agentic-graphs 0.2.2

Graph-native framework for building AI agents with FalkorDB persistence

agentic-graphs

Graph-native framework for building AI agents with persistent execution state.

Every agent's execution is a directed graph—GOAL → TASK → ACTION → SYNTHESIS. Persistence is backed by FalkorDB, so you can inspect the full state of every agent at http://localhost:3000.

• 🚀 Built-in tool pipeline — agents don't hallucinate; they mutate graphs explicitly
• 🔄 Multi-turn chat — sessions preserve full context across turns
• 🤝 Multi-agent patterns — subagents, skills, handoffs, routers all share the parent graph
• 💾 Persistent execution — every node, edge, and message is queryable in FalkorDB
• 🧠 Semantic memory — cross-turn reasoning with embeddings

Installation

Via pip (stable)

pip install agentic-graphs

Via uv (development)

uvx agentic-graphs  # or
uv add agentic-graphs

Optional dependencies

# Use other LLM providers
pip install agentic-graphs[anthropic,gemini,groq]  # or [all]

# Development
pip install agentic-graphs[dev]

Quick Start

1. Set up FalkorDB (one-time)

docker run -d -p 6379:6379 -p 3000:3000 --name falkordb falkordb/falkordb:latest

Then open http://localhost:3000 to inspect agent state.

2. Create your first agent

import asyncio
from agentic_graphs import Agent, OpenAILLM, tool

@tool
def add(a: float, b: float) -> float:
    """Add two numbers."""
    return a + b

@tool
def multiply(a: float, b: float) -> float:
    """Multiply two numbers."""
    return a * b

class MathAgent(Agent):
    """Simple math agent with custom tools."""
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self._extra_action_tools = {"add": add, "multiply": multiply}
        self._extra_action_schemas = [add.schema, multiply.schema]

    def build_tools(self, node):
        schemas, impls = super().build_tools(node)
        schemas += self._extra_action_schemas
        impls.update(self._extra_action_tools)
        return schemas, impls

async def main():
    llm = OpenAILLM(model="gpt-4o-mini")
    agent = MathAgent(llm, "What is (17 * 3 + 42) / 9?")
    result = await agent.run()
    print(f"Answer: {result}")

asyncio.run(main())

3. Multi-turn chat sessions

from agentic_graphs.session import Session
from agentic_graphs.core.falkordb_backend import FalkorDBBackend

async def chat():
    session = await Session.create(
        llm=OpenAILLM(model="gpt-4o-mini"),
        agent_class=MathAgent,
        backend=FalkorDBBackend(),
        thread_name="math-session",
        user_id="alice",
    )

    # Each turn builds a fresh graph, history is auto-injected
    reply = await session.chat("What is 5 * 8?")
    print(reply)

    reply = await session.chat("Add 10 to that result")
    print(reply)

    # Resume later by thread ID
    session = await Session.create(..., thread_id=session.thread_id)

Run Examples

# Math agent (single-turn)
uv run python -m agentic_graphs.examples.math_agent "What is 15 + 27?"
uv run python -m agentic_graphs.examples.math_agent --chat  # Interactive

# Multi-turn chat session
uv run python -m agentic_graphs.examples.chat_session

# Multi-agent with subagents (research + math)
uv run python -m agentic_graphs.examples.multi_agent_demo

# Session debugger — inspect execution graphs
uv run python -m agentic_graphs.examples.debug_session
uv run python -m agentic_graphs.examples.debug_session --thread <thread-id>

Open http://localhost:3000 to see the graph state in real-time.

Core Concepts

Graph Nodes

Every agent execution builds a directed graph. Node types and states:

GOAL → TASK → ACTION → SYNTHESIS → (resolved)
  ↓
 (pending/ready/active/resolved/failed)

• GOAL — user's request
• TASK — sub-goal decomposition
• ACTION — tool calls (mutations, external APIs)
• SYNTHESIS — final answer generation

Built-in Tools

Agents automatically have:

• create_task(label, ...) — create a TASK node
• create_action(label, instruction) — create an ACTION node
• resolve_current_node(output) — mark node as RESOLVED
• add_dependency(waiting, prereq) — set up blocking edges
• get_token_usage() — retrieve accumulated token costs

ACTION nodes also get your custom tools (e.g., add, multiply).

Multi-Agent Patterns

Subagents — delegate to child agents in sub-GOAL nodes:

agent.register_subagent(
    "researcher",
    agent_class=ResearchAgent,
    description="Research any topic",
)

Skills — progressive disclosure of domain tools:

agent.register_skill(
    "web_search",
    tools=[search.schema],
    tool_fns={"search": search},
    description="Search the web",
)

Handoffs — state-driven agent switching:

if "financial" in task:
    await agent.handoff_to("financial_analyst")

Supported LLM Providers

• ✅ OpenAI — gpt-4o, gpt-4o-mini, gpt-4-turbo, gpt-5
• ✅ Anthropic — claude-sonnet-4, claude-opus
• ✅ Google Gemini — gemini-2.0-flash, gemini-pro
• ✅ Groq — mixtral, llama
• ✅ Ollama — local models
• ✅ Azure OpenAI

Switch providers with:

from agentic_graphs import AnthropicLLM, GeminiLLM

llm = AnthropicLLM(model="claude-sonnet-4")
llm = GeminiLLM(model="gemini-2.0-flash")

Token Usage Tracking

Each node tracks cumulative token costs:

agent = Agent(llm, goal)
result = await agent.run()

# Check usage on any node
for node_id, node in agent.graph.nodes.items():
    usage = node.props.get("_usage", {})
    print(f"{node.label}: {usage.get('total_tokens')} tokens")

Architecture

Graph Model:

• Every agent owns a Graph object
• Nodes have states: PENDING → READY → ACTIVE → RESOLVED | FAILED
• Edges define dependencies: REQUIRES (blocking), PART_OF (structural), PRODUCES (data)

Scheduler:

• Processes nodes in dependency order
• Auto-retries failed nodes with exponential backoff
• Persists state to FalkorDB on every mutation

Backend:

• FalkorDB stores all nodes, edges, messages as queryable graphs
• Each turn is a separate graph; sessions maintain history
• Semantic search finds similar prior problems for transfer learning

See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for deep dive.

Using FalkorDB directly

from agentic_graphs import FalkorDBBackend, Graph, Node, NT

backend = FalkorDBBackend(graph_name="my_agent")

# Push
backend.sync(my_graph)

# Pull
restored = backend.load("my_agent")

# Query
result = backend.query("MATCH (n:GOAL) RETURN n.label, n.state")
for row in result.result_set:
    print(row)

# Auto-sync every mutation
from agentic_graphs import set_sync_hook
set_sync_hook(lambda g: backend.sync(g))
