Agent

Defined in: src/agent/agent.ts:183

Orchestrates the interaction between a model, a set of tools, and MCP clients. The Agent is responsible for managing the lifecycle of tools and clients and invoking the core decision-making loop.

new Agent(config?): Agent;

Defined in: src/agent/agent.ts:237

Creates an instance of the Agent.

ParameterTypeDescription
config?AgentConfigThe configuration for the agent.

Agent

readonly messages: Message[];

Defined in: src/agent/agent.ts:187

The conversation history of messages between user and assistant.

AgentData.messages


readonly state: AppState;

Defined in: src/agent/agent.ts:192

App state storage accessible to tools and application logic. State is not passed to the model during inference.

AgentData.state


model: Model;

Defined in: src/agent/agent.ts:198

The model provider used by the agent for inference.


optional systemPrompt: SystemPrompt;

Defined in: src/agent/agent.ts:203

The system prompt to pass to the model provider.


readonly name: string;

Defined in: src/agent/agent.ts:208

The name of the agent.


readonly agentId: string;

Defined in: src/agent/agent.ts:213

The unique identifier of the agent instance.


readonly optional description: string;

Defined in: src/agent/agent.ts:218

Optional description of what the agent does.

get tools(): Tool[];

Defined in: src/agent/agent.ts:353

The tools this agent can use.

Tool[]


get toolRegistry(): ToolRegistry;

Defined in: src/agent/agent.ts:360

The tool registry for managing the agent’s tools.

ToolRegistry

The tool registry for registering tools with the agent.

AgentData.toolRegistry

addHook<T>(eventType, callback): HookCleanup;

Defined in: src/agent/agent.ts:307

Register a hook callback for a specific event type.

Type Parameter
T extends HookableEvent
ParameterTypeDescription
eventTypeHookableEventConstructor<T>The event class constructor to register the callback for
callbackHookCallback<T>The callback function to invoke when the event occurs

HookCleanup

Cleanup function that removes the callback when invoked

const agent = new Agent({ model })
const cleanup = agent.addHook(BeforeInvocationEvent, (event) => {
console.log('Invocation started')
})
// Later, to remove the hook:
cleanup()

AgentData.addHook


initialize(): Promise<void>;

Defined in: src/agent/agent.ts:311

Promise<void>


invoke(args, options?): Promise<AgentResult>;

Defined in: src/agent/agent.ts:382

Invokes the agent and returns the final result.

This is a convenience method that consumes the stream() method and returns only the final AgentResult. Use stream() if you need access to intermediate streaming events.

ParameterTypeDescription
argsInvokeArgsArguments for invoking the agent
options?InvokeOptionsOptional per-invocation options

Promise<AgentResult>

Promise that resolves to the final AgentResult

const agent = new Agent({ model, tools })
const result = await agent.invoke('What is 2 + 2?')
console.log(result.lastMessage) // Agent's response

AgentBase.invoke


stream(args, options?): AsyncGenerator<AgentStreamEvent, AgentResult, undefined>;

Defined in: src/agent/agent.ts:421

Streams the agent execution, yielding events and returning the final result.

The agent loop manages the conversation flow by:

  1. Streaming model responses and yielding all events
  2. Executing tools when the model requests them
  3. Continuing the loop until the model completes without tool use

Use this method when you need access to intermediate streaming events. For simple request/response without streaming, use invoke() instead.

An explicit goal of this method is to always leave the message array in a way that the agent can be reinvoked with a user prompt after this method completes. To that end assistant messages containing tool uses are only added after tool execution succeeds with valid toolResponses

ParameterTypeDescription
argsInvokeArgsArguments for invoking the agent
options?InvokeOptionsOptional per-invocation options

AsyncGenerator<AgentStreamEvent, AgentResult, undefined>

Async generator that yields AgentStreamEvent objects and returns AgentResult

const agent = new Agent({ model, tools })
for await (const event of agent.stream('Hello')) {
console.log('Event:', event.type)
}
// Messages array is mutated in place and contains the full conversation

AgentBase.stream
