Execution Flow
How requests flow through Agent Kernel from user input to agent response.
Request Lifecycle
Detailed Flow
1. Request Reception
The request enters through one of the execution modes:
- CLI: Interactive terminal input
- REST API: HTTP POST to
/api/v1/chatendpoint - AWS Lambda: Lambda event
- WebSocket: WebSocket message via WebSocket API Gateway
- MCP/A2A: Protocol-specific request
2. Agent Resolution
runtime = Runtime.get()
agent = runtime.get_agent(agent_name)
3. Session Management
session = runtime.get_session(session_id)
# Loads existing session or creates new one
4. Agent Execution
result = await agent.runner.run(agent, session, prompt)
5. Response Return
Result is formatted and returned to the user through the appropriate channel.
