Agent0 SDK

Agent0 is the TypeScript SDK for agentic economies. It enables agents to register, advertise their capabilities and how to communicate with them, and give each other feedback and reputation signals. All this using blockchain infrastructure (ERC-8004) and decentralized storage, enabling permissionless discovery without relying on proprietary catalogues or intermediaries.

What Does Agent0 SDK Do?

Agent0 SDK enables you to:

Create and manage agent identities - Register your AI agent on-chain with a unique identity, configure presentation fields (name, description, image), set wallet addresses, and manage trust models with x402 support
Advertise agent capabilities - Publish MCP and A2A endpoints, with automated extraction of MCP tools and A2A skills from endpoints
OASF taxonomies - Advertise standardized skills and domains using the Open Agentic Schema Framework (OASF) taxonomies for better discovery and interoperability
Enable permissionless discovery - Make your agent discoverable by other agents and platforms using rich search by attributes, capabilities, skills, tools, tasks, and x402 support
Build reputation - Give and receive feedback, retrieve feedback history, and search agents by reputation with cryptographic authentication
Cross-chain registration - One-line registration with IPFS nodes, Pinata, Filecoin, or HTTP URIs
Public indexing - Subgraph indexing both on-chain and IPFS data for fast search and retrieval

Release (1.7.0)

This release adds two major new capabilities to the TypeScript SDK: x402 payment-required HTTP and A2A (Agent-to-Agent) messaging/task support.

x402 request flows: sdk.request() / sdk.fetchWithX402() now return { x402Required: true, x402Payment } on HTTP 402 instead of throwing, so callers can inspect payment requirements and continue with x402Payment.pay() or x402Payment.payFirst().
A2A client flows: Agent.messageA2A(), Agent.listTasks(), Agent.loadTask(), and sdk.createA2AClient(...) let you talk to A2A endpoints from either a loaded Agent or an AgentSummary.
Cross-chain/RPC improvements: built-in default RPCs plus overrideRpcUrls support x402 payments and agent loading across multiple chains from one SDK instance.
Examples, tests, and docs: the release ships with a full examples/x402-a2a-demo.ts, extensive unit/integration/Anvil coverage, and updated public docs.

Installation

Prerequisites

Node.js 22 or higher
npm or yarn package manager
Private key for signing transactions (or run in read-only mode)
Access to an Ethereum RPC endpoint (e.g., Alchemy, Infura)
(Optional) IPFS provider account (Pinata, Filecoin, or local IPFS node)

Install from npm

npm install agent0-sdk

To install a specific version explicitly:

npm install [email protected]

Note: This package is an ESM (ECMAScript Module) package. Use import statements in your code:

import { SDK } from 'agent0-sdk';

Install from Source

git clone https://github.com/agent0lab/agent0-ts.git
cd agent0-ts
npm install
npm run build

Note: The generated TypeScript types are created as part of npm run build (or manually with npm run codegen). Always use npm run build instead of running tsc directly.

Quick Start

1. Initialize SDK (server-side)

import { SDK } from 'agent0-sdk';

// Initialize SDK with IPFS and subgraph
const sdk = new SDK({
  chainId: 11155111, // Ethereum Sepolia testnet (use 1 for Ethereum Mainnet)
  rpcUrl: process.env.RPC_URL, // Optional for supported chains (built-in default RPC is used if omitted)
  privateKey: process.env.PRIVATE_KEY ?? process.env.AGENT_PRIVATE_KEY, // Optional: for write operations
  ipfs: 'pinata', // Options: 'pinata', 'filecoinPin', 'node' (Kubo daemon), 'helia' (embedded)
  pinataJwt: process.env.PINATA_JWT // For Pinata
  // Subgraph URL auto-defaults from DEFAULT_SUBGRAPH_URLS
});

1b. Initialize SDK (browser-side with ERC-6963 wallets)

In the browser you typically keep reads on your RPC (default or rpcUrl) and use a wallet (EIP-1193) for writes.

import { SDK } from 'agent0-sdk';
import { discoverEip6963Providers, connectEip1193 } from 'agent0-sdk/eip6963';

const providers = await discoverEip6963Providers();
if (providers.length === 0) throw new Error('No injected wallets found');

// Pick a wallet (UI selection recommended)
const { provider } = providers[0];
await connectEip1193(provider); // prompts user

const sdk = new SDK({
  chainId: 11155111,
  rpcUrl: 'https://sepolia.infura.io/v3/YOUR_PROJECT_ID',
  walletProvider: provider,
});

2. Create and Register Agent

// Create agent
const agent = sdk.createAgent(
  'My AI Agent',
  'An intelligent assistant for various tasks. Skills: data analysis, code generation.',
  'https://example.com/agent-image.png'
);

// Configure endpoints (automatically extracts capabilities)
await agent.setMCP('https://mcp.example.com/'); // Extracts tools, prompts, resources
await agent.setA2A('https://a2a.example.com/agent-card.json'); // Extracts skills
agent.setENS('myagent.eth');

// Add OASF skills and domains (standardized taxonomies)
agent.addSkill('data_engineering/data_transformation_pipeline', true);
agent.addSkill('natural_language_processing/natural_language_generation/summarization', true);
agent.addDomain('finance_and_business/investment_services', true);
agent.addDomain('technology/data_science/data_science', true);

// Optionally set a dedicated agent wallet on-chain (requires new wallet signature).
// If you want agentWallet = owner wallet, you can skip this (contract sets initial value to owner).
// await agent.setWallet('0x...', { newWalletPrivateKey: process.env.NEW_WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY });
agent.setTrust(true, true, false); // reputation, cryptoEconomic, teeAttestation

// Add metadata and set status
agent.setMetadata({ version: '1.0.0', category: 'ai-assistant' });
agent.setActive(true);

// Register on-chain with IPFS
const registrationFile = await agent.registerIPFS();
console.log(`Agent registered: ${registrationFile.agentId}`); // e.g., "11155111:123"
console.log(`Agent URI: ${registrationFile.agentURI}`); // e.g., "ipfs://Qm..."

2b. Fully on-chain registration (EIP-8004 `data:` URI)

ERC-8004 allows storing the entire registration JSON directly on-chain by setting agentURI/tokenURI to a base64 JSON data URI (e.g. data:application/json;base64,...).

// Register (or update) with a fully on-chain registration file (data URI)
const tx = await agent.registerOnChain();
const { result: registrationFile } = await tx.waitConfirmed({ timeoutMs: 180_000 });
console.log(`Agent URI (on-chain data): ${registrationFile.agentURI}`);

Notes:

Gas: data URIs can be expensive; keep registration files compact.
Size limit: loadAgent() enforces a default max decoded size of 256 KiB for data URIs. Override with:

const sdk = new SDK({
  chainId: 11155111,
  rpcUrl: process.env.RPC_URL!,
  registrationDataUriMaxBytes: 512 * 1024,
});

3. Load and Edit Agent

// Load existing agent for editing
const agent = await sdk.loadAgent('11155111:123'); // Format: "chainId:agentId"

// Edit agent properties
agent.updateInfo(undefined, 'Updated description with new capabilities', undefined);
await agent.setMCP('https://new-mcp.example.com/');

// Re-register to update on-chain
await agent.registerIPFS();
console.log(`Updated: ${agent.agentURI}`);

4. Search Agents

// Unified search (single chain): agent filters + reputation filters in one call
const results = await sdk.searchAgents(
  {
    name: 'AI', // substring
    mcpTools: ['code_generation'],
    a2aSkills: ['python'],
    active: true,
    x402support: true,
    feedback: { minValue: 80, tag: 'enterprise', includeRevoked: false },
  },
  { sort: ['updatedAt:desc'] }
);

for (const agent of results) {
  console.log(`${agent.name}: ${agent.description}`);
  console.log(`  Tools: ${agent.mcpTools?.join(', ')}`);
  console.log(`  Skills: ${agent.a2aSkills?.join(', ')}`);
}

// Multi-chain search (SDK defaults include 1, 11155111, 137)
const multiChainResults = await sdk.searchAgents({ active: true, chains: [1, 11155111, 137] });

console.log(`Found ${multiChainResults.length} agents across chains`);

// Get single agent (read-only, faster)
// Supports chainId:agentId format
const agentSummary = await sdk.getAgent('11155111:123'); // explicit chainId:agentId

4a. Multi-Chain Search

// Search across multiple chains
const results = await sdk.searchAgents({
  active: true,
  chains: [1, 11155111, 137] // Ethereum Mainnet, Ethereum Sepolia, Polygon Mainnet
});

// Search all configured chains
const allResults = await sdk.searchAgents({
  active: true,
  chains: 'all' // Searches all configured chains
});

// Search agents by feedback-derived reputation across chains (unified search)
const reputationResults = await sdk.searchAgents(
  { chains: [1, 11155111, 137], feedback: { minValue: 80, includeRevoked: false } }
);

// Get agent from specific chain
const agent = await sdk.getAgent('1:123'); // Ethereum Mainnet

// Search feedback for a specific agent (unchanged)
const feedbacks = await sdk.searchFeedback({ agentId: '1:123' }); // Ethereum Mainnet

// NEW: Search feedback given by a reviewer wallet (across all agents)
const givenFeedback = await sdk.searchFeedback({
  reviewers: ['0x742d35cc6634c0532925a3b844bc9e7595f0beb7'],
});

// NEW: Search feedback across multiple agents at once
const multiFeedback = await sdk.searchFeedback({
  agents: ['1:123', '1:456', '11155111:789'],
});

// Get reputation summary for agent on specific chain
const summary = await sdk.getReputationSummary('1:123'); // Ethereum Mainnet

5. Give and Retrieve Feedback

// Optional: prepare an OFF-CHAIN feedback file (only needed for rich fields)
const feedbackFile = sdk.prepareFeedbackFile({
  text: 'Great agent!',
  mcpTool: 'code_generation',
  a2aSkills: ['python'],
  a2aContextId: 'session:abc',
});

// Give feedback (on-chain fields are passed directly)
const tx = await sdk.giveFeedback(
  '11155111:123',
  85, // value (number|string)
  'data_analyst', // tag1 (optional)
  'finance', // tag2 (optional)
  'https://api.example.com/feedback', // endpoint (optional on-chain)
  feedbackFile // optional off-chain file
);
// Submitted-by-default: wait explicitly for confirmation to get a receipt + the domain result
const { receipt, result: feedback } = await tx.waitConfirmed();

// Search feedback
const feedbackResults = await sdk.searchFeedback(
  { agentId: '11155111:123', capabilities: ['code_generation'] }, // capabilities filters by feedbackFile.mcpTool
  { minValue: 80, maxValue: 100 }
);

// Get reputation summary
const summary = await sdk.getReputationSummary('11155111:123');
console.log(`Average value: ${summary.averageValue}`);

IPFS Configuration Options

// Option 1: Filecoin Pin (free for ERC-8004 agents)
const sdk = new SDK({
  chainId: 11155111,
  rpcUrl: '...',
  signer: privateKey,
  ipfs: 'filecoinPin',
  filecoinPrivateKey: 'your-filecoin-private-key'
});

// Option 2: Embedded Helia (no daemon required)
const sdk = new SDK({
  chainId: 11155111,
  rpcUrl: '...',
  signer: privateKey,
  ipfs: 'helia',
});

// Option 3: IPFS Node (Kubo daemon HTTP RPC API)
const sdk = new SDK({
  chainId: 11155111,
  rpcUrl: '...',
  signer: privateKey,
  ipfs: 'node',
  ipfsNodeUrl: 'http://localhost:5001'
});

// Option 4: Pinata (free for ERC-8004 agents)
const sdk = new SDK({
  chainId: 11155111,
  rpcUrl: '...',
  signer: privateKey,
  ipfs: 'pinata',
  pinataJwt: 'your-pinata-jwt-token'
});

// Option 5: HTTP registration (no IPFS)
const sdk = new SDK({ chainId: 11155111, rpcUrl: '...', signer: privateKey });
const regTx = await agent.registerHTTP('https://example.com/agent-registration.json');
await regTx.waitConfirmed();

Multi-Chain Support

The SDK supports querying agents across multiple blockchain networks:

Ethereum Mainnet (Chain ID: 1)
Base Mainnet (Chain ID: 8453)
Ethereum Sepolia (Chain ID: 11155111)
Base Sepolia (Chain ID: 84532)
Polygon Mainnet (Chain ID: 137)

Chain-Agnostic Agent IDs

Use chainId:agentId format to specify which chain an agent is on:

// Get agent from specific chain
const agent = await sdk.getAgent('1:1234');  // Ethereum Mainnet

// Search feedback for agent on specific chain
const feedbacks = await sdk.searchFeedback({ agentId: '1:1234' });  // Ethereum Mainnet
const feedbacksDefault = await sdk.searchFeedback({ agentId: '11155111:1234' });  // Default chain

// Get reputation summary for agent on specific chain
const summary = await sdk.getReputationSummary('1:1234');  // Ethereum Mainnet
const summaryDefault = await sdk.getReputationSummary('1234');  // Uses default chain

Multi-Chain Search

Search across multiple chains simultaneously:

// Search across multiple chains
const result = await sdk.searchAgents({
  active: true,
  chains: [1, 8453, 11155111, 84532, 137]  // Ethereum Mainnet, Base Mainnet, Ethereum Sepolia, Base Sepolia, Polygon Mainnet
});

// Search all configured chains
const allChainsResult = await sdk.searchAgents({
  active: true,
  chains: 'all'  // Searches all configured chains
});

// Multi-chain feedback-derived reputation search (unified search)
const reputationResult = await sdk.searchAgents(
  { chains: [1, 8453, 11155111, 84532, 137], feedback: { minValue: 80, includeRevoked: false } }
);

// Search all chains for agents with reputation (unified search)
const allChainsReputation = await sdk.searchAgents(
  { chains: 'all', feedback: { minValue: 80, includeRevoked: false } }
);

// Pagination has been removed; multi-chain results are returned as a flat list.

RPC URL defaults and overrides

The SDK ships with built-in default free RPC URLs for supported chains (Ethereum, Base, Polygon mainnets and Sepolia testnets). Override order: defaults → rpcUrl (for the primary chain) → overrideRpcUrls (per-chain overrides, e.g. for x402 payments on other chains). You can omit rpcUrl when using a supported chain; pass rpcUrl and/or overrideRpcUrls to override.

Default Chain Behavior

When you initialize the SDK, you specify a default chain. Agent IDs without a chainId: prefix use the default chain:

const sdk = new SDK({
  chainId: 11155111,  // Default chain; rpcUrl optional (built-in default used)
  rpcUrl: 'https://eth-sepolia.g.alchemy.com/v2/YOUR_KEY'  // optional override
});

// Uses default chain (11155111)
const agent = await sdk.getAgent('1234');  // Equivalent to "11155111:1234"

// Explicitly specify different chain
const agent = await sdk.getAgent('1:1234');  // Ethereum Mainnet

OASF Taxonomies

The SDK includes support for the Open Agentic Schema Framework (OASF) taxonomies, enabling agents to advertise standardized skills and domains. This improves discoverability and interoperability across agent platforms.

Adding Skills and Domains

// Add OASF skills (with optional validation)
agent.addSkill('advanced_reasoning_planning/strategic_planning', true);
agent.addSkill('data_engineering/data_transformation_pipeline', true);

// Add OASF domains (with optional validation)
agent.addDomain('finance_and_business/investment_services', true);
agent.addDomain('technology/data_science/data_visualization', true);

// Remove skills/domains
agent.removeSkill('old_skill');
agent.removeDomain('old_domain');

OASF in Registration Files

OASF skills and domains appear in your agent's registration file:

{
  "endpoints": [
    {
      "name": "OASF",
      "endpoint": "https://github.com/agntcy/oasf/",
      "version": "v0.8.0",
      "skills": [
        "advanced_reasoning_planning/strategic_planning",
        "data_engineering/data_transformation_pipeline"
      ],
      "domains": [
        "finance_and_business/investment_services",
        "technology/data_science/data_science"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Taxonomy Files

The SDK includes complete OASF v0.8.0 taxonomy files:

Skills: src/taxonomies/all_skills.json (136 skills)
Domains: src/taxonomies/all_domains.json (204 domains)

Browse these files to find appropriate skill and domain slugs. For more information, see the OASF specification and release_notes/RELEASE_NOTES_0.31.md.
