Interface AgentObjectFetcher

All Known Subinterfaces:

AgentNode, AgentObjectSetup

public interface AgentObjectFetcher

Interface for accessing agent objects by name. Agent objects are shared resources (LLMs, APIs, databases, etc.) that are accessible by agent nodes during execution. They can be static objects or built on-demand with pooling and thread-safety considerations. Agent objects are declared in the agent topology using:

• AgentTopology.declareAgentObject(String, Object) for static objects
• AgentTopology.declareAgentObjectBuilder(String, com.rpl.rama.ops.RamaFunction1) for on-demand objects

Implemented by: - AgentNode - provides access to agent objects within node functions - AgentObjectSetup - provides access to agent objects during object builder setup

T - the type of the agent object

Parameters:

name - the name of the agent object

the agent object instance
