## Procedures

- `ValidateAgent(var TempAgent: Record "Agent" temporary; var TempAccessControlBuffer: Record "Access Control Buffer" temporary; var TempAllProfile: Record "All Profile" temporary; var TempUserSettings: Record "User Settings" temporary; Instructions: Text)`: Validates the imported agent data for correctness and consistency.
- `AddAgentToBuffer(var TempAgent: Record "Agent" temporary; var TempAllProfile: Record "All Profile" temporary; Description: Text[250]; Instructions: Text)`: Adds the specified agent to the import buffer for later processing.
- `CreateAgent(var TempAgent: Record "Agent" temporary; var TempAccessControlBuffer: Record "Access Control Buffer" temporary; var TempAllProfile: Record "All Profile" temporary; var TempUserSettings: Record "User Settings" temporary; Description: Text[250]; Instructions: Text)`: Creates or update the agent in the system based on the import buffer settings.
- `CollectAgentsFromXml(InStream: InStream; var AgentImportBuffer: Record "Agent Import Buffer" temporary)`: Collects agents from the provided XML stream into the import buffer.
- `ImportSelectedAgents(InStream: InStream; var SelectedAgentBuffer: Record "Agent Import Buffer" temporary): List of [Guid]`: Imports agents from the provided XML stream, filtering by the selected agents in the buffer.
- `GetDiagnostics(var TempDiagnostic: Record "Agent Import Diagnostic" temporary)`: Gets the diagnostics reported during the import process.

Plus 17 local procedures.

## Calls

From the extracted call graph of BC29 (graphify-al on the snapshot checkout): calls whose target is known from a declared type or an `Object::"Name"` argument. Interface dispatch and calls through events are not counted, so the list is not complete.

- [Codeunit 4321 "Agent"](../codeunit/4321.md) (4 calls: `CreateAgent → SetProfile`, `CreateAgent → UpdateLocalizationSettings`, `ReplaceExistingAgent → SetDisplayName`, …)
- [Codeunit 4350 "Custom Agent Setup"](../codeunit/4350.md) (3 calls: `CreateAgent → CreateAgent`, `ReplaceExistingAgent → CreateCustomAgentSetup`, `ReplaceExistingAgent → UpdateAccessControl`)
- [Codeunit 4355 "Custom Agent Export"](../codeunit/4355.md) (3 calls: `CreateAgent → GetTelemetryCategory`, `ImportSelectedAgents → GetTelemetryCategory`, `ReplaceExistingAgent → GetTelemetryCategory`)
- [Codeunit 43 "Language"](../codeunit/43.md) (2 calls: `ValidateAgentLanguage → GetWindowsLanguageName`, `ValidateAgentLocale → GetWindowsLanguageName`)

## Called by

- [Codeunit 4351 "Custom Agents Wizard Setup"](../codeunit/4351.md) (3 calls: `ImportAgentFromSample → CollectAgentsFromXml`, `ImportAgentFromSample → ImportSelectedAgents`, `LoadDetails → CollectAgentsFromXml`)
- [Page 4356 "Agent Import Wizard"](../page/4356.md) (2 calls: `LoadAgentsFromXml → CollectAgentsFromXml`, `UpdateControlsForCurrentRecord → GetDiagnostics`)

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). The call sections above are our own, per object, from the BC29 call graph. For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "codeunit", object_name: "Custom Agent Import")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
