Unofficial starter for deterministic local contract testing in Foundry oriented workflows
I put together a small open source starter for a problem I kept wanting a cleaner answer to: how to test the TypeScript contract layer around a Foundry oriented workflow before deployment or later platform evaluation. Repo: https://github.com/vitron-ai/aip-foundry-themis-starter This is an unofficial example. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or maintained by Palantir. The repo is intentionally narrow. It uses one intake-triage workflow to show how to: shape a request payload validate raw agent or function output with runtime schemas normalize that output into a stable app-facing contract preserve telemetry like request ID, latency, retry count, and fallback usage export a local handoff artifact for later evaluation work It also includes deterministic local tests for failure modes like malformed JSON, missing fields, unsupported status values, and empty output, plus a small React demo and an OSDK-like seam showing where a real client co
Dynamically Generating Transform
Hi, I hope you are well. I am trying to dynamically make multiple output datasets based on a list of files paths I have. I managed to do this when I have the list of file paths written out manually. However i want to do this completely dynamic, by fetching the list of files. However can I do this? Because I’m not allowed to use the transform decorator. Is there anyway I can fetch information from a dataset, file, media set without using that decorator? Also I understand that in a production workflow this isn’t common as we normally define our datasets and schemas, however I was doing this for a specific use case and just wanted to know if it’s possible. Thanks Sam 5 posts - 2 participants Read full topic
Feature Request: Solution Designer — Sample Data Rows
Today in Solution Designer we can add custom columns (metadata) to a dataset, but we cannot populate example rows . It would be extremely helpful if Solution Designer allowed users to enter a few sample rows (like Excel) under those columns. This would make it much easier to: Communicate dataset structure Show example values Align stakeholders before building transforms Request: Allow Solution Designer datasets to include editable sample rows for columns (Excel-style preview data) (only need like 10 rows). 2 posts - 2 participants Read full topic

Question about the save behavior of Workflow Lineage
Hi everyone. Currently, Workflow Lineage provides a Save graph button, but the latest state is automatically saved even without explicitly clicking this button. This behavior is useful in cases such as accidentally closing the browser. However, it also means that even small, temporary changes—such as moving nodes slightly for explanation purposes—are saved automatically, which creates the need to manually revert them each time. Is there any plan to provide a Draft Save feature similar to the one available in Solution Design? 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic
Issues extracting rows from geojson files
Hi, I’ve imported several GeoJSON files (all from data.gov) into Foundry and have been trying to run transforms on them. Following the tutorials, I imported them as “Unstructured” and then used a series of transforms — including the “Prepare Geometry” transform — to properly format the geometry column. It seemed very straightforward, and I was able to get it working perfectly… but only with the exact same data file used in the tutorial. I have several other GeoJSON files I’d really like to use. The issue is that when I run the first transform ( “Extract Rows from JSON” ) and paste my GeoJSON into the text field to auto-generate the schema, it does a decent job overall but does not correctly parse the geometry field (and everything downstream from it). The feature to automatically generate the schema from a GeoJSON file is really nice in theory, but it doesn’t seem to work reliably most of the time. Am I doing something wrong? I’ve occasionally gotten it to work by manua
Issue Configuring Action In Workshop When Other Ontology Objects Exist
Hi All! I have built out an application in workshop and I am now trying to assign an action to a button group widget. I have the button set as On Click Action but when I go to the drop down to select an action there are no results. In a completly empty workshop app if I do the same thing with no other objects configured so just the button group all actions are visible and selected from the drop down. I have the Ontology that the action is created against as a object type in workshop but it seems as though as soon as I add any other Ontology objects to the object types field I am unable to use actions at all. If I configure the action against the button before adding anything else to workshop and continue building out the app the action appears to work completly fine. I strongly believe I am just missing something really simple as currently it would mean I have to start the workshop application from scratch every time I wanted to add a new action to it which just seems really
