Use this page to choose the detailed reference; it intentionally does not duplicate every signature.

Need	Reference

Build an Agent or inspect serialized fields	Agent definition fields
Validate the agent configuration contract	Agent configuration schema

Primary types

AgentRuntime is the high-level, thread-safe entry point. Use run when the caller waits for an AgentResult, start when it needs an AgentHandle, stream for events, and deploy or serve for long-lived agent definitions. The runtime reference contains constructors, overloads, environment variables, and lifecycle behavior.

AgentClient, from new OrkesClients(conductorClient).getAgentClient(), is the lower-level control-plane client. Use it for direct compile, deploy, start, status, response, cancellation, and SSE operations; see the client reference.
