hai-agent-api 0.1.3

Shared FastAPI surface for the H Agent Platform agents API

hai-agent-api

Shared FastAPI surface for the agents API. This package defines the HTTP routes, request/response models, and authentication dependencies. Your application supplies the backing logic by implementing the service protocols and passing them to create_router.

Install

uv pip install hai-agent-api

You also need an ASGI server to run locally, for example:

uv pip install "uvicorn[standard]"

Quick start

hai-agent-api does not ship a runnable server. Wire the router into your own FastAPI app and provide implementations for all five services.

app = FastAPI(title="agents-api", version="0.0.0")

services = Services(
    agents=StubService(),
    environments=StubService(),
    skills=InMemorySkillService(),
    sessions=StubService(),
    memories=StubService(),
)

app.include_router(
    create_router(
        services,
        config=ApiConfig(auth=AuthConfig(mode="local")),
    ),
    prefix="/api",
)

Run the server:

uvicorn app:app --reload --port 8000

Open the interactive docs at http://localhost:8000/docs. Skill endpoints are available under /api/v2/skills; unimplemented services return 501 Not Implemented.

Try a request

curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8000/api/v2/skills \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"name": "my-skill", "description": "Example", "body": "Do the thing."}' | jq

Service protocols

Implement these protocols (structural typing—no base class required) and pass them in a Services container:

Protocol	Router prefix	Responsibility
AgentServiceProtocol	/v2/agents	Agent catalog CRUD and spec resolution
EnvironmentServiceProtocol	/v2/environments	Environment catalog CRUD
SkillServiceProtocol	/v2/skills	Skill catalog CRUD
SessionServiceProtocol	/v2/sessions	Agentic session lifecycle, events, quota
MemoryServiceProtocol	/v2/memories	Per-org key/value memory (hidden from OpenAPI)

Full method signatures live in agent_api.services.protocols. Raise fastapi.HTTPException for expected client errors (404, 409, 422, etc.). Session creation may raise agent_api.exceptions.IdempotencyKeyConflict; the sessions router maps that to HTTP 422.

Configuration

ApiConfig controls router behaviour:

Field	Default	Purpose
long_poll_max_wait_for_seconds	60	Upper bound for long-poll on /sessions/{id}/changes
session_share_url_template	/share/api/v1/trajectories/{session_id}	Template for public share links
auth	AuthConfig(mode="platform")	How requests are authenticated (see below)

Authentication

Pass AuthConfig via ApiConfig.auth when calling create_router:

Mode	Use case	Behaviour
platform	Agent Platform (default)	Requires X-User-Sub and X-User-Org headers injected by the gateway; returns 401 when missing
local	Local development / standalone apps	Protected routes accept optional identity headers and fall back to default UUIDs when omitted

Local mode defaults:

Field	Default
default_user_id	00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001
default_org_id	00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002
default_email	[e-mail]

Override headers when you need a specific identity:

curl -s http://localhost:8000/api/v2/skills \
  -H 'X-User-Sub: 11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111' \
  -H 'X-User-Org: 22222222-2222-2222-2222-222222222222'

Agent Platform keeps the default platform mode—no change required in production wiring.

API layout

create_router returns a router with this structure:

/v2/sessions/...
/v2/memories/...
/v2/skills/...
/v2/environments/...
/v2/agents/...

Mount it under your chosen prefix (commonly /api, yielding /api/v2/...).
