session_manager = SQLiteSessionManager(
    session_id="chat-session-001",

)

# Use with Strands Agent
agent = Agent(
    session_manager=session_manager,
    # ... other config
)

Plugins

from strands_agents_extensions.plugins import BudgetPlugin, RateLimiterPlugin

# Add budget control to your agent
budget_plugin = BudgetPlugin(max_cost_per_session=10.0)

# Add rate limiting
rate_limiter = RateLimiterPlugin(model_calls_per_minute=60)

agent = Agent(
    plugins=[budget_plugin, rate_limiter],
    # ... other config
)

Development

Running Tests

This project uses Hatch for environment management and pytest for testing.

# Install Hatch if you don't have it
pip install hatch

# Run all tests
hatch run test

# Run with verbose output
hatch run test -v

# Run a specific test file
hatch run test tests/plugins/test_budget.py

# Run tests matching a pattern
hatch run test -k test_budget

If you already have a virtual environment with dev dependencies installed, you can run pytest directly:

pytest tests/
