Splunk has announced the general availability of Agent Launchpad, a no-code feature in the Splunk AI Toolkit that lets security, IT, engineering, and network teams create and manage AI agents connected to Splunk data and approved tools.
Splunk announced the general availability of Agent Launchpad, a no-code feature for building AI agents inside the Splunk platform.
In a company blog post titled “Introducing Splunk Agent Launchpad,” Splunk said the new feature is intended to help security, IT, engineering, and network teams turn operational telemetry into agent-driven actions. The company described Agent Launchpad as a way to build AI agents directly in Splunk and trigger them from alerts, searches, and investigations.
Splunk’s documentation for AI Toolkit Agent Launchpad says users can build, run, review, and manage operational agents within Splunk. According to the same documentation, those agents can connect to Splunk data, Model Context Protocol tools, and approved external systems.
The feature is part of Splunk AI Toolkit 6.0.0. Splunk’s “What’s new in the AI Toolkit” release notes list Agent Launchpad as a new capability for building, running, reviewing, and managing operational agents directly in Splunk.
Splunk is positioning Agent Launchpad for teams that already use its platform to investigate alerts, monitor infrastructure, and analyze machine data. In its announcement, the company said the feature can be used by security operations, IT operations, engineering, and network teams.
The Splunk AI Toolkit documentation indicates that Agent Launchpad is not limited to drafting text responses. It is designed to let users connect agents to Splunk data and controlled tools so they can participate in operational workflows. Splunk says agents can be launched from alerts, searches, and investigations, which places the feature close to the day-to-day work of analysts and operators.
The Splunkbase listing for Splunk AI Toolkit also describes version 6.0.0 as adding agentic capabilities. According to that listing, the release supports creating AI agents, connecting MCP servers and knowledge bases, and building agentic workflows.
Splunk’s product documentation emphasizes management and review alongside agent creation. The AI Toolkit Agent Launchpad page says users can build, run, review, and manage agents, and that agents can connect to approved external systems.
That framing matters because enterprise AI agents often require access to sensitive data, infrastructure context, or administrative tools. Splunk’s sources do not claim that Agent Launchpad removes the need for human oversight. Instead, the official documentation presents the feature as a managed way to create agents inside the Splunk environment and connect them to selected data and tools.
The reference to Model Context Protocol support is also notable. MCP is an emerging approach for connecting AI systems with external tools and data sources through a common interface. Splunk’s documentation says Agent Launchpad can connect agents to MCP tools, which could make it easier for organizations to attach agents to existing systems while keeping those connections within configured boundaries.
Splunk’s announcement states that Agent Launchpad is generally available. The related Splunk AI Toolkit 6.0.0 release notes identify Agent Launchpad as part of that release, while the Splunkbase listing for the AI Toolkit describes the same release as adding agentic capabilities.
For Splunk customers, the practical impact is that AI agent creation is being brought into the same environment where many teams already handle searches, alerts, and investigations. The official materials describe Agent Launchpad as a no-code feature, suggesting that Splunk wants analysts and operations staff—not only developers—to be able to configure agents for recurring tasks.
Splunk’s sources stop short of making broad performance claims, such as guaranteed reductions in response time or staffing needs. The documented change is more specific: Splunk has added a generally available AI Toolkit feature for creating and managing operational agents connected to Splunk data, MCP tools, knowledge bases, and approved external systems.
