AgentField Python SDK

The AgentField SDK provides a production-ready Python interface for registering agents, executing workflows, and integrating with the AgentField control plane.

Installation

pip install agentfield

To work on the SDK locally:

git clone https://github.com/Agent-Field/agentfield.git
cd agentfield/sdk/python
python -m pip install -e .[dev]

Quick Start

from agentfield import Agent

agent = Agent(
    node_id="example-agent",
    agentfield_server="http://localhost:8080",
    dev_mode=True,
)

@agent.reasoner()
async def summarize(text: str) -> dict:
    result = await agent.ai(
        prompt=f"Summarize: {text}",
        response_model={"summary": "string", "tone": "string"},
    )
    return result

if __name__ == "__main__":
    agent.serve(port=8001)

AI Tool Calling

Let LLMs automatically discover and invoke agent capabilities across your system:

from agentfield import Agent, AIConfig, ToolCallConfig

app = Agent(
    node_id="orchestrator",
    agentfield_server="http://localhost:8080",
    ai_config=AIConfig(model="openai/gpt-4o-mini"),
)

@app.reasoner()
async def ask_with_tools(question: str) -> dict:
    # Auto-discover all tools and let the LLM use them
    result = await app.ai(
        system="You are a helpful assistant.",
        user=question,
        tools="discover",
    )
    return {"answer": str(result), "trace": result.trace}

# Filter by tags, limit turns, use lazy hydration
result = await app.ai(
    user="Get weather for Tokyo",
    tools=ToolCallConfig(
        tags=["weather"],
        schema_hydration="lazy",  # Reduces token usage for large catalogs
        max_turns=5,
        max_tool_calls=10,
    ),
)

Key features:

tools="discover" — Auto-discover all capabilities from the control plane
ToolCallConfig — Filter by tags, agent IDs, health status
Lazy hydration — Send only tool names/descriptions first, hydrate schemas on demand
Guardrails — max_turns and max_tool_calls prevent runaway loops
Observability — result.trace tracks every tool call with latency

See examples/python_agent_nodes/tool_calling/ for a complete orchestrator + worker example.

MiniMax Video Generation

Set an API key and choose a video model from the MiniMax video API documentation:

export MINIMAX_API_KEY="..."
export MINIMAX_VIDEO_MODEL="..."

The global API base is used by default. Set MINIMAX_BASE_URL to select a region:

export MINIMAX_BASE_URL="https://api.minimax.io/v1"
# China: https://api.minimaxi.com/v1

Use the minimax/ model prefix to route the request to the MiniMax media provider:

import os

from agentfield import Agent, AIConfig

app = Agent(
    node_id="video-agent",
    agentfield_server="http://localhost:8080",
    ai_config=AIConfig(
        video_model=f"minimax/{os.environ['MINIMAX_VIDEO_MODEL']}",
    ),
)

result = await app.ai_generate_video(
    "A camera moves through a futuristic city",
    duration=6,
    resolution="1080p",
)
result.videos[0].save("video.mp4")

Note: AIConfig(minimax_api_key=..., minimax_base_url=...) takes precedence over the MINIMAX_API_KEY / MINIMAX_BASE_URL environment variables when both are set.

Human-in-the-Loop Approvals

The Python SDK provides a first-class waiting state for pausing agent execution mid-reasoner and waiting for human approval:

from agentfield import Agent, ApprovalResult

app = Agent(node_id="reviewer", agentfield_server="http://localhost:8080")

@app.reasoner()
async def deploy(environment: str) -> dict:
    plan = await app.ai(f"Create deployment plan for {environment}")

    # Pause execution and wait for human approval
    result: ApprovalResult = await app.pause(
        approval_request_id="req-abc123",
        expires_in_hours=24,
        timeout=3600,
    )

    if result.approved:
        return {"status": "deploying", "plan": str(plan)}
    elif result.changes_requested:
        return {"status": "revising", "feedback": result.feedback}
    else:
        return {"status": result.decision}

Two API levels:

High-level: app.pause() blocks the reasoner until approval resolves, with automatic webhook registration
Low-level: client.request_approval(), client.get_approval_status(), client.wait_for_approval() for fine-grained control

See examples/python_agent_nodes/waiting_state/ for a complete working example.

See docs/DEVELOPMENT.md for instructions on wiring agents to the control plane.

Running several agents in one process (AgentMesh)

from agentfield import Agent, AgentMesh

writer = Agent(node_id="writer")
editor = Agent(node_id="editor")

@editor.reasoner()
async def revise(text: str) -> dict:
    return {"text": text.strip()}

@writer.reasoner()
async def draft(topic: str) -> dict:
    return await writer.call("editor.revise", text=f"Draft about {topic}")

AgentMesh([writer, editor]).run(port=8000)

AgentMesh v1 is offline-only. See the AgentMesh guide for mount layout, call_local, error behavior, and limitations.

Logging

AGENTFIELD_LOG_STDOUT controls the on-by-default structured JSON mirror. Set it to 0, false, no, or off to disable the mirror; execution-scoped records still dispatch to the control plane.
AGENTFIELD_LOG_MAX_LINE_BYTES defaults to 16384 bytes and clamps any integer below 256 to 256. It limits both captured stdout/stderr lines and structured-mirror records; non-integers use the default.
AGENTFIELD_LOGS_ENABLED controls stdout/stderr capture and the node logs endpoint only, not control-plane execution-log dispatch.
AGENTFIELD_LOG_LEVEL controls human-readable Python SDK logging and defaults to WARNING.

See the environment-variable reference and agent-node logs API for details.

Testing

./scripts/run_pytest.sh

To run coverage locally:

./scripts/run_pytest.sh --cov=agentfield --cov-report=term-missing

The wrapper sets a private PYTEST_DEBUG_TEMPROOT automatically so local runs and CI do not rely on pytest's predictable default temp directory layout.
