Deprecation Notice

This project is no longer receiving updates. The Aries Toolbox was an invaluable tool in helping to bootstrap the Aries Ecosystem by providing ways to interact with Agents in development. It was one of the earliest UIs to an agent and it helped shape our thinking of Agents, DIDComm, AnonCreds, and more.

While it served a critical role in the early days of the Aries project, the Aries Toolbox has worked itself out of a job. Today, we have a rich ecosystem of agents. It is no longer necessary to demonstrate DIDComm and Credential Issuance and Verification over DIDComm using the Toolbox because we can do it with any number of available Issuer, Verifier, and Holder agents.

There are some components of the Toolbox that remain relevant and valuable tools during Agent development, such as live composition of DIDComm messages and being able to analyze and inspect DIDComm messages in plaintext. These concepts will live on in other tools and projects.

Aries Toolbox

The Toolbox makes interacting with Aries Agent easier for developers and system administrators. Toolbox Modules provide user interface for protocols. Debugging information and details are included and visible.

The ToolBox uses the Discover Features Protocol to determine which protocols are supported by the connected agent, and will customize the menu of modules to match supported protocols.

The toolbox can connect to multiple agents simultaneously, each with it's own window. This makes it possible to manage multiple agents, either in production or in technical training exercises.

Project State

The structure of the project is well formed and ready for contribution.

Consult the Architecture and How Modules Work to learn more or contribute a new module.

Many of the included modules rely on administrative protocols that have not yet been through a thorough review. These protocols are supported for ACApy via an extension that can be loaded at runtime. As administrative protocols are reviewed, both the appropriate toolbox modules and the ACApy extensions will be updated.
