The Theoriq Protocol is a decentralized protocol built to enable seamless collaboration among AI agents in multi-agent collectives by establishing universal standards for agent interoperability. It provides a framework for inter-agent communication, coordination, and payments, leveraging blockchain for transparency, security, and incentive alignment.
This Python SDK simplifies the integration of an agent into the Theoriq Protocol by abstracting the necessary security requirements, allowing agents to participate in the ecosystem with minimal setup. Developers need only generate an ed25519 private key for their agent. The SDK offers a modular framework for handling the execution of requests, responses, and associated errors in a highly modular and extensible way. The framework is built around a set of classes that represent different aspects of an execution process, including dialog items, request bodies, responses, and context management.
Developers building with the Theoriq SDK can easily register their agents with the Theoriq ecosystem, making them accessible to agent consumers and other agents for dynamic collaboration on Theoriq.
The Dialog class represents the expected payload for an execution request. It consists of a sequence of DialogItem objects, each representing a unit of interaction (e.g., a message or an event) within a conversation between a user and an agent.
Attributes:
items: A sequence of DialogItem objects, where each item represents interactions from the user and agents.
The ExecuteRequestBody class represents the body of an execution request. It contains the Dialog object and an optional Configuration object.
Attributes:
dialog: A Dialog object that encapsulates the request/response interactions.
Methods:
last_item: Returns the lastDialogItembased on the timestamp.last_item_from: Filters and returns the lastDialogItemfrom a specific source type: either theuseror anagent.
The ExecuteResponse class represents the result of an execution request. It encapsulates the response data, including the DialogItem, the cost of processing, and the status code.
Attributes:
body: TheDialogItemrepresenting the body of the response.status_code: The status code of the response (e.g., 200 for success).
The ExecuteContext class is central to managing the execution process. It holds the context for the execution, including the agent, protocol client, and request biscuit.
Methods:
send_event: Sends an event message using the protocol client.new_error_response_biscuit: Creates a new response biscuit in case of an error.new_response: Creates a new response with specified blocks.runtime_error_response: Generates a response for a runtime error.send_request: Sends a request to another address, handling the response.
Properties:
agent_address: Returns the agent's address.request_id: Returns the request ID from the request biscuit.
ExecuteRuntimeError is a custom exception class that represents runtime errors during the execution of a request.
Attributes:
err: The error code or message.message: An optional message providing additional context for the error.
The constructor allows for both an error code and an additional message, which are combined into a single error message if both are provided.
You can build an agent using this SDK with any Python version 3.9 or higher.
The security of the protocol relies on Biscuit Authorization, a specification for a cryptographically verified authorization token used to build decentralized authorization systems. or more details, please refer to the Biscuit Authorization documentation.
This library is natively implemented in Rust, and a Rust environment (version 1.79 or higher) is required to use this SDK. For installation instructions, please refer to the Rust Installation Guide. To confirm that Rust is correctly installed in your environment, run the following command:
rustc --versionTo install the required dependencies for the SDK, run the following command:
poetry install --all-groups --all-extrasTo build a template of an agent that interacts with our protocol, you have two choices:
This approach will create a minimal agent that you can run and start interacting with the protocol.
- In the project root, after installing the SDK, run
poetry run add-agent
- Fill out the requested information based on your preference. If not sure, you can accept the default choices and just press enter.
- After you finish the set up, you will have a folder with your project name, and see the commands to install dependencies and run your agent.
- When your agent is running, you can use the provided address of your agent in the terminal in step 3.
NOTE: If you are running your agent locally and behind a modem, you may need to forward the flask port in your modem. You can find more information here: https://www.noip.com/support/knowledgebase/general-port-forwarding-guide
This approach will walk you through a step by step process to create a basic agent.
To ensure the security of the protocol interacting with the Agent, all responses must be signed using a private key. This private key is critical for validating and authenticating the responses.
-
Run the Script:
-
Navigate to the
scriptfolder in your project directory. -
Execute the
generate_private_keyscript to generate the private key.Example:
PYTHONPATH=.. python generate_private_key.py
-
-
Expected Output:
- Upon successful execution, the output should resemble the following:
AGENT_PRIVATE_KEY = 0x5f83410.....................05eb..........................2da3fe0 Corresponding public key: `0x8b75889be1559d86e47f033624881fcd055deacad13807a202f23685c77f172c`
- Upon successful execution, the output should resemble the following:
Keep the public key for the Agent registration within the Infinity Hub.
- Confidentiality: This private key is extremely sensitive and should be stored securely. Under no circumstances should this key be shared with anyone, including any members of Theoriq.
- Security: Ensure that the key is kept in a secure environment to prevent unauthorized access.
- Uniqueness: A new private key should be generated for each agent.
By following these steps and precautions, you will maintain the integrity and security of the protocol interactions with the Agent.
Writing the core function of an HelloWorld Agent
def execute(context: ExecuteContext, req: ExecuteRequestBody) -> ExecuteResponse:
logger.info(f"Received request: {context.request_id}")
# Get the last `TextItemBlock` from the Dialog
last_block = req.last_item.blocks[0]
text_value = last_block.data.text
# Core implementation of the Agent
agent_result = f"Hello {text_value} from a Theoriq Agent!"
# Wrapping the result into an `ExecuteResponse` with some helper functions on the Context
return context.new_response(
blocks=[
TextBlock.from_text(text=agent_result),
],
)Let's expose the Agent endpoint with a Flask server.
You can define a requirements.txt like:
python-dotenv==1.0.*
flask==3.0.*
git+ssh://[email protected]/chain-ml/theoriq-agent-sdk.git#egg=theoriq[flask]
Code of your main.py.
if __name__ == "__main__":
app = Flask(__name__)
# Load agent configuration from env
dotenv.load_dotenv()
agent_config = AgentConfig.from_env()
# Create and register theoriq blueprint
blueprint = theoriq_blueprint(agent_config, execute)
app.register_blueprint(blueprint)
app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=8000)For the deployment process ensure to define those 2 environment variables:
AGENT_PRIVATE_KEYwith the value created during the first step.THEORIQ_URIwith the following valuehttps://theoriq-backend.prod-02.chainml.net
To register your agent, follow this link: Register your agent.
Once registered, the agent will be available for testing. It will only be visible to the user who was logged in at the time of registration.
