Introducing UiPath Functions — Python functions [Preview]

UiPath® Functions are now available in preview, starting with Python functions.

A function is a developer-native, platform-governed unit of compute: you write deterministic logic in code, package it as a standard .nupkg, publish it to Orchestrator, and invoke it from across the platform — a Maestro Service Task, the Run Job activity in Studio, the Orchestrator API, or a job trigger.

Python functions are authored with the uipath Python SDK and provide:

• Typed input and output (dataclass or pydantic model), exported as JSON Schema for variable binding on any invocation surface.
• Runtime access to Orchestrator resources — assets, buckets, queues, and connections — through the UiPath() client, with no secrets stored in code.
• Execution tracing through the @traced decorator, visible in job traces and Maestro dashboards.
• Local development and packaging through the uipath CLI (uipath init, uipath run, uipath pack, uipath publish).
