mistralai-vibe-protocol 0.3.0

Vibe Protocol - event-sourced agentic orchestration

mistralai-vibe-protocol

SDK for the Task protocol — composable, observable, durable agentic orchestration.

Overview

mistralai-vibe-protocol is built around the Task, a single abstraction that unifies tools, agents, and workflows under one protocol. Every Task shares the same interface: input, output, streaming history updates, a terminal result event, and recursive subtask composition.

• One interface for everything: Tools, LLM agents, workflows, and sandboxed code are all Tasks
• Recursive composability: Tasks compose into observable trees at any depth
• Streaming observability: History updates stream as JSON patches, followed by one terminal task result
• Port/adapter design: Pluggable LLM backends via the CompletionModel protocol
• Durability-ready: TaskState is the complete checkpoint — serialize, store, resume

Quick Start

MISTRAL_API_KEY=<your-key> uv run python examples/demo_simple.py

Simple Agent with Tools

from mistralai.vibe.protocol import AgentTask, ToolTask, TaskState, PendingOutput, MessageEntry, MessageEntryPayload
from mistralai.vibe.protocol.patterns.completion.adapters.mistral import MistralAdapter

def add_numbers(a: float, b: float) -> str:
    return str(a + b)

completion = MistralAdapter(api_key=api_key)
add_tool = ToolTask(fn=add_numbers, name="add_numbers", description="Add two numbers")

agent = AgentTask(
    completion=completion,
    tasks={"add_numbers": add_tool},
    system_prompt="You are a helpful assistant.",
)

state = TaskState(
    id="demo",
    output=PendingOutput(),
    history=[MessageEntry(payload=MessageEntryPayload(role="user", content="What is 3 + 4?"))],
)

channel = await agent.run(state)
async for message in channel:
    # history_update events stream while the task runs,
    # then one terminal task_result carries the final TaskState.
    print(message)

Nested Agents (Subtask Delegation)

researcher = AgentTask(
    completion=completion,
    tasks={"search_web": search_tool},
    name="researcher",
    description="Research a topic using web search",
    system_prompt="Research the given topic, then summarize findings.",
    input_schema={"type": "object", "properties": {"topic": {"type": "string"}}},
)

orchestrator = AgentTask(
    completion=completion,
    tasks={"researcher": researcher},
    system_prompt="Delegate research to the 'researcher' tool, then synthesize.",
)

channel = await orchestrator.run(state)
async for message in channel:
    print(message)

The orchestrator LLM sees researcher as a tool. When it calls researcher(topic="quantum computing"), the runtime spawns a nested agent loop with its own LLM and tools. The parent receives structured output as a tool result.
