# Visdom Control Plane

The Control Plane is the platform's shared administrative skeleton, a single place to manage projects and repositories, users and teams, **RBAC per project and repository** (the identity broker supplies authentication and general roles; the Control Plane holds the fine-grained permissions: who sees agent activity and configuration in which project), secrets, and an **opt-in mechanism per repository**, so an agent is enabled deliberately for named repositories rather than by default.

It is administration, not analytics. Session activity, cost, attribution and the audit trail are produced and served by AI Tracing, and every component exposes a REST API with a published OpenAPI specification, so an organisation that wants those numbers inside its own portal or reporting stack pulls them from the component that owns them.

## Visdom Machine CI (optional, outside the core)

For organisations where build time limits how fast agents can iterate, the platform offers a CI optimisation component: build caching, selective testing and Bazel-based acceleration. Agent iteration speed is bounded by build and test turnaround, so this matters most where a full build runs in tens of minutes.

The component is not required for the issue-to-pull-request flow and can be considered at a later stage.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.visdom.virtuslab.com/visdom-control-plane.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
