## Capabilities

The Agents SDK provides:

- **Persistent state** - SQLite-backed, auto-synced to clients
- **Callable RPC** - `@callable()` methods invoked over WebSocket
- **Scheduling** - One-time, recurring (`scheduleEvery`), and cron tasks
- **Workflows** - Durable multi-step background processing via `AgentWorkflow`
- **MCP integration** - Connect to MCP servers or build your own with `McpAgent`
- **Email handling** - Receive and reply to emails with secure routing
- **Streaming chat** - `AIChatAgent` with resumable streams
- **React hooks** - `useAgent`, `useAgentChat` for client apps

## FIRST: Verify Installation

```bash
npm ls agents  # Should show agents package
```

If not installed:
```bash
npm install agents
```

## Wrangler Configuration

```jsonc
{
  "durable_objects": {
    "bindings": [{ "name": "MyAgent", "class_name": "MyAgent" }]
  },
  "migrations": [{ "tag": "v1", "new_sqlite_classes": ["MyAgent"] }]
}
```

## Agent Class

```typescript
import { Agent, routeAgentRequest, callable } from "agents";

type State = { count: number };

export class Counter extends Agent<Env, State> {
  initialState = { count: 0 };

  // Validation hook - runs before state persists (sync, throwing rejects the update)
  validateStateChange(nextState: State, source: Connection | "server") {
    if (nextState.count < 0) throw new Error("Count cannot be negative");
  }

  // Notification hook - runs after state persists (async, non-blocking)
  onStateUpdate(state: State, source: Connection | "server") {
    console.log("State updated:", state);
  }

  @callable()
  increment() {
    this.setState({ count: this.state.count + 1 });
    return this.state.count;
  }
}

export default {
  fetch: (req, env) => routeAgentRequest(req, env) ?? new Response("Not found", { status: 404 })
};
```

## Routing

Requests route to `/agents/{agent-name}/{instance-name}`:

| Class | URL |
|-------|-----|
| `Counter` | `/agents/counter/user-123` |
| `ChatRoom` | `/agents/chat-room/lobby` |

Client: `useAgent({ agent: "Counter", name: "user-123" })`

## Core APIs

| Task | API |
|------|-----|
| Read state | `this.state.count` |
| Write state | `this.setState({ count: 1 })` |
| SQL query | `` this.sql`SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ${id}` `` |
| Schedule (delay) | `await this.schedule(60, "task", payload)` |
| Schedule (cron) | `await this.schedule("0 * * * *", "task", payload)` |
| Schedule (interval) | `await this.scheduleEvery(30, "poll")` |
| RPC method | `@callable() myMethod() { ... }` |
| Streaming RPC | `@callable({ streaming: true }) stream(res) { ... }` |
| Start workflow | `await this.runWorkflow("ProcessingWorkflow", params)` |

## React Client

```tsx
import { useAgent } from "agents/react";

function App() {
  const [state, setLocalState] = useState({ count: 0 });

  const agent = useAgent({
    agent: "Counter",
    name: "my-instance",
    onStateUpdate: (newState) => setLocalState(newState),
    onIdentity: (name, agentType) => console.log(`Connected to ${name}`)
  });

  return (
    <button onClick={() => agent.setState({ count: state.count + 1 })}>
      Count: {state.count}
    </button>
  );
}
```
