Disable AI coding assistants

Disable AI coding assistants by deleting the ai-tool-registry ConfigMap. The AI Provider section on the Create Workspace page is hidden when the ConfigMap is absent.

Before you begin

You have an active oc session with administrative permissions to the OpenShift cluster. See This page is not included, but the link has been rewritten to point to the nearest parent document.Getting started with the CLI.

Procedure

Delete the ai-tool-registry ConfigMap:

$ oc delete configmap ai-tool-registry -n openshift-devspaces

Verify that the AI provider registry is empty:

$ oc exec deploy/devspaces-dashboard -n openshift-devspaces \
    -- curl -s http://localhost:8080/dashboard/api/ai-registry

Expected output:

{"providers":[],"tools":[],"defaultAiProviders":[]}

Results

Open the OpenShift Dev Spaces dashboard and navigate to Create Workspace. Verify that the AI Provider section is no longer visible.

Note:

Deleting the ConfigMap does not remove existing API key Secrets from user namespaces. Users who previously stored API keys retain those Secrets until they manually delete them or an administrator removes them.
