Grounding and sources

Why an AgentBag answer can name the page it came from — and what "published" means.

Every agent answer is assembled from the owner’s published leaves — the documents, uploads, and crawled pages the owner chose to ship. The agent quotes those leaves and cites them; it does not free-associate from the open internet.

The lifecycle of a leaf

  • Draft — exists in the catalog, editable, invisible to visitors.
  • Indexed — embedded and searchable inside the workspace.
  • Published — part of the agent’s ground truth; can appear in answers.

Editing a published leaf takes it back out of the grounding set until it is published again. An agent that "forgot" something is usually holding an edited leaf that was never republished.
