+## Transcript node filtering
+
+LangGraph streams `messages-tuple` chunks for every LLM node in a run. If your graph has side-effect LLM nodes, such as a title generator or evaluator, set `transcriptNodeNames` so only your conversational node updates `messages()`.
+
+```ts
+provideAgent({
+  apiUrl: 'https://api.example.com',
+  assistantId: 'support-agent',
+  transcriptNodeNames: ['generate'],

 ## Test transports
 
 `transport` is an object that implements `AgentTransport`, not an Angular class token. Create an instance before passing it to `provideAgent()`.
