Public and private agents

Defining public and private agents

There are two ways in which an Agent can be classified as public: they define an endpoint and/or, they publish their manifests:

 
    agent = Agent(
        name="demo agent",
        seed=SEED,
        endpoint=["http://127.0.0.1:8000/submit"],
    )
    agent.include(new_protocol, publish_manifest=True)
    agent.run()
 

Private Agents can be private in two ways: either by hiding a protocol they use from public and/or by not defining an endpoint:

 
    agent = Agent(
        name="private demo agent",
        seed=SEED,
    )
 
    agent.include(new_protocol, publish_manifest=False)
    agent.run()
 

You would need to share the IP of the private Agent you’re running to the other Agent you’re communicating with.
