activity: Send prompts to LLMs while managing agent settings and conversation memory.

 

  • AI Agent Trigger: Process requests both internally and over technology triggers, enabling agents to respond to real-time events.

 

  • Invoke AI Agent Trigger: Integrate AI-powered agents directly into your application logic by sending prompts and managing context history.

 

  • Safety & Compliance: Built-in support for guardrails, rate limiting, and token limits to ensure safe and predictable agent behavior. You can also store conversations in a custom store and mask data using custom guardrails.



Additional Connector Updates

In addition to the Agentic AI suite, this release expands connectivity across the TIBCO ecosystem:

  • TIBCO Flogo® Connector for TIBCO FTL®: Now generally available, providing robust activities to publish and subscribe to messages using FTL’s destination-based messaging.

 

  • TIBCO Flogo® Connector for Mail: A new connector for accessing and retrieving emails via the IMAP protocol, supporting both batch polling triggers and fetch activities.

  • Merge Node Enhancements: You can now add empty arrays as child nodes to a merge node using the new "Add Item" option, enabling more flexible split and merge operations

 

  • REST Trigger & Activity Updates:
    • Basic Authentication: The REST trigger now supports Basic Authentication, allowing credentials to be configured directly within the trigger for secure webhook access.
    • Custom Headers: You can now manually add custom headers in the `InvokeRest` activity, even when using an API specification.



Connector Enhancements:

  • TIBCO Enterprise Message Service™ (EMS): Now supports Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) naming URLs for configuring connection factories.



  • Apache Kafka: A new "Schema Registry Vendor" field has been added to Kafka connections. This includes support for one-way SSL authentication for the Schema Registry, providing an additional layer of security.
