Custom Rovo agent access to custom content

[Habib ZOUARI]

I've created a custom Rovo agent in Forge app installed in confluence workspace. As I know Atlassian built-in Rovo agents can access and retrieve confluence page/space content automatically, so I want to know if it's possible that my custom Rovo agent would have the same or not , or if there are specific configurations, permissions or whatever needed to reach that. I'm asking that because I tried to use my custom agent with some confluence tasks and mostly the agent didn't respond properly.

Also, I want to know if this custom agent is able to access custom content , means that I need the agent to manipulate some tasks inside my custom content app

Welcome to the community @Habib ZOUARI Custom Rovo agents don’t get automatic access to all Confluence content. They can only use the knowledge sources you attach and whatever your Forge app passes in, and your app must have the proper scopes to read those spaces or pages. They also can’t access custom app data unless your Forge app retrieves it and includes it in the prompt. If responses seem incomplete, it usually means required spaces weren’t added as knowledge or the app lacks read permissions.

Thank you for your response! @Dr Valeri Colon _Connect Centric_ 

 How do I attach knowledge sources (Confluence spaces/pages/or even customcontent) to my custom Rovo agent? Is this done through:

1. The manifest file configuration?
2. The Rovo admin panel at admin.atlassian.com?
3. Or programmatically through the Forge API?

Could you please point me to documentation or provide an example of how to attach Confluence spaces as knowledge sources to a custom Forge Rovo agent?

Great questions, @Habib ZOUARI For custom Rovo agents built in Forge, knowledge sources aren’t attached in the manifest or via API today. They’re added the same way you configure knowledge for any other agent. Go to admin.atlassian.com → Rovo → Agents → Knowledge and attach the spaces or pages you want. Custom app data isn’t indexed automatically, so your Forge app must retrieve that content and pass it into the agent.
