Operate with UiPath for Coding Agents

A coding agent with UiPath skills installed can drive most operational tasks across UiPath — folders, jobs, queues, assets, audit logs, connections, and more — through natural-language asks. It runs uip against your logged-in session, scoped by the context you give it. This page covers what to ask for, what to expect, and where the boundaries are.

For setup (installing the agent, logging in, installing skills), see Using UiPath CLI with Coding Agents.

Pré-requisitos

1. UiPath skills installed for your agent. See Using UiPath CLI with Coding Agents for the install command per agent.
2. A logged-in session (uip login).
3. Folder access for whichever Operate scope you want to act on — the agent inherits your permissions.

What the agent can do

Each row groups one Operate sub-domain. The agent picks the right uip or, uip resource, uip solution, or uip is commands from the installed skills — you state the outcome, not the command.

Area	What the agent can do	Example ask
Folders & access	List, create, nest, move, delete folders; assign users and roles	"Add [e-mail] to Finance as Automation User"
Users, roles, permissions	Inspect role grants, create/edit/delete roles, list permissions, see who has access to what	"Which folders does [e-mail] have access to, and with what roles?"
Licenças	Inspect allocations across users and robots, reassign, reclaim unused	"Reclaim Studio licenses from users who haven't logged in for 90 days"
Machines & runtimes	List machines, inspect runtimes available in a folder	"What runtimes are currently available in Production?"
Sessões	List active robot sessions, see which machine each is on, disconnect stuck sessions	"Show all running unattended sessions in Production and how long they've been active"
Processes & packages	Upload packages, list versions, create or update process releases; manage package feeds	"Publish version 2.3.0 of InvoiceBot to Finance"
Soluções	Publish, upload, deploy, activate; list deployed versions across tenants and folders	"Deploy v1.4 of the invoice processing solution to Accounting in the staging tenant"
Trabalhos	Start, stop, monitor, fetch execution logs and attachments, group by state	"List every faulted job from yesterday in Production and show their error messages"
Ativos	List, get, create, update, delete assets across folders	"Copy all assets from folder A to folder B"
Armazenamentos de Credenciais	List, create, update, delete vault integrations; rotate referenced credentials	"Which assets in Production still reference the old CyberArk store?"
Queues & queue items	Inspect queue depth, push items, bulk-update statuses	"Which queues have more than 100 NewItems right now?"
Storage buckets & files	Create buckets, upload, download, list, delete files	"Download every file from bucket reports/ modified in the last 7 days"
Bibliotecas	Publish, list versions, manage releases	"Show all versions of the Email.Utilities library in the tenant feed"
Gatilhos	Create time, queue, and event triggers; manage calendars; list runs; inspect history	"Show me the last 10 runs of triggers for the HR onboarding solution"
Webhooks	Create, list, test	"List all active webhooks and the events they listen to"
Conexões do Integration Service	List, test, refresh, troubleshoot OAuth tokens; check connection health	"Test every Salesforce connection in Production and report which ones are failing"
Logs de Auditoria	Filter by user, component, action, date range	"Who deleted the Finance folder last month?"

Read vs. write

The agent treats Operate operations in two tiers:

• Read operations — list, get, logs, audit-logs and similar. The agent runs these on its own judgement.
• Write operations — anything that creates, updates, or deletes. The agent should confirm with you before running.

State your expectation up front when an ask is complex. For instance: "Clean up unused process packages, but show me the list first."

Authorization and scope

The agent acts as the logged-in uip session — it inherits your permissions exactly. If you can do something in the UiPath UI with your account, the agent can do it; if you cannot, neither can the agent.

The agent also honors folder context. Operations scope to a specific folder unless you say "across all folders" or similar. If you change folders mid-conversation, restate the scope.

For service-identity work (CI/CD, scheduled audits), have the agent run against an External App session — see Flow 2 in Authentication.

Common multi-step patterns

These are the patterns where coding agents save the most time — multi-step asks that would otherwise mean chaining several CLI invocations by hand.

Triage faulted jobs

"Triage every faulted job in Production from the last 24 hours. Group by error message and show the top 5 root causes."

The agent lists jobs filtered by state and time, fetches logs for each, groups by error signature, and presents a ranked summary. You then decide which to retry.

Promote between tenants

"Promote the invoice processing solution from the dev tenant to the staging tenant. Deploy it under the Accounting folder."

The agent pulls the solution from the dev tenant, switches session to the staging tenant, and deploys it into the Accounting folder. It confirms each tenant switch before acting.

Assign a user to folder

"Assign [e-mail] as Automation User to the Accounting folder, and also assign the VM Machine."

The agent assigns the user to the folder with the Automation User role, then assigns the VM Machine to the same folder so the user can run unattended jobs against it.

Audit role grants

"Audit all roles assigned to external users (anyone with an @ outside our domain) and report which folders they can edit."

The agent lists users, filters by domain, expands each user's role grants per folder, and surfaces a structured report.
