WorkflowAgent wraps agents and workflows so they can be executed and registered as a single agent. The workflow defines the internal graph structure and logic of the agent, while WorkflowAgent provides the interface for integration with the broader agent system.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
properties

Properties

description

inherited Property
Type
string
Inherited from: BaseAgent

Description of the agent's purpose and functionality. This can be used in registration metadata to provide context about the agent's functionality. A good description is clear and concise. Use bullet points to describe tasks the agent can accomplish. Provide examples of user questions or prompts that could be answered by the agent.

Default value
""

id

readonlyinherited Property
Type
string
Inherited from: BaseAgent

The unique identifier for the agent, derived from the name property. This ID is used for registration and invocation purposes.

inputSchema

Property
Type
ZodObjectSchema<object> | undefined

Optional structured input schema for the workflow wrapper.

middlewares

inherited Property
Type
AgentMiddleware[]
Inherited from: BaseAgent

An optional array of middleware functions that can be used to extend or modify the agent's behavior during execution. This allows for flexible customization of the agent's execution logic. For example, middlewares can be used to implement trace messages (i.e. logging), human-in-the-loop interrupts, or other custom actions.

name

inherited Property
Type
string
Inherited from: BaseAgent

A name for the agent, which is used in the registration metadata and can be displayed in tooling. It should be unique across agents to avoid registration conflicts. A good agent name clearly indicates the scope and purpose of the agent. For example, "WeatherAgent" or "CustomerSupportAgent" are descriptive names that convey the agent's functionality as opposed to generic names like "Agent1" or "MyAgent".

The name is also used to generate the agent's id.

outputSchema

Property
Type
ZodObjectSchema<object> | undefined

Optional structured output schema for the workflow wrapper.

registration

readonlyinherited Property
Type
AgentRegistration
Inherited from: BaseAgent

The registration property assembles the necessary metadata and graph definition for this agent, which is consumed by the orchestrator during registration.

workflow

Property
Type
BaseWorkflow

The workflow to execute when generating and running this agent's graph.

run

inherited Method
Signature
run (state?: Partial<AgentGraphState<TCustomState>>, config?: AgentExecutionConfig): Promise<AgentGraphState<TCustomState>>
Inherited from: BaseAgent

Executes the agent's graph with the provided state and configuration. This method is responsible for invoking the compiled graph and returning the resulting state after execution.

Parameters

ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
state

An optional partial state object to initialize the graph execution. This can include any custom fields defined by the agent.

config

An optional execution configuration that can influence the agent's behavior during invocation.

Returns
Promise<AgentGraphState>

A promise that resolves to the updated agent graph state after execution.
