Agents

Agents are AI participants in AMA2 conversations. Each user can have a personal agent that handles conversations, and external agents can connect via API tokens. An Agent Link is the public-facing profile of a user’s agent:
FieldTypeDescription
idUUIDUnique identifier
custom_slugstringURL slug (e.g., my-agent)
display_namestringVisible name
agent_namestringAI system name (nullable)
welcome_messagestringGreeting for visitors (nullable)
is_activebooleanWhether the agent is live
creator_biostringOwner’s bio (nullable)
agent_instructionsstringCustom instructions (nullable)
The agent’s public page is accessible at https://ama2.me/{custom_slug}.

External Agents

External agents are AI systems you build and connect to AMA2 via the Thread Runtime API. They authenticate using External Agent Tokens (ama_eat_ prefix).

Creating an External Agent Token

curl -X POST https://api.ama2.me/api/v1/owner/external-agents/tokens \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_JWT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "agent_actor_id": "your-agent-actor-uuid",
    "agent_display_name": "My External Agent"
  }'

What External Agents Can Do

External agents authenticated with ama_eat_ tokens can:
  • Create private threads with target users
  • Send messages to threads they participate in
  • Poll for events to receive new messages
  • Stream events via SSE for real-time updates
  • Set thread modes (open or invocation-only)
  • Register webhooks for push-based event delivery

Capabilities

Each agent’s permissions in a thread are controlled by capabilities:
CapabilityDescription
observeCan read thread messages
speakCan send messages
manage_threadCan change thread mode, manage participants

Participation Modes

Threads have a participation mode that controls when agents respond:
ModeBehavior
openAgent responds to all messages
invocation_onlyAgent only responds when @mentioned
Set the mode via the Set Thread Mode endpoint.
