bog-agents-daemon 0.7.4

Ambient agent daemon for bog-agents — run agents on schedules, file-change triggers, webhooks, and git pushes

bog-agents-daemon

Quiet ambient runner for bog-agents. Schedules. File watches. Inbound webhooks. Git pushes. Sits in the background, fires the agent when something happens, writes the result wherever you point it.

No terminal needed. No hand-holding. Goes the distance.

Five trigger types. Seven output targets. A small authenticated REST API. POSIX and Windows. HMAC-validated inbound webhooks. os.fsync()-durable job persistence so a hard kill never loses a freshly-created job.

Triggers: cron · interval · file_change · webhook · git_push Outputs: log · stdout · file · slack · webhook · email · github_comment

Install

pip install bog-agents-daemon

# Or with uv
uv tool install bog-agents-daemon

Requires Python 3.11+ and a running Bog Agents installation (bog-agents>=0.7.0).

---

Quick Start

# 1. Start the daemon (runs on localhost:7391 by default)
bog-agents-daemon

# 2. Or manage it via the bog-agents CLI
bog-agents daemon start
bog-agents daemon status

# 3. Create a job (cron trigger, every day at 9 AM)
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:7391/jobs \
  -H "X-Daemon-Token: $(cat ~/.bog-agents/daemon/token)" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "daily-standup",
    "prompt": "Summarize recent git commits and open PRs",
    "triggers": [{"type": "cron", "cron": "0 9 * * 1-5"}],
    "outputs": [{"target": "log"}]
  }'

---

Install as a System Service

The daemon can auto-register itself as a background service that starts on login:

# Linux (systemd)
bog-agents daemon install
systemctl --user enable --now bog-agents-daemon

# macOS (launchd)
bog-agents daemon install
# daemon starts automatically at login

---

Trigger Types

Trigger	Config key	Description
cron	cron: "0 9 * * 1-5"	Standard 5-field cron expression
interval	interval_seconds: 3600	Every N seconds
file_change	watch_dir, watch_patterns	Any matched file modified
webhook	webhook_path: "/hooks/deploy"	POST to /webhooks/<path>
git_push	git_branch_pattern: "main"	Git post-receive hook fires
manual	—	POST /jobs/{id}/run

---

Output Targets

Target	Description
log	Daemon log (default)
file	Append/overwrite a local file
email	Send via SMTP
slack	Post to a Slack incoming webhook
github_comment	Comment on a GitHub issue or PR
webhook	POST JSON to any URL
stdout	Print to daemon stdout

---

REST API

The daemon exposes a REST API on http://127.0.0.1:7391 (localhost only). Most endpoints require the X-Daemon-Token header. Two exceptions:

• /ready — readiness probe, no auth.
• /webhooks/{path} — inbound from external services. Auth is the per-trigger webhook_secret HMAC over X-Hub-Signature-256 (timing-safe). The daemon token also works on /webhooks/{path} if you happen to have it; useful for local CLI tests.

TOKEN=$(cat ~/.bog-agents/daemon/token)

# Health
curl -H "X-Daemon-Token: $TOKEN" http://localhost:7391/health

# Readiness probe (no auth)
curl http://localhost:7391/ready

# OpenAPI 3.0 schema (for clients like Swagger UI)
curl http://localhost:7391/openapi.json

# List jobs
curl -H "X-Daemon-Token: $TOKEN" http://localhost:7391/jobs

# Create job
curl -X POST -H "X-Daemon-Token: $TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"my-job","prompt":"...","triggers":[...],"outputs":[...]}' \
  http://localhost:7391/jobs

# Trigger manually
curl -X POST -H "X-Daemon-Token: $TOKEN" http://localhost:7391/jobs/{id}/run

# View run history
curl -H "X-Daemon-Token: $TOKEN" http://localhost:7391/jobs/{id}/runs

# Enable/disable
curl -X POST -H "X-Daemon-Token: $TOKEN" http://localhost:7391/jobs/{id}/enable
curl -X POST -H "X-Daemon-Token: $TOKEN" http://localhost:7391/jobs/{id}/disable

# Delete
curl -X DELETE -H "X-Daemon-Token: $TOKEN" http://localhost:7391/jobs/{id}

---

Git Push Triggers

Install a git post-receive hook to fire jobs on push:

# Via bog-agents CLI (recommended)
bog-agents daemon install-git-hook --repo /path/to/repo

# Or via daemon CLI
bog-agents-daemon install-git-hook --repo /path/to/repo

The hook POSTs {"ref": "refs/heads/main", "new_sha": "...", "old_sha": "..."} to /webhooks/git-push. Jobs with type: git_push and a matching git_branch_pattern will fire.

---

Environment Variables

Variable	Default	Description
BOG_DAEMON_AGENT_TIMEOUT	1800	Max seconds per agent run
BOG_DAEMON_MAX_CONCURRENT_JOBS	5	Max parallel agent executions
BOG_DAEMON_MAX_RUNS_PER_JOB	100	Run files kept per job (older pruned)

---

Security

• API binds to 127.0.0.1 (localhost only) — not reachable from the network.
• Auth token stored at ~/.bog-agents/daemon/token (0600 on POSIX; on Windows the daemon also runs icacls /inheritance:r /grant <user>:F to drop inherited ACEs).
• Webhook secrets validated with HMAC-SHA256 via hmac.compare_digest — timing-safe, no token leaks.
• Daemon-token comparison also uses hmac.compare_digest.
• File output restricted to $HOME, the system temp dir, the current working directory, and the job's working_dir (path traversal guard). Relative file paths are anchored to working_dir.
• API responses redact smtp_password, github_token, and webhook_secret to '***' — they're persisted in jobs.json for runtime use but never echoed back through HTTP, even with a valid token.
• Git hook scripts use shlex.quote() to prevent shell injection.
• Job records and run records are written through os.fsync() before atomic-rename, so a hard kill never loses a freshly-created job.
