# open-web-agent-rs
Remote genaiscript host for integration into conversational AI applications.
> This application is actively being ported, expect breaking changes.


## Quickstart
```bash
git clone https://github.com/seemueller-io/open-web-agent-rs.git
bun i
bun run build
bun dev
```

```typescript
#!/usr/bin/env deno -A

const API_ROOT = "http://localhost:3006";

const sid = crypto.randomUUID();
// -------------------- 1.  Create the agent --------------------
const createAgentBody = {
    id: sid,
    resource: "web-search",
    parent: sid,
    payload: { input: "Who won the 2024 election in the US?" },
};

const createRes = await fetch(`${API_ROOT}/api/agents`, {
    method: "POST",
    headers: { "content-type": "application/json" },
    body: JSON.stringify(createAgentBody),
});


const raw = await createRes.text();
console.log({raw});
const {stream_url: streamId} = JSON.parse(raw);

console.log("Agent created with streamId:", streamId);

// -------------------- 2.  Listen to the SSE stream --------------------
const streamUrl = `${API_ROOT}${streamId}`;
const es = new EventSource(streamUrl);


es.onopen = (e) => {
    console.log("connected", e);
};

es.onmessage = (e) => {
    console.log("⟶", e.data);
};

es.onerror = (e) => {
    console.error("SSE error:", e);
    es.close();
};
```

### Disclaimer
This has not undergone a formal security assessment. You should do your own evaluation before using this.

### Features not included in this fork
- Capabilities API: Reports available agents via HTTP (useful for dynamic intent mapping)

### Planned Features
- Embed Model Context Protocol for client connectivity

## Documentation

Comprehensive documentation is available in the [docs](./docs) directory:

- [Installation Guide](./docs/installation.md) - How to install and set up the project
- [Configuration Guide](./docs/configuration.md) - Environment variables and configuration options
- [API Documentation](./docs/api.md) - API endpoints and usage examples
- [Authentication](./docs/tokens.md) - Authentication system documentation
- [Agents Guide](./docs/agents.md) - How to create and use agents
- [Input Documentation](./docs/input.md) - How input works for agents
- [Stream Data Format](./docs/streams.md) - How stream data is formatted for clients


### Setup
See [Installation](./docs/installation.md)

### How it works
1. A chat client specifies the URL to this host in their environment.
2. They send a request with their credentials to create a stream resource 

## Adding New Agents

This project allows you to create and integrate new agents that can perform various tasks. Here's how to add a new agent:

### 1. Create a GenAIScript File

Create a new `.genai.mts` file in the `packages/genaiscript/genaisrc/` directory. This file will contain the agent's logic.

Example structure of a GenAIScript file:

```typescript
import {SomeClient} from "@agentic/some-package";
import "./tools/some-tool.genai.mjs"

script({
    title: "your_agent_name",
    maxTokens: 8192,
    cache: false,
    tools: ["tool-name"],
});

def("USER_INPUT", env.vars.user_input);

$`You are an assistant that performs a specific task.
- Instruction 1
- Instruction 2
- Instruction 3`
```

### 2. Create a Rust Agent Function

Create a new Rust file in the `src/agents/` directory or add a function to an existing file. This function will be a wrapper that calls the GenAIScript file.

Example agent function:

```rust
use tokio::process::Child;
use tracing;

use crate::utils::utils::run_agent;

pub async fn agent(stream_id: &str, input: &str) -> Result<Child, String> {
    run_agent(stream_id, input, "./packages/genaiscript/genaisrc/your-agent.genai.mts").await
}
```

### 3. Register the Agent in the Module

Add your agent to the `src/agents/mod.rs` file:

```rust
pub(crate) mod your_module;
```

### 4. Register the Agent in the Webhook Handler

Add your agent to the match statement in the `use_agent` function in `src/handlers/agents.rs`:

```
// In the use_agent function
let cmd = match resource.as_str() {
    "web-search" => crate::agents::search::agent(agent_id.as_str(), &*input).await,
    "news-search" => crate::agents::news::agent(agent_id.as_str(), &*input).await,
    // Add your agent here
    "your-resource-name" => crate::agents::your_module::agent(agent_id.as_str(), &*input).await,
    _ => {
        tracing::error!("Unsupported resource type: {}", resource);
        return StatusCode::BAD_REQUEST.into_response();
    }
};
```

### 5. Configure Environment Variables

If your agent requires specific API keys or configuration, add them to the `ShimBinding` struct in `src/utils/utils.rs`.


### Fast Agent Development Workflow
1. Create script: create a new genaiscript script in `packages/genaiscript/genaisrc`
2. Setup a development executor: Map a package script in `package.json` to the script in step 1 following the existing examples
3. Iterate until agent is functional.
4. Follow the guide on adding a new agent to integrate it into the rust server.
