rossum-agent 1.1.4

AI agent toolkit for Rossum: document workflows conversationally, debug pipelines automatically, and enable agentic configuration of intelligent document processing.

Rossum Agent

AI agent for Rossum document processing. Debug hooks, deploy configs, and automate workflows conversationally.

[!NOTE] This is not an official Rossum project. It is a community-developed integration built on top of the Rossum API, not a product (yet).

Features

Capability	Description
Rossum MCP Integration	Full access to 67 MCP tools for document processing
Hook Debugging	Test hooks via native Rossum API endpoints
Deployment Tools	Pull, push, diff, copy configs across environments
Knowledge Base Search	AI-powered Rossum documentation search
Multi-Environment	Spawn connections to different Rossum environments
Skills System	Load domain-specific workflows on demand
Prompt Caching	Automatic cache_control on system prompt, tools, and conversation history for up to 90% input token cost reduction

Interfaces: REST API, Python SDK

--workers	both	Number of worker processes (default: 1)
--reload	uvicorn	Enable auto-reload for development

Python SDK

import asyncio
from rossum_agent.agent import create_agent
from rossum_agent.rossum_mcp_integration import create_mcp_connection

async def main():
    mcp_connection = await create_mcp_connection()
    agent = await create_agent(mcp_connection=mcp_connection)

    async for step in agent.run("List all queues"):
        if step.final_answer:
            print(step.final_answer)

asyncio.run(main())

Available Tools

The agent provides internal tools and access to 67 MCP tools via dynamic loading.

Internal Tools

File & Knowledge:

• write_file - Save reports, documentation, analysis results
• search_knowledge_base - Search Rossum docs with AI analysis (sub-agent)
• kb_grep - Regex search across Knowledge Base article titles and content
• kb_get_article - Retrieve full Knowledge Base article by slug

API Reference:

• elis_openapi_jq - Query Rossum API OpenAPI spec with jq
• elis_openapi_grep - Free-text search in API spec
• search_elis_docs - AI-powered search of API documentation

Formula:

• suggest_formula_field - Suggest formula field expressions via Rossum Local Copilot

Schema:

• create_schema_with_subagent - Create new schemas via Opus sub-agent
• patch_schema_with_subagent - Safe schema modifications via Opus

Deployment:

• deploy_pull - Pull configs from organization
• deploy_diff - Compare local vs remote
• deploy_push - Push local changes
• deploy_copy_org - Copy entire organization
• deploy_copy_workspace - Copy single workspace
• deploy_compare_workspaces - Compare two workspaces
• deploy_to_org - Deploy to target organization

Multi-Environment:

• spawn_mcp_connection - Connect to different Rossum environment
• call_on_connection - Call tools on spawned connection
• close_connection - Close spawned connection

Skills:

• load_skill - Load domain-specific workflows (rossum-deployment, schema-patching, schema-pruning, organization-setup, schema-creation, ui-settings, hooks, txscript, rules-and-actions, formula-fields, reasoning-fields)

Task Tracking:

• create_task - Create a task to track progress on multi-step operations
• update_task - Update a task's status (pending, in_progress, completed) or subject
• list_tasks - List all tracked tasks with current status

Dynamic MCP Tool Loading

Tools are loaded on-demand to reduce context usage. Use load_tool_category to load tools by category:

Category	Description
annotations	Upload, retrieve, update, confirm documents
queues	Create, configure, list queues
schemas	Define, modify field structures
engines	Extraction and splitting engines
hooks	Extensions and webhooks
email_templates	Automated email responses
document_relations	Export/einvoice links
relations	Annotation relations
rules	Schema validation rules
users	User and role management
workspaces	Workspace management

Categories are auto-loaded based on keywords in the user's message.
