agentmesh_runtime 3.7.0

Public Preview — AgentMesh Runtime: Execution supervisor for multi-agent sessions with privilege rings, saga orchestration, and audit trails

AgentMesh Runtime

Execution supervisor for multi-agent sessions — privilege rings, saga orchestration, and governance enforcement

Part of the Agent Governance Toolkit

[!IMPORTANT] Public Preview — The agentmesh-runtime package on PyPI is a Microsoft-signed public preview release. APIs may change before GA.

---

Note: This package was renamed from agent-runtime to agentmesh-runtime to avoid a PyPI name collision with the AutoGen team's package. The agent-hypervisor package remains the canonical upstream implementation; agentmesh-runtime is a thin re-export wrapper for incremental import migration.

What is Agent Runtime?

Agent Runtime provides execution-level supervision for autonomous AI agents. While Agent OS handles policy decisions and AgentMesh handles trust/identity, Agent Runtime enforces those decisions at the session level:

• Execution Rings — 4-tier privilege model (Ring 0–3) controlling what agents can do at runtime
• Shared Sessions — Multi-agent session management with consistency modes (strict, eventual, causal)
• Saga Orchestration — Compensating transactions for multi-step agent workflows
• Kill Switch — Immediate termination with audit trail and blast radius containment
• Joint Liability — Attribution tracking across multi-agent collaborations
• Audit Trails — Hash-chained, append-only execution logs

Quick Start

pip install agentmesh-runtime

from hypervisor import Hypervisor, SessionConfig, ConsistencyMode

# Create the runtime supervisor
hv = Hypervisor()

# Create a governed session
session = await hv.create_session(
    config=SessionConfig(consistency_mode=ConsistencyMode.EVENTUAL)
)

# Execute with privilege enforcement
result = await session.execute(
    agent_id="researcher-1",
    action="tool_call",
    tool="web_search",
    ring=2  # restricted privilege ring
)
