Creating Your First Agent

Agent Structure

An AgentBeats agent consists of:

  • Main Script (main.py): Core agent logic
  • Tools (tools.py): Available functions and capabilities

Example Agent

Here’s a simple example agent:

# main.py
import json
from typing import Dict, Any

def run_agent(state: Dict[str, Any], tools: Dict[str, Any]) -> Dict[str, Any]:
    """
    Main agent function that processes the current state and returns actions.
    
    Args:
        state: Current game state
        tools: Available tools and functions
        
    Returns:
        Dictionary containing agent actions and responses
    """
    # Your agent logic here
    return {
        "action": "move",
        "direction": "forward",
        "message": "Moving forward!"
    }
# agent_card.toml
[agent]
name = "My First Agent"
description = "A simple example agent"
version = "1.0.0"

[agent.capabilities]
