-title: Agent Class Pattern
-description: Build a weather assistant using the Agent class with tools and conditional routing.
-section: Examples
-group: "Foundations"
-order: 20
-label: Agent Class Pattern
-updated: "2026-10-27"
-faq:
- - question: What is the difference between the Agent class and plain nodes?
- answer: The Agent class wraps LLM calls, message conversion, and tool integration. Plain nodes are lower-level functions you write directly. Use Agent for LLM orchestration, plain nodes for deterministic logic.
- - question: Can I use a different model provider?
- answer: Yes. Change the model string like google/gemini-2.5-flash, openai/gpt-4o, or anthropic/claude-opus-5. Install the corresponding provider extra.
- - question: How do I add more tools?
- answer: Pass additional functions to ToolNode. The LLM sees all tool schemas and chooses which to call based on the user query.
----
-
-## What you will build
-
-A conversational weather assistant that demonstrates the core building blocks of a 10xGraph agent. The example shows how an `Agent` orchestrates LLM calls, how `ToolNode` exposes Python functions as callable tools, and how conditional routing decides whether to execute a tool or return a final response to the user. The graph loops between the agent and a tool node until the LLM produces a plain text reply, then stops.
-
-This is a foundation pattern you extend for search agents, customer support, data extraction, and multi-agent systems.
-
-## How to run it
-
-Clone the 10xGraph repository and run the example from the `examples/agent-class/` directory:
-
-```bash
-cd 10xGraph/examples/agent-class
-pip install "10xgraph[google-genai]"
-export GEMINI_API_KEY=""
-python graph.py
-```
-
-For other providers, install the corresponding extra: `10xgraph[openai]`, `10xgraph[anthropic]`.
-
-Environment variables:
-- `GEMINI_API_KEY`: your Google API key (required if using Gemini)
-- `OPENAI_API_KEY`: your OpenAI key (required if using GPT)
-- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`: your Anthropic key (required if using Claude)
-
-## How the graph works
-
-The agent runs in a loop: it receives a user message, decides whether to call a tool, executes the tool if needed, and then responds. A routing function (`should_use_tools`) controls the flow.
-
-```mermaid
-flowchart TD
- A([User Message]) --> B["MAIN Agent Node"]
- B -->|has tool calls| C["TOOL ToolNode"]
- B -->|no more tools| D([END])
- C -->|tool result| B
-
- style A fill:#4A90D9,color:#fff
- style B fill:#7B68EE,color:#fff
- style C fill:#50C878,color:#fff
- style D fill:#FF6B6B,color:#fff
-```
-
-The sequence of execution:
-
-1. User sends a message to the graph.
-2. The MAIN node (an `Agent`) forwards messages and any available tools to the LLM.
-3. The LLM responds: either with a tool call or a plain text reply.
-4. The routing function checks the response. If it contains a tool call, it sends the state to the TOOL node. Otherwise, it sends the state to END.
-5. The TOOL node executes the requested tool (e.g., `get_weather`), captures the result as a message, and returns to MAIN.
-6. MAIN sends the tool result to the LLM again, and the loop repeats.
-7. When the LLM produces a plain text reply with no tool calls, the routing function routes to END and the graph stops.
-
-This loop handles multi-turn conversations where the agent calls tools multiple times before answering.
-
-## The example code, step by step
-
-### Step 1: Define your tool
-
-A tool is a Python function with type hints. The type hints and docstring become the JSON schema the LLM sees.
-
-```python title="examples/agent-class/graph.py"
-def get_weather(location: str) -> str:
- """Get the current weather for a specific location."""
- return f"The weather in {location} is sunny"
-```
-
-In production, this function would call a real weather API. For this example, it returns a simple mock response.
-
-### Step 2: Wrap the tool in a ToolNode
-
-A `ToolNode` takes a list of callables and exposes them as tools the LLM can invoke. The node executes tools in parallel if the LLM requests multiple tools at once.
-
-```python
-from tenxgraph.core.graph import ToolNode
-
-tool_node = ToolNode([get_weather])
-```
-
-### Step 3: Create the graph and add the Agent node
-
-Create a `StateGraph` and add an `Agent` node. The Agent handles LLM calls, message formatting, and tool integration. The `tool_node` parameter tells the Agent which node name to route to when tools are called.
-
-```python
-from tenxgraph.core.graph import Agent, StateGraph
-
-graph = StateGraph()
-
-graph.add_node(
- "MAIN",
- Agent(
- model="google/gemini-2.5-flash",
- system_prompt=[
- {
- "role": "system",
- "content": "You are a helpful assistant. Help user queries effectively.",
- }
- ],
- tool_node="TOOL",
- ),
-)
-```
-
-The `model` parameter accepts provider-qualified strings: `google/gemini-2.5-flash`, `openai/gpt-4o`, `anthropic/claude-opus-5`. The system prompt is a list of message dicts; the Agent will include these in every LLM call.
-
-### Step 4: Add the tool node
-
-```python
-graph.add_node("TOOL", tool_node)
-```
-
-### Step 5: Write the routing function
-
-After each node runs, the graph calls a routing function to decide the next node. This function inspects the state and returns the name of the next node (or a special constant like `END`).
-
-```python
-from tenxgraph.core.state.agent_state import AgentState
-from tenxgraph.utils.constants import END
-
-def should_use_tools(state: AgentState) -> str:
- """Route to TOOL if the last message has tool calls, else END."""
- if not state.context or len(state.context) == 0:
- return "TOOL"
-
- last_message = state.context[-1]
-
- # If assistant message has tool calls, go to TOOL
- if (
- hasattr(last_message, "tools_calls")
- and last_message.tools_calls
- and len(last_message.tools_calls) > 0
- and last_message.role == "assistant"
- ):
- return "TOOL"
-
- # If tool message, go back to MAIN for a response
- if last_message.role == "tool":
- return "MAIN"
-
- # Otherwise end
- return END
-```
-
-`AgentState` is the state object passed through the graph. `state.context` is a list of messages. The `role` field tells you who sent the message: `"user"`, `"assistant"`, or `"tool"`.
-
-### Step 6: Wire the edges and compile
-
-Connect the nodes with edges and a conditional routing rule. The conditional edge calls `should_use_tools` after the MAIN node runs, and routes based on the returned node name.
-
-```python
-graph.add_conditional_edges(
- "MAIN",
- should_use_tools,
- {"TOOL": "TOOL", END: END},
-)
-
-graph.add_edge("TOOL", "MAIN") # Always return to MAIN after tools run
-graph.set_entry_point("MAIN")
-
-app = graph.compile()
-```
-
-### Step 7: Invoke the graph
-
-Create an input dict with messages, set a config (thread_id for persistence, recursion_limit to prevent infinite loops), and invoke.
-
-```python
-from tenxgraph.core.state.message import Message
-
-inp = {"messages": [Message.text_message("How is weather in London?")]}
-config = {"thread_id": "12345", "recursion_limit": 10}
-
-res = app.invoke(inp, config=config)
-
-for msg in res["messages"]:
- print(f"[{msg.role}] {msg.text()}")
-```
-
-The messages come back in order: the user message, an assistant message carrying the `get_weather` tool call (empty text), the tool result, and the final assistant reply. The final wording depends on the model.

-## Key concepts
-
-| Concept | Purpose |
-|---|---|
-| `Agent` | Wraps LLM calls and message conversion. Set `tool_node` to the name of the node that runs its tool calls. |
-| `ToolNode` | Wraps a list of callables, executes them in parallel, and returns tool-result messages. Injectable params like `state` and `tool_call_id` are filled automatically. |
-| `should_use_tools` | The routing function. Runs after every node and returns the next node name. |
-| Conditional edge | Connects a node to a routing function and maps return values to next nodes. |
-| `AgentState` | The graph state. Contains `context` (list of messages) and any custom fields you add by subclassing. |
-| Recursion limit | Prevents infinite loops. Default is 25 hops (LLM calls + tool calls). |
-
-## What to try next
-
-- Add more tools: pass additional functions to `ToolNode([get_weather, get_news, search])`.
-- Add custom state: subclass `AgentState` to track user context, session data, or conversation metadata.
-- Enable memory: use a `Checkpointer` (SQLite or Postgres+Redis) to persist state across runs on the same thread.
-- Serve over HTTP: create a `10xgraph.json` config and run `10xgraph dev --no-open` to expose the graph as a REST API.

+ a: "Invoke callbacks (before_invoke, after_invoke, on_error) wrap a single model or tool call. Lifecycle hooks (GraphLifecycleHook) fire at structural events of the whole run, such as start, end, interrupt, resume and checkpoint."
+ - q: "Do input validators check tool results?"
+ a: "No. Validators run on the messages you pass to invoke or stream. Tool results, node output and interrupt resume values are not validated, and the built-in prompt injection checks are heuristics, not a complete defence."
+ - q: "How do I attach a CallbackManager to a ReactAgent?"
+ a: "Pass it to compile, for example agent.compile(callback_manager=manager). StateGraph.compile accepts the same argument."
+---
+
+This example hooks into a 10xGraph run in four ways: invoke callbacks that log, time and price each model and tool call, lifecycle hooks that audit the whole run, input validators that reject unsafe prompts, and secret redaction for logs. The agents use Google `gemini-2.5-flash`. All hooks live in one `CallbackManager` that you pass to `compile`.
+
+## What you will build
+
+Four small scripts that hook into a 10xGraph run. One logs, times and prices every model and tool call. One audits the run with graph lifecycle hooks. One rejects unsafe input with validators. One scrubs API keys from logs, without calling a model.
+
+All hooks are collected in a single `CallbackManager` and handed to `compile(callback_manager=...)`.
+
+## Key concepts
+
+- `CallbackManager`: registry for invoke callbacks, input validators and lifecycle hooks.
+- `register_before_invoke` / `register_after_invoke` / `register_on_error`: callbacks per `InvocationType` (`AI`, `TOOL`, `MCP`, `SKILL`).
+- `CallbackContext`: tells a callback which node and function is running.
+- `GraphLifecycleHook`: base class with no-op methods such as `on_graph_start`, `on_graph_end`, `on_graph_error`, `on_interrupt`, `on_resume`, `on_checkpoint`, `on_state_update`, `on_turn_start` and `on_turn_end`.
+- `BaseValidator`, `PromptInjectionValidator`, `register_default_validators`: input validation that raises `ValidationError`.
+- `mask_secrets`, `install_secret_redaction`: credential scrubbing for strings and for the `tenxgraph` logger.
+
+## Run it
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/10xGraph/10xGraph.git
+cd 10xGraph/agentflow
+```
+
+```bash
+pip install "10xgraph[google-genai]" python-dotenv
+export GEMINI_API_KEY="your-key"
+```
+
+The agents in this folder use `gemini-2.5-flash`. `secret_redaction.py` needs no key.
+
+```bash
+python examples/callbacks/invoke_hooks.py
+python examples/callbacks/lifecycle_hooks.py
+python examples/callbacks/validators.py
+python examples/callbacks/secret_redaction.py
+```
+
+## How the code works
+
+### invoke_hooks.py
+
+A small class collects counts, latency and token usage across one run.
+
+```python
+class RunStats:
+ """Accumulates call counts and latency across one run."""
+
+ def __init__(self) -> None:
+ self.calls: dict[str, int] = {"ai": 0, "tool": 0}
+ self.seconds: dict[str, float] = {"ai": 0.0, "tool": 0.0}
+```
+
+Token counts are not part of the callback payload, so `add_usage` sums `Message.usages` from the returned messages. The price table is illustrative. Replace it with your provider's current rates.
+
+```python
+async def start_timer(context: CallbackContext, input_data: Any) -> Any:
+ context.metadata = context.metadata or {}
+ context.metadata["t0"] = time.perf_counter()
+ print(f"[before] {context.invocation_type} {context.function_name or context.node_name}")
+ return input_data # Return the input unchanged, or return a modified copy.
+```
+
+The same `CallbackContext` object reaches `before_invoke` and `after_invoke` for one call, so its `metadata` dict is a place to carry the start time. A before callback returns the input, unchanged or modified.
+
+```python
+async def stop_timer(context: CallbackContext, input_data: Any, output: Any) -> Any:
+ kind = context.invocation_type.value
+ elapsed = time.perf_counter() - (context.metadata or {}).get("t0", time.perf_counter())
+ stats.calls[kind] += 1
+ stats.seconds[kind] += elapsed
+ print(f"[after] {kind} {context.function_name or context.node_name} took {elapsed:.2f}s")
+ return output
+```
+
+The after callback gets the input and the output and returns the output. Here it records the elapsed time per kind of call.
+
+```python
+async def log_error(context: CallbackContext, input_data: Any, error: Exception) -> None:
+ stats.errors += 1
+ print(f"[error] {context.invocation_type} {context.function_name}: {error}")
+ return None # None means "no recovery value"; the error is handled as usual.
+```
+
+Returning `None` from an error callback means there is no recovery value, so the error is handled as usual. The `get_weather` tool raises for Atlantis, which exercises this path.
+
+```python
+def build_callback_manager() -> CallbackManager:
+ manager = CallbackManager()
+ for invocation_type in (InvocationType.AI, InvocationType.TOOL):
+ manager.register_before_invoke(invocation_type, start_timer)
+ manager.register_after_invoke(invocation_type, stop_timer)
+ manager.register_on_error(invocation_type, log_error)
+```
+
+Callbacks are registered for both `AI` (model) and `TOOL` invocations. The manager is then given to `compile`:
+
+```python
+ app = agent.compile(callback_manager=build_callback_manager())
+```
+
+### lifecycle_hooks.py
+
+`AuditHook` subclasses `GraphLifecycleHook` and overrides only the events it cares about. Returning `None` keeps the state unchanged. Returning a state object replaces it, which is how a hook can inject data at `on_graph_start`.
+
+```python
+ async def on_graph_start(self, context: GraphLifecycleContext, state: AgentState):
+ self._started[context.run_id] = time.perf_counter()
+ print(f"[start] thread={context.thread_id} messages={len(state.context)}")
+ return None # Return a new state here to rewrite it before the run begins.
+```
+
+`on_state_update`, `on_checkpoint`, `on_graph_end` and `on_graph_error` follow the same pattern. The exception from a failing run is always re-raised after `on_graph_error`. `on_interrupt` and `on_resume` fire for human-in-the-loop pauses, and `on_turn_start` and `on_turn_end` fire only in realtime sessions, so none of those run here.
+
+```python
+ manager = CallbackManager()
+ manager.register_lifecycle_hook(AuditHook())
+
+ agent = ReactAgent(model="gemini-2.5-flash", tools=[lookup_order])
+ # A checkpointer makes the on_checkpoint hook fire on every durable write.
+ app = agent.compile(checkpointer=InMemoryCheckpointer(), callback_manager=manager)
+```
+
+A checkpointer is passed so `on_checkpoint` fires on every durable write.
+
+### validators.py
+
+Validators run on the messages you pass in, before the first node executes. A custom rule only needs `validate`.
+
+```python
+class BusinessPolicyValidator(BaseValidator):
+ """Rejects topics this assistant must not discuss."""
+
+ forbidden_topics = ("financial advice", "medical diagnosis", "legal counsel")
+
+ async def validate(self, messages: list[Message]) -> bool:
+ for msg in messages:
+ text = msg.text().lower()
+ for topic in self.forbidden_topics:
+ if topic in text:
+ raise ValidationError(
+ f"Out of scope: {topic}", "forbidden_topic", {"topic": topic}
+ )
+ return True # Return True when the messages pass; raise to reject.
+```
+
+Return `True` when the messages pass and raise `ValidationError` to reject. The error carries a message, a violation type and a details dict.
+
+```python
+def build_callback_manager() -> CallbackManager:
+ manager = CallbackManager()
+ # Registers PromptInjectionValidator and MessageContentValidator. The checks are
+ # heuristics for known phrasings, not a complete defence.
+ register_default_validators(manager, strict_mode=True)
+ # To tune one, register your own instance instead of calling the helper, for example
+ # PromptInjectionValidator(strict_mode=False) only logs a warning and lets input through.
+ manager.register_input_validator(BusinessPolicyValidator())
+```
+
+`register_default_validators` adds `PromptInjectionValidator` and `MessageContentValidator`. The checks are heuristics for known phrasings, not a complete defence. With `strict_mode=False` the prompt injection validator only logs a warning.
+
+```python
+ try:
+ result = await app.ainvoke(
+ {"messages": [Message.text_message(prompt)]},
+ config={"thread_id": f"validators-{i}"},
+ )
+ print("assistant:", result["messages"][-1].text())
+ except ValidationError as exc:
+ print(f"rejected ({exc.violation_type}): {exc}")
+ print()
+```
+
+A rejected prompt raises `ValidationError` from `ainvoke` before any node runs. Validators are plain objects, so the script also calls one directly at the end.
+
+### secret_redaction.py
+
+```python
+ for line in samples:
+ print(" in :", line)
+ print(" out:", mask_secrets(line))
+```
+
+`mask_secrets(text)` replaces OpenAI, Google, GitHub, Slack and AWS keys, bearer tokens and `key=value` secrets.
+
+```python
+ logger = logging.getLogger("tenxgraph")
+ handler = logging.StreamHandler()
+ handler.setFormatter(logging.Formatter("log> %(message)s"))
+ logger.addHandler(handler)
+ logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
+```
+
+`install_secret_redaction("tenxgraph")` adds the filter to that logger and its handlers, so call it after you configure your handlers. It is a safety net, not a guarantee.

+## Next steps
+
+- [Observability](/docs/examples/observability) sends the same run events to a console, OpenTelemetry or a message broker.
+- [Structured output](/docs/examples/structured-output) validates the model's output instead of its input.
+- [Human in the loop](/docs/examples/human-in-the-loop) uses the interrupt events that `on_interrupt` and `on_resume` observe.

+title: "Context Window Management for Python AI Agents - Trim and Summarize with 10xGraph"
+seoTitle: "Context window management in Python"
+description: "Keep long agent conversations inside the token limit in 10xGraph with MessageContextManager trimming and SummaryContextManager summaries from a cheaper model."
+section: Examples
+group: "Production"
+order: 24
+label: "Context management"
+updated: "2026-10-28"
+faq:
+ - q: "Why is my context manager not doing anything?"
+ a: "The agent only calls it when trim_context=True is set on the agent (ReactAgent or Agent). Without the flag the context manager is registered but unused during LLM calls."
+ - q: "What does max_messages count in MessageContextManager?"
+ a: "User messages. It keeps the most recent max_messages user turns with their replies, and always keeps system messages. Set remove_tool_msgs=True to also drop tool calls and tool results."
+ - q: "Can the summary model come from a different provider than the agent?"
+ a: "Yes. SummaryContextManager takes its own model string and detects the provider from the name, so a Claude agent can use gemini-2.5-flash or an OpenAI model for summaries. Set api_style=\"chat\" only for OpenAI-compatible models without Responses API support."
+ - q: "Where does the summary go?"
+ a: "Into state.context_summary. It is a rolling summary, so each new summarisation is appended to the earlier one, and it is placed in front of the recent messages when the next prompt is built."
+---
+
+This example keeps a long chat inside the model's context window. `message_window.py` drops old turns with `MessageContextManager`. `summarize.py` compresses them into a running summary with `SummaryContextManager`. The chat agent uses Anthropic `claude-sonnet-5-5`; in the summary script a different company's model, Google `gemini-2.5-flash`, writes the summaries.
+
+## What you will build
+
+Two ways to stop a long chat from outgrowing the model's context window.
+
+- `message_window.py` keeps only the last 3 user turns. Older turns are dropped, which is cheap but forgetful.
+- `summarize.py` replaces old turns with a short summary and keeps the recent messages word for word. The conversation is answered by Anthropic `claude-sonnet-5-5`, while the summaries are written by Google `gemini-2.5-flash`. Summarising is a simple task, so a smaller, cheaper model from another company does it at lower cost, and the context manager has its own model setting, independent of the agent's.
+
+Both print the size of the stored context after each turn, and the second prints `context_summary`.
+
+## Key concepts
+
+- `MessageContextManager(max_messages=10, remove_tool_msgs=False)`: window by user-message count.
+- `SummaryContextManager(model, max_messages=30, token_budget=None, keep_recent=8, remove_tool_msgs=False, summary_system_prompt=None, max_summary_tokens=600, api_style="responses")`: summarises when the message count or the estimated token count passes its limit.
+- `ReactAgent(context_manager=..., trim_context=True)`: attaches the manager and turns on trimming. Both are needed.
+- `state.context_summary`: the rolling summary text. Read it with `ResponseGranularity.PARTIAL` (keys `context`, `summary`, `messages`) or `FULL`.
+- `ResponseGranularity`: how much of the state `ainvoke` returns.
+
+## Run it
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/10xGraph/10xGraph.git
+cd 10xGraph/agentflow
+```
+
+```bash
+pip install "10xgraph[anthropic,google-genai]" python-dotenv
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="..."
+export GEMINI_API_KEY="..."
+```
+
+`message_window.py` only needs the Anthropic key and extra.
+
+```bash
+python examples/context_management/message_window.py
+python examples/context_management/summarize.py
+```
+
+## How the code works
+
+### message_window.py
+
+The agent is a plain `ReactAgent` with two extra arguments.
+
+```python
+ agent = ReactAgent(
+ model="claude-sonnet-5-5",
+ system_prompt=[{"role": "system", "content": "Answer briefly."}],
+ # Counts USER messages. The oldest turns are dropped; system messages stay.
+ # remove_tool_msgs=True would also drop tool calls and tool results.
+ context_manager=MessageContextManager(max_messages=3),
+ # Without this flag the agent never calls the context manager.
+ trim_context=True,
+ )
+```
+
+`MessageContextManager` counts user messages. When there are more than `max_messages`, it keeps the latest ones with everything after them, and it always keeps system messages. `trim_context=True` is the switch that makes the agent call the manager. Without it the manager is registered but never used. The trim runs before each LLM call and again when state is saved, so the stored thread stays small too.
+
+```python
+ result = await graph.ainvoke(
+ {"messages": [Message.text_message(question)]},
+ config,
+ # PARTIAL adds the stored context and summary to the reply.
+ response_granularity=ResponseGranularity.PARTIAL,
+ )
+ users = sum(1 for m in result["context"] if m.role == "user")
+```
+
+`ResponseGranularity.PARTIAL` adds the stored `context` to the reply. That lets the script count how many user messages are still in the thread. The last question asks for the favourite colour from turn 1, which has been trimmed away, so the agent cannot answer it.
+
+### summarize.py
+
+```python
+ summariser = SummaryContextManager(
+ # Summarising is a simple task, so a small fast model is enough. Any provider works
+ # here; it is detected from the model name, like for an Agent.
+ model="gemini-2.5-flash",
+ max_messages=6, # summarise when the context holds more than 6 messages
+ keep_recent=4, # always keep the last 4 non-system messages verbatim
+ token_budget=None, # or set a rough token cap (1 token ~ 4 characters)
+ max_summary_tokens=400,
+ # api_style only matters for OpenAI summary models: "responses" (default) or "chat".
+ # With a Gemini model it is ignored.
+ )
+```
+
+The summary manager has its own `model`. It detects the provider from the model name, the same way `Agent` does, so the agent talks to Anthropic while Gemini writes summaries. When the context holds more than `max_messages` (or passes `token_budget`, a rough estimate at 4 characters per token), everything except the last `keep_recent` non-system messages is sent to the summary model. System messages are never summarised. `api_style` only matters for OpenAI summary models and is ignored with Gemini.
+
+```python
+ agent = ReactAgent(
+ model="claude-sonnet-5-5",
+ system_prompt=[{"role": "system", "content": "You are a concise travel planner."}],
+ context_manager=summariser,
+ trim_context=True, # required, or the manager is never called
+ )
+```
+
+The result is stored in `state.context_summary` and the older messages are removed. Later summaries are appended to the earlier text, so nothing is thrown away permanently. When the next prompt is built, the summary is injected as an assistant message before the recent messages. If the summary call fails, the context is left unchanged and the run continues.
+
+```python
+ if result["summary"]:
+ print(f" -> context_summary: {result['summary']}")
+```
+
+The script reads the summary back from the `PARTIAL` result under the key `summary`.
+
+## Full code
+
+
+
+
+```python
+"""Keep only the most recent turns in the prompt with MessageContextManager.
+
+After each run the context holds at most the last 3 user messages (plus any system
+messages), so token use stays flat in a long chat. Needs trim_context=True on the agent.
+Run: python examples/context_management/message_window.py

+
+```text
+user: I am vegetarian.
+assistant: Noted. I will plan vegetarian-friendly food stops.
+ -> context: 5 messages
+ -> context_summary: The user is planning a 5-day trip to Japan in April, likes food and quiet places, lands in Tokyo and departs from Osaka, and has about 2000 euros excluding flights.
+```
+
+## Using a different model
+
+Change the model strings. For example an OpenAI agent, `ReactAgent(model="gpt-5-mini", ...)` with `pip install "10xgraph[openai]"`, and a summariser on a third company, `SummaryContextManager(model="claude-sonnet-5-5", ...)`. For an OpenAI summary model on an older endpoint, add `api_style="chat"`.
+
+## Next steps
+
+- [Persistence](/docs/examples/persistence): store the trimmed thread in SQLite or Postgres.
+- [Resilience](/docs/examples/resilience): fallbacks when the agent model or the summary model fails.
+- [Human in the loop](/docs/examples/human-in-the-loop): pause long-running threads for approval.

+title: CopilotKit Frontend for a 10xGraph Agent over AG-UI
+seoTitle: CopilotKit frontend for a Python agent
+description: Build a task board with a Next.js CopilotKit UI and a Python 10xGraph agent served over AG-UI, with shared state, approvals and Docker.
+section: Examples
+group: Apps
+order: 40
+label: CopilotKit over AG-UI
+updated: "2026-10-28"
+faq:
+ - q: "How do I enable the AG-UI endpoint in 10xGraph?"
+ a: "Install `10xgraph-api[ag-ui]` and set `\"ag_ui\": {\"enabled\": true}` in `10xgraph.json`. The server then mounts `POST /v1/ag-ui`, which uses the same auth as `/v1/graph/stream`."
+ - q: "Does the browser talk to the 10xGraph server directly?"
+ a: "No. The browser calls the CopilotKit runtime in the Next.js route handler, and that handler calls `/v1/ag-ui` with an `HttpAgent`. Any API token stays on the server."
+ - q: "Which AG-UI features does 10xGraph support?"
+ a: "Streaming text, tool calls and results, reasoning, state snapshots, browser (frontend) tools and interrupt() approvals. It does not send MESSAGES_SNAPSHOT or state deltas."
+---
+
+This is a full-stack app: a Python 10xGraph agent served over the AG-UI protocol, and a Next.js frontend built with CopilotKit that shows a task board next to a chat. The main assistant runs on OpenAI `gpt-5-mini`. A second, separate planner graph runs on DeepSeek `deepseek-chat`. Both services ship with Dockerfiles and a Compose file, so you can run the whole app with one command.
+
+## What you will build
+
+A task board with a chat assistant. You type a goal such as "plan a product launch". The assistant adds tasks to a board that is shown next to the chat, moves them between columns, and asks you to approve before it deletes finished tasks.
+
+The backend is a 10xGraph `ReactAgent` served by the 10xGraph API server on `POST /v1/ag-ui`. The frontend is Next.js with CopilotKit, which speaks AG-UI natively.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Backend agents
+
+| Agent | Model | Company | Role |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Task assistant (`backend/graph/agent.py`) | `gpt-5-mini` | OpenAI | Talks to the user, calls the board tools |
+| Task planner (`backend/graph/planner.py`) | `deepseek-chat` | DeepSeek | Splits a goal into 3 to 5 steps, called from the `plan_goal` tool |
+
+Both are 10xGraph graphs. The planner uses the OpenAI-compatible client with `base_url="https://api.deepseek.com"`, so no extra package is needed beyond the `openai` extra. Using a model from another company shows that agents in one app do not have to share a provider.
+
+### The AG-UI bridge
+
+AG-UI is an event protocol between an agent backend and a UI. The 10xGraph API server implements it in `routers/ag_ui/` (router, service, event mapper). When `ag_ui.enabled` is true in `10xgraph.json`, the server mounts `POST /v1/ag-ui`. A request carries a `RunAgentInput` (messages, state, frontend tools). The response is a server-sent event stream. The server runs your graph and maps what it does to AG-UI events. It uses the same auth as `/v1/graph/stream`.
+
+### CopilotKit runtime and frontend
+
+The browser never calls the 10xGraph server. It calls the CopilotKit runtime, which lives in a Next.js route handler (`app/api/copilotkit/[[...slug]]/route.ts`). That handler holds an `HttpAgent` from `@ag-ui/client` pointed at `GRAPH_API_URL/v1/ag-ui`. If you set `GRAPH_API_TOKEN`, the handler adds it as a bearer token, so the token stays on the server.
+
+### Docker services
+
+`docker-compose.yml` defines two services. `backend` is built from `./backend`, reads keys from `.env` and publishes port 8000. `frontend` is built from `./frontend`, gets `GRAPH_API_URL=http://backend:8000` and publishes port 3000. The frontend starts after the backend.
+
+### Event flow from a message to rendered UI
+
+```text
+Browser (CopilotChat + Board + Approval)
+ | 1. user types a message
+ v
+CopilotKit runtime (Next.js route handler, /api/copilotkit)
+ | 2. HttpAgent -> POST GRAPH_API_URL/v1/ag-ui
+ | body: RunAgentInput (messages, state, frontend tools such as focus_task)
+ v
+10xGraph API server (/v1/ag-ui, ag_ui.enabled = true)
+ | 3. runs the graph: MAIN (gpt-5-mini) <-> TOOL
+ | plan_goal tool --> planner graph (deepseek-chat)
+ | 4. maps graph activity to AG-UI events over SSE
+ v
+CopilotKit runtime --- events streamed back ---> Browser
+ TEXT_MESSAGE_START/CONTENT/END -> chat bubbles
+ TOOL_CALL_START/ARGS/END, RESULT -> tool calls in the chat
+ STATE_SNAPSHOT (tasks, ...) -> useAgent().agent.state -> Board
+ tool call focus_task (no result) -> run ends, browser handler runs,
+ CopilotKit starts a new run with the result
+ RUN_FINISHED outcome=interrupt -> useInterrupt -> Approval card
+ resolve(...) resumes the graph
+```
+
+## Key concepts
+
+- `ag_ui.enabled` in `10xgraph.json`: mounts `POST /v1/ag-ui` on the API server.
+- `AgentState` subclass (`BoardState`): the custom fields are the shared state.
+- Tools that take `state`: they change the board in place; the server sends the new fields as a snapshot.
+- `interrupt()` in `clear_done_tasks`: pauses for approval.
+- `HttpAgent` from `@ag-ui/client` in the Next.js route: the CopilotKit runtime's link to the server.
+- `useAgent`, `useFrontendTool`, `useInterrupt`: CopilotKit hooks for the board, the browser tool and the approval.
+
+### AG-UI feature support
+
+Checked against the API server source under `routers/ag_ui/` and the integration guide.
+
+| Feature | Supported | Used here | How |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Streaming text | Yes | Yes | `TEXT_MESSAGE_START/CONTENT/END` |
+| Tool calls and results | Yes | Yes | `TOOL_CALL_START/ARGS/END`, `TOOL_CALL_RESULT` |
+| Reasoning | Yes | No | `REASONING_START` to `REASONING_END` |
+| Shared state to the UI | Yes | Yes | `STATE_SNAPSHOT` with the fields you add to `AgentState` (not messages) |
+| State from the UI to the graph | Yes | No | `RunAgentInput.state` becomes the run's start state; `context`, `context_summary`, `execution_meta` are ignored |
+| Frontend (browser) tools | Yes | Yes | Sent in `RunAgentInput.tools`, offered for that run only; the run finishes with the call unanswered and CopilotKit starts a new run with the result. Disable with `ag_ui.allow_client_tools: false` |
+| Human-in-the-loop | Yes | Yes | `interrupt()` becomes `RUN_FINISHED` with `outcome: {type: "interrupt"}`; CopilotKit `useInterrupt` resumes it |
+| `STATE_DELTA` patches | No | No | Only full snapshots are sent |
+| `MESSAGES_SNAPSHOT` | No | No | A reloaded browser starts with an empty chat unless CopilotKit stores messages |

+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.12 or newer, Node.js 20 or newer (or Docker).
+- Keys: `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY`.
+- Backend install: `pip install "10xgraph[openai]" "10xgraph-api[ag-ui]" python-dotenv` (see `backend/requirements.txt`).
+- Frontend package versions in `frontend/package.json` use caret ranges (`@copilotkit/*` ^1.50.0, `@ag-ui/client` ^0.0.40). `frontend/package-lock.json` pins them (CopilotKit 1.82.0 and `@ag-ui/client` 0.0.40 at the time of writing), which ship the `@copilotkit/*/v2` import paths the app uses. The Dockerfile installs with `npm ci`, so Docker builds use exactly those versions.
+- The frontend uses the `@copilotkit/react-core/v2` chat components, so `@copilotkit/react-ui` is not installed.
+
+## Run it
+
+Clone the repo and go to the example:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/10xGraph/10xGraph.git
+cd 10xGraph/agentflow/examples/apps/copilotkit_agui
+```
+
+### Environment variables
+
+| Variable | Read by | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | Backend | Used by the `gpt-5-mini` assistant |
+| `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` | Backend | Used by the DeepSeek planner (`planner.py` reads it with `os.getenv`) |
+| `GRAPH_API_URL` | Frontend (server side) | Where the route handler finds the API server. Defaults to `http://localhost:8000`. Compose sets it to `http://backend:8000` |
+| `GRAPH_API_TOKEN` | Frontend (server side) | Sent as a bearer token. Only needed if you enable auth in `10xgraph.json` |
+
+### With Docker
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env # add OPENAI_API_KEY and DEEPSEEK_API_KEY
+docker compose up --build
+```
+
+Open http://localhost:3000. The API server is on http://localhost:8000.
+
+### Without Docker
+
+Use two terminals.
+
+```bash
+# 1. backend
+cd backend
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+cp ../.env.example .env # add your keys
+10xgraph dev --config 10xgraph.json --port 8000 --no-open
+
+# 2. frontend
+cd frontend
+npm install
+GRAPH_API_URL=http://localhost:8000 npm run dev
+```
+
+## How the code works
+
+### Backend configuration: `backend/10xgraph.json`
+
+```json
+{
+ "agent": "graph.agent:app",
+ "env": ".env",
+ "auth": null,
+ "remote_tools": [],
+ "ag_ui": {
+ "enabled": true,
+ "allow_client_tools": true
+ },
+ "thread_name_generator": null
+}
+```
+
+`agent` is the import path of the compiled graph: the `app` variable in `graph/agent.py`. `env` names the file the server loads. `auth` is `null`, so the demo has no authentication. The `ag_ui` block is what makes this app work. `enabled` mounts `POST /v1/ag-ui`. `allow_client_tools` lets the server offer browser tools (here `focus_task`) to the model. Set it to `false` to ignore tools sent by the browser.
+
+### Shared state: `backend/graph/state.py`
+
+```python
+class BoardState(AgentState):
+ """Task board. CopilotKit reads these fields with useAgent(...).state."""
+
+ board_title: str = "My task board"
+ # Each task: {"id": int, "title": str, "status": "todo" | "doing" | "done", "priority": str}
+ tasks: list[dict[str, Any]] = Field(default_factory=list)
+ next_id: int = 1
+```
+
+`BoardState` extends `AgentState` with three fields. The AG-UI endpoint sends custom fields to the browser as `STATE_SNAPSHOT` events (messages are not part of the snapshot). So the board is just this state. `next_id` gives each task a stable id.
+
+### Board tools: `backend/graph/agent.py`
+
+```python
+def _new_task(state: BoardState, title: str, priority: str) -> dict:
+ task = {"id": state.next_id, "title": title, "status": "todo", "priority": priority}
+ state.next_id += 1
+ state.tasks.append(task)
+ return task
+```
+
+A small helper used by `add_task` and `plan_goal`. It changes the state in place.
+
+```python
+def add_task(title: str, priority: str = "medium", state: BoardState | None = None) -> str:
+ """Add one task to the board. priority is low, medium or high."""
+ if state is None:
+ return "No board state available."
+ task = _new_task(state, title, priority)
+ return f"Added task #{task['id']}: {title}"
+```
+
+Every tool has a `state: BoardState | None = None` parameter. 10xGraph injects the current state into it, and the model never sees it in the tool schema. The tool changes `state` and the server sends the new fields to the UI. The docstring becomes the tool description the model reads. `set_task_status` follows the same pattern and validates the status against `_STATUSES`.
+
+```python
+async def plan_goal(goal: str, state: BoardState | None = None) -> str:
+ """Ask the planner agent to split a goal into steps and add them as tasks."""
+ ...
+ steps = await plan_steps(goal)
+ for step in steps:
+ _new_task(state, step, "medium")
+ return f"Planner added {len(steps)} tasks: " + "; ".join(steps)
+```
+
+`plan_goal` is async because it awaits another graph. It calls the DeepSeek planner and adds one task per step.
+
+```python
+decision = interrupt(
+ value={"count": len(done), "titles": [t["title"] for t in done]},
+ message=f"Delete {len(done)} finished task(s)?",
+ reason="clear_done_approval",
+ response_schema={
+ "type": "object",
+ "properties": {"approved": {"type": "boolean"}},
+ "required": ["approved"],
+ },
+)
+if not decision or not decision.get("approved"):
+ return "The user declined. No tasks were deleted."
+state.tasks = [t for t in state.tasks if t["status"] != "done"]
+```
+
+`clear_done_tasks` is the human-in-the-loop step. `interrupt()` pauses the run. The AG-UI endpoint ends the stream with `RUN_FINISHED` and an interrupt outcome, and CopilotKit's `useInterrupt` shows the approval card. When the user answers, the graph resumes and the tool runs again from the top, with `interrupt()` returning the answer. That is why the code comment says nothing with side effects may come before the call. The deletion happens only after approval. If the user cancels, `decision` is `None` and the tasks stay.
+
+```python
+react_agent = ReactAgent(
+ model="gpt-5-mini",
+ state=BoardState(),
+ system_prompt=[...],
+ tools=[add_task, set_task_status, plan_goal, clear_done_tasks],
+)
+
+app = react_agent.compile(checkpointer=InMemoryCheckpointer())
+```
+
+`ReactAgent` wires the MAIN and TOOL nodes and the routing between them. The system prompt tells the model which tool to use for which request, and to call the browser tool `focus_task` after it changes a task. `app` is the name `10xgraph.json` points at. The `InMemoryCheckpointer` keeps thread state in process memory, which matters for deployment (see below).
+
+### Planner graph: `backend/graph/planner.py`
+
+```python
+_planner = ReactAgent(
+ model="deepseek-chat",
+ base_url="https://api.deepseek.com",
+ api_key=os.environ["DEEPSEEK_API_KEY"],
+ system_prompt=[...],
+).compile()
+```
+
+A second graph with no tools, so `ReactAgent` builds a single MAIN node. `base_url` and `api_key` go to the agent, and an unknown model name uses the OpenAI-compatible client, which is how DeepSeek is reached. The prompt asks for one step per line, no numbering.
+
+```python
+async def plan_steps(goal: str) -> list[str]:
+ """Ask the DeepSeek planner for steps. Each call uses a fresh thread."""
+ result = await _planner.ainvoke(
+ {"messages": [Message.text_message(goal)]},
+ {"thread_id": f"planner-{uuid.uuid4()}"},
+ )
+ text = result["messages"][-1].text() if result.get("messages") else ""
+ steps = [line.strip(" -*\t") for line in text.splitlines()]
+ return [s for s in steps if s][:5]
+```
+
+`plan_steps` calls the graph with `ainvoke` and a new thread id each time, so planner calls never share history. It splits the reply into lines, strips bullets, and keeps at most five steps.
+
+### CopilotKit runtime: `frontend/app/api/copilotkit/[[...slug]]/route.ts`
+
+```ts
+const runtime = new CopilotRuntime({
+ agents: {
+ // The key ("graph") is the agentId the React side refers to.
+ graph: new HttpAgent({
+ url: `${GRAPH_URL}/v1/ag-ui`,
+ headers: process.env.GRAPH_API_TOKEN
+ ? { authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.GRAPH_API_TOKEN}` }
+ : {},
+ }),
+ },
+ runner: new InMemoryAgentRunner(),
+});
+```
+
+This is the AG-UI wiring. `HttpAgent` posts to `/v1/ag-ui` and reads the SSE stream. The key `graph` is the `agentId` that `page.tsx` and `Board.tsx` use. The route file runs on the Next.js server, so the optional token never reaches the browser.
+
+```ts
+const handler = createCopilotRuntimeHandler({
+ runtime,
+ basePath: "/api/copilotkit",
+});
+
+export const GET = handler;
+export const POST = handler;
+export const PATCH = handler;
+export const DELETE = handler;
+```
+
+One handler serves every method. The catch-all folder name `[[...slug]]` lets it answer all paths under `/api/copilotkit`.
+
+### Page and browser tool: `frontend/app/page.tsx`
+
+```tsx
+function FocusTool({ onFocus }: { onFocus: (id: number) => void }) {
+ useFrontendTool({
+ name: "focus_task",
+ description: "Highlight a task on the board in the user's browser.",
+ parameters: z.object({ task_id: z.number().describe("The task id to highlight") }),
+ handler: async ({ task_id }) => {
+ onFocus(task_id);
+ return `Highlighted task ${task_id}`;
+ },
+ });
+ return null;
+}
+```
+
+`focus_task` exists only in the browser. CopilotKit sends its schema in `RunAgentInput.tools`, so the model can call it. The server ends the run with the call unanswered, the handler runs in the browser, and CopilotKit starts a new run with the returned string as the result. The component renders nothing; it only registers the tool.
+
+```tsx
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+```
+
+The provider points at the route handler and the `graph` agent. The layout is a two-column grid: board on the left, chat on the right. `focusedId` is local React state that links the browser tool to the board highlight.
+
+### Board: `frontend/components/Board.tsx`
+
+```tsx
+const { agent } = useAgent({ agentId: "graph" });
+const state = (agent.state ?? {}) as BoardState;
+const tasks = state.tasks ?? [];
+```
+
+`useAgent` returns the agent object. Each `STATE_SNAPSHOT` from the server updates `agent.state`, and React re-renders. The component filters tasks into the `todo`, `doing` and `done` columns and highlights the task whose id matches `focusedId`. `agent.state` can be empty before the first run, so the code falls back to `{}`.
+
+### Approval: `frontend/components/Approval.tsx`
+
+```tsx
+useInterrupt({
+ render: ({ interrupt, resolve, cancel }) => {
+ if (!interrupt) return null;
+ ...
+
