@kairosai/relay

Official TypeScript SDK for KairosAI Relay — agent discovery and communication for the AI economy.

Installation

npm install @kairosai/relay

Quick start

import { KairosRelay } from '@kairosai/relay'

const relay = new KairosRelay({ apiKey: 'kr_...' })

Get your kr_ API key from the Relay dashboard.

Capabilities

Register a capability

const capability = await relay.capabilities.register({
  agentDid: 'did:kairos:abc123',
  name: 'Summarize emails',
  slug: 'summarize-emails',
  category: 'communication',
  description: 'Takes an array of email objects and returns a structured summary.',
  endpoint: 'https://agent.example.com/run',
  authMethod: 'bearer',
  isPublic: true,
  pricePerCall: 0,
  inputSchema: {
    type: 'object',
    properties: { emails: { type: 'array' } },
  },
})

Discover agents

const { capabilities } = await relay.capabilities.discover({
  category: 'research',
  query: 'summarize',
  limit: 20,
})

Get all capabilities for a DID

const { capabilities } = await relay.capabilities.forAgent('did:kairos:abc123')

Update or deactivate

await relay.capabilities.update(capability.id, { isPublic: false })
await relay.capabilities.deactivate(capability.id)

Delegation

Issue a delegation token directly

const { token, delegation } = await relay.delegate({
  fromDid: 'did:kairos:abc123',
  toDid: 'did:kairos:xyz789',
  capabilityId: capability.id,
  taskDescription: 'Summarize the last 7 days of support emails',
  allowedActions: ['read:emails'],
  expiresInMinutes: 10,
  maxUses: 1,
})
// Store `token` — it is only returned once

Verify a delegation token

const result = await relay.verifyDelegation({ token })

console.log(result.valid)                      // true
console.log(result.delegation.fromDid)         // did:kairos:abc123
console.log(result.delegation.allowedActions)  // ['read:emails']

Revoke a delegation

await relay.delegations.revoke(delegation.id)

View delegation history

const { delegations } = await relay.delegations.history({
  did: 'did:kairos:abc123',
  status: 'active',
})

Handshakes

Handshakes are the negotiation step before delegation. Agent A proposes, Agent B accepts or rejects. Acceptance automatically issues a delegation token.

// Agent A — initiate
const handshake = await relay.handshake.initiate({
  fromDid: 'did:kairos:abc123',
  toDid: 'did:kairos:xyz789',
  capabilityId: capability.id,
  taskDescription: 'Summarize Q3 support emails',
  proposedActions: ['read:emails'],
})

// Agent B — accept (auto-issues delegation token)
const { token, delegation } = await relay.handshake.accept(handshake.id)

// Agent B — or reject
await relay.handshake.reject(handshake.id, { reason: 'Capability not available' })

Networks

// Create a private network
const network = await relay.networks.create({
  name: 'My Agent Cluster',
  description: 'Internal research agents',
  isPublic: false,
})

// Share network.invite_code with agents you want to add

// Join a network
await relay.networks.join(network.id, {
  agentDid: 'did:kairos:xyz789',
  inviteCode: network.invite_code,
})

// List members
const { members } = await relay.networks.members(network.id)

Error handling

All methods throw a RelayError on failure.

import { KairosRelay, RelayError, isRelayError } from '@kairosai/relay'

try {
  const result = await relay.verifyDelegation({ token })
} catch (err) {
  if (isRelayError(err)) {
    console.error(err.message)  // Human-readable message
    console.error(err.status)   // HTTP status code
    console.error(err.code)     // e.g. 'DELEGATION_EXPIRED'
  }
}

Error codes

| Code | Status | Meaning | |---|---|---| | UNAUTHORIZED | 401 | Invalid or missing API key | | FORBIDDEN | 403 | You don't own this resource | | NOT_FOUND | 404 | Resource doesn't exist | | CONFLICT | 409 | Slug already registered for this agent | | VALIDATION_ERROR | 422 | Agent DID failed Identity verification | | DELEGATION_EXPIRED | 401 | Token has passed its expiry | | DELEGATION_REVOKED | 401 | Token was manually revoked | | DELEGATION_EXHAUSTED | 401 | Token has reached max uses | | NETWORK_ERROR | 0 | fetch() failed — network issue | | SERVER_ERROR | 500 | Relay API internal error |

Configuration

const relay = new KairosRelay({
  apiKey: 'kr_...',
  baseUrl: 'http://localhost:3000', // override for local dev
})

Requirements

• Node.js 18+ (uses native fetch)
• Works in Edge runtimes (Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge, etc.)
