When the user asks you to write AgentScope Java code, follow these instructions carefully.
## CRITICAL RULES - NEVER VIOLATE THESE
**🚫 ABSOLUTELY FORBIDDEN:**
1. **NEVER use `.block()` in example code** - This is the #1 mistake. Only use `.block()` in `main()` methods or test code when explicitly creating a runnable example.
2. **NEVER use `Thread.sleep()`** - Use `Mono.delay()` instead.
3. **NEVER use `ThreadLocal`** - Use Reactor Context with `Mono.deferContextual()`.
4. **NEVER hardcode API keys** - Always use `System.getenv()`.
5. **NEVER ignore errors silently** - Always log errors and provide fallback values.
6. **NEVER use wrong import paths** - All models are in `io.agentscope.core.model.*`, NOT `io.agentscope.model.*`.
**✅ ALWAYS DO:**
1. **Use `Mono` and `Flux`** for all asynchronous operations.
2. **Chain operations** with `.map()`, `.flatMap()`, `.then()`.
3. **Use Builder pattern** for creating agents, models, and messages.
4. **Include error handling** with `.onErrorResume()` or `.onErrorReturn()`.
5. **Add logging** with SLF4J for important operations.
6. **Use correct imports**: `import io.agentscope.core.model.DashScopeChatModel;`
7. **Use correct APIs** (many methods don't exist or have changed):
- `toolkit.registerTool()` NOT `registerObject()`
- `toolkit.getToolNames()` NOT `getTools()`
- `event.getToolUse().getName()` NOT `getToolName()`
- `result.getOutput()` NOT `getContent()` (ToolResultBlock)
- `event.getToolResult()` NOT `getResult()` (PostActingEvent)
- `toolUse.getInput()` NOT `getArguments()` (ToolUseBlock)
- Model builder: NO `temperature()` method, use `defaultOptions(GenerateOptions.builder()...)`
- Hook events: NO `getMessages()`, `getResponse()`, `getIterationCount()`, `getThinkingBlock()` methods
- ToolResultBlock: NO `getToolUseName()` method, use `event.getToolUse().getName()` instead
- ToolResultBlock.getOutput() returns `List<ContentBlock>` NOT `String`, need to convert
- **@ToolParam format**: MUST use `@ToolParam(name = "x", description = "y")` NOT `@ToolParam(name="x")`
---
## WHEN GENERATING CODE
**FIRST: Identify the context**
- Is this a `main()` method or test code? → `.block()` is allowed (but add a warning comment)
- Is this agent logic, service method, or library code? → `.block()` is **FORBIDDEN**
**For every code example you provide:**
1. Check: Does it use `.block()`? → If yes in non-main/non-test code, **REWRITE IT**.
2. Check: Are all operations non-blocking? → If no, **FIX IT**.
3. Check: Does it have error handling? → If no, **ADD IT**.
4. Check: Are API keys from environment? → If no, **CHANGE IT**.
5. Check: Are imports correct? → If using `io.agentscope.model.*`, **FIX TO** `io.agentscope.core.model.*`.
**Default code structure for agent logic:**
```java
// ✅ CORRECT - Non-blocking, reactive (use this pattern by default)
return model.generate(messages, null, null)
.map(response -> processResponse(response))
.onErrorResume(e -> {
log.error("Operation failed", e);
return Mono.just(fallbackValue);
});
// ❌ WRONG - Never generate this in agent logic
String result = model.generate(messages, null, null).block(); // DON'T DO THIS
```
**Only for main() methods (add warning comment):**
```java
public static void main(String[] args) {
// ⚠️ .block() is ONLY allowed here because this is a main() method
Msg response = agent.call(userMsg).block();
System.out.println(response.getTextContent());
}
```
---
## PROJECT SETUP
**When creating a new AgentScope project, use the correct Maven dependencies:**
### Maven Configuration (pom.xml)
**For production use (recommended):**
```xml
<properties>
<java.version>17</java.version>
</properties>
<dependencies>
<!-- Use the latest stable release from Maven Central -->
<dependency>
<groupId>io.agentscope</groupId>
<artifactId>agentscope</artifactId>
<version>1.0.9</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
```
**For local development (if working with source code):**
```xml
<properties>
<agentscope.version>1.0.9</agentscope.version>
<java.version>17</java.version>
</properties>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.agentscope</groupId>
<artifactId>agentscope-core</artifactId>
<version>${agentscope.version}</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
```
**⚠️ IMPORTANT: Version Selection**
- **Use `agentscope:1.0.9`** for production (stable, from Maven Central)
- **Use `agentscope-core:1.0.9`** only if you're developing AgentScope itself
- **NEVER use version `0.1.0-SNAPSHOT`** - this version doesn't exist
### ⚠️ CRITICAL: Common Dependency Mistakes
**❌ WRONG - These artifacts don't exist:**
```xml
<!-- DON'T use these - they don't exist -->
<dependency>
<groupId>io.agentscope</groupId>
<artifactId>agentscope-model-dashscope</artifactId> <!-- ❌ WRONG -->
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.agentscope</groupId>
<artifactId>agentscope-model-openai</artifactId> <!-- ❌ WRONG -->
</dependency>
```
**❌ WRONG - These versions don't exist:**
```xml
<dependency>
<groupId>io.agentscope</groupId>
<artifactId>agentscope-core</artifactId>
<version>0.1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <!-- ❌ WRONG - doesn't exist -->
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.agentscope</groupId>
<artifactId>agentscope</artifactId>
<version>0.1.0</version> <!-- ❌ WRONG - doesn't exist -->
</dependency>
```
**✅ CORRECT - Use the stable release:**
```xml
<!-- For production: use the stable release from Maven Central -->
<dependency>
<groupId>io.agentscope</groupId>
<artifactId>agentscope</artifactId>
<version>1.0.9</version> <!-- ✅ CORRECT -->
</dependency>
```
### Available Model Classes (all in agentscope-core)
```java
// DashScope (Alibaba Cloud)
import io.agentscope.core.model.DashScopeChatModel;
// OpenAI
import io.agentscope.core.model.OpenAIChatModel;
// Gemini (Google)
import io.agentscope.core.model.GeminiChatModel;
// Anthropic (Claude)
import io.agentscope.core.model.AnthropicChatModel;
// Ollama (Local models)
import io.agentscope.core.model.OllamaChatModel;
```
### Optional Extensions
```xml
<!-- Long-term memory with Mem0 -->
<dependency>
<groupId>io.agentscope</groupId>
<artifactId>agentscope-extensions-mem0</artifactId>
<version>${agentscope.version}</version>
</dependency>
<!-- RAG with Dify -->
<dependency>
<groupId>io.agentscope</groupId>
<artifactId>agentscope-extensions-rag-dify</artifactId>
<version>${agentscope.version}</version>
</dependency>
```

## PROJECT OVERVIEW & ARCHITECTURE
AgentScope Java is a reactive, message-driven multi-agent framework built on **Project Reactor** and **Java 17+**.
### Core Abstractions
- **`Agent`**: The fundamental unit of execution. Most agents extend `AgentBase`.
- **`Msg`**: The message object exchanged between agents.
- **`Memory`**: Stores conversation history (`InMemoryMemory`, `LongTermMemory`).
- **`Toolkit` & `AgentTool`**: Defines capabilities the agent can use.
- **`Model`**: Interfaces with LLMs (OpenAI, DashScope, Gemini, Anthropic, etc.).
- **`Hook`**: Intercepts and modifies agent execution at various lifecycle points.
- **`Pipeline`**: Orchestrates multiple agents in sequential or parallel patterns.
### Reactive Nature
Almost all operations (agent calls, model inference, tool execution) return `Mono<T>` or `Flux<T>`.
### Key Design Principles
1. **Non-blocking**: All I/O operations are asynchronous
2. **Message-driven**: Agents communicate via immutable `Msg` objects
3. **Composable**: Agents and pipelines can be nested and combined
4. **Extensible**: Hooks and custom tools allow deep customization
---
## CODING STANDARDS & BEST PRACTICES
### 2.1 Java Version & Style
**Target Java 17 (LTS) for maximum compatibility:**
- Use **Java 17** features (Records, Switch expressions, Pattern Matching for instanceof, `var`, Sealed classes)
- **AVOID Java 21+ preview features** (pattern matching in switch, record patterns)
- Follow standard Java conventions (PascalCase for classes, camelCase for methods/variables)
- Use **Lombok** where appropriate (`@Data`, `@Builder` for DTOs/Messages)
- Prefer **immutability** for data classes
- Use **meaningful names** that reflect domain concepts
**⚠️ CRITICAL: Avoid Preview Features**
```java
// ❌ WRONG - Requires Java 21 with --enable-preview
return switch (event) {
case PreReasoningEvent e -> Mono.just(e); // Pattern matching in switch
default -> Mono.just(event);
};
// ✅ CORRECT - Java 17 compatible
if (event instanceof PreReasoningEvent e) { // Pattern matching for instanceof (Java 17)
return Mono.just(event);
} else {
return Mono.just(event);
}
```
### 2.2 Reactive Programming (Critical)
**⚠️ NEVER BLOCK IN AGENT LOGIC**
Blocking operations will break the reactive chain and cause performance issues.
**Rules:**
- ❌ **Never use `.block()`** in agent logic (only in `main` methods or tests)
- ✅ Use `Mono` for single results (e.g., `agent.call()`)
- ✅ Use `Flux` for streaming responses (e.g., `model.stream()`)
- ✅ Chain operations using `.map()`, `.flatMap()`, `.then()`
- ✅ Use `Mono.defer()` for lazy evaluation
- ✅ Use `Mono.deferContextual()` for reactive context access
**Example:**
```java
// ❌ WRONG - Blocking
public Mono<String> processData(String input) {
String result = externalService.call(input).block(); // DON'T DO THIS
return Mono.just(result);
}
// ✅ CORRECT - Non-blocking
public Mono<String> processData(String input) {
return externalService.call(input)
.map(this::transform)
.flatMap(this::validate);
}
```
### 2.3 Message Handling (`Msg`)
Create messages using the Builder pattern:
```java
Msg userMsg = Msg.builder()
.role(MsgRole.USER)
.content(TextBlock.builder().text("Hello").build())
.name("user")
.build();
```
**Content Blocks:**
- **`TextBlock`**: For text content
- **`ThinkingBlock`**: For Chain of Thought (CoT) reasoning
- **`ToolUseBlock`**: For tool calls
- **`ToolResultBlock`**: For tool outputs
**Helper Methods:**
```java
// Prefer safe helper methods
String text = msg.getTextContent(); // Safe, returns null if not found
// Avoid direct access
String text = msg.getContent().get(0).getText(); // May throw NPE
```
### 2.4 Implementing Agents
Extend `AgentBase` and implement `doCall(List<Msg> msgs)`:
```java
public class MyAgent extends AgentBase {
private final Model model;
private final Memory memory;
public MyAgent(String name, Model model) {
super(name, "A custom agent", true, List.of());
this.model = model;
this.memory = new InMemoryMemory();
}
@Override
protected Mono<Msg> doCall(List<Msg> msgs) {
// 1. Process inputs
if (msgs != null) {
msgs.forEach(memory::addMessage);
}
// 2. Call model or logic
return model.generate(memory.getMessages(), null, null)
.map(response -> Msg.builder()
.name(getName())
.role(MsgRole.ASSISTANT)
.content(TextBlock.builder().text(response.getText()).build())
.build());
}
}
```
### 2.5 Tool Definition
Use `@Tool` annotation for function-based tools. Tools can return:
- **`String`** (synchronous)
- **`Mono<String>`** (asynchronous)
- **`Mono<ToolResultBlock>`** (for complex results)
**⚠️ CRITICAL: @ToolParam Format**
- ✅ CORRECT: `@ToolParam(name = "city", description = "City name")`
- ❌ WRONG: `@ToolParam(name="city", description="...")` (no spaces around `=`)
- ❌ WRONG: `@ToolParam("city")` (missing name= and description=)
**Synchronous Tool Example:**
```java
public class WeatherTools {
@Tool(description = "Get current weather for a city. Returns temperature and conditions.")
public String getWeather(
@ToolParam(name = "city", description = "City name, e.g., 'San Francisco'")
String city) {
// Implementation
return "Sunny, 25°C";
}
}
```
**Asynchronous Tool Example:**
```java
public class AsyncTools {
private final WebClient webClient;
@Tool(description = "Fetch data from trusted API endpoint")
public Mono<String> fetchData(
@ToolParam(name = "url", description = "API endpoint URL (must start with https://api.myservice.com)")
String url) {
// SECURITY: Validate URL to prevent SSRF
if (!url.startsWith("https://api.myservice.com")) {
return Mono.just("Error: URL not allowed. Must start with https://api.myservice.com");
}
return webClient.get()
.uri(url)
.retrieve()
.bodyToMono(String.class)
.timeout(Duration.ofSeconds(10))
.onErrorResume(e -> Mono.just("Error: " + e.getMessage()));
}
}
```
**Register with Toolkit:**
```java
Toolkit toolkit = new Toolkit();
toolkit.registerTool(new WeatherTools());
toolkit.registerTool(new AsyncTools());
```
---
## HOOK SYSTEM
Hooks allow you to intercept and modify agent execution at various lifecycle points.
### Hook Interface
```java
public interface Hook {
<T extends HookEvent> Mono<T> onEvent(T event);
default int priority() { return 100; } // Lower = higher priority
}
```
### Common Hook Events
- **`PreReasoningEvent`**: Before LLM reasoning (modifiable)
- **`PostReasoningEvent`**: After LLM reasoning (modifiable)
- **`ReasoningChunkEvent`**: Streaming reasoning chunks (notification)
- **`PreActingEvent`**: Before tool execution (modifiable)
- **`PostActingEvent`**: After tool execution (modifiable)
- **`ActingChunkEvent`**: Streaming tool execution (notification)
### Hook Example
**Java 17+ compatible (recommended):**
```java
Hook loggingHook = new Hook() {
@Override
public <T extends HookEvent> Mono<T> onEvent(T event) {
// Use if-instanceof instead of switch patterns (Java 17 compatible)
if (event instanceof PreReasoningEvent e) {
log.info("Reasoning with model: {}", e.getModelName());
return Mono.just(event);
} else if (event instanceof PreActingEvent e) {
log.info("Calling tool: {}", e.getToolUse().getName());
return Mono.just(event);
} else if (event instanceof PostActingEvent e) {
log.info("Tool {} completed", e.getToolUse().getName());
return Mono.just(event);
} else {
return Mono.just(event);
}
}
@Override
public int priority() {
return 500; // Low priority (logging)
}
};
ReActAgent agent = ReActAgent.builder()
.name("Assistant")
.model(model)
.hook(loggingHook)
.build();
```
**Alternative: Traditional if-else (Java 17):**
```java
Hook loggingHook = new Hook() {
@Override
public <T extends HookEvent> Mono<T> onEvent(T event) {
if (event instanceof PreReasoningEvent) {
PreReasoningEvent e = (PreReasoningEvent) event;
log.info("Reasoning with model: {}", e.getModelName());
} else if (event instanceof PreActingEvent) {
PreActingEvent e = (PreActingEvent) event;
log.info("Calling tool: {}", e.getToolUse().getName());
} else if (event instanceof PostActingEvent) {
PostActingEvent e = (PostActingEvent) event;
log.info("Tool {} completed", e.getToolUse().getName());
}
return Mono.just(event);
}
@Override
public int priority() {
return 500;
}
};
```
**Priority Guidelines:**
- **0-50**: Critical system hooks (auth, security)
- **51-100**: High priority hooks (validation, preprocessing)
- **101-500**: Normal priority hooks (business logic)
- **501-1000**: Low priority hooks (logging, metrics)
---
## PIPELINE PATTERNS
Pipelines orchestrate multiple agents in structured workflows.
### Sequential Pipeline
Executes agents in sequence (output of one becomes input of next):
```java
SequentialPipeline pipeline = SequentialPipeline.builder()
.addAgent(researchAgent)
.addAgent(summaryAgent)
.addAgent(reviewAgent)
.build();
Msg result = pipeline.execute(userInput).block();
```
### Fanout Pipeline
Executes agents in parallel and aggregates results:
```java
FanoutPipeline pipeline = FanoutPipeline.builder()
.addAgent(agent1)
.addAgent(agent2)
.addAgent(agent3)
.build();
Msg result = pipeline.execute(userInput).block();
```
**When to Use:**
- **Sequential**: When each agent depends on the previous agent's output
- **Fanout**: When agents can work independently and results need aggregation
---
## MEMORY MANAGEMENT
### In-Memory (Short-term)
```java
Memory memory = new InMemoryMemory();
```
### Long-Term Memory
```java
// Configure long-term memory
LongTermMemory longTermMemory = Mem0LongTermMemory.builder()
.apiKey(System.getenv("MEM0_API_KEY"))
.userId("user_123")
.build();
// Use with agent
ReActAgent agent = ReActAgent.builder()
.name("Assistant")
.model(model)
.longTermMemory(longTermMemory)
.longTermMemoryMode(LongTermMemoryMode.BOTH) // STATIC_CONTROL, AGENTIC, or BOTH
.build();
```
**Memory Modes:**
- **`STATIC_CONTROL`**: Framework automatically manages memory (via hooks)
- **`AGENTIC`**: Agent decides when to use memory (via tools)
- **`BOTH`**: Combines both approaches
---
## MCP (MODEL CONTEXT PROTOCOL) INTEGRATION
AgentScope supports MCP for integrating external tools and resources.
```java
// Create MCP client
// SECURITY: In production, use a specific version or a local binary to prevent supply chain attacks
McpClientWrapper mcpClient = McpClientBuilder.stdio()
.command("npx")
.args("-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem@0.6.2", "/path/to/files") // Always pin versions
.build();
// Register with toolkit
Toolkit toolkit = new Toolkit();
toolkit.registration()
.mcpClient(mcpClient)
.enableTools(List.of("read_file", "write_file"))
.apply();
// Use with agent
ReActAgent agent = ReActAgent.builder()
.name("Assistant")
.model(model)
.toolkit(toolkit)
.build();
```
---
## TESTING
### Unit Testing with StepVerifier
```java
@Test
void testAgentCall() {
Msg input = Msg.builder()
.role(MsgRole.USER)
.content(TextBlock.builder().text("Hello").build())
.build();
StepVerifier.create(agent.call(input))
.assertNext(response -> {
assertEquals(MsgRole.ASSISTANT, response.getRole());
assertNotNull(response.getTextContent());
})
.verifyComplete();
}
```
### Mocking External Dependencies
```java
@Test
void testWithMockModel() {
Model mockModel = mock(Model.class);
when(mockModel.generate(any(), any(), any()))
.thenReturn(Mono.just(ChatResponse.builder()
.text("Mocked response")
.build()));
ReActAgent agent = ReActAgent.builder()
.name("TestAgent")
.model(mockModel)
.build();
// Test agent behavior
}
```
**Testing Best Practices:**
- Always test reactive chains with `StepVerifier`
- Mock external dependencies (models, APIs)
- Test error cases and edge conditions
- Verify that hooks are called correctly
- Test timeout and cancellation scenarios
---
## CODE STYLE GUIDE
### Logging
```java
private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyClass.class);
// Use parameterized logging
log.info("Processing message from user: {}", userId);
log.error("Failed to call model: {}", modelName, exception);
```
### Error Handling
```java
// Prefer specific error messages
return Mono.error(new IllegalArgumentException(
"Invalid model name: " + modelName + ". Expected one of: " + VALID_MODELS));
// Use onErrorResume for graceful degradation
return model.generate(msgs, null, null)
.onErrorResume(e -> {
log.error("Model call failed, using fallback", e);
return Mono.just(fallbackResponse);
});
```
### Null Safety
```java
// Use Optional for nullable returns
public Optional<AgentTool> findTool(String name) {
return Optional.ofNullable(tools.get(name));
}
// Use Objects.requireNonNull for validation
public MyAgent(Model model) {
this.model = Objects.requireNonNull(model, "Model cannot be null");
}
```
### Comments
```java
// Use Javadoc for public APIs
/**
* Creates a new agent with the specified configuration.
*
* @param name The agent name (must be unique)
* @param model The LLM model to use
* @return Configured agent instance
* @throws IllegalArgumentException if name is null or empty
*/
public static ReActAgent create(String name, Model model) {
// Implementation
}
// Use inline comments sparingly, only for complex logic
// Calculate exponential backoff: 2^attempt * baseDelay
Duration delay = Duration.ofMillis((long) Math.pow(2, attempt) * baseDelayMs);
```
---
## KEY LIBRARIES
- **Reactor Core**: `Mono`, `Flux` for reactive programming
- **Jackson**: JSON serialization/deserialization
- **SLF4J**: Logging (`private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyClass.class);`)
- **OkHttp**: HTTP client for model APIs
- **MCP SDK**: Model Context Protocol integration
- **JUnit 5**: Testing framework
- **Mockito**: Mocking framework
- **Lombok**: Boilerplate reduction
---
## PROHIBITED PRACTICES
### ❌ NEVER Do These
1. **Block in reactive chains**
```java
// ❌ WRONG
return someMonoOperation().block();
```
2. **Use Thread.sleep() or blocking I/O**
```java
// ❌ WRONG
Thread.sleep(1000);
// ✅ CORRECT
return Mono.delay(Duration.ofSeconds(1));
```
3. **Mutate shared state without synchronization**
```java
// ❌ WRONG
private List<Msg> messages = new ArrayList<>();
public void addMessage(Msg msg) {
messages.add(msg); // Not thread-safe
}
```
4. **Ignore errors silently**
```java
// ❌ WRONG
.onErrorResume(e -> Mono.empty())
// ✅ CORRECT
.onErrorResume(e -> {
log.error("Operation failed", e);
return Mono.just(fallbackValue);
})
```
5. **Use ThreadLocal in reactive code**
```java
// ❌ WRONG
ThreadLocal<String> context = new ThreadLocal<>();
// ✅ CORRECT
return Mono.deferContextual(ctx -> {
String value = ctx.get("key");
// Use value
});
```
6. **Create agents without proper resource management**
```java
// ❌ WRONG - No cleanup
public void processRequests() {
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
ReActAgent agent = createAgent();
agent.call(msg).block();
}
}
```
7. **Hardcode API keys or secrets**
```java
// ❌ WRONG
String apiKey = "sk-1234567890";
// ✅ CORRECT
String apiKey = System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY");
```
8. **Use Java preview features (requires --enable-preview)**
```java
// ❌ WRONG - Requires Java 21 with --enable-preview
return switch (event) {
case PreReasoningEvent e -> handleReasoning(e);
case PostActingEvent e -> handleActing(e);
default -> Mono.just(event);
};
// ✅ CORRECT - Java 17 compatible
if (event instanceof PreReasoningEvent e) {
return handleReasoning(e);
} else if (event instanceof PostActingEvent e) {
return handleActing(e);
} else {
return Mono.just(event);
}
```
---
## COMMON PITFALLS & SOLUTIONS
### ❌ Blocking Operations
```java
// WRONG
Msg response = agent.call(msg).block(); // Don't block in agent logic
```
```java
// CORRECT
return agent.call(msg)
.flatMap(response -> processResponse(response));
```
### ❌ Null Handling
```java
// WRONG
String text = msg.getContent().get(0).getText(); // May throw NPE
```
```java
// CORRECT
String text = msg.getTextContent(); // Safe helper method
// OR
String text = msg.getContentBlocks(TextBlock.class).stream()
.findFirst()
.map(TextBlock::getText)
.orElse("");
```
### ❌ Thread Context
```java
// WRONG
ThreadLocal<String> context = new ThreadLocal<>(); // May not work in reactive streams
```
```java
// CORRECT
return Mono.deferContextual(ctx -> {
String value = ctx.get("key");
// Use value
});
```
### ❌ Error Swallowing
```java
// WRONG
.onErrorResume(e -> Mono.empty()) // Silent failure
```
```java
// CORRECT
.onErrorResume(e -> {
log.error("Failed to process: {}", input, e);
return Mono.just(createErrorResponse(e));
})
```

## QUICK REFERENCE
### Agent Creation
```java
ReActAgent agent = ReActAgent.builder()
.name("AgentName")
.sysPrompt("System prompt")
.model(model)
.toolkit(toolkit)
.memory(memory)
.hooks(hooks)
.maxIters(10)
.build();
```
### Message Creation
```java
Msg msg = Msg.builder()
.role(MsgRole.USER)
.content(TextBlock.builder().text("Hello").build())
.build();
```
### Tool Registration
```java
Toolkit toolkit = new Toolkit();
toolkit.registerTool(new MyTools());
```
### Hook Creation
```java
Hook hook = new Hook() {
public <T extends HookEvent> Mono<T> onEvent(T event) {
// Handle event
return Mono.just(event);
}
};
```
### Pipeline Creation
```java
SequentialPipeline pipeline = SequentialPipeline.builder()
.addAgent(agent1)
.addAgent(agent2)
.build();
```
