Multi-Agent Communication
Host Mode
Enable host mode to allow other agents to connect:
- •Requires
--hostflag orhost_mode: truein config - •Must specify a
comms_namefor peer identification
Message Patterns
Fire-and-forget
Use comms_send for one-way messages that don't need a response.
Request/Response
Use comms_request to send and wait for a response.
Use comms_response to reply to incoming requests.
Peer Discovery
- •Use
comms_list_peersto see connected peers - •Peers must be in the trust configuration to communicate
Transport Selection
- •UDS (Unix Domain Socket): Same machine, lowest latency
- •TCP: Cross-machine communication
- •inproc: In-process, for sub-agents in the same runtime
