Xano 1.70: Expanded AI Agent-Building + Audit Logs & Performance Insights

The latest version of Xano just dropped, and it includes some exciting updates to Xano Agents—an on-rails method of building and deploying fully custom AI agents—along with Audit Logs and detailed Performance Insights to see what’s going on inside your workspace and any apps you’ve deployed. Plus, we now provide advanced data transformation capabilities that will make it even easier to customize your business logic without adding custom Lambdas or janky workarounds. Details below.

TL;DR

• Agents: Pass richer runtime context with a Messages Array, add Execution Triggers for pre‑run logic, Execute Tools directly (no Agent required), and share Agents via Snippets. Prompt Assistant lets you chat with AI to build your agent prompts using natural language.
• Enhanced Visibility: New Audit Logs for full accountability and Performance Insights that surface slow or inefficient operations automatically.
• Data Transformation: Six new visual, intrinsic functions—Map, Group By, Difference, Intersection, Union, Partition—to reshape arrays without loops or glue code.
• Now supporting the ability to deploy your instance to Switzerland!

Build Smarter with Governed Agents

Xano Agents bring intelligence into your backend without sacrificing control. In 1.70, Agents become more transparent, composable, and reusable—so you can design agentic workflows with confidence.

Pass Richer Context with a Messages Array

Previously, shaping an Agent’s behavior meant editing its System and User prompts. Now, the Messages Array input on Run Agent lets you pass structured context at runtime—previous messages, session state, or task‑specific instructions—without touching prompt templates.

Why it matters: Agents handle more complex tasks, carry session memory, and continue post–human-in-the-loop steps with full awareness of prior context.

Add Control Logic with Execution Triggers

Not every Agent should run the same way for every user. Execution Triggers let you add logic before the Agent runs—check roles, modify the Messages Array, or adjust which Tools are available.

Why it matters: Apply role-based access and conditional policies without duplicating Agents or Tools.

Call Tools Directly (No Agent Required)

You can now invoke a Tool like a first-class function. The new Execute Tool intrinsic function runs a Tool directly—no Agent or MCP Server wrapper.

Why it matters: Reuse Tool logic anywhere in your backend, simplify flows, and avoid unnecessary orchestration.

Share Agents with Snippets

Agents are now included in Xano Snippets. Export an API Endpoint and its connected Agents and Tools are packaged automatically.

Why it matters: Share complete intelligent backend flows across Workspaces or with teammates—without manual re‑creation.

See More. Manage Better: New Audit Logs & Performance Insights

As teams grow and apps become more complex, visibility is as important as velocity. Xano 1.70 adds two major upgrades to improve observability and monitoring within the platform: Audit Logs and Performance Insights.

Stay Accountable with Audit Logs

Track every change in your Workspace—what changed, who changed it, and when—in a dedicated Audit Logs view alongside Middleware Reporting, Version History, and Trigger Reporting.

Why it matters: Troubleshoot issues, review team activity, and meet internal compliance requirements with a complete history of admin‑level actions in one place.

Surface Performance Bottlenecks Automatically

The new Performance Insights, available in the Library menu, highlights operations that may be causing slowdowns—like long‑running processors or inefficient logic stacks—so you know where to focus.

Why it matters: Stop guessing. Improve speed and reliability proactively before issues escalate.

A clearer view of your backend

• Review every change made across your team
• Identify and optimize performance hot spots
• Maintain governance without adding complexity

These tools are available to all Xano users—no additional configuration required. Check out Audit Logs→ and Performance Insights→

Transform Data Visually: New Array Functions

Advanced data shaping shouldn’t require loops or one‑off Lambdas. Xano 1.70 introduces five intrinsic array functions you can drop directly into your Function Stack for fast, clear, visual logic.

• Map – Transform the shape or value of each item using a single dot‑notation path.
  • Use it for: pulling values, normalizing fields, or reformatting data for frontend display.
• Group By – Organize an array into groups based on a shared key path.
  • Use it for: dashboards, tables, or branching logic that needs grouped outputs.
• Difference – Compare two arrays and return only the items missing from one.
  • Use it for: change detection, syncing datasets, or deduping across sources.
• Union – Merge two arrays and return unique items from both.
  • Use it for: consolidating results without writing merge conditions.
• Partition – Split an array into two: one that meets a condition, and one that doesn’t.
  • Use it for: quick branching, filtering, or conditional responses—all in one operation.

Built for visual development at scale. These functions are high‑performance, reusable, and available anywhere you build logic—Function Stacks, API Endpoints, Agents, and more.

No loops. No Lambdas. No workarounds. Just fast, visual transformations you can trust. Explore the new data functions →
