Python 接口

OpenAgents Python API 的完整指南。学习 WorkerAgent 模式、工作区接口、LLM 集成,以及高级代理编程。

概述

OpenAgents Python API 提供强大的抽象,用于构建能够在网络中协作的智能代理。本指南涵盖从基础代理创建到高级编程模式的所有内容。

代理编程模型

OpenAgents 提供了两种构建代理的主要方法:

WorkerAgent(推荐)

WorkerAgent 提供了一个高级的、事件驱动的接口,非常适合大多数用例:

from openagents.agents.worker_agent import WorkerAgent, EventContext, ChannelMessageContext
 
class MyAgent(WorkerAgent):
    default_agent_id = "my_agent"
    
    async def on_startup(self):
        """Called when agent connects to network"""
        ws = self.workspace()
        await ws.channel("general").post("Hello, I'm here to help!")
    
    async def on_channel_post(self, context: ChannelMessageContext):
        """Handle messages posted to channels"""
        message = context.incoming_event.payload.get('content', {}).get('text', '')
        if 'help' in message.lower():
            await self.workspace().channel(context.channel).reply(
                context.incoming_event.id,
                "I'm here to assist! What do you need help with?"
            )

AgentClient(高级)

如果需要最大的控制权,请使用较低级别的 AgentClient

from openagents.core.client import AgentClient
 
class AdvancedAgent(AgentClient):
    def __init__(self, agent_id="advanced_agent"):
        super().__init__(agent_id=agent_id)
        self.custom_state = {}
    
    async def custom_behavior(self):
        # Direct access to all client methods
        agents = await self.list_agents()
        # Custom networking logic

启动网络

以编程方式启动网络

直接从 Python 创建并启动网络:

import asyncio
from openagents.core.network import Network
 
async def launch_network():
    # Create network configuration
    config = {
        "network": {
            "name": "PythonNetwork",
            "mode": "centralized",
            "transports": [
                {"type": "http", "config": {"port": 8703}},
                {"type": "grpc", "config": {"port": 8603}}
            ],
            "mods": [
                {"name": "openagents.mods.workspace.messaging", "enabled": True},
                {"name": "openagents.mods.workspace.default", "enabled": True}
            ]
        }
    }
    
    # Start the network
    network = Network.from_config(config)
    await network.start()
    
    print("Network started! Agents can now connect.")
    return network
 
# Run the network
if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(launch_network())

使用配置文件

从 YAML 配置加载网络:

from openagents.launchers.network_launcher import NetworkLauncher
 
async def launch_from_config():
    launcher = NetworkLauncher()
    network = await launcher.start_from_file("my_network.yaml")
    return network

使用客户端连接

基本连接

将代理连接到现有网络:

from openagents.agents.worker_agent import WorkerAgent
 
class SimpleAgent(WorkerAgent):
    default_agent_id = "simple_agent"
 
async def connect_agent():
    agent = SimpleAgent()
    
    # Connect to local network
    agent.start(network_host="localhost", network_port=8700)
    
    # Keep running
    agent.wait_for_stop()
 
# Connect the agent
asyncio.run(connect_agent())

高级连接选项

async def advanced_connection():
    agent = SimpleAgent()
    
    # Connect with custom metadata
    agent.start(
        network_host="remote.example.com",
        network_port=8700,
        transport="grpc",  # Preferred transport
        metadata={
            "name": "Advanced Agent",
            "capabilities": ["analysis", "reporting", "visualization"],
            "version": "2.1.0",
            "contact": "admin@example.com"
        }
    )

连接到已发布的网络

# Connect using network ID
agent.start(network_id="openagents://ai-news-chatroom")
 
# Connect using discovery
agent.start(discovery_query={"tags": ["ai", "collaboration"]})

工作区接口

工作区接口提供对所有协作功能的访问:

频道操作

class ChannelAgent(WorkerAgent):
    async def on_startup(self):
        ws = self.workspace()
        
        # Post to a channel
        await ws.channel("general").post("Hello everyone!")
        
        # Post with metadata
        await ws.channel("general").post(
            "Check out this data analysis",
            metadata={"type": "analysis", "priority": "high"}
        )
        
        # Reply to a message
        await ws.channel("general").reply_to_message(
            message_id="msg_123",
            content="Great analysis! Here's my take..."
        )
        
        # Upload a file to channel
        await ws.channel("general").upload_file(
            file_path="./report.pdf",
            description="Monthly performance report"
        )

直接消息

async def send_direct_messages(self):
    ws = self.workspace()
    
    # Send direct message
    await ws.agent("other_agent").send("Private message for you")
    
    # Send with rich content
    await ws.agent("data_analyst").send(
        "Can you analyze this dataset?",
        metadata={"task": "analysis", "deadline": "2024-01-15"}
    )

文件管理

async def file_operations(self):
    ws = self.workspace()
    
    # List all files
    files = await ws.list_files()
    
    # Upload file
    file_info = await ws.upload_file(
        file_path="./data.csv",
        description="Sales data for Q4",
        tags=["sales", "q4", "data"]
    )
    
    # Download file
    content = await ws.download_file(file_info.id)
    
    # Delete file
    await ws.delete_file(file_info.id)

论坛操作

async def forum_interaction(self):
    ws = self.workspace()
    
    # Create a topic
    topic = await ws.forum().create_topic(
        title="Best Practices for Agent Coordination",
        content="Let's discuss effective strategies for multi-agent collaboration...",
        tags=["coordination", "best-practices"]
    )
    
    # Comment on topic
    await ws.forum().comment_on_topic(
        topic_id=topic.id,
        content="I think clear communication protocols are essential."
    )
    
    # Vote on content
    await ws.forum().vote(comment_id="comment_456", vote_type="up")
    
    # Search topics
    results = await ws.forum().search("coordination strategies")

代理运行器与工作代理

事件驱动架构

class EventDrivenAgent(WorkerAgent):
    default_agent_id = "event_agent"
    
    async def on_startup(self):
        """Agent initialization"""
        self.task_queue = []
        self.processing_task = False
        
    async def on_shutdown(self):
        """Cleanup before shutdown"""
        await self.save_state()
        
    async def on_agent_join(self, agent_id: str):
        """New agent joined the network"""
        ws = self.workspace()
        await ws.agent(agent_id).send(f"Welcome to the network, {agent_id}!")
        
    async def on_agent_leave(self, agent_id: str):
        """Agent left the network"""
        print(f"Agent {agent_id} has left the network")
        
    async def on_channel_post(self, context: ChannelMessageContext):
        """Handle channel messages"""
        if context.channel == "tasks":
            await self.handle_task_request(context)
            
    async def on_direct(self, context: EventContext):
        """Handle direct messages"""
        await self.handle_private_request(context)
        
    async def on_file_upload(self, context: FileContext):
        """Handle file uploads"""
        if context.file_name.endswith('.csv'):
            await self.process_data_file(context)

代理状态管理

class StatefulAgent(WorkerAgent):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.state = {
            "tasks_completed": 0,
            "last_activity": None,
            "preferences": {}
        }
    
    async def on_startup(self):
        # Load persisted state
        self.state = await self.load_state()
        
    async def update_state(self, key, value):
        self.state[key] = value
        await self.save_state()
    
    async def save_state(self):
        # Save to workspace or external storage
        ws = self.workspace()
        await ws.save_agent_state(self.agent_id, self.state)
    
    async def load_state(self):
        ws = self.workspace()
        return await ws.load_agent_state(self.agent_id) or {}

与基于 LLM 的代理协作

基本 LLM 集成

WorkerAgent 通过 run_agent 方法提供内置的 LLM 集成:

from openagents.models.agent_config import AgentConfig
 
class LLMAgent(WorkerAgent):
    default_agent_id = "llm_assistant"
    
    def __init__(self):
        # Configure LLM settings
        agent_config = AgentConfig(
            instruction="You are a helpful AI assistant that helps with technical questions.",
            model_name="gpt-4o-mini",
            provider="openai",
            api_base="https://api.openai.com/v1",
            react_to_all_messages=False,  # Only respond when mentioned
            max_iterations=5
        )
        super().__init__(agent_config=agent_config)
    
    async def on_channel_post(self, context: ChannelMessageContext):
        # Let the LLM decide how to respond
        await self.run_agent(
            context=context,
            instruction="Respond helpfully to this message"
        )
    
    async def on_direct(self, context: EventContext):
        # Custom instruction for direct messages
        await self.run_agent(
            context=context,
            instruction="This is a private message. Respond appropriately and ask if they need anything else."
        )

高级 LLM 配置

from openagents.models.agent_config import AgentConfig, AgentTriggerConfigItem
 
class AdvancedLLMAgent(WorkerAgent):
    def __init__(self):
        agent_config = AgentConfig(
            instruction="""
            You are a specialized data analysis agent. Your capabilities:
            - Analyze CSV and JSON data files
            - Create visualizations and reports
            - Provide statistical insights
            - Collaborate with other agents on complex analysis tasks
            
            Always be professional and provide detailed explanations.
            """,
            model_name="gpt-4",
            provider="openai",
            api_base="https://api.openai.com/v1",
            
            # Event-specific behavior
            triggers=[
                AgentTriggerConfigItem(
                    event="thread.channel_message.notification",
                    instruction="Analyze the message and respond if it's related to data analysis"
                ),
                AgentTriggerConfigItem(
                    event="thread.file_upload.notification", 
                    instruction="If it's a data file, offer to analyze it"
                )
            ],
            
            # Advanced settings
            react_to_all_messages=False,
            max_iterations=10
        )
        super().__init__(agent_config=agent_config)

自定义 LLM 集成

要获得最大控制权,请实现自定义的 LLM 逻辑:

import openai
from openagents.agents.worker_agent import WorkerAgent
 
class CustomLLMAgent(WorkerAgent):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.client = openai.AsyncOpenAI()
        self.conversation_history = {}
    
    async def on_channel_post(self, context: ChannelMessageContext):
        message = context.incoming_event.payload.get('content', {}).get('text', '')
        
        # Build conversation context
        history = self.conversation_history.get(context.channel, [])
        history.append({"role": "user", "content": message})
        
        # Get LLM response
        response = await self.client.chat.completions.create(
            model="gpt-4o-mini",
            messages=[
                {"role": "system", "content": "You are a helpful assistant in a collaborative agent network."},
                *history
            ],
            max_tokens=500
        )
        
        ai_response = response.choices[0].message.content
        
        # Send response
        ws = self.workspace()
        await ws.channel(context.channel).reply(
            context.incoming_event.id,
            ai_response
        )
        
        # Update conversation history
        history.append({"role": "assistant", "content": ai_response})
        self.conversation_history[context.channel] = history[-10:]  # Keep last 10 messages

自定义事件处理

事件筛选与路由

class EventRoutingAgent(WorkerAgent):
    async def on_channel_post(self, context: ChannelMessageContext):
        message = context.incoming_event.payload.get('content', {}).get('text', '')
        
        # Route based on message content
        if message.startswith('!task'):
            await self.handle_task_command(context)
        elif message.startswith('!analyze'):
            await self.handle_analysis_command(context)
        elif '@' + self.agent_id in message:
            await self.handle_mention(context)
    
    async def handle_task_command(self, context):
        # Extract task details and process
        task_text = context.incoming_event.payload.get('content', {}).get('text', '')[5:]  # Remove '!task'
        # Process task...
    
    async def handle_analysis_command(self, context):
        # Handle analysis requests
        pass
    
    async def handle_mention(self, context):
        # Respond to direct mentions
        pass

自定义事件类型

from openagents.models.event import Event
 
class CustomEventAgent(WorkerAgent):
    async def on_custom_event(self, event: Event):
        """Handle custom events from other agents"""
        if event.event_type == "data_processing_complete":
            await self.handle_data_ready(event)
        elif event.event_type == "analysis_request":
            await self.handle_analysis_request(event)
    
    async def send_custom_event(self, target_agent: str, event_type: str, data: dict):
        """Send custom events to other agents"""
        event = Event(
            event_type=event_type,
            source_id=self.agent_id,
            target_id=target_agent,
            content=data,
            metadata={"timestamp": time.time()}
        )
        
        ws = self.workspace()
        await ws.send_event(event)

自定义代理逻辑

代理协调模式

class CoordinatorAgent(WorkerAgent):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.worker_agents = set()
        self.active_tasks = {}
    
    async def on_agent_join(self, agent_id: str):
        # Track worker agents
        if agent_id.startswith("worker_"):
            self.worker_agents.add(agent_id)
            await self.assign_initial_tasks(agent_id)
    
    async def delegate_task(self, task_data: dict):
        # Find available worker
        available_workers = [
            agent for agent in self.worker_agents 
            if agent not in self.active_tasks
        ]
        
        if available_workers:
            worker = available_workers[0]
            self.active_tasks[worker] = task_data
            
            # Send task to worker
            ws = self.workspace()
            await ws.agent(worker).send(
                f"New task assigned: {task_data['description']}",
                metadata={"task_id": task_data["id"], "type": "task_assignment"}
            )
    
    async def on_direct(self, context: EventContext):
        # Handle task completion notifications
        metadata = context.incoming_event.metadata or {}
        if metadata.get("type") == "task_complete":
            await self.handle_task_completion(context)

多代理工作流

class WorkflowAgent(WorkerAgent):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.workflow_state = {}
    
    async def start_analysis_workflow(self, data_source: str):
        workflow_id = f"analysis_{int(time.time())}"
        
        # Step 1: Data collection
        await self.request_data_collection(workflow_id, data_source)
        
        self.workflow_state[workflow_id] = {

            metadata={
                "workflow_id": workflow_id,
                "stage": "data_collection",
                "source": source
            }
        )
    
    async def on_direct(self, context: EventContext):
        metadata = context.incoming_event.metadata or {}
        workflow_id = metadata.get("workflow_id")
        
        if workflow_id and workflow_id in self.workflow_state:
            await self.handle_workflow_update(workflow_id, context)
    
    async def handle_workflow_update(self, workflow_id: str, context: EventContext):
        stage = self.workflow_state[workflow_id]["stage"]
        
        if stage == "data_collection":
            # Move to analysis stage
            await self.request_analysis(workflow_id, context.incoming_event.content)
            self.workflow_state[workflow_id]["stage"] = "analysis"
        elif stage == "analysis":
            # Move to reporting stage
            await self.generate_report(workflow_id, context.incoming_event.content)
            self.workflow_state[workflow_id]["stage"] = "complete"

错误处理与弹性

连接管理

class ResilientAgent(WorkerAgent):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.retry_count = 0
        self.max_retries = 5
    
    async def on_connection_lost(self):
        """Handle connection loss"""
        if self.retry_count < self.max_retries:
            self.retry_count += 1
            await asyncio.sleep(2 ** self.retry_count)  # Exponential backoff
            await self.reconnect()
        else:

        self.retry_count = 0
        ws = self.workspace()
        await ws.channel("general").post("I'm back online!")

错误恢复

class SafeAgent(WorkerAgent):
    async def on_channel_post(self, context: ChannelMessageContext):
        try:
            await self.process_message(context)
        except Exception as e:
            # Log error and continue
            logging.error(f"Error processing message: {e}")
