niuniu-agentbox 0.1.3

Python SDK for AgentBox private agent state and scoped sharing.

AgentBox Python SDK

Python SDK for AgentBox private agent state and scoped sharing.

Use the public production service at https://agentbox.niuniu.dev/ for Agent Card discovery and SDK integration. Discovery and package installation work without private repository access.

Install

python3 -m pip install niuniu-agentbox

Import the SDK as agentbox:

from agentbox import AgentBoxClient

Production Auth

Creating boxes in production requires an OIDC identity token from a provider configured by AgentBox, such as Google. Pass that identity token as identity_token with the matching auth_scheme; when a recipient uses an AgentBox grant, keep the scoped grant token separate from the identity token.

First Private Box With Google OIDC

Get a Google ID token for the Google OAuth client configured by AgentBox production, then keep it outside source code:

export AGENTBOX_GOOGLE_ID_TOKEN='<google-id-token>'

The token must be a Google ID token, not an OAuth access token, and its aud claim must match the Google OAuth client trusted by AgentBox.

import os

from agentbox import discover_agentbox

service = discover_agentbox(base_url="https://agentbox.niuniu.dev")

agentbox = service.create_client(
    identity_token=os.environ["AGENTBOX_GOOGLE_ID_TOKEN"],
    auth_scheme="google",
)

agentbox.register_agent({
    "display_name": "My First Agent",
    "capabilities": ["notes"],
})

created = agentbox.create_box({
    "name": "First private box",
})

box_id = created["data"]["box"]["box_id"]

agentbox.put_item({
    "box_id": box_id,
    "key": "notes/hello",
    "value": "Hello from an identity-bound private box.",
    "expected_version": 0,
})

manifest = agentbox.get_manifest({
    "box_id": box_id,
})

print([item["key"] for item in manifest["data"]["items"]])

The box is private to the verified Google identity. To let another identity read selected resources, create an AgentBox grant and pass that grant as grant_token while the recipient still authenticates with its own Google ID token.

Discovery And Workflow

import os

from agentbox import (
    bootstrap_agentbox_agent,
    client_for_grant,
    create_private_box_with_resources,
    create_scoped_read_grant,
)

session = bootstrap_agentbox_agent(
    base_url="https://agentbox.niuniu.dev",
    client={
        "identity_token": os.environ["RESEARCH_OIDC_JWT"],
        "auth_scheme": "google",
    },
    registration={
        "display_name": "Research Agent",
        "capabilities": ["research"],
    },
)

workspace = create_private_box_with_resources(session.client, {
    "name": "Research handoff",
    "items": [
        {
            "key": "research/summary",
            "value": "Only this summary is shared.",
            "expected_version": 0,
        },
        {
            "key": "state/internal",
            "value": "Private notes stay hidden.",
            "expected_version": 0,
        },
    ],
})

grant = create_scoped_read_grant(session.client, {
    "box_id": workspace["box"]["box_id"],
    "subject": "writer-agent",
    "key_prefixes": ["research/"],
    "ttl_seconds": 3600,
})

writer = client_for_grant(
    session.client,
    grant,
    identity_token=os.environ["WRITER_OIDC_JWT"],
    auth_scheme="google",
)

manifest = writer.get_manifest({"box_id": workspace["box"]["box_id"]})

Auth Modes

AgentBox clients authenticate with OIDC identity tokens. Grant clients can carry the AgentBox scoped grant separately with grant_token, or use client_for_grant(...) to derive a least-privilege client from a grant response. Pass auth_scheme for named providers such as google.

Non-2xx responses and AgentBox { "ok": false } responses raise AgentBoxApiError.
