pydantic_ai.ag_ui

Provides an AG-UI protocol adapter for the Pydantic AI agent.

This package provides seamless integration between pydantic-ai agents and ag-ui for building interactive AI applications with streaming event-based communication.

AGUIApp

Bases: Generic[AgentDepsT, OutputDataT], Starlette

ASGI application for running Pydantic AI agents with AG-UI protocol support.

    on_startup: Sequence[Callable[[], Any]] | None = None,
    on_shutdown: Sequence[Callable[[], Any]] | None = None,
    lifespan: Lifespan[Self] | None = None,
) -> None

An ASGI application that handles every request by running the agent and streaming the response.

Note that the deps will be the same for each request, with the exception of the frontend state that’s injected into the state field of a deps object that implements the StateHandler protocol. To provide different deps for each request (e.g. based on the authenticated user), use AGUIAdapter.run_stream() or AGUIAdapter.dispatch_request() instead.

Returns

None

Parameters

agent : AbstractAgent[AgentDepsT, OutputDataT]

The agent to run.

output_type : OutputSpec[Any] | None Default: None

Custom output type to use for this run, output_type may only be used if the agent has no output validators since output validators would expect an argument that matches the agent’s output type.

message_history : Sequence[ModelMessage] | None Default: None

History of the conversation so far.

deferred_tool_results : DeferredToolResults | None Default: None

Optional results for deferred tool calls in the message history.

model : Model | KnownModelName | str | None Default: None

Optional model to use for this run, required if model was not set when creating the agent.

deps : AgentDepsT Default: None

Optional dependencies to use for this run.

model_settings : ModelSettings | None Default: None

Optional settings to use for this model’s request.

usage_limits : UsageLimits | None Default: None

Optional limits on model request count or token usage.

usage : RunUsage | None Default: None

Optional usage to start with, useful for resuming a conversation or agents used in tools.

infer_name : bool Default: True

Whether to try to infer the agent name from the call frame if it’s not set.

toolsets : Sequence[AbstractToolset[AgentDepsT]] | None Default: None

Optional additional toolsets for this run.

builtin_tools : Sequence[AbstractBuiltinTool] | None Default: None

Optional additional builtin tools for this run.

on_complete : OnCompleteFunc[Any] | None Default: None

Optional callback function called when the agent run completes successfully. The callback receives the completed AgentRunResult and can access all_messages() and other result data.

debug : bool Default: False

Boolean indicating if debug tracebacks should be returned on errors.

routes : Sequence[BaseRoute] | None Default: None

A list of routes to serve incoming HTTP and WebSocket requests.

middleware : Sequence[Middleware] | None Default: None

A list of middleware to run for every request. A starlette application will always automatically include two middleware classes. ServerErrorMiddleware is added as the very outermost middleware, to handle any uncaught errors occurring anywhere in the entire stack. ExceptionMiddleware is added as the very innermost middleware, to deal with handled exception cases occurring in the routing or endpoints.

exception_handlers : Mapping[Any, ExceptionHandler] | None Default: None

A mapping of either integer status codes, or exception class types onto callables which handle the exceptions. Exception handler callables should be of the form handler(request, exc) -> response and may be either standard functions, or async functions.

on_startup : Sequence[Callable[[], Any]] | None Default: None

A list of callables to run on application startup. Startup handler callables do not take any arguments, and may be either standard functions, or async functions.

on_shutdown : Sequence[Callable[[], Any]] | None Default: None

A list of callables to run on application shutdown. Shutdown handler callables do not take any arguments, and may be either standard functions, or async functions.

lifespan : Lifespan[Self] | None Default: None

A lifespan context function, which can be used to perform startup and shutdown tasks. This is a newer style that replaces the on_startup and on_shutdown handlers. Use one or the other, not both.

StateHandler

Bases: Protocol

Protocol for state handlers in agent runs. Requires the class to be a dataclass with a state field.

Attributes

state

Get the current state of the agent run.

Type: Any

StateDeps

Bases: Generic[StateT]

Dependency type that holds state.

This class is used to manage the state of an agent run. It allows setting the state of the agent run with a specific type of state model, which must be a subclass of BaseModel.

The state is set using the state setter by the Adapter when the run starts.

Implements the StateHandler protocol.
