Agent Settings: LTI Links

LTI panel in the Edit Agent modal on the Links sub-tab, showing the LTI enable toggle, the Links, Keys, Tools and Tool Endpoints sub-tabs, and a table with a link name, its target link URI with copy button, and an edit action

Overview

The Links sub-tab of the LTI panel manages the launch link that lets this agent be opened from a Learning Management System. The caption on this sub-tab explains: "Create and manage the LTI link that lets this agent be launched from an LMS." Unlike keys and tools, which are platform-wide, the link belongs to this specific agent — it is the target the LMS points at so students land in this agent.

Each link has a name and an auto-generated Target Link URI (for example https://learn.iblai.org/lti/1p3/la...). That URI is the value you paste into your LMS (Canvas, Brightspace, Blackboard, or Moodle) as the LTI target link so that launching the placement opens this agent inside the course. An agent has a single LTI link: once one exists, the create action is no longer offered and the existing link is managed in place.

To reach this screen, open the Edit Agent modal, switch to the Integrations tab group (its sidebar lists Sandbox, Access, Tools, MCP, Datasets, API, LTI, and Embed), select LTI, and click the Links sub-tab. The panel header reads: "Manage LTI agent links, signing keys, tools, and platform endpoints." The LTI panel is admin-only.

Panel Reference

LTI enable toggle

The banner at the top of the LTI panel reads: "Let this agent be added to a Learning Management System (Canvas, Brightspace, Blackboard or Moodle) so students can open it right inside their course. When on, create the links, signing keys, and tools your LMS needs below." The toggle controls whether LTI launches are allowed for this agent — the same setting as Enable LTI launches in the agent's Settings. Creating a link requires it to be on.

Sub-tab bar

Four sub-tabs organize the LTI panel: Links (this sub-tab), Keys (platform-wide signing keys), Tools (registered LMS platforms), and Tool Endpoints (the fixed URLs to give your LMS).

Links table

The agent's LTI link is a row with:

NAME — the link's display name (for example "Intro to course creator"), chosen when the link is created and editable afterwards.
TARGET LINK URI — the auto-generated launch URL for this agent, shown truncated with a copy button so it can be copied in full.
ACTIONS — a pencil (edit) button that opens the link for renaming.

When no link exists yet, the sub-tab shows an empty state with a create button; filling in a name and submitting generates the link and its target URI.

How to Use

Step 1: Open the Links sub-tab

In the Edit Agent modal, go to Integrations → LTI. The Links sub-tab is the default. Make sure the LTI toggle at the top of the panel is on.

Step 2: Create the link

If the agent has no link yet, use the create action, enter a descriptive name, and submit. The link appears in the table with its generated Target Link URI. (Each agent has one LTI link.)

Step 3: Copy the Target Link URI

Click the copy button next to the URI. In your LMS, use this value as the placement's target link URI when adding the tool to a course.

Step 4: Complete the LMS side

The link works together with the rest of the LTI configuration: register the LMS on the Tools sub-tab (issuer, client ID, and a signing key from Keys) and give the LMS the fixed URLs from Tool Endpoints. Once both sides are registered, launching the placement in the LMS opens this agent inside the course.

Step 5: Rename when needed

Click the pencil icon to rename the link — for example to match the course or placement it serves. The target URI itself is generated by the platform.
