# Apple Container Support
DeerFlow now supports Apple Container as the preferred container runtime on macOS, with automatic fallback to Docker.
## Overview
Starting with this version, DeerFlow automatically detects and uses Apple Container on macOS when available, falling back to Docker when:
- Apple Container is not installed
- Running on non-macOS platforms
This provides better performance on Apple Silicon Macs while maintaining compatibility across all platforms.
## Benefits
### On Apple Silicon Macs with Apple Container:
- **Better Performance**: Native ARM64 execution without Rosetta 2 translation
- **Lower Resource Usage**: Lighter weight than Docker Desktop
- **Native Integration**: Uses macOS Virtualization.framework
### Fallback to Docker:
- Full backward compatibility
- Works on all platforms (macOS, Linux, Windows)
- No configuration changes needed
## Requirements
### For Apple Container (macOS only):
- macOS 15.0 or later
- Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4)
- Apple Container CLI installed
### Installation:
```bash
# Download from GitHub releases
# https://github.com/apple/container/releases
# Verify installation
container --version
# Start the service
container system start
```
### For Docker (all platforms):
- Docker Desktop or Docker Engine
## How It Works
### Automatic Detection
The `AioSandboxProvider` automatically detects the available container runtime:
1. On macOS: Try `container --version`
- Success → Use Apple Container
- Failure → Fall back to Docker
2. On other platforms: Use Docker directly
### Runtime Differences
Both runtimes use nearly identical command syntax:
**Container Startup:**
```bash
# Apple Container
container run --rm -d -p 8080:8080 -v /host:/container -e KEY=value image
# Docker
docker run --rm -d -p 8080:8080 -v /host:/container -e KEY=value image
```
**Container Cleanup:**
```bash
# Apple Container (with --rm flag)
container stop <id> # Auto-removes due to --rm
# Docker (with --rm flag)
docker stop <id> # Auto-removes due to --rm
```
### Implementation Details
The implementation is in `backend/packages/harness/deerflow/community/aio_sandbox/aio_sandbox_provider.py`:
- `_detect_container_runtime()`: Detects available runtime at startup
- `_start_container()`: Uses detected runtime, skips Docker-specific options for Apple Container
- `_stop_container()`: Uses appropriate stop command for the runtime
## Configuration
No configuration changes are needed! The system works automatically.
However, you can verify the runtime in use by checking the logs:
```
INFO:deerflow.community.aio_sandbox.aio_sandbox_provider:Detected Apple Container: container version 0.1.0
INFO:deerflow.community.aio_sandbox.aio_sandbox_provider:Starting sandbox container using container: ...
```
Or for Docker:
```
INFO:deerflow.community.aio_sandbox.aio_sandbox_provider:Apple Container not available, falling back to Docker
INFO:deerflow.community.aio_sandbox.aio_sandbox_provider:Starting sandbox container using docker: ...
```
## Container Images
Both runtimes use OCI-compatible images. The default image works with both:
```yaml
sandbox:
use: deerflow.community.aio_sandbox:AioSandboxProvider
image: enterprise-public-cn-beijing.cr.volces.com/vefaas-public/all-in-one-sandbox:latest # Default image
```
Make sure your images are available for the appropriate architecture:
- ARM64 for Apple Container on Apple Silicon
- AMD64 for Docker on Intel Macs
- Multi-arch images work on both
### Pre-pulling Images (Recommended)
**Important**: Container images are typically large (500MB+) and are pulled on first use, which can cause a long wait time without clear feedback.
**Best Practice**: Pre-pull the image during setup:
```bash
# From project root
make setup-sandbox
```
This command will:
1. Read the configured image from `config.yaml` (or use default)
2. Detect available runtime (Apple Container or Docker)
3. Pull the image with progress indication
4. Verify the image is ready for use
**Manual pre-pull**:
```bash
# Using Apple Container
container image pull enterprise-public-cn-beijing.cr.volces.com/vefaas-public/all-in-one-sandbox:latest
# Using Docker
docker pull enterprise-public-cn-beijing.cr.volces.com/vefaas-public/all-in-one-sandbox:latest
```
If you skip pre-pulling, the image will be automatically pulled on first agent execution, which may take several minutes depending on your network speed.
## Cleanup Scripts
The project includes a unified cleanup script that handles both runtimes:
**Script:** `scripts/cleanup-containers.sh`
**Usage:**
```bash
# Clean up all DeerFlow sandbox containers
./scripts/cleanup-containers.sh deer-flow-sandbox
# Custom prefix
./scripts/cleanup-containers.sh my-prefix
```
**Makefile Integration:**
All cleanup commands in `Makefile` automatically handle both runtimes:
```bash
make stop # Stops all services and cleans up containers
make clean # Full cleanup including logs
```
## Testing
Test the container runtime detection:
```bash
cd backend
python test_container_runtime.py
```
This will:
1. Detect the available runtime
2. Optionally start a test container
3. Verify connectivity
4. Clean up
## Troubleshooting
### Apple Container not detected on macOS
1. Check if installed:
```bash
which container
container --version
```
2. Check if service is running:
```bash
container system start
```
3. Check logs for detection:
```bash
# Look for detection message in application logs
grep "container runtime" logs/*.log
```
### Containers not cleaning up
1. Manually check running containers:
```bash
# Apple Container
container list
# Docker
docker ps
```
2. Run cleanup script manually:
```bash
./scripts/cleanup-containers.sh deer-flow-sandbox
```
### Performance issues
- Apple Container should be faster on Apple Silicon
- If experiencing issues, you can force Docker by temporarily renaming the `container` command:
```bash
# Temporary workaround - not recommended for permanent use
sudo mv /opt/homebrew/bin/container /opt/homebrew/bin/container.bak
```

## Component Details
### LangGraph Server
The LangGraph server is the core agent runtime, built on LangGraph for robust multi-agent workflow orchestration.
**Entry Point**: `packages/harness/deerflow/agents/lead_agent/agent.py:make_lead_agent`
**Key Responsibilities**:
- Agent creation and configuration
- Thread state management
- Middleware chain execution
- Tool execution orchestration
- SSE streaming for real-time responses
**Configuration**: `langgraph.json`
```json
{
"agent": {
"type": "agent",
"path": "deerflow.agents:make_lead_agent"
}
}
```
### Gateway API
FastAPI application providing REST endpoints for non-agent operations.
**Entry Point**: `app/gateway/app.py`
**Routers**:
- `models.py` - `/api/models` - Model listing and details
- `mcp.py` - `/api/mcp` - MCP server configuration
- `skills.py` - `/api/skills` - Skills management
- `uploads.py` - `/api/threads/{id}/uploads` - File upload
- `threads.py` - `/api/threads/{id}` - Local DeerFlow thread data cleanup after LangGraph deletion
- `artifacts.py` - `/api/threads/{id}/artifacts` - Artifact serving
- `suggestions.py` - `/api/threads/{id}/suggestions` - Follow-up suggestion generation
The web conversation delete flow is now split across both backend surfaces: LangGraph handles `DELETE /api/langgraph/threads/{thread_id}` for thread state, then the Gateway `threads.py` router removes DeerFlow-managed filesystem data via `Paths.delete_thread_dir()`.

### Request Flow
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Request Flow Example │
│ User sends message to agent │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
1. Client → Nginx
POST /api/langgraph/threads/{thread_id}/runs
{"input": {"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]}}
2. Nginx → LangGraph Server (2024)
Proxied to LangGraph server
3. LangGraph Server
a. Load/create thread state
b. Execute middleware chain:
- ThreadDataMiddleware: Set up paths
- UploadsMiddleware: Inject file list
- SandboxMiddleware: Acquire sandbox
- SummarizationMiddleware: Check token limits
- TitleMiddleware: Generate title if needed
- TodoListMiddleware: Load todos (if plan mode)
- ViewImageMiddleware: Process images
- ClarificationMiddleware: Check for clarifications
c. Execute agent:
- Model processes messages
- May call tools (bash, web_search, etc.)
- Tools execute via sandbox
- Results added to messages
d. Stream response via SSE
4. Client receives streaming response
```
## Data Flow
### File Upload Flow
```
1. Client uploads file
POST /api/threads/{thread_id}/uploads
Content-Type: multipart/form-data
2. Gateway receives file
- Validates file
- Stores in .deer-flow/threads/{thread_id}/user-data/uploads/
- If document: converts to Markdown via markitdown
3. Returns response
{
"files": [{
"filename": "doc.pdf",
"path": ".deer-flow/.../uploads/doc.pdf",
"virtual_path": "/mnt/user-data/uploads/doc.pdf",
"artifact_url": "/api/threads/.../artifacts/mnt/.../doc.pdf"
}]
}
4. Next agent run
- UploadsMiddleware lists files
- Injects file list into messages
- Agent can access via virtual_path
```
### Thread Cleanup Flow
```
1. Client deletes conversation via LangGraph
DELETE /api/langgraph/threads/{thread_id}
2. Web UI follows up with Gateway cleanup
DELETE /api/threads/{thread_id}
3. Gateway removes local DeerFlow-managed files
- Deletes .deer-flow/threads/{thread_id}/ recursively
- Missing directories are treated as a no-op
- Invalid thread IDs are rejected before filesystem access
```
### Configuration Reload
```
1. Client updates MCP config
PUT /api/mcp/config
2. Gateway writes extensions_config.json
- Updates mcpServers section
- File mtime changes
3. MCP Manager detects change
- get_cached_mcp_tools() checks mtime
- If changed: reinitializes MCP client
- Loads updated server configurations
4. Next agent run uses new tools
```
## Security Considerations
### Sandbox Isolation
- Agent code executes within sandbox boundaries
- Local sandbox: Direct execution (development only)
- Docker sandbox: Container isolation (production recommended)
- Path traversal prevention in file operations
### API Security
- Thread isolation: Each thread has separate data directories
- File validation: Uploads checked for path safety
- Environment variable resolution: Secrets not stored in config
### MCP Security
- Each MCP server runs in its own process
- Environment variables resolved at runtime
- Servers can be enabled/disabled independently
## Performance Considerations
### Caching
- MCP tools cached with file mtime invalidation
- Configuration loaded once, reloaded on file change
- Skills parsed once at startup, cached in memory
### Streaming
- SSE used for real-time response streaming
- Reduces time to first token
- Enables progress visibility for long operations
### Context Management
- Summarization middleware reduces context when limits approached
- Configurable triggers: tokens, messages, or fraction
- Preserves recent messages while summarizing older ones

## Component Details
### LangGraph Server
The LangGraph server is the core agent runtime, built on LangGraph for robust multi-agent workflow orchestration.
**Entry Point**: `packages/harness/deerflow/agents/lead_agent/agent.py:make_lead_agent`
**Key Responsibilities**:
- Agent creation and configuration
- Thread state management
- Middleware chain execution
- Tool execution orchestration
- SSE streaming for real-time responses
**Configuration**: `langgraph.json`
```json
{
"agent": {
"type": "agent",
"path": "deerflow.agents:make_lead_agent"
}
}
```
### Gateway API
FastAPI application providing REST endpoints for non-agent operations.
**Entry Point**: `app/gateway/app.py`
**Routers**:
- `models.py` - `/api/models` - Model listing and details
- `mcp.py` - `/api/mcp` - MCP server configuration
- `skills.py` - `/api/skills` - Skills management
- `uploads.py` - `/api/threads/{id}/uploads` - File upload
- `threads.py` - `/api/threads/{id}` - Local DeerFlow thread data cleanup after LangGraph deletion
- `artifacts.py` - `/api/threads/{id}/artifacts` - Artifact serving
- `suggestions.py` - `/api/threads/{id}/suggestions` - Follow-up suggestion generation
The web conversation delete flow is now split across both backend surfaces: LangGraph handles `DELETE /api/langgraph/threads/{thread_id}` for thread state, then the Gateway `threads.py` router removes DeerFlow-managed filesystem data via `Paths.delete_thread_dir()`.

### Request Flow
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Request Flow Example │
│ User sends message to agent │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
1. Client → Nginx
POST /api/langgraph/threads/{thread_id}/runs
{"input": {"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello"}]}}
2. Nginx → LangGraph Server (2024)
Proxied to LangGraph server
3. LangGraph Server
a. Load/create thread state
b. Execute middleware chain:
- ThreadDataMiddleware: Set up paths
- UploadsMiddleware: Inject file list
- SandboxMiddleware: Acquire sandbox
- SummarizationMiddleware: Check token limits
- TitleMiddleware: Generate title if needed
- TodoListMiddleware: Load todos (if plan mode)
- ViewImageMiddleware: Process images
- ClarificationMiddleware: Check for clarifications
c. Execute agent:
- Model processes messages
- May call tools (bash, web_search, etc.)
- Tools execute via sandbox
- Results added to messages
d. Stream response via SSE
4. Client receives streaming response
```
## Data Flow
### File Upload Flow
```
1. Client uploads file
POST /api/threads/{thread_id}/uploads
Content-Type: multipart/form-data
2. Gateway receives file
- Validates file
- Stores in .deer-flow/threads/{thread_id}/user-data/uploads/
- If document: converts to Markdown via markitdown
3. Returns response
{
"files": [{
"filename": "doc.pdf",
"path": ".deer-flow/.../uploads/doc.pdf",
"virtual_path": "/mnt/user-data/uploads/doc.pdf",
"artifact_url": "/api/threads/.../artifacts/mnt/.../doc.pdf"
}]
}
4. Next agent run
- UploadsMiddleware lists files
- Injects file list into messages
- Agent can access via virtual_path
```
### Thread Cleanup Flow
```
1. Client deletes conversation via LangGraph
DELETE /api/langgraph/threads/{thread_id}
2. Web UI follows up with Gateway cleanup
DELETE /api/threads/{thread_id}
3. Gateway removes local DeerFlow-managed files
- Deletes .deer-flow/threads/{thread_id}/ recursively
- Missing directories are treated as a no-op
- Invalid thread IDs are rejected before filesystem access
```
### Configuration Reload
```
1. Client updates MCP config
PUT /api/mcp/config
2. Gateway writes extensions_config.json
- Updates mcpServers section
- File mtime changes
3. MCP Manager detects change
- get_cached_mcp_tools() checks mtime
- If changed: reinitializes MCP client
- Loads updated server configurations
4. Next agent run uses new tools
```
## Security Considerations
### Sandbox Isolation
- Agent code executes within sandbox boundaries
- Local sandbox: Direct execution (development only)
- Docker sandbox: Container isolation (production recommended)
- Path traversal prevention in file operations
### API Security
- Thread isolation: Each thread has separate data directories
- File validation: Uploads checked for path safety
- Environment variable resolution: Secrets not stored in config
### MCP Security
- Each MCP server runs in its own process
- Environment variables resolved at runtime
- Servers can be enabled/disabled independently
## Performance Considerations
### Caching
- MCP tools cached with file mtime invalidation
- Configuration loaded once, reloaded on file change
- Skills parsed once at startup, cached in memory
### Streaming
- SSE used for real-time response streaming
- Reduces time to first token
- Enables progress visibility for long operations
### Context Management
- Summarization middleware reduces context when limits approached
- Configurable triggers: tokens, messages, or fraction
- Preserves recent messages while summarizing older ones

# Docker Test Gap (Section 七 7.4)
This file documents the only **un-executed** test cases from
`backend/docs/AUTH_TEST_PLAN.md` after the full release validation pass.
## Why this gap exists
The release validation environment (sg_dev: `10.251.229.92`) **does not have
a Docker daemon installed**. The TC-DOCKER cases are container-runtime
behavior tests that need an actual Docker engine to spin up
`docker/docker-compose.yaml` services.
```bash
$ ssh sg_dev "which docker; docker --version"
# (empty)
# bash: docker: command not found
```
All other test plan sections were executed against either:
- The local dev box (Mac, all services running locally), or
- The deployed sg_dev instance (gateway + frontend + nginx via SSH tunnel)
## Cases not executed
| Case | Title | What it covers | Why not run |
|---|---|---|---|
| TC-DOCKER-01 | `users.db` volume persistence | Verify the `DEER_FLOW_HOME` bind mount survives container restart | needs `docker compose up` |
| TC-DOCKER-02 | Session persistence across container restart | `AUTH_JWT_SECRET` env var keeps cookies valid after `docker compose down && up` | needs `docker compose down/up` |
| TC-DOCKER-03 | Per-worker rate limiter divergence | Confirms in-process `_login_attempts` dict doesn't share state across `gunicorn` workers (4 by default in the compose file); known limitation, documented | needs multi-worker container |
| TC-DOCKER-04 | IM channels skip AuthMiddleware | Verify Feishu/Slack/Telegram dispatchers run in-container against `http://langgraph:2024` without going through nginx | needs `docker logs` |
| TC-DOCKER-05 | Admin credentials surfacing | **Updated post-simplify** — was "log scrape", now "0600 credential file in `DEER_FLOW_HOME`". The file-based behavior is already validated by TC-1.1 + TC-UPG-13 on sg_dev (non-Docker), so the only Docker-specific gap is verifying the volume mount carries the file out to the host | needs container + host volume |
| TC-DOCKER-06 | Gateway-mode Docker deploy | `./scripts/deploy.sh --gateway` produces a 3-container topology (no `langgraph` container); same auth flow as standard mode | needs `docker compose --profile gateway` |
## Coverage already provided by non-Docker tests
The **auth-relevant** behavior in each Docker case is already exercised by
the test cases that ran on sg_dev or local:
| Docker case | Auth behavior covered by |
|---|---|
| TC-DOCKER-01 (volume persistence) | TC-REENT-01 on sg_dev (admin row survives gateway restart) — same SQLite file, just no container layer between |
| TC-DOCKER-02 (session persistence) | TC-API-02/03/06 (cookie roundtrip), plus TC-REENT-04 (multi-cookie) — JWT verification is process-state-free, container restart is equivalent to `pkill uvicorn && uv run uvicorn` |
| TC-DOCKER-03 (per-worker rate limit) | TC-GW-04 + TC-REENT-09 (single-worker rate limit + 5min expiry). The cross-worker divergence is an architectural property of the in-memory dict; no auth code path differs |
| TC-DOCKER-04 (IM channels skip auth) | Code-level only: `app/channels/manager.py` uses `langgraph_sdk` directly with no cookie handling. The langgraph_auth handler is bypassed by going through SDK, not HTTP |
| TC-DOCKER-05 (credential surfacing) | TC-1.1 on sg_dev (file at `~/deer-flow/backend/.deer-flow/admin_initial_credentials.txt`, mode 0600, password 22 chars) — the only Docker-unique step is whether the bind mount projects this path onto the host, which is a `docker compose` config check, not a runtime behavior change |
| TC-DOCKER-06 (gateway-mode container) | Section 七 7.2 covered by TC-GW-01..05 + Section 二 (gateway-mode auth flow on sg_dev) — same Gateway code, container is just a packaging change |
## Reproduction steps when Docker becomes available
Anyone with `docker` + `docker compose` installed can reproduce the gap by
running the test plan section verbatim. Pre-flight:
```bash
# Required on the host
docker --version # >=24.x
docker compose version # plugin >=2.x
# Required env var (otherwise sessions reset on every container restart)
echo "AUTH_JWT_SECRET=$(python3 -c 'import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))')" \
>> .env
# Optional: pin DEER_FLOW_HOME to a stable host path
echo "DEER_FLOW_HOME=$HOME/deer-flow-data" >> .env
```
Then run TC-DOCKER-01..06 from the test plan as written.
## Decision log
- **Not blocking the release.** The auth-relevant behavior in every Docker
case has an already-validated equivalent on bare metal. The gap is purely
about *container packaging* details (bind mounts, multi-worker, log
collection), not about whether the auth code paths work.
- **TC-DOCKER-05 was updated in place** in `AUTH_TEST_PLAN.md` to reflect
the post-simplify reality (credentials file → 0600 file, no log leak).
The old "grep 'Password:' in docker logs" expectation would have failed
silently and given a false sense of coverage.

# Authentication Upgrade Guide
DeerFlow 内置了认证模块。本文档面向从无认证版本升级的用户。
## 核心概念
认证模块采用**始终强制**策略:
- 首次启动时自动创建 admin 账号,随机密码打印到控制台日志
- 认证从一开始就是强制的,无竞争窗口
- 历史对话(升级前创建的 thread)自动迁移到 admin 名下
## 升级步骤
### 1. 更新代码
```bash
git pull origin main
cd backend && make install
```
### 2. 首次启动
```bash
make dev
```
控制台会输出:
```
============================================================
Admin account created on first boot
Email: admin@deerflow.dev
Password: aB3xK9mN_pQ7rT2w
Change it after login: Settings → Account
============================================================
```
如果未登录就重启了服务,不用担心——只要 setup 未完成,每次启动都会重置密码并重新打印到控制台。
### 3. 登录
访问 `http://localhost:2026/login`,使用控制台输出的邮箱和密码登录。
### 4. 修改密码
登录后进入 Settings → Account → Change Password。
### 5. 添加用户(可选)
其他用户通过 `/login` 页面注册,自动获得 **user** 角色。每个用户只能看到自己的对话。
## 安全机制
| 机制 | 说明 |
|------|------|
| JWT HttpOnly Cookie | Token 不暴露给 JavaScript,防止 XSS 窃取 |
| CSRF Double Submit Cookie | 所有 POST/PUT/DELETE 请求需携带 `X-CSRF-Token` |
| bcrypt 密码哈希 | 密码不以明文存储 |
| 多租户隔离 | 用户只能访问自己的 thread |
| HTTPS 自适应 | 检测 `x-forwarded-proto`,自动设置 `Secure` cookie 标志 |
## 常见操作
### 忘记密码
```bash
cd backend
# 重置 admin 密码
python -m app.gateway.auth.reset_admin
# 重置指定用户密码
python -m app.gateway.auth.reset_admin --email user@example.com
```
会输出新的随机密码。
### 完全重置
删除用户数据库,重启后自动创建新 admin:
```bash
rm -f backend/.deer-flow/users.db
# 重启服务,控制台输出新密码
```
## 数据存储
| 文件 | 内容 |
|------|------|
| `.deer-flow/users.db` | SQLite 用户数据库(密码哈希、角色) |
| `.env` 中的 `AUTH_JWT_SECRET` | JWT 签名密钥(未设置时自动生成临时密钥,重启后 session 失效) |
### 生产环境建议
```bash
# 生成持久化 JWT 密钥,避免重启后所有用户需重新登录
python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))"
# 将输出添加到 .env:
# AUTH_JWT_SECRET=<生成的密钥>
```
## API 端点
| 端点 | 方法 | 说明 |
|------|------|------|
| `/api/v1/auth/login/local` | POST | 邮箱密码登录(OAuth2 form) |
| `/api/v1/auth/register` | POST | 注册新用户(user 角色) |
| `/api/v1/auth/logout` | POST | 登出(清除 cookie) |
| `/api/v1/auth/me` | GET | 获取当前用户信息 |
| `/api/v1/auth/change-password` | POST | 修改密码 |
| `/api/v1/auth/setup-status` | GET | 检查 admin 是否存在 |
## 兼容性
- **标准模式**(`make dev`):完全兼容,admin 自动创建
- **Gateway 模式**(`make dev-pro`):完全兼容
- **Docker 部署**:完全兼容,`.deer-flow/users.db` 需持久化卷挂载
- **IM 渠道**(Feishu/Slack/Telegram):通过 LangGraph SDK 通信,不经过认证层
- **DeerFlowClient**(嵌入式):不经过 HTTP,不受认证影响
## 故障排查
| 症状 | 原因 | 解决 |
|------|------|------|

# Authentication Upgrade Guide
DeerFlow 内置了认证模块。本文档面向从无认证版本升级的用户。
## 核心概念
认证模块采用**始终强制**策略:
- 首次启动时自动创建 admin 账号,随机密码打印到控制台日志
- 认证从一开始就是强制的,无竞争窗口
- 历史对话(升级前创建的 thread)自动迁移到 admin 名下
## 升级步骤
### 1. 更新代码
```bash
git pull origin main
cd backend && make install
```
### 2. 首次启动
```bash
make dev
```
控制台会输出:
```
============================================================
Admin account created on first boot
Email: admin@deerflow.dev
Password: aB3xK9mN_pQ7rT2w
Change it after login: Settings → Account
============================================================
```
如果未登录就重启了服务,不用担心——只要 setup 未完成,每次启动都会重置密码并重新打印到控制台。
### 3. 登录
访问 `http://localhost:2026/login`,使用控制台输出的邮箱和密码登录。
### 4. 修改密码
登录后进入 Settings → Account → Change Password。
### 5. 添加用户(可选)
其他用户通过 `/login` 页面注册,自动获得 **user** 角色。每个用户只能看到自己的对话。
## 安全机制
| 机制 | 说明 |
|------|------|
| JWT HttpOnly Cookie | Token 不暴露给 JavaScript,防止 XSS 窃取 |
| CSRF Double Submit Cookie | 所有 POST/PUT/DELETE 请求需携带 `X-CSRF-Token` |
| bcrypt 密码哈希 | 密码不以明文存储 |
| 多租户隔离 | 用户只能访问自己的 thread |
| HTTPS 自适应 | 检测 `x-forwarded-proto`,自动设置 `Secure` cookie 标志 |
## 常见操作
### 忘记密码
```bash
cd backend
# 重置 admin 密码
python -m app.gateway.auth.reset_admin
# 重置指定用户密码
python -m app.gateway.auth.reset_admin --email user@example.com
```
会输出新的随机密码。
### 完全重置
删除用户数据库,重启后自动创建新 admin:
```bash
rm -f backend/.deer-flow/users.db
# 重启服务,控制台输出新密码
```
## 数据存储
| 文件 | 内容 |
|------|------|
| `.deer-flow/users.db` | SQLite 用户数据库(密码哈希、角色) |
| `.env` 中的 `AUTH_JWT_SECRET` | JWT 签名密钥(未设置时自动生成临时密钥,重启后 session 失效) |
### 生产环境建议
```bash
# 生成持久化 JWT 密钥,避免重启后所有用户需重新登录
python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))"
# 将输出添加到 .env:
# AUTH_JWT_SECRET=<生成的密钥>
```
## API 端点
| 端点 | 方法 | 说明 |
|------|------|------|
| `/api/v1/auth/login/local` | POST | 邮箱密码登录(OAuth2 form) |
| `/api/v1/auth/register` | POST | 注册新用户(user 角色) |
| `/api/v1/auth/logout` | POST | 登出(清除 cookie) |
| `/api/v1/auth/me` | GET | 获取当前用户信息 |
| `/api/v1/auth/change-password` | POST | 修改密码 |
| `/api/v1/auth/setup-status` | GET | 检查 admin 是否存在 |
## 兼容性
- **标准模式**(`make dev`):完全兼容,admin 自动创建
- **Gateway 模式**(`make dev-pro`):完全兼容
- **Docker 部署**:完全兼容,`.deer-flow/users.db` 需持久化卷挂载
- **IM 渠道**(Feishu/Slack/Telegram):通过 LangGraph SDK 通信,不经过认证层
- **DeerFlowClient**(嵌入式):不经过 HTTP,不受认证影响
## 故障排查
| 症状 | 原因 | 解决 |
|------|------|------|
| 启动后没看到密码 | admin 已存在(非首次启动) | 用 `reset_admin` 重置,或删 `users.db` |
| 登录后 POST 返回 403 | CSRF token 缺失 | 确认前端已更新 |
| 重启后需要重新登录 | `AUTH_JWT_SECRET` 未持久化 | 在 `.env` 中设置固定密钥 |

# 自动 Thread Title 生成功能
## 功能说明
自动为对话线程生成标题,在用户首次提问并收到回复后自动触发。
## 实现方式
使用 `TitleMiddleware` 在 `after_model` 钩子中:
1. 检测是否是首次对话(1个用户消息 + 1个助手回复)
2. 检查 state 是否已有 title
3. 调用 LLM 生成简洁的标题(默认最多6个词)
4. 将 title 存储到 `ThreadState` 中(会被 checkpointer 持久化)
TitleMiddleware 会先把 LangChain message content 里的结构化 block/list 内容归一化为纯文本,再拼到 title prompt 里,避免把 Python/JSON 的原始 repr 泄漏到标题生成模型。
## ⚠️ 重要:存储机制
### Title 存储位置
Title 存储在 **`ThreadState.title`** 中,而非 thread metadata:
```python
class ThreadState(AgentState):
sandbox: SandboxState | None = None
title: str | None = None # ✅ Title stored here
```
### 持久化说明
| 部署方式 | 持久化 | 说明 |
|---------|--------|------|
| **LangGraph Studio (本地)** | ❌ 否 | 仅内存存储,重启后丢失 |
| **LangGraph Platform** | ✅ 是 | 自动持久化到数据库 |
| **自定义 + Checkpointer** | ✅ 是 | 需配置 PostgreSQL/SQLite checkpointer |
### 如何启用持久化
如果需要在本地开发时也持久化 title,需要配置 checkpointer:
```python
# 在 langgraph.json 同级目录创建 checkpointer.py
from langgraph.checkpoint.postgres import PostgresSaver
checkpointer = PostgresSaver.from_conn_string(
"postgresql://user:pass@localhost/dbname"
)
```
然后在 `langgraph.json` 中引用:
```json
{
"graphs": {
"lead_agent": "deerflow.agents:lead_agent"
},
"checkpointer": "checkpointer:checkpointer"
}
```
## 配置
在 `config.yaml` 中添加(可选):
```yaml
title:
enabled: true
max_words: 6
max_chars: 60
model_name: null # 使用默认模型
```
或在代码中配置:
```python
from deerflow.config.title_config import TitleConfig, set_title_config
set_title_config(TitleConfig(
enabled=True,
max_words=8,
max_chars=80,
))
```
## 客户端使用
### 获取 Thread Title
```typescript
// 方式1: 从 thread state 获取
const state = await client.threads.getState(threadId);
const title = state.values.title || "New Conversation";
// 方式2: 监听 stream 事件
for await (const chunk of client.runs.stream(threadId, assistantId, {
input: { messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Hello" }] }
})) {
if (chunk.event === "values" && chunk.data.title) {
console.log("Title:", chunk.data.title);
}
}
```
### 显示 Title
```typescript
// 在对话列表中显示
function ConversationList() {
const [threads, setThreads] = useState([]);
useEffect(() => {
async function loadThreads() {
const allThreads = await client.threads.list();
// 获取每个 thread 的 state 来读取 title
const threadsWithTitles = await Promise.all(
allThreads.map(async (t) => {
const state = await client.threads.getState(t.thread_id);
return {
id: t.thread_id,
title: state.values.title || "New Conversation",
updatedAt: t.updated_at,
};
})
);
setThreads(threadsWithTitles);
}
loadThreads();
}, []);
return (
<ul>
{threads.map(thread => (
<li key={thread.id}>
<a href={`/chat/${thread.id}`}>{thread.title}</a>
</li>
))}
</ul>
);
}
```
## 工作流程
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant User
participant Client
participant LangGraph
participant TitleMiddleware
participant LLM
participant Checkpointer
User->>Client: 发送首条消息
Client->>LangGraph: POST /threads/{id}/runs
LangGraph->>Agent: 处理消息
Agent-->>LangGraph: 返回回复
LangGraph->>TitleMiddleware: after_agent()
TitleMiddleware->>TitleMiddleware: 检查是否需要生成 title
TitleMiddleware->>LLM: 生成 title
LLM-->>TitleMiddleware: 返回 title
TitleMiddleware->>LangGraph: return {"title": "..."}
LangGraph->>Checkpointer: 保存 state (含 title)
LangGraph-->>Client: 返回响应
Client->>Client: 从 state.values.title 读取
```
## 优势
✅ **可靠持久化** - 使用 LangGraph 的 state 机制,自动持久化
✅ **完全后端处理** - 客户端无需额外逻辑
✅ **自动触发** - 首次对话后自动生成
✅ **可配置** - 支持自定义长度、模型等
✅ **容错性强** - 失败时使用 fallback 策略
✅ **架构一致** - 与现有 SandboxMiddleware 保持一致
## 注意事项
1. **读取方式不同**:Title 在 `state.values.title` 而非 `thread.metadata.title`
2. **性能考虑**:title 生成会增加约 0.5-1 秒延迟,可通过使用更快的模型优化
3. **并发安全**:middleware 在 agent 执行后运行,不会阻塞主流程
4. **Fallback 策略**:如果 LLM 调用失败,会使用用户消息的前几个词作为 title
## 测试
```python
# 测试 title 生成
import pytest
from deerflow.agents.title_middleware import TitleMiddleware
def test_title_generation():
# TODO: 添加单元测试
pass
```
## 故障排查
### Title 没有生成
1. 检查配置是否启用:`get_title_config().enabled == True`
2. 检查日志:查找 "Generated thread title" 或错误信息
3. 确认是首次对话:只有 1 个用户消息和 1 个助手回复时才会触发
### Title 生成但客户端看不到
1. 确认读取位置:应该从 `state.values.title` 读取,而非 `thread.metadata.title`
2. 检查 API 响应:确认 state 中包含 title 字段
3. 尝试重新获取 state:`client.threads.getState(threadId)`
### Title 重启后丢失
1. 检查是否配置了 checkpointer(本地开发需要)
2. 确认部署方式:LangGraph Platform 会自动持久化
3. 查看数据库:确认 checkpointer 正常工作
## 架构设计
### 为什么使用 State 而非 Metadata?
| 特性 | State | Metadata |
|------|-------|----------|
| **持久化** | ✅ 自动(通过 checkpointer) | ⚠️ 取决于实现 |
| **版本控制** | ✅ 支持时间旅行 | ❌ 不支持 |
| **类型安全** | ✅ TypedDict 定义 | ❌ 任意字典 |
| **可追溯** | ✅ 每次更新都记录 | ⚠️ 只有最新值 |
| **标准化** | ✅ LangGraph 核心机制 | ⚠️ 扩展功能 |
### 实现细节
```python
# TitleMiddleware 核心逻辑
@override
def after_agent(self, state: TitleMiddlewareState, runtime: Runtime) -> dict | None:
"""Generate and set thread title after the first agent response."""
if self._should_generate_title(state, runtime):
title = self._generate_title(runtime)
print(f"Generated thread title: {title}")
# ✅ 返回 state 更新,会被 checkpointer 自动持久化
return {"title": title}
return None

# Configuration Guide
This guide explains how to configure DeerFlow for your environment.
## Config Versioning
`config.example.yaml` contains a `config_version` field that tracks schema changes. When the example version is higher than your local `config.yaml`, the application emits a startup warning:
```
WARNING - Your config.yaml (version 0) is outdated — the latest version is 1.
Run `make config-upgrade` to merge new fields into your config.
```
- **Missing `config_version`** in your config is treated as version 0.
- Run `make config-upgrade` to auto-merge missing fields (your existing values are preserved, a `.bak` backup is created).
- When changing the config schema, bump `config_version` in `config.example.yaml`.
## Configuration Sections
### Models
Configure the LLM models available to the agent:
```yaml
models:
- name: gpt-4 # Internal identifier
display_name: GPT-4 # Human-readable name
use: langchain_openai:ChatOpenAI # LangChain class path
model: gpt-4 # Model identifier for API
api_key: $OPENAI_API_KEY # API key (use env var)
max_tokens: 4096 # Max tokens per request
temperature: 0.7 # Sampling temperature
```
**Supported Providers**:
- OpenAI (`langchain_openai:ChatOpenAI`)
- Anthropic (`langchain_anthropic:ChatAnthropic`)
- DeepSeek (`langchain_deepseek:ChatDeepSeek`)
- Claude Code OAuth (`deerflow.models.claude_provider:ClaudeChatModel`)
- Codex CLI (`deerflow.models.openai_codex_provider:CodexChatModel`)
- Any LangChain-compatible provider
CLI-backed provider examples:
```yaml
models:
- name: gpt-5.4
display_name: GPT-5.4 (Codex CLI)
use: deerflow.models.openai_codex_provider:CodexChatModel
model: gpt-5.4
supports_thinking: true
supports_reasoning_effort: true
- name: claude-sonnet-4.6
display_name: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (Claude Code OAuth)
use: deerflow.models.claude_provider:ClaudeChatModel
model: claude-sonnet-4-6
max_tokens: 4096
supports_thinking: true
```
**Auth behavior for CLI-backed providers**:
- `CodexChatModel` loads Codex CLI auth from `~/.codex/auth.json`
- The Codex Responses endpoint currently rejects `max_tokens` and `max_output_tokens`, so `CodexChatModel` does not expose a request-level token cap
- `ClaudeChatModel` accepts `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN`, `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN`, `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN_FILE_DESCRIPTOR`, `CLAUDE_CODE_CREDENTIALS_PATH`, or plaintext `~/.claude/.credentials.json`
- On macOS, DeerFlow does not probe Keychain automatically. Use `scripts/export_claude_code_oauth.py` to export Claude Code auth explicitly when needed
To use OpenAI's `/v1/responses` endpoint with LangChain, keep using `langchain_openai:ChatOpenAI` and set:
```yaml
models:
- name: gpt-5-responses
display_name: GPT-5 (Responses API)
use: langchain_openai:ChatOpenAI
model: gpt-5
api_key: $OPENAI_API_KEY
use_responses_api: true
output_version: responses/v1
```
For OpenAI-compatible gateways (for example Novita or OpenRouter), keep using `langchain_openai:ChatOpenAI` and set `base_url`:
```yaml
models:
- name: novita-deepseek-v3.2
display_name: Novita DeepSeek V3.2
use: langchain_openai:ChatOpenAI
model: deepseek/deepseek-v3.2
api_key: $NOVITA_API_KEY
base_url: https://api.novita.ai/openai
supports_thinking: true
when_thinking_enabled:
extra_body:
thinking:
type: enabled
- name: minimax-m2.5
display_name: MiniMax M2.5
use: langchain_openai:ChatOpenAI
model: MiniMax-M2.5
api_key: $MINIMAX_API_KEY
base_url: https://api.minimax.io/v1
max_tokens: 4096
temperature: 1.0 # MiniMax requires temperature in (0.0, 1.0]
supports_vision: true
- name: minimax-m2.5-highspeed
display_name: MiniMax M2.5 Highspeed
use: langchain_openai:ChatOpenAI
model: MiniMax-M2.5-highspeed
api_key: $MINIMAX_API_KEY
base_url: https://api.minimax.io/v1
max_tokens: 4096
temperature: 1.0 # MiniMax requires temperature in (0.0, 1.0]
supports_vision: true
- name: openrouter-gemini-2.5-flash
display_name: Gemini 2.5 Flash (OpenRouter)
use: langchain_openai:ChatOpenAI
model: google/gemini-2.5-flash-preview
api_key: $OPENAI_API_KEY
base_url: https://openrouter.ai/api/v1
```
If your OpenRouter key lives in a different environment variable name, point `api_key` at that variable explicitly (for example `api_key: $OPENROUTER_API_KEY`).
**Thinking Models**:
Some models support "thinking" mode for complex reasoning:
```yaml
models:
- name: deepseek-v3
supports_thinking: true
when_thinking_enabled:
extra_body:
thinking:
type: enabled
```
**Gemini with thinking via OpenAI-compatible gateway**:
When routing Gemini through an OpenAI-compatible proxy (Vertex AI OpenAI compat endpoint, AI Studio, or third-party gateways) with thinking enabled, the API attaches a `thought_signature` to each tool-call object returned in the response. Every subsequent request that replays those assistant messages **must** echo those signatures back on the tool-call entries or the API returns:
```
HTTP 400 INVALID_ARGUMENT: function call `<tool>` in the N. content block is
missing a `thought_signature`.
```
Standard `langchain_openai:ChatOpenAI` silently drops `thought_signature` when serialising messages. Use `deerflow.models.patched_openai:PatchedChatOpenAI` instead — it re-injects the tool-call signatures (sourced from `AIMessage.additional_kwargs["tool_calls"]`) into every outgoing payload:
```yaml
models:
- name: gemini-2.5-pro-thinking
display_name: Gemini 2.5 Pro (Thinking)
use: deerflow.models.patched_openai:PatchedChatOpenAI
model: google/gemini-2.5-pro-preview # model name as expected by your gateway
api_key: $GEMINI_API_KEY
base_url: https://<your-openai-compat-gateway>/v1
max_tokens: 16384
supports_thinking: true
supports_vision: true
when_thinking_enabled:
extra_body:
thinking:
type: enabled
```
For Gemini accessed **without** thinking (e.g. via OpenRouter where thinking is not activated), the plain `langchain_openai:ChatOpenAI` with `supports_thinking: false` is sufficient and no patch is needed.
### Tool Groups
Organize tools into logical groups:
```yaml
tool_groups:
- name: web # Web browsing and search
- name: file:read # Read-only file operations
- name: file:write # Write file operations
- name: bash # Shell command execution
```
### Tools
Configure specific tools available to the agent:
```yaml
tools:
- name: web_search
group: web
use: deerflow.community.tavily.tools:web_search_tool
max_results: 5
# api_key: $TAVILY_API_KEY # Optional
```
**Built-in Tools**:
- `web_search` - Search the web (DuckDuckGo, Tavily, Exa, InfoQuest, Firecrawl)
- `web_fetch` - Fetch web pages (Jina AI, Exa, InfoQuest, Firecrawl)
- `ls` - List directory contents
- `read_file` - Read file contents
- `write_file` - Write file contents
- `str_replace` - String replacement in files
- `bash` - Execute bash commands
### Sandbox
DeerFlow supports multiple sandbox execution modes. Configure your preferred mode in `config.yaml`:
**Local Execution** (runs sandbox code directly on the host machine):
```yaml
sandbox:
use: deerflow.sandbox.local:LocalSandboxProvider # Local execution
allow_host_bash: false # default; host bash is disabled unless explicitly re-enabled
```
**Docker Execution** (runs sandbox code in isolated Docker containers):
```yaml
sandbox:
use: deerflow.community.aio_sandbox:AioSandboxProvider # Docker-based sandbox
```
**Docker Execution with Kubernetes** (runs sandbox code in Kubernetes pods via provisioner service):
This mode runs each sandbox in an isolated Kubernetes Pod on your **host machine's cluster**. Requires Docker Desktop K8s, OrbStack, or similar local K8s setup.
```yaml
sandbox:
use: deerflow.community.aio_sandbox:AioSandboxProvider
provisioner_url: http://provisioner:8002
```
When using Docker development (`make docker-start`), DeerFlow starts the `provisioner` service only if this provisioner mode is configured. In local or plain Docker sandbox modes, `provisioner` is skipped.
See [Provisioner Setup Guide](../../docker/provisioner/README.md) for detailed configuration, prerequisites, and troubleshooting.
Choose between local execution or Docker-based isolation:
**Option 1: Local Sandbox** (default, simpler setup):
```yaml
sandbox:
use: deerflow.sandbox.local:LocalSandboxProvider
allow_host_bash: false
```
`allow_host_bash` is intentionally `false` by default. DeerFlow's local sandbox is a host-side convenience mode, not a secure shell isolation boundary. If you need `bash`, prefer `AioSandboxProvider`. Only set `allow_host_bash: true` for fully trusted single-user local workflows.
**Option 2: Docker Sandbox** (isolated, more secure):
```yaml
sandbox:
use: deerflow.community.aio_sandbox:AioSandboxProvider
port: 8080
auto_start: true
container_prefix: deer-flow-sandbox
# Optional: Additional mounts
mounts:
- host_path: /path/on/host
container_path: /path/in/container
read_only: false
```
When you configure `sandbox.mounts`, DeerFlow exposes those `container_path` values in the agent prompt so the agent can discover and operate on mounted directories directly instead of assuming everything must live under `/mnt/user-data`.
For bare-metal Docker sandbox runs that use localhost, DeerFlow binds the sandbox HTTP port to `127.0.0.1` by default so it is not exposed on every host interface. Docker-outside-of-Docker deployments that connect through `host.docker.internal` keep the broad legacy bind for compatibility. Set `DEER_FLOW_SANDBOX_BIND_HOST` explicitly if your deployment needs a different bind address.
### Skills
Configure the skills directory for specialized workflows:
```yaml
skills:
# Host path (optional, default: ../skills)
path: /custom/path/to/skills
# Container mount path (default: /mnt/skills)
container_path: /mnt/skills
```
**How Skills Work**:
- Skills are stored in `deer-flow/skills/{public,custom}/`
- Each skill has a `SKILL.md` file with metadata
- Skills are automatically discovered and loaded
- Available in both local and Docker sandbox via path mapping
**Per-Agent Skill Filtering**:
Custom agents can restrict which skills they load by defining a `skills` field in their `config.yaml` (located at `workspace/agents/<agent_name>/config.yaml`):
- **Omitted or `null`**: Loads all globally enabled skills (default fallback).
- **`[]` (empty list)**: Disables all skills for this specific agent.
- **`["skill-name"]`**: Loads only the explicitly specified skills.
### Title Generation
Automatic conversation title generation:
```yaml
title:
enabled: true
max_words: 6
max_chars: 60
model_name: null # Use first model in list
```
### GitHub API Token (Optional for GitHub Deep Research Skill)
The default GitHub API rate limits are quite restrictive. For frequent project research, we recommend configuring a personal access token (PAT) with read-only permissions.
**Configuration Steps**:
1. Uncomment the `GITHUB_TOKEN` line in the `.env` file and add your personal access token
2. Restart the DeerFlow service to apply changes
## Environment Variables
DeerFlow supports environment variable substitution using the `$` prefix:
```yaml
models:
- api_key: $OPENAI_API_KEY # Reads from environment
```
**Common Environment Variables**:
- `OPENAI_API_KEY` - OpenAI API key
- `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` - Anthropic API key
- `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` - DeepSeek API key
- `NOVITA_API_KEY` - Novita API key (OpenAI-compatible endpoint)
- `TAVILY_API_KEY` - Tavily search API key
- `DEER_FLOW_PROJECT_ROOT` - Project root for relative runtime paths
- `DEER_FLOW_CONFIG_PATH` - Custom config file path
- `DEER_FLOW_EXTENSIONS_CONFIG_PATH` - Custom extensions config file path
- `DEER_FLOW_HOME` - Runtime state directory (defaults to `.deer-flow` under the project root)
- `DEER_FLOW_SKILLS_PATH` - Skills directory when `skills.path` is omitted
- `GATEWAY_ENABLE_DOCS` - Set to `false` to disable Swagger UI (`/docs`), ReDoc (`/redoc`), and OpenAPI schema (`/openapi.json`) endpoints (default: `true`)
## Configuration Location
The configuration file should be placed in the **project root directory** (`deer-flow/config.yaml`). Set `DEER_FLOW_PROJECT_ROOT` when the process may start from another working directory, or set `DEER_FLOW_CONFIG_PATH` to point at a specific file.
## Configuration Priority
DeerFlow searches for configuration in this order:
1. Path specified in code via `config_path` argument
2. Path from `DEER_FLOW_CONFIG_PATH` environment variable
3. `config.yaml` under `DEER_FLOW_PROJECT_ROOT`, or under the current working directory when `DEER_FLOW_PROJECT_ROOT` is unset
4. Legacy backend/repository-root locations for monorepo compatibility
## Best Practices
1. **Place `config.yaml` in project root** - Set `DEER_FLOW_PROJECT_ROOT` if the runtime starts elsewhere
2. **Never commit `config.yaml`** - It's already in `.gitignore`
3. **Use environment variables for secrets** - Don't hardcode API keys
4. **Keep `config.example.yaml` updated** - Document all new options
5. **Test configuration changes locally** - Before deploying
6. **Use Docker sandbox for production** - Better isolation and security
## Troubleshooting
### "Config file not found"
- Ensure `config.yaml` exists in the **project root** directory (`deer-flow/config.yaml`)
- If the runtime starts outside the project root, set `DEER_FLOW_PROJECT_ROOT`
- Alternatively, set `DEER_FLOW_CONFIG_PATH` environment variable to custom location
### "Invalid API key"
- Verify environment variables are set correctly
- Check that `$` prefix is used for env var references
### "Skills not loading"
- Check that `deer-flow/skills/` directory exists
- Verify skills have valid `SKILL.md` files
- Check `skills.path` or `DEER_FLOW_SKILLS_PATH` if using a custom path
### "Docker sandbox fails to start"
- Ensure Docker is running
- Check port 8080 (or configured port) is available
- Verify Docker image is accessible
## Examples
See `config.example.yaml` for complete examples of all configuration options.
# Configuration Guide
This guide explains how to configure DeerFlow for your environment.
## Config Versioning
`config.example.yaml` contains a `config_version` field that tracks schema changes. When the example version is higher than your local `config.yaml`, the application emits a startup warning:
```
WARNING - Your config.yaml (version 0) is outdated — the latest version is 1.
Run `make config-upgrade` to merge new fields into your config.
```
- **Missing `config_version`** in your config is treated as version 0.
- Run `make config-upgrade` to auto-merge missing fields (your existing values are preserved, a `.bak` backup is created).
- When changing the config schema, bump `config_version` in `config.example.yaml`.
## Configuration Sections
### Models
Configure the LLM models available to the agent:
```yaml
models:
- name: gpt-4 # Internal identifier
display_name: GPT-4 # Human-readable name
use: langchain_openai:ChatOpenAI # LangChain class path
model: gpt-4 # Model identifier for API
api_key: $OPENAI_API_KEY # API key (use env var)
max_tokens: 4096 # Max tokens per request
temperature: 0.7 # Sampling temperature
```
**Supported Providers**:
- OpenAI (`langchain_openai:ChatOpenAI`)
- Anthropic (`langchain_anthropic:ChatAnthropic`)
- DeepSeek (`langchain_deepseek:ChatDeepSeek`)
- Claude Code OAuth (`deerflow.models.claude_provider:ClaudeChatModel`)
- Codex CLI (`deerflow.models.openai_codex_provider:CodexChatModel`)
- Any LangChain-compatible provider
CLI-backed provider examples:
```yaml
models:
- name: gpt-5.4
display_name: GPT-5.4 (Codex CLI)
use: deerflow.models.openai_codex_provider:CodexChatModel
model: gpt-5.4
supports_thinking: true
supports_reasoning_effort: true
- name: claude-sonnet-4.6
display_name: Claude Sonnet 4.6 (Claude Code OAuth)
use: deerflow.models.claude_provider:ClaudeChatModel
model: claude-sonnet-4-6
max_tokens: 4096
supports_thinking: true
```
**Auth behavior for CLI-backed providers**:
- `CodexChatModel` loads Codex CLI auth from `~/.codex/auth.json`
- The Codex Responses endpoint currently rejects `max_tokens` and `max_output_tokens`, so `CodexChatModel` does not expose a request-level token cap
- `ClaudeChatModel` accepts `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN`, `ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN`, `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN_FILE_DESCRIPTOR`, `CLAUDE_CODE_CREDENTIALS_PATH`, or plaintext `~/.claude/.credentials.json`
- On macOS, DeerFlow does not probe Keychain automatically. Use `scripts/export_claude_code_oauth.py` to export Claude Code auth explicitly when needed
To use OpenAI's `/v1/responses` endpoint with LangChain, keep using `langchain_openai:ChatOpenAI` and set:
```yaml
models:
- name: gpt-5-responses
display_name: GPT-5 (Responses API)
use: langchain_openai:ChatOpenAI
model: gpt-5
api_key: $OPENAI_API_KEY
use_responses_api: true
output_version: responses/v1
```
For OpenAI-compatible gateways (for example Novita or OpenRouter), keep using `langchain_openai:ChatOpenAI` and set `base_url`:
```yaml
models:
- name: novita-deepseek-v3.2
display_name: Novita DeepSeek V3.2
use: langchain_openai:ChatOpenAI
model: deepseek/deepseek-v3.2
api_key: $NOVITA_API_KEY
base_url: https://api.novita.ai/openai
supports_thinking: true
when_thinking_enabled:
extra_body:
thinking:
type: enabled
- name: minimax-m2.5
display_name: MiniMax M2.5
use: langchain_openai:ChatOpenAI
model: MiniMax-M2.5
api_key: $MINIMAX_API_KEY
base_url: https://api.minimax.io/v1
max_tokens: 4096
temperature: 1.0 # MiniMax requires temperature in (0.0, 1.0]
supports_vision: true
- name: minimax-m2.5-highspeed
display_name: MiniMax M2.5 Highspeed
use: langchain_openai:ChatOpenAI
model: MiniMax-M2.5-highspeed
api_key: $MINIMAX_API_KEY
base_url: https://api.minimax.io/v1
max_tokens: 4096
temperature: 1.0 # MiniMax requires temperature in (0.0, 1.0]
supports_vision: true
- name: openrouter-gemini-2.5-flash
display_name: Gemini 2.5 Flash (OpenRouter)
use: langchain_openai:ChatOpenAI
model: google/gemini-2.5-flash-preview
api_key: $OPENAI_API_KEY
base_url: https://openrouter.ai/api/v1
```
If your OpenRouter key lives in a different environment variable name, point `api_key` at that variable explicitly (for example `api_key: $OPENROUTER_API_KEY`).
**Thinking Models**:
Some models support "thinking" mode for complex reasoning:
```yaml
models:
- name: deepseek-v3
supports_thinking: true
when_thinking_enabled:
extra_body:
thinking:
type: enabled
```
**Gemini with thinking via OpenAI-compatible gateway**:
When routing Gemini through an OpenAI-compatible proxy (Vertex AI OpenAI compat endpoint, AI Studio, or third-party gateways) with thinking enabled, the API attaches a `thought_signature` to each tool-call object returned in the response. Every subsequent request that replays those assistant messages **must** echo those signatures back on the tool-call entries or the API returns:
```
HTTP 400 INVALID_ARGUMENT: function call `<tool>` in the N. content block is
missing a `thought_signature`.
```
Standard `langchain_openai:ChatOpenAI` silently drops `thought_signature` when serialising messages. Use `deerflow.models.patched_openai:PatchedChatOpenAI` instead — it re-injects the tool-call signatures (sourced from `AIMessage.additional_kwargs["tool_calls"]`) into every outgoing payload:
```yaml
models:
- name: gemini-2.5-pro-thinking
display_name: Gemini 2.5 Pro (Thinking)
use: deerflow.models.patched_openai:PatchedChatOpenAI
model: google/gemini-2.5-pro-preview # model name as expected by your gateway
api_key: $GEMINI_API_KEY
base_url: https://<your-openai-compat-gateway>/v1
max_tokens: 16384
supports_thinking: true
supports_vision: true
when_thinking_enabled:
extra_body:
thinking:
type: enabled
```
For Gemini accessed **without** thinking (e.g. via OpenRouter where thinking is not activated), the plain `langchain_openai:ChatOpenAI` with `supports_thinking: false` is sufficient and no patch is needed.
### Tool Groups
Organize tools into logical groups:
```yaml
tool_groups:
- name: web # Web browsing and search
- name: file:read # Read-only file operations
- name: file:write # Write file operations
- name: bash # Shell command execution
```
### Tools
Configure specific tools available to the agent:
```yaml
tools:
- name: web_search
group: web
use: deerflow.community.tavily.tools:web_search_tool
max_results: 5
# api_key: $TAVILY_API_KEY # Optional
```
**Built-in Tools**:
- `web_search` - Search the web (DuckDuckGo, Tavily, Exa, InfoQuest, Firecrawl)
- `web_fetch` - Fetch web pages (Jina AI, Exa, InfoQuest, Firecrawl)
- `ls` - List directory contents
- `read_file` - Read file contents
- `write_file` - Write file contents
- `str_replace` - String replacement in files
- `bash` - Execute bash commands
### Sandbox
DeerFlow supports multiple sandbox execution modes. Configure your preferred mode in `config.yaml`:
**Local Execution** (runs sandbox code directly on the host machine):
```yaml
sandbox:
use: deerflow.sandbox.local:LocalSandboxProvider # Local execution
allow_host_bash: false # default; host bash is disabled unless explicitly re-enabled
```
**Docker Execution** (runs sandbox code in isolated Docker containers):
```yaml
sandbox:
use: deerflow.community.aio_sandbox:AioSandboxProvider # Docker-based sandbox
```
**Docker Execution with Kubernetes** (runs sandbox code in Kubernetes pods via provisioner service):
This mode runs each sandbox in an isolated Kubernetes Pod on your **host machine's cluster**. Requires Docker Desktop K8s, OrbStack, or similar local K8s setup.
```yaml

# 文件上传功能
## 概述
DeerFlow 后端提供了完整的文件上传功能,支持多文件上传,并可选地将 Office 文档和 PDF 转换为 Markdown 格式。
## 功能特性
- ✅ 支持多文件同时上传
- ✅ 可选地转换文档为 Markdown(PDF、PPT、Excel、Word)
- ✅ 文件存储在线程隔离的目录中
- ✅ Agent 自动感知已上传的文件
- ✅ 支持文件列表查询和删除
## API 端点
### 1. 上传文件
```
POST /api/threads/{thread_id}/uploads
```
**请求体:** `multipart/form-data`
- `files`: 一个或多个文件
网关会在应用层限制上传规模,默认最多 10 个文件、单文件 50 MiB、单次请求总计 100 MiB。可通过 `config.yaml` 的 `uploads.max_files`、`uploads.max_file_size`、`uploads.max_total_size` 调整;前端会读取同一组限制并在选择文件时提示,超过限制时后端返回 `413 Payload Too Large`。
**响应:**
```json
{
"success": true,
"files": [
{
"filename": "document.pdf",
"size": 1234567,
"path": ".deer-flow/threads/{thread_id}/user-data/uploads/document.pdf",
"virtual_path": "/mnt/user-data/uploads/document.pdf",
"artifact_url": "/api/threads/{thread_id}/artifacts/mnt/user-data/uploads/document.pdf",
"markdown_file": "document.md",
"markdown_path": ".deer-flow/threads/{thread_id}/user-data/uploads/document.md",
"markdown_virtual_path": "/mnt/user-data/uploads/document.md",
"markdown_artifact_url": "/api/threads/{thread_id}/artifacts/mnt/user-data/uploads/document.md"
}
],
"message": "Successfully uploaded 1 file(s)"
}
```
**路径说明:**
- `path`: 实际文件系统路径(相对于 `backend/` 目录)
- `virtual_path`: Agent 在沙箱中使用的虚拟路径
- `artifact_url`: 前端通过 HTTP 访问文件的 URL
### 2. 查询上传限制
```
GET /api/threads/{thread_id}/uploads/limits
```
返回网关当前生效的上传限制,供前端在用户选择文件前提示和拦截。
**响应:**
```json
{
"max_files": 10,
"max_file_size": 52428800,
"max_total_size": 104857600
}
```
### 3. 列出已上传文件
```
GET /api/threads/{thread_id}/uploads/list
```
**响应:**
```json
{
"files": [
{
"filename": "document.pdf",
"size": 1234567,
"path": ".deer-flow/threads/{thread_id}/user-data/uploads/document.pdf",
"virtual_path": "/mnt/user-data/uploads/document.pdf",
"artifact_url": "/api/threads/{thread_id}/artifacts/mnt/user-data/uploads/document.pdf",
"extension": ".pdf",
"modified": 1705997600.0
}
],
"count": 1
}
```
### 4. 删除文件
```
DELETE /api/threads/{thread_id}/uploads/{filename}
```
**响应:**
```json
{
"success": true,
"message": "Deleted document.pdf"
}
```
## 支持的文档格式
以下格式在显式启用 `uploads.auto_convert_documents: true` 时会自动转换为 Markdown:
- PDF (`.pdf`)
- PowerPoint (`.ppt`, `.pptx`)
- Excel (`.xls`, `.xlsx`)
- Word (`.doc`, `.docx`)
转换后的 Markdown 文件会保存在同一目录下,文件名为原文件名 + `.md` 扩展名。
默认情况下,自动转换是关闭的,以避免在网关主机上对不受信任的 Office/PDF 上传执行解析。只有在受信任部署中明确接受此风险时,才应将 `uploads.auto_convert_documents` 设置为 `true`。
## Agent 集成
### 自动文件列举
Agent 在每次请求时会自动收到已上传文件的列表,格式如下:
```xml
<uploaded_files>
The following files have been uploaded and are available for use:
- document.pdf (1.2 MB)
Path: /mnt/user-data/uploads/document.pdf
- document.md (45.3 KB)
Path: /mnt/user-data/uploads/document.md
You can read these files using the `read_file` tool with the paths shown above.
</uploaded_files>
```
### 使用上传的文件
Agent 在沙箱中运行,使用虚拟路径访问文件。Agent 可以直接使用 `read_file` 工具读取上传的文件:
```python
# 读取原始 PDF(如果支持)
read_file(path="/mnt/user-data/uploads/document.pdf")
# 读取转换后的 Markdown(推荐)
read_file(path="/mnt/user-data/uploads/document.md")
```
**路径映射关系:**
- Agent 使用:`/mnt/user-data/uploads/document.pdf`(虚拟路径)
- 实际存储:`backend/.deer-flow/threads/{thread_id}/user-data/uploads/document.pdf`
- 前端访问:`/api/threads/{thread_id}/artifacts/mnt/user-data/uploads/document.pdf`(HTTP URL)
上传流程采用“线程目录优先”策略:
- 先写入 `backend/.deer-flow/threads/{thread_id}/user-data/uploads/` 作为权威存储
- 本地沙箱(`sandbox_id=local`)直接使用线程目录内容
- 非本地沙箱会额外同步到 `/mnt/user-data/uploads/*`,确保运行时可见
## 测试示例
### 使用 curl 测试
```bash
# 1. 上传单个文件
curl -X POST http://localhost:2026/api/threads/test-thread/uploads \
-F "files=@/path/to/document.pdf"
# 2. 上传多个文件
curl -X POST http://localhost:2026/api/threads/test-thread/uploads \
-F "files=@/path/to/document.pdf" \
-F "files=@/path/to/presentation.pptx" \
-F "files=@/path/to/spreadsheet.xlsx"
# 3. 列出已上传文件
curl http://localhost:2026/api/threads/test-thread/uploads/list
# 4. 删除文件
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:2026/api/threads/test-thread/uploads/document.pdf
```
### 使用 Python 测试
```python
import requests
thread_id = "test-thread"
base_url = "http://localhost:2026"
# 上传文件
files = [
("files", open("document.pdf", "rb")),
("files", open("presentation.pptx", "rb")),
]
response = requests.post(
f"{base_url}/api/threads/{thread_id}/uploads",
files=files
)
print(response.json())
# 列出文件
response = requests.get(f"{base_url}/api/threads/{thread_id}/uploads/list")
print(response.json())
# 删除文件
response = requests.delete(
f"{base_url}/api/threads/{thread_id}/uploads/document.pdf"
)
print(response.json())
```
## 文件存储结构
```
backend/.deer-flow/threads/
└── {thread_id}/
└── user-data/
└── uploads/
├── document.pdf # 原始文件
├── document.md # 转换后的 Markdown
├── presentation.pptx
├── presentation.md
└── ...
```
## 限制
- 最大文件大小:100MB(可在 nginx.conf 中配置 `client_max_body_size`)
- 文件名安全性:系统会自动验证文件路径,防止目录遍历攻击
- 线程隔离:每个线程的上传文件相互隔离,无法跨线程访问
- 自动文档转换默认关闭;如需启用,需在 `config.yaml` 中显式设置 `uploads.auto_convert_documents: true`
## 技术实现
### 组件
1. **Upload Router** (`app/gateway/routers/uploads.py`)
- 处理文件上传、列表、删除请求
- 使用 markitdown 转换文档
2. **Uploads Middleware** (`packages/harness/deerflow/agents/middlewares/uploads_middleware.py`)
- 在每次 Agent 请求前注入文件列表
- 自动生成格式化的文件列表消息
3. **Nginx 配置** (`nginx.conf`)
- 路由上传请求到 Gateway API
- 配置大文件上传支持
### 依赖
- `markitdown>=0.0.1a2` - 文档转换
- `python-multipart>=0.0.20` - 文件上传处理
## 故障排查
### 文件上传失败
1. 检查文件大小是否超过限制
2. 检查 Gateway API 是否正常运行
3. 检查磁盘空间是否充足
4. 查看 Gateway 日志:`make gateway`
### 文档转换失败
1. 检查 markitdown 是否正确安装:`uv run python -c "import markitdown"`
2. 查看日志中的具体错误信息
3. 某些损坏或加密的文档可能无法转换,但原文件仍会保存
### Agent 看不到上传的文件
1. 确认 UploadsMiddleware 已在 agent.py 中注册
2. 检查 thread_id 是否正确
3. 确认文件确实已上传到 `backend/.deer-flow/threads/{thread_id}/user-data/uploads/`
4. 非本地沙箱场景下,确认上传接口没有报错(需要成功完成 sandbox 同步)
## 开发建议
### 前端集成
```typescript
// 上传文件示例
async function uploadFiles(threadId: string, files: File[]) {
const formData = new FormData();
files.forEach(file => {
formData.append('files', file);
});
const response = await fetch(
`/api/threads/${threadId}/uploads`,
{
method: 'POST',
body: formData,
}
);
return response.json();
}
// 列出文件
async function listFiles(threadId: string) {
const response = await fetch(
`/api/threads/${threadId}/uploads/list`
);
return response.json();
}
```
### 扩展功能建议
1. **文件预览**:添加预览端点,支持在浏览器中直接查看文件
2. **批量删除**:支持一次删除多个文件
3. **文件搜索**:支持按文件名或类型搜索
4. **版本控制**:保留文件的多个版本
5. **压缩包支持**:自动解压 zip 文件
6. **图片 OCR**:对上传的图片进行 OCR 识别
# 文件上传功能
## 概述
DeerFlow 后端提供了完整的文件上传功能,支持多文件上传,并可选地将 Office 文档和 PDF 转换为 Markdown 格式。
## 功能特性
- ✅ 支持多文件同时上传
- ✅ 可选地转换文档为 Markdown(PDF、PPT、Excel、Word)
- ✅ 文件存储在线程隔离的目录中
- ✅ Agent 自动感知已上传的文件
- ✅ 支持文件列表查询和删除
## API 端点
### 1. 上传文件
```
POST /api/threads/{thread_id}/uploads
```
**请求体:** `multipart/form-data`
- `files`: 一个或多个文件
网关会在应用层限制上传规模,默认最多 10 个文件、单文件 50 MiB、单次请求总计 100 MiB。可通过 `config.yaml` 的 `uploads.max_files`、`uploads.max_file_size`、`uploads.max_total_size` 调整;前端会读取同一组限制并在选择文件时提示,超过限制时后端返回 `413 Payload Too Large`。
**响应:**
```json
{
"success": true,
"files": [
{
"filename": "document.pdf",
"size": 1234567,
"path": ".deer-flow/threads/{thread_id}/user-data/uploads/document.pdf",
"virtual_path": "/mnt/user-data/uploads/document.pdf",
"artifact_url": "/api/threads/{thread_id}/artifacts/mnt/user-data/uploads/document.pdf",
"markdown_file": "document.md",
"markdown_path": ".deer-flow/threads/{thread_id}/user-data/uploads/document.md",
"markdown_virtual_path": "/mnt/user-data/uploads/document.md",
"markdown_artifact_url": "/api/threads/{thread_id}/artifacts/mnt/user-data/uploads/document.md"
}
],
"message": "Successfully uploaded 1 file(s)"
}
```
**路径说明:**
- `path`: 实际文件系统路径(相对于 `backend/` 目录)
- `virtual_path`: Agent 在沙箱中使用的虚拟路径
- `artifact_url`: 前端通过 HTTP 访问文件的 URL
### 2. 查询上传限制
```
GET /api/threads/{thread_id}/uploads/limits
```
返回网关当前生效的上传限制,供前端在用户选择文件前提示和拦截。
**响应:**
```json
{
"max_files": 10,
"max_file_size": 52428800,
"max_total_size": 104857600
}
```
### 3. 列出已上传文件
```
GET /api/threads/{thread_id}/uploads/list
```
**响应:**
```json
{
"files": [
{
"filename": "document.pdf",
"size": 1234567,
"path": ".deer-flow/threads/{thread_id}/user-data/uploads/document.pdf",
"virtual_path": "/mnt/user-data/uploads/document.pdf",
"artifact_url": "/api/threads/{thread_id}/artifacts/mnt/user-data/uploads/document.pdf",
"extension": ".pdf",
"modified": 1705997600.0
}
],
"count": 1
}
```
### 4. 删除文件
```
DELETE /api/threads/{thread_id}/uploads/{filename}
```
**响应:**
```json
{
"success": true,
"message": "Deleted document.pdf"
}
```
## 支持的文档格式
以下格式在显式启用 `uploads.auto_convert_documents: true` 时会自动转换为 Markdown:
- PDF (`.pdf`)
- PowerPoint (`.ppt`, `.pptx`)
- Excel (`.xls`, `.xlsx`)
- Word (`.doc`, `.docx`)
转换后的 Markdown 文件会保存在同一目录下,文件名为原文件名 + `.md` 扩展名。
默认情况下,自动转换是关闭的,以避免在网关主机上对不受信任的 Office/PDF 上传执行解析。只有在受信任部署中明确接受此风险时,才应将 `uploads.auto_convert_documents` 设置为 `true`。
## Agent 集成
### 自动文件列举
Agent 在每次请求时会自动收到已上传文件的列表,格式如下:
```xml
<uploaded_files>
The following files have been uploaded and are available for use:
- document.pdf (1.2 MB)
Path: /mnt/user-data/uploads/document.pdf
- document.md (45.3 KB)
Path: /mnt/user-data/uploads/document.md
You can read these files using the `read_file` tool with the paths shown above.
</uploaded_files>
```
### 使用上传的文件
Agent 在沙箱中运行,使用虚拟路径访问文件。Agent 可以直接使用 `read_file` 工具读取上传的文件:
```python
# 读取原始 PDF(如果支持)
read_file(path="/mnt/user-data/uploads/document.pdf")
# 读取转换后的 Markdown(推荐)
read_file(path="/mnt/user-data/uploads/document.md")
```
**路径映射关系:**
- Agent 使用:`/mnt/user-data/uploads/document.pdf`(虚拟路径)
- 实际存储:`backend/.deer-flow/threads/{thread_id}/user-data/uploads/document.pdf`
- 前端访问:`/api/threads/{thread_id}/artifacts/mnt/user-data/uploads/document.pdf`(HTTP URL)
上传流程采用“线程目录优先”策略:
- 先写入 `backend/.deer-flow/threads/{thread_id}/user-data/uploads/` 作为权威存储
- 本地沙箱(`sandbox_id=local`)直接使用线程目录内容
- 非本地沙箱会额外同步到 `/mnt/user-data/uploads/*`,确保运行时可见
## 测试示例
### 使用 curl 测试
```bash
# 1. 上传单个文件
curl -X POST http://localhost:2026/api/threads/test-thread/uploads \
-F "files=@/path/to/document.pdf"
# 2. 上传多个文件
curl -X POST http://localhost:2026/api/threads/test-thread/uploads \
-F "files=@/path/to/document.pdf" \
-F "files=@/path/to/presentation.pptx" \
-F "files=@/path/to/spreadsheet.xlsx"
# 3. 列出已上传文件
curl http://localhost:2026/api/threads/test-thread/uploads/list
# 4. 删除文件
curl -X DELETE http://localhost:2026/api/threads/test-thread/uploads/document.pdf
```
### 使用 Python 测试
```python
import requests
thread_id = "test-thread"
base_url = "http://localhost:2026"
# 上传文件
files = [
("files", open("document.pdf", "rb")),
("files", open("presentation.pptx", "rb")),
]
response = requests.post(
f"{base_url}/api/threads/{thread_id}/uploads",
files=files
)
print(response.json())
# 列出文件
response = requests.get(f"{base_url}/api/threads/{thread_id}/uploads/list")
print(response.json())
# 删除文件
response = requests.delete(
f"{base_url}/api/threads/{thread_id}/uploads/document.pdf"
)
print(response.json())
```
## 文件存储结构
```
backend/.deer-flow/threads/
└── {thread_id}/
└── user-data/
└── uploads/
├── document.pdf # 原始文件
├── document.md # 转换后的 Markdown
├── presentation.pptx
├── presentation.md
└── ...
```
## 限制
- 最大文件大小:100MB(可在 nginx.conf 中配置 `client_max_body_size`)
- 文件名安全性:系统会自动验证文件路径,防止目录遍历攻击
- 线程隔离:每个线程的上传文件相互隔离,无法跨线程访问
- 自动文档转换默认关闭;如需启用,需在 `config.yaml` 中显式设置 `uploads.auto_convert_documents: true`

# Guardrails: Pre-Tool-Call Authorization
> **Context:** [Issue #1213](https://github.com/bytedance/deer-flow/issues/1213) — DeerFlow has Docker sandboxing and human approval via `ask_clarification`, but no deterministic, policy-driven authorization layer for tool calls. An agent running autonomous multi-step tasks can execute any loaded tool with any arguments. Guardrails add a middleware that evaluates every tool call against a policy **before** execution.
## Why Guardrails
```
Without guardrails: With guardrails:
Agent Agent

│ policy │
└──────┬───────┘
│
┌─────┴─────┐
│ │
ALLOW DENY
│ │
▼ ▼
Tool runs Agent sees:
normally "Guardrail denied:
rm -rf blocked"
```
- **Sandboxing** provides process isolation but not semantic authorization. A sandboxed `bash` can still `curl` data out.
- **Human approval** (`ask_clarification`) requires a human in the loop for every action. Not viable for autonomous workflows.
- **Guardrails** provide deterministic, policy-driven authorization that works without human intervention.

Built-in OAP Passport Custom
Allowlist Provider Provider
(zero dep) (open standard) (your code)
│
Any implementation
(e.g. APort, or
your own evaluator)
```
The `GuardrailMiddleware` implements `wrap_tool_call` / `awrap_tool_call` (the same `AgentMiddleware` pattern used by `ToolErrorHandlingMiddleware`). It:
1. Builds a `GuardrailRequest` with tool name, arguments, and passport reference
2. Calls `provider.evaluate(request)` on whatever provider is configured
3. If **deny**: returns `ToolMessage(status="error")` with the reason -- agent sees the denial and adapts
4. If **allow**: passes through to the actual tool handler
5. If **provider error** and `fail_closed=true` (default): blocks the call
6. `GraphBubbleUp` exceptions (LangGraph control signals) are always propagated, never caught
## Three Provider Options
### Option 1: Built-in AllowlistProvider (Zero Dependencies)
The simplest option. Ships with DeerFlow. Block or allow tools by name. No external packages, no passport, no network.
**config.yaml:**
```yaml
guardrails:
enabled: true
provider:
use: deerflow.guardrails.builtin:AllowlistProvider
config:
denied_tools: ["bash", "write_file"]
```
This blocks `bash` and `write_file` for all requests. All other tools pass through.
You can also use an allowlist (only these tools are permitted):
```yaml
guardrails:
enabled: true
provider:
use: deerflow.guardrails.builtin:AllowlistProvider
config:
allowed_tools: ["web_search", "read_file", "ls"]
```
**Try it:**
1. Add the config above to your `config.yaml`
2. Start DeerFlow: `make dev`
3. Ask the agent: "Use bash to run echo hello"
4. The agent sees: `Guardrail denied: tool 'bash' was blocked (oap.tool_not_allowed)`
### Option 2: OAP Passport Provider (Policy-Based)
For policy enforcement based on the [Open Agent Passport (OAP)](https://github.com/aporthq/aport-spec) open standard. An OAP passport is a JSON document that declares an agent's identity, capabilities, and operational limits. Any provider that reads an OAP passport and returns OAP-compliant decisions works with DeerFlow.
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ OAP Passport (JSON) │
│ (open standard, any provider) │
│ { │
│ "spec_version": "oap/1.0", │
│ "status": "active", │
│ "capabilities": [ │
│ {"id": "system.command.execute"}, │
│ {"id": "data.file.read"}, │

│ {"id": "web.fetch"}, │
│ {"id": "mcp.tool.execute"} │
│ ], │
│ "limits": { │
│ "system.command.execute": { │
│ "allowed_commands": ["git", "npm", "node", "ls"], │
│ "blocked_patterns": ["rm -rf", "sudo", "chmod 777"] │
│ } │
│ } │
│ } │
└──────────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────┘
│
Any OAP-compliant provider
┌────────────────┼────────────────┐
│ │ │
Your own APort (ref. Other future
evaluator implementation) implementations
```
**Creating a passport manually:**
An OAP passport is just a JSON file. You can create one by hand following the [OAP specification](https://github.com/aporthq/aport-spec/blob/main/oap/oap-spec.md) and validate it against the [JSON schema](https://github.com/aporthq/aport-spec/blob/main/oap/passport-schema.json). See the [examples](https://github.com/aporthq/aport-spec/tree/main/oap/examples) directory for templates.
**Using APort as a reference implementation:**
[APort Agent Guardrails](https://github.com/aporthq/aport-agent-guardrails) is one open-source (Apache 2.0) implementation of an OAP provider. It handles passport creation, local evaluation, and optional hosted API evaluation.
```bash
pip install aport-agent-guardrails
aport setup --framework deerflow
```
This creates:
- `~/.aport/deerflow/config.yaml` -- evaluator config (local or API mode)
- `~/.aport/deerflow/aport/passport.json` -- OAP passport with capabilities and limits
**config.yaml (using APort as the provider):**
```yaml
guardrails:
enabled: true
provider:
use: aport_guardrails.providers.generic:OAPGuardrailProvider
```
**config.yaml (using your own OAP provider):**
```yaml
guardrails:
enabled: true
provider:
use: my_oap_provider:MyOAPProvider
config:
passport_path: ./my-passport.json
```
Any provider that accepts `framework` as a kwarg and implements `evaluate`/`aevaluate` works. The OAP standard defines the passport format and decision codes; DeerFlow doesn't care which provider reads them.
**What the passport controls:**
| Passport field | What it does | Example |
|---|---|---|
| `capabilities[].id` | Which tool categories the agent can use | `system.command.execute`, `data.file.write` |
| `limits.*.allowed_commands` | Which commands are allowed | `["git", "npm", "node"]` or `["*"]` for all |
| `limits.*.blocked_patterns` | Patterns always denied | `["rm -rf", "sudo", "chmod 777"]` |
| `status` | Kill switch | `active`, `suspended`, `revoked` |
**Evaluation modes (provider-dependent):**
OAP providers may support different evaluation modes. For example, the APort reference implementation supports:
| Mode | How it works | Network | Latency |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Local** | Evaluates passport locally (bash script). | None | ~300ms |
| **API** | Sends passport + context to a hosted evaluator. Signed decisions. | Yes | ~65ms |
A custom OAP provider can implement any evaluation strategy -- the DeerFlow middleware doesn't care how the provider reaches its decision.
**Try it:**
1. Install and set up as above
2. Start DeerFlow and ask: "Create a file called test.txt with content hello"
3. Then ask: "Now delete it using bash rm -rf"
4. Guardrail blocks it: `oap.blocked_pattern: Command contains blocked pattern: rm -rf`
### Option 3: Custom Provider (Bring Your Own)
Any Python class with `evaluate(request)` and `aevaluate(request)` methods works. No base class or inheritance needed -- it's a structural protocol.
```python
# my_guardrail.py
class MyGuardrailProvider:
name = "my-company"
def evaluate(self, request):
from deerflow.guardrails.provider import GuardrailDecision, GuardrailReason
# Example: block any bash command containing "delete"
if request.tool_name == "bash" and "delete" in str(request.tool_input):
return GuardrailDecision(
allow=False,
reasons=[GuardrailReason(code="custom.blocked", message="delete not allowed")],
policy_id="custom.v1",
)
return GuardrailDecision(allow=True, reasons=[GuardrailReason(code="oap.allowed")])
async def aevaluate(self, request):
return self.evaluate(request)
```
**config.yaml:**
```yaml
guardrails:
enabled: true
provider:
use: my_guardrail:MyGuardrailProvider
```
Make sure `my_guardrail.py` is on the Python path (e.g. in the backend directory or installed as a package).
**Try it:**
1. Create `my_guardrail.py` in the backend directory
2. Add the config
3. Start DeerFlow and ask: "Use bash to delete test.txt"
4. Your provider blocks it
## Implementing a Provider
### Required Interface
```
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ GuardrailProvider Protocol │
│ │
│ name: str │
│ │
│ evaluate(request: GuardrailRequest) │
│ -> GuardrailDecision │
│ │
│ aevaluate(request: GuardrailRequest) (async) │
│ -> GuardrailDecision │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

└──────────────────────────┘ │ message: str │
└──────────────────────────┘
```
### DeerFlow Tool Names
These are the tool names your provider will see in `request.tool_name`:
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| `bash` | Shell command execution |
| `write_file` | Create/overwrite a file |
| `str_replace` | Edit a file (find and replace) |
| `read_file` | Read file content |
| `ls` | List directory |
| `web_search` | Web search query |
| `web_fetch` | Fetch URL content |
| `image_search` | Image search |
| `present_files` | Present file to user |
| `view_image` | Display image |
| `ask_clarification` | Ask user a question |
| `task` | Delegate to subagent |
| `mcp__*` | MCP tools (dynamic) |
### OAP Reason Codes
Standard codes used by the [OAP specification](https://github.com/aporthq/aport-spec):
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `oap.allowed` | Tool call authorized |
| `oap.tool_not_allowed` | Tool not in allowlist |
| `oap.command_not_allowed` | Command not in allowed_commands |
| `oap.blocked_pattern` | Command matches a blocked pattern |
| `oap.limit_exceeded` | Operation exceeds a limit |
| `oap.passport_suspended` | Passport status is suspended/revoked |
| `oap.evaluator_error` | Provider crashed (fail-closed) |
### Provider Loading
DeerFlow loads providers via `resolve_variable()` -- the same mechanism used for models, tools, and sandbox providers. The `use:` field is a Python class path: `package.module:ClassName`.
The provider is instantiated with `**config` kwargs if `config:` is set, plus `framework="deerflow"` is always injected. Accept `**kwargs` to stay forward-compatible:
```python
class YourProvider:
def __init__(self, framework: str = "generic", **kwargs):
# framework="deerflow" tells you which config dir to use
...
```
## Configuration Reference
```yaml
guardrails:
# Enable/disable guardrail middleware (default: false)
enabled: true
# Block tool calls if provider raises an exception (default: true)
fail_closed: true
# Passport reference -- passed as request.agent_id to the provider.
# File path, hosted agent ID, or null (provider resolves from its config).
passport: null
# Provider: loaded by class path via resolve_variable
provider:
use: deerflow.guardrails.builtin:AllowlistProvider
config: # optional kwargs passed to provider.__init__
denied_tools: ["bash"]
```
## Testing
```bash
cd backend
uv run python -m pytest tests/test_guardrail_middleware.py -v
```
25 tests covering:
- AllowlistProvider: allow, deny, both allowlist+denylist, async
- GuardrailMiddleware: allow passthrough, deny with OAP codes, fail-closed, fail-open, passport forwarding, empty reasons fallback, empty tool name, protocol isinstance check
- Async paths: awrap_tool_call for allow, deny, fail-closed, fail-open
- GraphBubbleUp: LangGraph control signals propagate through (not caught)
- Config: defaults, from_dict, singleton load/reset

Built-in OAP Passport Custom

Any implementation

your own evaluator)
```
The `GuardrailMiddleware` implements `wrap_tool_call` / `awrap_tool_call` (the same `AgentMiddleware` pattern used by `ToolErrorHandlingMiddleware`). It:
1. Builds a `GuardrailRequest` with tool name, arguments, and passport reference
2. Calls `provider.evaluate(request)` on whatever provider is configured
3. If **deny**: returns `ToolMessage(status="error")` with the reason -- agent sees the denial and adapts
4. If **allow**: passes through to the actual tool handler
5. If **provider error** and `fail_closed=true` (default): blocks the call
6. `GraphBubbleUp` exceptions (LangGraph control signals) are always propagated, never caught
## Three Provider Options
### Option 1: Built-in AllowlistProvider (Zero Dependencies)
The simplest option. Ships with DeerFlow. Block or allow tools by name. No external packages, no passport, no network.
**config.yaml:**
```yaml
guardrails:
enabled: true
provider:
use: deerflow.guardrails.builtin:AllowlistProvider
config:
denied_tools: ["bash", "write_file"]
```
This blocks `bash` and `write_file` for all requests. All other tools pass through.
You can also use an allowlist (only these tools are permitted):
```yaml
guardrails:
enabled: true
provider:
use: deerflow.guardrails.builtin:AllowlistProvider
config:
allowed_tools: ["web_search", "read_file", "ls"]
```
**Try it:**
1. Add the config above to your `config.yaml`
2. Start DeerFlow: `make dev`
3. Ask the agent: "Use bash to run echo hello"
4. The agent sees: `Guardrail denied: tool 'bash' was blocked (oap.tool_not_allowed)`
### Option 2: OAP Passport Provider (Policy-Based)
For policy enforcement based on the [Open Agent Passport (OAP)](https://github.com/aporthq/aport-spec) open standard. An OAP passport is a JSON document that declares an agent's identity, capabilities, and operational limits. Any provider that reads an OAP passport and returns OAP-compliant decisions works with DeerFlow.
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

│ } │
│ } │
└──────────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────┘
│
Any OAP-compliant provider
┌────────────────┼────────────────┐
│ │ │
Your own APort (ref. Other future
evaluator implementation) implementations
```
**Creating a passport manually:**
An OAP passport is just a JSON file. You can create one by hand following the [OAP specification](https://github.com/aporthq/aport-spec/blob/main/oap/oap-spec.md) and validate it against the [JSON schema](https://github.com/aporthq/aport-spec/blob/main/oap/passport-schema.json). See the [examples](https://github.com/aporthq/aport-spec/tree/main/oap/examples) directory for templates.
**Using APort as a reference implementation:**
[APort Agent Guardrails](https://github.com/aporthq/aport-agent-guardrails) is one open-source (Apache 2.0) implementation of an OAP provider. It handles passport creation, local evaluation, and optional hosted API evaluation.
```bash
pip install aport-agent-guardrails
aport setup --framework deerflow
```
This creates:
- `~/.aport/deerflow/config.yaml` -- evaluator config (local or API mode)
- `~/.aport/deerflow/aport/passport.json` -- OAP passport with capabilities and limits
**config.yaml (using APort as the provider):**
```yaml
guardrails:
enabled: true
provider:
use: aport_guardrails.providers.generic:OAPGuardrailProvider
```
**config.yaml (using your own OAP provider):**
```yaml
guardrails:
enabled: true
provider:
use: my_oap_provider:MyOAPProvider
config:
passport_path: ./my-passport.json
```
Any provider that accepts `framework` as a kwarg and implements `evaluate`/`aevaluate` works. The OAP standard defines the passport format and decision codes; DeerFlow doesn't care which provider reads them.
**What the passport controls:**
| Passport field | What it does | Example |
|---|---|---|
| `capabilities[].id` | Which tool categories the agent can use | `system.command.execute`, `data.file.write` |
| `limits.*.allowed_commands` | Which commands are allowed | `["git", "npm", "node"]` or `["*"]` for all |
| `limits.*.blocked_patterns` | Patterns always denied | `["rm -rf", "sudo", "chmod 777"]` |
| `status` | Kill switch | `active`, `suspended`, `revoked` |
**Evaluation modes (provider-dependent):**
OAP providers may support different evaluation modes. For example, the APort reference implementation supports:
| Mode | How it works | Network | Latency |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Local** | Evaluates passport locally (bash script). | None | ~300ms |
| **API** | Sends passport + context to a hosted evaluator. Signed decisions. | Yes | ~65ms |
A custom OAP provider can implement any evaluation strategy -- the DeerFlow middleware doesn't care how the provider reaches its decision.
**Try it:**
1. Install and set up as above
2. Start DeerFlow and ask: "Create a file called test.txt with content hello"
3. Then ask: "Now delete it using bash rm -rf"
4. Guardrail blocks it: `oap.blocked_pattern: Command contains blocked pattern: rm -rf`
### Option 3: Custom Provider (Bring Your Own)
Any Python class with `evaluate(request)` and `aevaluate(request)` methods works. No base class or inheritance needed -- it's a structural protocol.
```python
# my_guardrail.py
class MyGuardrailProvider:
name = "my-company"
def evaluate(self, request):
from deerflow.guardrails.provider import GuardrailDecision, GuardrailReason
# Example: block any bash command containing "delete"
if request.tool_name == "bash" and "delete" in str(request.tool_input):
return GuardrailDecision(
allow=False,
reasons=[GuardrailReason(code="custom.blocked", message="delete not allowed")],
policy_id="custom.v1",
)
return GuardrailDecision(allow=True, reasons=[GuardrailReason(code="oap.allowed")])
async def aevaluate(self, request):
return self.evaluate(request)
```
**config.yaml:**
```yaml
guardrails:
enabled: true
provider:
use: my_guardrail:MyGuardrailProvider
```
Make sure `my_guardrail.py` is on the Python path (e.g. in the backend directory or installed as a package).
**Try it:**
1. Create `my_guardrail.py` in the backend directory
2. Add the config
3. Start DeerFlow and ask: "Use bash to delete test.txt"
4. Your provider blocks it
## Implementing a Provider

```
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ GuardrailProvider Protocol │
│ │
│ name: str │
│ │
│ evaluate(request: GuardrailRequest) │

```
### DeerFlow Tool Names
These are the tool names your provider will see in `request.tool_name`:
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| `bash` | Shell command execution |
| `write_file` | Create/overwrite a file |
| `str_replace` | Edit a file (find and replace) |
| `read_file` | Read file content |
| `ls` | List directory |
| `web_search` | Web search query |
| `web_fetch` | Fetch URL content |
| `image_search` | Image search |
| `present_files` | Present file to user |
| `view_image` | Display image |
| `ask_clarification` | Ask user a question |
| `task` | Delegate to subagent |
| `mcp__*` | MCP tools (dynamic) |
### OAP Reason Codes
Standard codes used by the [OAP specification](https://github.com/aporthq/aport-spec):
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `oap.allowed` | Tool call authorized |
| `oap.tool_not_allowed` | Tool not in allowlist |
| `oap.command_not_allowed` | Command not in allowed_commands |
| `oap.blocked_pattern` | Command matches a blocked pattern |
| `oap.limit_exceeded` | Operation exceeds a limit |
| `oap.passport_suspended` | Passport status is suspended/revoked |
| `oap.evaluator_error` | Provider crashed (fail-closed) |
### Provider Loading
DeerFlow loads providers via `resolve_variable()` -- the same mechanism used for models, tools, and sandbox providers. The `use:` field is a Python class path: `package.module:ClassName`.
The provider is instantiated with `**config` kwargs if `config:` is set, plus `framework="deerflow"` is always injected. Accept `**kwargs` to stay forward-compatible:
```python
class YourProvider:
def __init__(self, framework: str = "generic", **kwargs):
# framework="deerflow" tells you which config dir to use
...
```
## Configuration Reference
```yaml
guardrails:
# Enable/disable guardrail middleware (default: false)
enabled: true
# Block tool calls if provider raises an exception (default: true)
fail_closed: true
# Passport reference -- passed as request.agent_id to the provider.
# File path, hosted agent ID, or null (provider resolves from its config).
passport: null
# Provider: loaded by class path via resolve_variable
provider:
use: deerflow.guardrails.builtin:AllowlistProvider
config: # optional kwargs passed to provider.__init__
denied_tools: ["bash"]
```
## Testing
```bash
cd backend
uv run python -m pytest tests/test_guardrail_middleware.py -v
```
25 tests covering:
- AllowlistProvider: allow, deny, both allowlist+denylist, async
- GuardrailMiddleware: allow passthrough, deny with OAP codes, fail-closed, fail-open, passport forwarding, empty reasons fallback, empty tool name, protocol isinstance check
- Async paths: awrap_tool_call for allow, deny, fail-closed, fail-open
- GraphBubbleUp: LangGraph control signals propagate through (not caught)
- Config: defaults, from_dict, singleton load/reset

# MCP (Model Context Protocol) Configuration
DeerFlow supports configurable MCP servers and skills to extend its capabilities, which are loaded from a dedicated `extensions_config.json` file in the project root directory.
## Setup
1. Copy `extensions_config.example.json` to `extensions_config.json` in the project root directory.
```bash
# Copy example configuration
cp extensions_config.example.json extensions_config.json
```
2. Enable the desired MCP servers or skills by setting `"enabled": true`.
3. Configure each server’s command, arguments, and environment variables as needed.
4. Restart the application to load and register MCP tools.
## OAuth Support (HTTP/SSE MCP Servers)
For `http` and `sse` MCP servers, DeerFlow supports OAuth token acquisition and automatic token refresh.
- Supported grants: `client_credentials`, `refresh_token`
- Configure per-server `oauth` block in `extensions_config.json`
- Secrets should be provided via environment variables (for example: `$MCP_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET`)
Example:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"secure-http-server": {
"enabled": true,
"type": "http",
"url": "https://api.example.com/mcp",
"oauth": {
"enabled": true,
"token_url": "https://auth.example.com/oauth/token",
"grant_type": "client_credentials",
"client_id": "$MCP_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID",
"client_secret": "$MCP_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET",
"scope": "mcp.read",
"refresh_skew_seconds": 60
}
}
}
}
```
## Custom Tool Interceptors
You can register custom interceptors that run before every MCP tool call. This is useful for injecting per-request headers (e.g., user auth tokens from the LangGraph execution context), logging, or metrics.
Declare interceptors in `extensions_config.json` using the `mcpInterceptors` field:
```json
{
"mcpInterceptors": [
"my_package.mcp.auth:build_auth_interceptor"
],
"mcpServers": { ... }
}
```
Each entry is a Python import path in `module:variable` format (resolved via `resolve_variable`). The variable must be a **no-arg builder function** that returns an async interceptor compatible with `MultiServerMCPClient`’s `tool_interceptors` interface, or `None` to skip.
Example interceptor that injects auth headers from LangGraph metadata:
```python
def build_auth_interceptor():
async def interceptor(request, handler):
from langgraph.config import get_config
metadata = get_config().get("metadata", {})
headers = dict(request.headers or {})
if token := metadata.get("auth_token"):
headers["X-Auth-Token"] = token
return await handler(request.override(headers=headers))
return interceptor
```
- A single string value is accepted and normalized to a one-element list.
- Invalid paths or builder failures are logged as warnings without blocking other interceptors.
- The builder return value must be `callable`; non-callable values are skipped with a warning.
## How It Works
MCP servers expose tools that are automatically discovered and integrated into DeerFlow’s agent system at runtime. Once enabled, these tools become available to agents without additional code changes.
## Example Capabilities
MCP servers can provide access to:
- **File systems**
- **Databases** (e.g., PostgreSQL)
- **External APIs** (e.g., GitHub, Brave Search)
- **Browser automation** (e.g., Puppeteer)
- **Custom MCP server implementations**

# Memory System Improvements
This document tracks memory injection behavior and roadmap status.
## Status (As Of 2026-03-10)
Implemented in `main`:
- Accurate token counting via `tiktoken` in `format_memory_for_injection`.
- Facts are injected into prompt memory context.
- Facts are ranked by confidence (descending).
- Injection respects `max_injection_tokens` budget.
Planned / not yet merged:
- TF-IDF similarity-based fact retrieval.
- `current_context` input for context-aware scoring.
- Configurable similarity/confidence weights (`similarity_weight`, `confidence_weight`).
- Middleware/runtime wiring for context-aware retrieval before each model call.
## Current Behavior
Function today:
```python
def format_memory_for_injection(memory_data: dict[str, Any], max_tokens: int = 2000) -> str:
```
Current injection format:
- `User Context` section from `user.*.summary`
- `History` section from `history.*.summary`
- `Facts` section from `facts[]`, sorted by confidence, appended until token budget is reached
Token counting:
- Uses `tiktoken` (`cl100k_base`) when available
- Falls back to `len(text) // 4` if tokenizer import fails
## Known Gap
Previous versions of this document described TF-IDF/context-aware retrieval as if it were already shipped.
That was not accurate for `main` and caused confusion.
Issue reference: `#1059`
## Roadmap (Planned)
Planned scoring strategy:
```text
final_score = (similarity * 0.6) + (confidence * 0.4)
```
Planned integration shape:
1. Extract recent conversational context from filtered user/final-assistant turns.
2. Compute TF-IDF cosine similarity between each fact and current context.
3. Rank by weighted score and inject under token budget.
4. Fall back to confidence-only ranking if context is unavailable.
## Validation
Current regression coverage includes:
- facts inclusion in memory injection output
- confidence ordering
- token-budget-limited fact inclusion
Tests:
- `backend/tests/test_memory_prompt_injection.py`

# Memory System Improvements - Summary
## Sync Note (2026-03-10)
This summary is synchronized with the `main` branch implementation.
TF-IDF/context-aware retrieval is **planned**, not merged yet.
## Implemented
- Accurate token counting with `tiktoken` in memory injection.
- Facts are injected into `<memory>` prompt content.
- Facts are ordered by confidence and bounded by `max_injection_tokens`.
## Planned (Not Yet Merged)
- TF-IDF cosine similarity recall based on recent conversation context.
- `current_context` parameter for `format_memory_for_injection`.
- Weighted ranking (`similarity` + `confidence`).
- Runtime extraction/injection flow for context-aware fact selection.
## Why This Sync Was Needed
Earlier docs described TF-IDF behavior as already implemented, which did not match code in `main`.
This mismatch is tracked in issue `#1059`.
## Current API Shape
```python
def format_memory_for_injection(memory_data: dict[str, Any], max_tokens: int = 2000) -> str:
```
No `current_context` argument is currently available in `main`.
## Verification Pointers

# Memory Settings Review
Use this when reviewing the Memory Settings add/edit flow locally with the fewest possible manual steps.
## Quick Review
1. Start DeerFlow locally using any working development setup you already use.
Examples:
```bash
make dev
```
or
```bash
make docker-start
```
If you already have DeerFlow running locally, you can reuse that existing setup.
2. Load the sample memory fixture.
```bash
python scripts/load_memory_sample.py
```
3. Open `Settings > Memory`.
Default local URLs:
- App: `http://localhost:2026`
- Local frontend-only fallback: `http://localhost:3000`
## Minimal Manual Test
1. Click `Add fact`.
2. Create a new fact with:
- Content: `Reviewer-added memory fact`
- Category: `testing`
- Confidence: `0.88`
3. Confirm the new fact appears immediately and shows `Manual` as the source.
4. Edit the sample fact `This sample fact is intended for edit testing.` and change it to:
- Content: `This sample fact was edited during manual review.`
- Category: `testing`
- Confidence: `0.91`
5. Confirm the edited fact updates immediately.
6. Refresh the page and confirm both the newly added fact and the edited fact still persist.
## Optional Sanity Checks
- Search `Reviewer-added` and confirm the new fact is matched.
- Search `workflow` and confirm category text is searchable.
- Switch between `All`, `Facts`, and `Summaries`.
- Delete the disposable sample fact `Delete fact testing can target this disposable sample entry.` and confirm the list updates immediately.
- Clear all memory and confirm the page enters the empty state.
## Fixture Files
- Sample fixture: `backend/docs/memory-settings-sample.json`
- Default local runtime target: `backend/.deer-flow/memory.json`
The loader script creates a timestamped backup automatically before overwriting an existing runtime memory file.

# 文件路径使用示例
## 三种路径类型
DeerFlow 的文件上传系统返回三种不同的路径,每种路径用于不同的场景:
### 1. 实际文件系统路径 (path)
```
.deer-flow/threads/{thread_id}/user-data/uploads/document.pdf
```
**用途:**
- 文件在服务器文件系统中的实际位置
- 相对于 `backend/` 目录
- 用于直接文件系统访问、备份、调试等
**示例:**
```python
# Python 代码中直接访问
from pathlib import Path
file_path = Path("backend/.deer-flow/threads/abc123/user-data/uploads/document.pdf")
content = file_path.read_bytes()
```
### 2. 虚拟路径 (virtual_path)
```
/mnt/user-data/uploads/document.pdf
```
**用途:**
- Agent 在沙箱环境中使用的路径
- 沙箱系统会自动映射到实际路径
- Agent 的所有文件操作工具都使用这个路径
**示例:**
Agent 在对话中使用:
```python
# Agent 使用 read_file 工具
read_file(path="/mnt/user-data/uploads/document.pdf")
# Agent 使用 bash 工具
bash(command="cat /mnt/user-data/uploads/document.pdf")
```
### 3. HTTP 访问 URL (artifact_url)
```
/api/threads/{thread_id}/artifacts/mnt/user-data/uploads/document.pdf
```
**用途:**
- 前端通过 HTTP 访问文件
- 用于下载、预览文件
- 可以直接在浏览器中打开
**示例:**
```typescript
// 前端 TypeScript/JavaScript 代码
const threadId = 'abc123';
const filename = 'document.pdf';
// 下载文件
const downloadUrl = `/api/threads/${threadId}/artifacts/mnt/user-data/uploads/${filename}?download=true`;
window.open(downloadUrl);
// 在新窗口预览
const viewUrl = `/api/threads/${threadId}/artifacts/mnt/user-data/uploads/${filename}`;
window.open(viewUrl, '_blank');
// 使用 fetch API 获取
const response = await fetch(viewUrl);
const blob = await response.blob();
```
## 完整使用流程示例
### 场景:前端上传文件并让 Agent 处理
```typescript
// 1. 前端上传文件
async function uploadAndProcess(threadId: string, file: File) {
// 上传文件
const formData = new FormData();
formData.append('files', file);
const uploadResponse = await fetch(
`/api/threads/${threadId}/uploads`,
{
method: 'POST',
body: formData
}
);
const uploadData = await uploadResponse.json();
const fileInfo = uploadData.files[0];
console.log('文件信息:', fileInfo);
// {
// filename: "report.pdf",
// path: ".deer-flow/threads/abc123/user-data/uploads/report.pdf",
// virtual_path: "/mnt/user-data/uploads/report.pdf",
// artifact_url: "/api/threads/abc123/artifacts/mnt/user-data/uploads/report.pdf",
// markdown_file: "report.md",
// markdown_path: ".deer-flow/threads/abc123/user-data/uploads/report.md",
// markdown_virtual_path: "/mnt/user-data/uploads/report.md",
// markdown_artifact_url: "/api/threads/abc123/artifacts/mnt/user-data/uploads/report.md"
// }
// 2. 发送消息给 Agent
await sendMessage(threadId, "请分析刚上传的 PDF 文件");
// Agent 会自动看到文件列表,包含:
// - report.pdf (虚拟路径: /mnt/user-data/uploads/report.pdf)
// - report.md (虚拟路径: /mnt/user-data/uploads/report.md)
// 3. 前端可以直接访问转换后的 Markdown
const mdResponse = await fetch(fileInfo.markdown_artifact_url);
const markdownContent = await mdResponse.text();
console.log('Markdown 内容:', markdownContent);
// 4. 或者下载原始 PDF
const downloadLink = document.createElement('a');
downloadLink.href = fileInfo.artifact_url + '?download=true';
downloadLink.download = fileInfo.filename;
downloadLink.click();
}
```
## 路径转换表
| 场景 | 使用的路径类型 | 示例 |
|------|---------------|------|
| 服务器后端代码直接访问 | `path` | `.deer-flow/threads/abc123/user-data/uploads/file.pdf` |
| Agent 工具调用 | `virtual_path` | `/mnt/user-data/uploads/file.pdf` |
| 前端下载/预览 | `artifact_url` | `/api/threads/abc123/artifacts/mnt/user-data/uploads/file.pdf` |
| 备份脚本 | `path` | `.deer-flow/threads/abc123/user-data/uploads/file.pdf` |
| 日志记录 | `path` | `.deer-flow/threads/abc123/user-data/uploads/file.pdf` |
## 代码示例集合
### Python - 后端处理
```python
from pathlib import Path
from deerflow.agents.middlewares.thread_data_middleware import THREAD_DATA_BASE_DIR
def process_uploaded_file(thread_id: str, filename: str):
# 使用实际路径
base_dir = Path.cwd() / THREAD_DATA_BASE_DIR / thread_id / "user-data" / "uploads"
file_path = base_dir / filename
# 直接读取
with open(file_path, 'rb') as f:
content = f.read()
return content
```
### JavaScript - 前端访问
```javascript
// 列出已上传的文件
async function listUploadedFiles(threadId) {
const response = await fetch(`/api/threads/${threadId}/uploads/list`);
const data = await response.json();
// 为每个文件创建下载链接
data.files.forEach(file => {
console.log(`文件: ${file.filename}`);
console.log(`下载: ${file.artifact_url}?download=true`);
console.log(`预览: ${file.artifact_url}`);
// 如果是文档,还有 Markdown 版本
if (file.markdown_artifact_url) {
console.log(`Markdown: ${file.markdown_artifact_url}`);
}
});
return data.files;
}
// 删除文件
async function deleteFile(threadId, filename) {
const response = await fetch(
`/api/threads/${threadId}/uploads/${filename}`,
{ method: 'DELETE' }
);
return response.json();
}
```
### React 组件示例
```tsx
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
interface UploadedFile {
filename: string;
size: number;
path: string;
virtual_path: string;
artifact_url: string;
extension: string;
modified: number;
markdown_artifact_url?: string;
}
function FileUploadList({ threadId }: { threadId: string }) {
const [files, setFiles] = useState<UploadedFile[]>([]);
useEffect(() => {
fetchFiles();
}, [threadId]);
async function fetchFiles() {
const response = await fetch(`/api/threads/${threadId}/uploads/list`);
const data = await response.json();
setFiles(data.files);
}
async function handleUpload(event: React.ChangeEvent<HTMLInputElement>) {
const fileList = event.target.files;
if (!fileList) return;
const formData = new FormData();
Array.from(fileList).forEach(file => {
formData.append('files', file);
});
await fetch(`/api/threads/${threadId}/uploads`, {
method: 'POST',
body: formData
});
fetchFiles(); // 刷新列表
}
async function handleDelete(filename: string) {
await fetch(`/api/threads/${threadId}/uploads/${filename}`, {
method: 'DELETE'
});
fetchFiles(); // 刷新列表
}
return (
<div>
<input type="file" multiple onChange={handleUpload} />
<ul>
{files.map(file => (
<li key={file.filename}>
<span>{file.filename}</span>
<a href={file.artifact_url} target="_blank">预览</a>
<a href={`${file.artifact_url}?download=true`}>下载</a>
{file.markdown_artifact_url && (
<a href={file.markdown_artifact_url} target="_blank">Markdown</a>
)}
<button onClick={() => handleDelete(file.filename)}>删除</button>
</li>
))}
</ul>
</div>
);
}
```
## 注意事项
1. **路径安全性**
- 实际路径(`path`)包含线程 ID,确保隔离
- API 会验证路径,防止目录遍历攻击
- 前端不应直接使用 `path`,而应使用 `artifact_url`
2. **Agent 使用**
- Agent 只能看到和使用 `virtual_path`
- 沙箱系统自动映射到实际路径
- Agent 不需要知道实际的文件系统结构
3. **前端集成**
- 始终使用 `artifact_url` 访问文件
- 不要尝试直接访问文件系统路径
- 使用 `?download=true` 参数强制下载
4. **Markdown 转换**
- 转换成功时,会返回额外的 `markdown_*` 字段
- 建议优先使用 Markdown 版本(更易处理)
- 原始文件始终保留

# Setup Guide
Quick setup instructions for DeerFlow.
## Configuration Setup
DeerFlow uses a YAML configuration file that should be placed in the **project root directory**.
### Steps
1. **Navigate to project root**:
```bash
cd /path/to/deer-flow
```
2. **Copy example configuration**:
```bash
cp config.example.yaml config.yaml
```
3. **Edit configuration**:
```bash
# Option A: Set environment variables (recommended)
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key-here"
# Optional: pin the project root when running from another directory
export DEER_FLOW_PROJECT_ROOT="/path/to/deer-flow"
# Option B: Edit config.yaml directly
vim config.yaml # or your preferred editor
```
4. **Verify configuration**:
```bash
cd backend
python -c "from deerflow.config import get_app_config; print('✓ Config loaded:', get_app_config().models[0].name)"
```
## Important Notes
- **Location**: `config.yaml` should be in `deer-flow/` (project root)
- **Git**: `config.yaml` is automatically ignored by git (contains secrets)
- **Runtime root**: Set `DEER_FLOW_PROJECT_ROOT` if DeerFlow may start from outside the project root
- **Runtime data**: State defaults to `.deer-flow` under the project root; set `DEER_FLOW_HOME` to move it
- **Skills**: Skills default to `skills/` under the project root; set `DEER_FLOW_SKILLS_PATH` or `skills.path` to move them
## Configuration File Locations
The backend searches for `config.yaml` in this order:
1. Explicit `config_path` argument from code
2. `DEER_FLOW_CONFIG_PATH` environment variable (if set)
3. `config.yaml` under `DEER_FLOW_PROJECT_ROOT`, or the current working directory when `DEER_FLOW_PROJECT_ROOT` is unset
4. Legacy backend/repository-root locations for monorepo compatibility
**Recommended**: Place `config.yaml` in project root (`deer-flow/config.yaml`).
## Sandbox Setup (Optional but Recommended)
If you plan to use Docker/Container-based sandbox (configured in `config.yaml` under `sandbox.use: deerflow.community.aio_sandbox:AioSandboxProvider`), it's highly recommended to pre-pull the container image:
```bash
# From project root
make setup-sandbox
```
**Why pre-pull?**
- The sandbox image (~500MB+) is pulled on first use, causing a long wait
- Pre-pulling provides clear progress indication
- Avoids confusion when first using the agent
If you skip this step, the image will be automatically pulled on first agent execution, which may take several minutes depending on your network speed.
## Troubleshooting
### Config file not found
```bash
# Check where the backend is looking
cd deer-flow/backend
python -c "from deerflow.config.app_config import AppConfig; print(AppConfig.resolve_config_path())"
```
If it can't find the config:
1. Ensure you've copied `config.example.yaml` to `config.yaml`
2. Verify you're in the project root, or set `DEER_FLOW_PROJECT_ROOT`
3. Check the file exists: `ls -la config.yaml`
### Permission denied
```bash
chmod 600 ../config.yaml # Protect sensitive configuration
```

本文档解释 DeerFlow 是如何把 LangGraph agent 的事件流端到端送到两类消费者(HTTP 客户端、嵌入式 Python 调用方)的:两条路径为什么**必须**并存、它们各自的契约是什么、以及设计里那些 non-obvious 的不变式。
---
## TL;DR
- DeerFlow 有**两条并行**的流式路径:**Gateway 路径**(async / HTTP SSE / JSON 序列化)服务浏览器和 IM 渠道;**DeerFlowClient 路径**(sync / in-process / 原生 LangChain 对象)服务 Jupyter、脚本、测试。它们**无法合并**——消费者模型不同。
- 两条路径都从 `create_agent()` 工厂出发,核心都是订阅 LangGraph 的 `stream_mode=["values", "messages", "custom"]`。`values` 是节点级 state 快照,`messages` 是 LLM token 级 delta,`custom` 是显式 `StreamWriter` 事件。**这三种模式不是详细程度的梯度,是三个独立的事件源**,要 token 流就必须显式订阅 `messages`。
- 嵌入式 client 为每个 `stream()` 调用维护三个 `set[str]`:`seen_ids` / `streamed_ids` / `counted_usage_ids`。三者看起来相似但管理**三个独立的不变式**,不能合并。
---
## 为什么有两条流式路径
两条路径服务的消费者模型根本不同:
| 维度 | Gateway 路径 | DeerFlowClient 路径 |
|---|---|---|
| 入口 | FastAPI `/runs/stream` endpoint | `DeerFlowClient.stream(message)` |
| 触发层 | `runtime/runs/worker.py::run_agent` | `packages/harness/deerflow/client.py::DeerFlowClient.stream` |
| 执行模型 | `async def` + `agent.astream()` | sync generator + `agent.stream()` |
| 事件传输 | `StreamBridge`(asyncio Queue)+ `sse_consumer` | 直接 `yield` |
| 序列化 | `serialize(chunk)` → 纯 JSON dict,匹配 LangGraph Platform wire 格式 | `StreamEvent.data`,携带原生 LangChain 对象 |
| 消费者 | 前端 `useStream` React hook、飞书/Slack/Telegram channel、LangGraph SDK 客户端 | Jupyter notebook、集成测试、内部 Python 脚本 |
| 生命周期管理 | `RunManager`:run_id 跟踪、disconnect 语义、multitask 策略、heartbeat | 无;函数返回即结束 |
| 断连恢复 | `Last-Event-ID` SSE 重连 | 无需要 |
**两条路径的存在是 DRY 的刻意妥协**:Gateway 的全部基础设施(async + Queue + JSON + RunManager)**都是为了跨网络边界把事件送给 HTTP 消费者**。当生产者(agent)和消费者(Python 调用栈)在同一个进程时,这整套东西都是纯开销。
### 为什么不能让 DeerFlowClient 复用 Gateway
曾经考虑过三种复用方案,都被否决:
1. **让 `client.stream()` 变成 `async def client.astream()`**
breaking change。用户用不上的 `async for` / `asyncio.run()` 要硬塞进 Jupyter notebook 和同步脚本。DeerFlowClient 的一大卖点("把 agent 当普通函数调用")直接消失。
2. **在 `client.stream()` 内部起一个独立事件循环线程,用 `StreamBridge` 在 sync/async 之间做桥接**
引入线程池、队列、信号量。为了"消除重复",把**复杂度**代替代码行数引进来。是典型的"wrong abstraction"——开销高于复用收益。
3. **让 `run_agent` 自己兼容 sync mode**
给 Gateway 加一条用不到的死分支,污染 worker.py 的焦点。
所以两条路径的事件处理逻辑会**相似但不共享**。这是刻意设计,不是疏忽。

## LangGraph `stream_mode` 三层语义
LangGraph 的 `agent.stream(stream_mode=[...])` 是**多路复用**接口:一次订阅多个 mode,每个 mode 是一个独立的事件源。三种核心 mode:

| `messages` | LLM 每次 yield 一个 chunk;tool 节点完成时 | `(AIMessageChunk \| ToolMessage, metadata_dict)` | token 级 |
| `custom` | 用户代码显式调用 `StreamWriter.write()` | 任意 dict | 应用定义 |
### 两套命名的由来
同一件事在**三个协议层**有三个名字:
```
Application HTTP / SSE LangGraph Graph
┌──────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐ ┌──────────────┐
│ frontend │ │ LangGraph │ │ agent.astream│
│ useStream │──"messages- │ Platform SDK │──"messages"──│ graph.astream│
│ Feishu IM │ tuple"──────│ HTTP wire │ │ │
└──────────────┘ └──────────────┘ └──────────────┘
```
- **Graph 层**(`agent.stream` / `agent.astream`):LangGraph Python 直接 API,mode 叫 **`"messages"`**。
- **Platform SDK 层**(`langgraph-sdk` HTTP client):跨进程 HTTP 契约,mode 叫 **`"messages-tuple"`**。
- **Gateway worker** 显式做翻译:`if m == "messages-tuple": lg_modes.append("messages")`(`runtime/runs/worker.py:117-121`)。
**后果**:`DeerFlowClient.stream()` 直接调 `agent.stream()`(Graph 层),所以必须传 `"messages"`。`app/channels/manager.py` 通过 `langgraph-sdk` 走 HTTP SDK,所以传 `"messages-tuple"`。**这两个字符串不能互相替代**,也不能抽成"一个共享常量"——它们是不同协议层的 type alias,共享只会让某一层说不是它母语的话。

## Gateway 路径:async + HTTP SSE
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant Client as HTTP Client
participant API as FastAPI<br/>thread_runs.py
participant Svc as services.py<br/>start_run
participant Worker as worker.py<br/>run_agent (async)
participant Bridge as StreamBridge<br/>(asyncio.Queue)
participant Agent as LangGraph<br/>agent.astream
participant SSE as sse_consumer
Client->>API: POST /runs/stream
API->>Svc: start_run(body)
Svc->>Bridge: create bridge
Svc->>Worker: asyncio.create_task(run_agent(...))
Svc-->>API: StreamingResponse(sse_consumer)
API-->>Client: event-stream opens
par worker (producer)
Worker->>Agent: astream(stream_mode=lg_modes)
loop 每个 chunk
Agent-->>Worker: (mode, chunk)
Worker->>Bridge: publish(run_id, event, serialize(chunk))
end
Worker->>Bridge: publish_end(run_id)
and sse_consumer (consumer)
SSE->>Bridge: subscribe(run_id)
loop 每个 event
Bridge-->>SSE: StreamEvent
SSE-->>Client: "event: <name>\ndata: <json>\n\n"
end
end
```
关键组件:
- `runtime/runs/worker.py::run_agent` — 在 `asyncio.Task` 里跑 `agent.astream()`,把每个 chunk 通过 `serialize(chunk, mode=mode)` 转成 JSON,再 `bridge.publish()`。
- `runtime/stream_bridge` — 抽象 Queue。`publish/subscribe` 解耦生产者和消费者,支持 `Last-Event-ID` 重连、心跳、多订阅者 fan-out。
- `app/gateway/services.py::sse_consumer` — 从 bridge 订阅,格式化为 SSE wire 帧。
- `runtime/serialization.py::serialize` — mode-aware 序列化;`messages` mode 下 `serialize_messages_tuple` 把 `(chunk, metadata)` 转成 `[chunk.model_dump(), metadata]`。
**`StreamBridge` 的存在价值**:当生产者(`run_agent` 任务)和消费者(HTTP 连接)在不同的 asyncio task 里运行时,需要一个可以跨 task 传递事件的中介。Queue 同时还承担断连重连的 buffer 和多订阅者的 fan-out。
---
## DeerFlowClient 路径:sync + in-process
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant User as Python caller
participant Client as DeerFlowClient.stream
participant Agent as LangGraph<br/>agent.stream (sync)
User->>Client: for event in client.stream("hi"):
Client->>Agent: stream(stream_mode=["values","messages","custom"])
loop 每个 chunk
Agent-->>Client: (mode, chunk)
Client->>Client: 分发 mode<br/>构建 StreamEvent
Client-->>User: yield StreamEvent
end
Client-->>User: yield StreamEvent(type="end")
```
对比之下,sync 路径的每个环节都是显著更少的移动部件:
- 没有 `RunManager` —— 一次 `stream()` 调用对应一次生命周期,无需 run_id。
- 没有 `StreamBridge` —— 直接 `yield`,生产和消费在同一个 Python 调用栈,不需要跨 task 中介。
- 没有 JSON 序列化 —— `StreamEvent.data` 直接装原生 LangChain 对象(`AIMessage.content`、`usage_metadata` 的 `UsageMetadata` TypedDict)。Jupyter 用户拿到的是真正的类型,不是匿名 dict。
- 没有 asyncio —— 调用者可以直接 `for event in ...`,不必写 `async for`。
---
## 消费语义:delta vs cumulative
LangGraph `messages` mode 给出的是 **delta**:每个 `AIMessageChunk.content` 只包含这一次新 yield 的 token,**不是**从头的累计文本。
这个语义和 LangChain 的 `fs2 Stream` 风格一致:**上游发增量,下游负责累加**。Gateway 路径里前端 `useStream` React hook 自己维护累加器;DeerFlowClient 路径里 `chat()` 方法替调用者做累加。
### `DeerFlowClient.chat()` 的 O(n) 累加器
```python
chunks: dict[str, list[str]] = {}
last_id: str = ""
for event in self.stream(message, thread_id=thread_id, **kwargs):
if event.type == "messages-tuple" and event.data.get("type") == "ai":
msg_id = event.data.get("id") or ""
delta = event.data.get("content", "")
if delta:
chunks.setdefault(msg_id, []).append(delta)
last_id = msg_id
return "".join(chunks.get(last_id, ()))
```
**为什么不是 `buffers[id] = buffers.get(id,"") + delta`**:CPython 的字符串 in-place concat 优化仅在 refcount=1 且 LHS 是 local name 时生效;这里字符串存在 dict 里被 reassign,优化失效,每次都是 O(n) 拷贝 → 总体 O(n²)。实测 50 KB / 5000 chunk 的回复要 100-300ms 纯拷贝开销。用 `list` + `"".join()` 是 O(n)。
---
## 三个 id set 为什么不能合并
`DeerFlowClient.stream()` 在一次调用生命周期内维护三个 `set[str]`:
```python
seen_ids: set[str] = set() # values 路径内部 dedup
streamed_ids: set[str] = set() # messages → values 跨模式 dedup
counted_usage_ids: set[str] = set() # usage_metadata 幂等计数
```
乍看像是"三份几乎一样的东西",实际每个管**不同的不变式**。
| Set | 负责的不变式 | 被谁填充 | 被谁查询 |
|---|---|---|---|
| `seen_ids` | 连续两个 `values` 快照里同一条 message 只生成一个 `messages-tuple` 事件 | values 分支每处理一条消息就加入 | values 分支处理下一条消息前检查 |
| `streamed_ids` | 如果一条消息已经通过 `messages` 模式 token 级流过,values 快照到达时**不要**再合成一次完整 `messages-tuple` | messages 分支每发一个 AI/tool 事件就加入 | values 分支看到消息时检查 |
| `counted_usage_ids` | 同一个 `usage_metadata` 在 messages 末尾 chunk 和 values 快照的 final AIMessage 里各带一份,**累计总量只算一次** | `_account_usage()` 每次接受 usage 就加入 | `_account_usage()` 每次调用时检查 |
### 为什么不能只用一个 set
关键观察:**同一个 message id 在这三个 set 里的加入时机不同**。
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant M as messages mode
participant V as values mode
participant SS as streamed_ids
participant SU as counted_usage_ids
participant SE as seen_ids
Note over M: 第一个 AI text chunk 到达
M->>SS: add(msg_id)
Note over M: 最后一个 chunk 带 usage
M->>SU: add(msg_id)
Note over V: snapshot 到达,包含同一条 AI message
V->>SE: add(msg_id)
V->>SS: 查询 → 已存在,跳过文本合成
V->>SU: 查询 → 已存在,不重复计数
```
- `seen_ids` **永远在 values 快照到达时**加入,所以它是 "values 已处理" 的标记。一条只出现在 messages 流里的消息(罕见但可能),`seen_ids` 里永远没有它。
- `streamed_ids` **在 messages 流的第一个有效事件时**加入。一条只通过 values 快照到达的非 AI 消息(HumanMessage、被 truncate 的 tool 消息),`streamed_ids` 里永远没有它。
- `counted_usage_ids` **只在看到非空 `usage_metadata` 时**加入。一条完全没有 usage 的消息(tool message、错误消息)永远不会进去。
**集合包含关系**:`counted_usage_ids ⊆ (streamed_ids ∪ seen_ids)` 大致成立,但**不是严格子集**,因为一条消息可以在 messages 模式流完 text 但**在最后那个带 usage 的 chunk 之前**就被 values snapshot 赶上——此时它已经在 `streamed_ids` 里,但还不在 `counted_usage_ids` 里。把它们合并成一个 dict-of-flags 会让这个微妙的时序依赖**从类型系统里消失**,变成注释里的一句话。三个独立的 set 把不变式显式化了:每个 set 名对应一个可以口头回答的问题。
---
## 端到端:一次真实对话的事件时序
假设调用 `client.stream("Count from 1 to 15")`,LLM 给出 "one\ntwo\n...\nfifteen"(88 字符),tokenizer 把它拆成 ~35 个 BPE chunk。下面是事件到达序列的精简版:
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant U as User
participant C as DeerFlowClient
participant A as LangGraph<br/>agent.stream
U->>C: stream("Count ... 15")
C->>A: stream(mode=["values","messages","custom"])
A-->>C: ("values", {messages: [HumanMessage]})
C-->>U: StreamEvent(type="values", ...)
Note over A,C: LLM 开始 yield token
loop 35 次,约 476ms
A-->>C: ("messages", (AIMessageChunk(content="ele"), meta))
C->>C: streamed_ids.add(ai-1)
C-->>U: StreamEvent(type="messages-tuple",<br/>data={type:ai, content:"ele", id:ai-1})
end
Note over A: LLM finish_reason=stop,最后一个 chunk 带 usage
A-->>C: ("messages", (AIMessageChunk(content="", usage_metadata={...}), meta))
C->>C: counted_usage_ids.add(ai-1)<br/>(无文本,不 yield)
A-->>C: ("values", {messages: [..., AIMessage(complete)]})
C->>C: ai-1 in streamed_ids → 跳过合成
C->>C: 捕获 usage (已在 counted_usage_ids,no-op)
C-->>U: StreamEvent(type="values", ...)
C-->>U: StreamEvent(type="end", data={usage:{...}})
```
关键观察:
1. 用户看到 **35 个 messages-tuple 事件**,跨越约 476ms,每个事件带一个 token delta 和同一个 `id=ai-1`。
2. 最后一个 `values` 快照里的 `AIMessage` **不会**再触发一个完整的 `messages-tuple` 事件——因为 `ai-1 in streamed_ids` 跳过了合成。
3. `end` 事件里的 `usage` 正好等于那一份 cumulative usage,**不是它的两倍**——`counted_usage_ids` 在 messages 末尾 chunk 上已经吸收了,values 分支的重复访问是 no-op。
4. 消费者拿到的 `content` 是**增量**:"ele" 只包含 3 个字符,不是 "one\ntwo\n...ele"。想要完整文本要按 `id` 累加,`chat()` 已经帮你做了。
---
## 为什么这个设计容易出 bug,以及测试策略
本文档的直接起因是 bytedance/deer-flow#1969:`DeerFlowClient.stream()` 原本只订阅 `["values", "custom"]`,**漏了 `"messages"`**。结果 `client.stream("hello")` 等价于一次性返回,视觉上和 `chat()` 没区别。
这类 bug 有三个结构性原因:
1. **多协议层命名**:`messages` / `messages-tuple` / HTTP SSE `messages` 是同一概念的三个名字。在其中一层出错不会在另外两层报错。
2. **多消费者模型**:Gateway 和 DeerFlowClient 是两套独立实现,**没有单一的"订阅哪些 mode"的 single source of truth**。前者订阅对了不代表后者也订阅对了。
3. **mock 测试绕开了真实路径**:老测试用 `agent.stream.return_value = iter([dict_chunk, ...])` 喂 values 形状的 dict 模拟 state 快照。这样构造的输入**永远不会进入 `messages` mode 分支**,所以即使 `stream_mode` 里少一个元素,CI 依然全绿。
### 防御手段
真正的防线是**显式断言 "messages" mode 被订阅 + 用真实 chunk shape mock**:
```python
# tests/test_client.py::test_messages_mode_emits_token_deltas
agent.stream.return_value = iter([
("messages", (AIMessageChunk(content="Hel", id="ai-1"), {})),
("messages", (AIMessageChunk(content="lo ", id="ai-1"), {})),
("messages", (AIMessageChunk(content="world!", id="ai-1"), {})),
("values", {"messages": [HumanMessage(...), AIMessage(content="Hello world!", id="ai-1")]}),
])
# ...
assert [e.data["content"] for e in ai_text_events] == ["Hel", "lo ", "world!"]
assert len(ai_text_events) == 3 # values snapshot must NOT re-synthesize
assert "messages" in agent.stream.call_args.kwargs["stream_mode"]
```
**为什么这比"抽一个共享常量"更有效**:共享常量只能保证"用它的人写对字符串",但新增消费者的人可能根本不知道常量在哪。行为断言强制任何改动都要穿过**实际执行路径**,改回 `["values", "custom"]` 会立刻让 `assert "messages" in ...` 失败。
### 活体信号:BPE 子词边界
回归的最终验证是让真实 LLM 数 1-15,然后看是否能在输出里看到 tokenizer 的子词切分:
```
[5.460s] 'ele' / 'ven' eleven 被拆成两个 token
[5.508s] 'tw' / 'elve' twelve 拆两个
[5.568s] 'th' / 'irteen' thirteen 拆两个
[5.623s] 'four'/ 'teen' fourteen 拆两个
[5.677s] 'f' / 'if' / 'teen' fifteen 拆三个
```
子词切分是 tokenizer 的外部事实,**无法伪造**。能看到它就说明数据流**逐 chunk** 地穿过了整条管道,没有被任何中间层缓冲成整段。这种"活体信号"在流式系统里是比单元测试更高置信度的证据。

LangGraph `messages` mode 给出的是 **delta**:每个 `AIMessageChunk.content` 只包含这一次新 yield 的 token,**不是**从头的累计文本。
这个语义和 LangChain 的 `fs2 Stream` 风格一致:**上游发增量,下游负责累加**。Gateway 路径里前端 `useStream` React hook 自己维护累加器;DeerFlowClient 路径里 `chat()` 方法替调用者做累加。
### `DeerFlowClient.chat()` 的 O(n) 累加器
```python
chunks: dict[str, list[str]] = {}
last_id: str = ""
for event in self.stream(message, thread_id=thread_id, **kwargs):
if event.type == "messages-tuple" and event.data.get("type") == "ai":
msg_id = event.data.get("id") or ""
delta = event.data.get("content", "")
if delta:
chunks.setdefault(msg_id, []).append(delta)
last_id = msg_id
return "".join(chunks.get(last_id, ()))
```
**为什么不是 `buffers[id] = buffers.get(id,"") + delta`**:CPython 的字符串 in-place concat 优化仅在 refcount=1 且 LHS 是 local name 时生效;这里字符串存在 dict 里被 reassign,优化失效,每次都是 O(n) 拷贝 → 总体 O(n²)。实测 50 KB / 5000 chunk 的回复要 100-300ms 纯拷贝开销。用 `list` + `"".join()` 是 O(n)。
---
## 三个 id set 为什么不能合并
`DeerFlowClient.stream()` 在一次调用生命周期内维护三个 `set[str]`:
```python
seen_ids: set[str] = set() # values 路径内部 dedup
streamed_ids: set[str] = set() # messages → values 跨模式 dedup
counted_usage_ids: set[str] = set() # usage_metadata 幂等计数
```
乍看像是"三份几乎一样的东西",实际每个管**不同的不变式**。
| Set | 负责的不变式 | 被谁填充 | 被谁查询 |
|---|---|---|---|
| `seen_ids` | 连续两个 `values` 快照里同一条 message 只生成一个 `messages-tuple` 事件 | values 分支每处理一条消息就加入 | values 分支处理下一条消息前检查 |
| `streamed_ids` | 如果一条消息已经通过 `messages` 模式 token 级流过,values 快照到达时**不要**再合成一次完整 `messages-tuple` | messages 分支每发一个 AI/tool 事件就加入 | values 分支看到消息时检查 |
| `counted_usage_ids` | 同一个 `usage_metadata` 在 messages 末尾 chunk 和 values 快照的 final AIMessage 里各带一份,**累计总量只算一次** | `_account_usage()` 每次接受 usage 就加入 | `_account_usage()` 每次调用时检查 |
### 为什么不能只用一个 set
关键观察:**同一个 message id 在这三个 set 里的加入时机不同**。
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant M as messages mode
participant V as values mode
participant SS as streamed_ids
participant SU as counted_usage_ids
participant SE as seen_ids
Note over M: 第一个 AI text chunk 到达
M->>SS: add(msg_id)
Note over M: 最后一个 chunk 带 usage
M->>SU: add(msg_id)
Note over V: snapshot 到达,包含同一条 AI message
V->>SE: add(msg_id)
V->>SS: 查询 → 已存在,跳过文本合成
V->>SU: 查询 → 已存在,不重复计数
```
- `seen_ids` **永远在 values 快照到达时**加入,所以它是 "values 已处理" 的标记。一条只出现在 messages 流里的消息(罕见但可能),`seen_ids` 里永远没有它。
- `streamed_ids` **在 messages 流的第一个有效事件时**加入。一条只通过 values 快照到达的非 AI 消息(HumanMessage、被 truncate 的 tool 消息),`streamed_ids` 里永远没有它。
- `counted_usage_ids` **只在看到非空 `usage_metadata` 时**加入。一条完全没有 usage 的消息(tool message、错误消息)永远不会进去。
**集合包含关系**:`counted_usage_ids ⊆ (streamed_ids ∪ seen_ids)` 大致成立,但**不是严格子集**,因为一条消息可以在 messages 模式流完 text 但**在最后那个带 usage 的 chunk 之前**就被 values snapshot 赶上——此时它已经在 `streamed_ids` 里,但还不在 `counted_usage_ids` 里。把它们合并成一个 dict-of-flags 会让这个微妙的时序依赖**从类型系统里消失**,变成注释里的一句话。三个独立的 set 把不变式显式化了:每个 set 名对应一个可以口头回答的问题。
---
## 端到端:一次真实对话的事件时序
假设调用 `client.stream("Count from 1 to 15")`,LLM 给出 "one\ntwo\n...\nfifteen"(88 字符),tokenizer 把它拆成 ~35 个 BPE chunk。下面是事件到达序列的精简版:
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant U as User
participant C as DeerFlowClient
participant A as LangGraph<br/>agent.stream
U->>C: stream("Count ... 15")
C->>A: stream(mode=["values","messages","custom"])
A-->>C: ("values", {messages: [HumanMessage]})
C-->>U: StreamEvent(type="values", ...)
Note over A,C: LLM 开始 yield token
loop 35 次,约 476ms
A-->>C: ("messages", (AIMessageChunk(content="ele"), meta))
C->>C: streamed_ids.add(ai-1)
C-->>U: StreamEvent(type="messages-tuple",<br/>data={type:ai, content:"ele", id:ai-1})
end
Note over A: LLM finish_reason=stop,最后一个 chunk 带 usage
A-->>C: ("messages", (AIMessageChunk(content="", usage_metadata={...}), meta))
C->>C: counted_usage_ids.add(ai-1)<br/>(无文本,不 yield)
A-->>C: ("values", {messages: [..., AIMessage(complete)]})
C->>C: ai-1 in streamed_ids → 跳过合成
C->>C: 捕获 usage (已在 counted_usage_ids,no-op)
C-->>U: StreamEvent(type="values", ...)
C-->>U: StreamEvent(type="end", data={usage:{...}})
```
关键观察:
1. 用户看到 **35 个 messages-tuple 事件**,跨越约 476ms,每个事件带一个 token delta 和同一个 `id=ai-1`。
2. 最后一个 `values` 快照里的 `AIMessage` **不会**再触发一个完整的 `messages-tuple` 事件——因为 `ai-1 in streamed_ids` 跳过了合成。
3. `end` 事件里的 `usage` 正好等于那一份 cumulative usage,**不是它的两倍**——`counted_usage_ids` 在 messages 末尾 chunk 上已经吸收了,values 分支的重复访问是 no-op。
4. 消费者拿到的 `content` 是**增量**:"ele" 只包含 3 个字符,不是 "one\ntwo\n...ele"。想要完整文本要按 `id` 累加,`chat()` 已经帮你做了。
---
## 为什么这个设计容易出 bug,以及测试策略
本文档的直接起因是 bytedance/deer-flow#1969:`DeerFlowClient.stream()` 原本只订阅 `["values", "custom"]`,**漏了 `"messages"`**。结果 `client.stream("hello")` 等价于一次性返回,视觉上和 `chat()` 没区别。
这类 bug 有三个结构性原因:
1. **多协议层命名**:`messages` / `messages-tuple` / HTTP SSE `messages` 是同一概念的三个名字。在其中一层出错不会在另外两层报错。
2. **多消费者模型**:Gateway 和 DeerFlowClient 是两套独立实现,**没有单一的"订阅哪些 mode"的 single source of truth**。前者订阅对了不代表后者也订阅对了。
3. **mock 测试绕开了真实路径**:老测试用 `agent.stream.return_value = iter([dict_chunk, ...])` 喂 values 形状的 dict 模拟 state 快照。这样构造的输入**永远不会进入 `messages` mode 分支**,所以即使 `stream_mode` 里少一个元素,CI 依然全绿。
### 防御手段
真正的防线是**显式断言 "messages" mode 被订阅 + 用真实 chunk shape mock**:
```python
# tests/test_client.py::test_messages_mode_emits_token_deltas
agent.stream.return_value = iter([
("messages", (AIMessageChunk(content="Hel", id="ai-1"), {})),
("messages", (AIMessageChunk(content="lo ", id="ai-1"), {})),
("messages", (AIMessageChunk(content="world!", id="ai-1"), {})),
("values", {"messages": [HumanMessage(...), AIMessage(content="Hello world!", id="ai-1")]}),
])
# ...
assert [e.data["content"] for e in ai_text_events] == ["Hel", "lo ", "world!"]
assert len(ai_text_events) == 3 # values snapshot must NOT re-synthesize
assert "messages" in agent.stream.call_args.kwargs["stream_mode"]
```
**为什么这比"抽一个共享常量"更有效**:共享常量只能保证"用它的人写对字符串",但新增消费者的人可能根本不知道常量在哪。行为断言强制任何改动都要穿过**实际执行路径**,改回 `["values", "custom"]` 会立刻让 `assert "messages" in ...` 失败。
### 活体信号:BPE 子词边界
回归的最终验证是让真实 LLM 数 1-15,然后看是否能在输出里看到 tokenizer 的子词切分:
```
[5.460s] 'ele' / 'ven' eleven 被拆成两个 token
[5.508s] 'tw' / 'elve' twelve 拆两个
[5.568s] 'th' / 'irteen' thirteen 拆两个
[5.623s] 'four'/ 'teen' fourteen 拆两个
[5.677s] 'f' / 'if' / 'teen' fifteen 拆三个
```
子词切分是 tokenizer 的外部事实,**无法伪造**。能看到它就说明数据流**逐 chunk** 地穿过了整条管道,没有被任何中间层缓冲成整段。这种"活体信号"在流式系统里是比单元测试更高置信度的证据。

## 🎯 核心设计决策
### 为什么使用 State 而非 Metadata?
| 方面 | State (✅ 采用) | Metadata (❌ 未采用) |
|------|----------------|---------------------|
| **持久化** | 自动(通过 checkpointer) | 取决于实现,不可靠 |
| **版本控制** | 支持时间旅行 | 不支持 |
| **类型安全** | TypedDict 定义 | 任意字典 |
| **标准化** | LangGraph 核心机制 | 扩展功能 |
### 工作流程
```
用户发送首条消息
↓
Agent 处理并返回回复
↓
TitleMiddleware.after_agent() 触发
↓
检查:是否首次对话?是否已有 title?
↓
调用 LLM 生成 title
↓
返回 {"title": "..."} 更新 state
↓
Checkpointer 自动持久化(如果配置了)
↓
客户端从 state.values.title 读取
```
---
## 📋 使用指南
### 后端配置
1. **启用/禁用功能**
```yaml
# config.yaml
title:
enabled: true # 设为 false 禁用
```
2. **自定义配置**
```yaml
title:
enabled: true
max_words: 8 # 标题最多 8 个词
max_chars: 80 # 标题最多 80 个字符
model_name: null # 使用默认模型
```
3. **配置持久化(可选)**
如果需要在本地开发时持久化 title:
```python
# checkpointer.py
from langgraph.checkpoint.sqlite import SqliteSaver
checkpointer = SqliteSaver.from_conn_string("deerflow.db")
```
```json
// langgraph.json
{
"graphs": {
"lead_agent": "deerflow.agents:lead_agent"
},
"checkpointer": "checkpointer:checkpointer"
}
```
### 客户端使用
```typescript
// 获取 thread title
const state = await client.threads.getState(threadId);
const title = state.values.title || "New Conversation";
// 显示在对话列表
<li>{title}</li>
```
**⚠️ 注意**:Title 在 `state.values.title`,而非 `thread.metadata.title`
---
## 🧪 测试
```bash
# 运行测试
pytest tests/test_title_generation.py -v
# 运行所有测试
pytest
```
---
## 🔍 故障排查
### Title 没有生成?
1. 检查配置:`title.enabled = true`
2. 查看日志:搜索 "Generated thread title"
3. 确认是首次对话(1 个用户消息 + 1 个助手回复)
### Title 生成但看不到?
1. 确认读取位置:`state.values.title`(不是 `thread.metadata.title`)
2. 检查 API 响应是否包含 title
3. 重新获取 state
### Title 重启后丢失?
1. 本地开发需要配置 checkpointer
2. LangGraph Platform 会自动持久化
3. 检查数据库确认 checkpointer 工作正常
---
## 📊 性能影响
- **延迟增加**:约 0.5-1 秒(LLM 调用)
- **并发安全**:在 `after_agent` 中运行,不阻塞主流程
- **资源消耗**:每个 thread 只生成一次
### 优化建议
1. 使用更快的模型(如 `gpt-3.5-turbo`)
2. 减少 `max_words` 和 `max_chars`
3. 调整 prompt 使其更简洁

## 洋葱模型
列表位置决定在洋葱中的层级 — 位置 0 最外层,位置 N 最内层:
```
进入 before_*: [0] → [1] → [2] → ... → [10] → MODEL
退出 after_*: MODEL → [13] → [11] → ... → [6] → [3] → [2] → [0]
↑ 最内层最先执行
```
> [!important] 核心规则
> 列表最后的 middleware,其 `after_model` **最先执行**。
> ClarificationMiddleware 在列表末尾,所以它第一个拦截 model 输出。
## 对比:真正的洋葱 vs DeerFlow 的实际情况
### 真正的洋葱(如 Koa/Express)
每个 middleware 同时负责 before 和 after,形成对称嵌套:
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant U as User
participant A as AuthMiddleware
participant L as LogMiddleware
participant R as RateLimitMiddleware
participant H as Handler
U ->> A: request
activate A
Note right of A: before: 校验 token
A ->> L: next()
activate L
Note right of L: before: 记录请求时间
L ->> R: next()
activate R
Note right of R: before: 检查频率
R ->> H: next()
activate H
H -->> R: result
deactivate H
Note right of R: after: 更新计数器
R -->> L: result
deactivate R
Note right of L: after: 记录耗时
L -->> A: result
deactivate L
Note right of A: after: 清理上下文
A -->> U: response
deactivate A
```
> [!tip] 洋葱特征
> 每个 middleware 都有 before/after 对称操作,`activate` 跨越整个内层执行,形成完美嵌套。
### DeerFlow 的实际情况
不是洋葱,是管道。大部分 middleware 只用一个钩子,不存在对称嵌套。多轮对话时 before_model / after_model 循环执行:
```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant U as User
participant TD as ThreadData
participant UL as Uploads
participant SB as Sandbox
participant VI as ViewImage
participant M as MODEL
participant CL as Clarification
participant SL as SubagentLimit
participant TI as Title
participant SM as Summarization
participant MEM as Memory
U ->> TD: invoke
Note right of TD: before_agent 创建目录
TD ->> UL: .
Note right of UL: before_agent 扫描文件
UL ->> SB: .
Note right of SB: before_agent 获取沙箱
loop 每轮对话(tool call 循环)
SB ->> VI: .

Note right of SM: after_model 上下文压缩
end
Note right of SB: after_agent 释放沙箱
SB -->> MEM: .
Note right of MEM: after_agent 入队记忆
MEM -->> U: response
```
> [!warning] 不是洋葱
> 14 个 middleware 中只有 SandboxMiddleware 有 before/after 对称(获取/释放)。其余都是单向的:要么只在 `before_*` 做事,要么只在 `after_*` 做事。`before_agent` / `after_agent` 只跑一次,`before_model` / `after_model` 每轮循环都跑。
硬依赖只有 2 处:
1. **ThreadData 在 Sandbox 之前** — sandbox 需要线程目录
2. **Clarification 在列表最后** — `after_model` 反序时最先执行,第一个拦截 `ask_clarification`
### 结论
| | 真正的洋葱 | DeerFlow 实际 |
|---|---|---|
| 每个 middleware | before + after 对称 | 大多只用一个钩子 |
| 激活条 | 嵌套(外长内短) | 不嵌套(串行) |
| 反序的意义 | 清理与初始化配对 | 仅影响 after_model 的执行优先级 |
| 典型例子 | Auth: 校验 token / 清理上下文 | ThreadData: 只创建目录,没有清理 |
## 关键设计点
### ClarificationMiddleware 为什么在列表最后?
位置最后 = `after_model` 最先执行。它需要**第一个**看到 model 输出,检查是否有 `ask_clarification` tool call。如果有,立即中断(`Command(goto=END)`),后续 middleware 的 `after_model` 不再执行。
### SandboxMiddleware 的对称性
`before_agent`(正序第 3 个)获取沙箱,`after_agent`(反序第 1 个)释放沙箱。外层进入 → 外层退出,天然的洋葱对称。
### 大部分 middleware 只用一个钩子
14 个 middleware 中,只有 SandboxMiddleware 同时用了 `before_agent` + `after_agent`(获取/释放)。其余都只在一个阶段执行。洋葱模型的反序特性主要影响 `after_model` 阶段的执行顺序。

# Plan Mode with TodoList Middleware
This document describes how to enable and use the Plan Mode feature with TodoList middleware in DeerFlow 2.0.
## Overview
Plan Mode adds a TodoList middleware to the agent, which provides a `write_todos` tool that helps the agent:
- Break down complex tasks into smaller, manageable steps
- Track progress as work progresses
- Provide visibility to users about what's being done
The TodoList middleware is built on LangChain's `TodoListMiddleware`.
## Configuration
### Enabling Plan Mode
Plan mode is controlled via **runtime configuration** through the `is_plan_mode` parameter in the `configurable` section of `RunnableConfig`. This allows you to dynamically enable or disable plan mode on a per-request basis.
```python
from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableConfig
from deerflow.agents.lead_agent.agent import make_lead_agent
# Enable plan mode via runtime configuration
config = RunnableConfig(
configurable={
"thread_id": "example-thread",
"thinking_enabled": True,
"is_plan_mode": True, # Enable plan mode
}
)
# Create agent with plan mode enabled
agent = make_lead_agent(config)
```
### Configuration Options
- **is_plan_mode** (bool): Whether to enable plan mode with TodoList middleware. Default: `False`
- Pass via `config.get("configurable", {}).get("is_plan_mode", False)`
- Can be set dynamically for each agent invocation
- No global configuration needed
## Default Behavior
When plan mode is enabled with default settings, the agent will have access to a `write_todos` tool with the following behavior:
### When to Use TodoList
The agent will use the todo list for:
1. Complex multi-step tasks (3+ distinct steps)
2. Non-trivial tasks requiring careful planning
3. When user explicitly requests a todo list
4. When user provides multiple tasks
### When NOT to Use TodoList
The agent will skip using the todo list for:
1. Single, straightforward tasks
2. Trivial tasks (< 3 steps)
3. Purely conversational or informational requests
### Task States
- **pending**: Task not yet started
- **in_progress**: Currently working on (can have multiple parallel tasks)
- **completed**: Task finished successfully
## Usage Examples
### Basic Usage
```python
from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableConfig
from deerflow.agents.lead_agent.agent import make_lead_agent
# Create agent with plan mode ENABLED
config_with_plan_mode = RunnableConfig(
configurable={
"thread_id": "example-thread",
"thinking_enabled": True,
"is_plan_mode": True, # TodoList middleware will be added
}
)
agent_with_todos = make_lead_agent(config_with_plan_mode)
# Create agent with plan mode DISABLED (default)
config_without_plan_mode = RunnableConfig(
configurable={
"thread_id": "another-thread",
"thinking_enabled": True,
"is_plan_mode": False, # No TodoList middleware
}
)
agent_without_todos = make_lead_agent(config_without_plan_mode)
```
### Dynamic Plan Mode per Request
You can enable/disable plan mode dynamically for different conversations or tasks:
```python
from langchain_core.runnables import RunnableConfig
from deerflow.agents.lead_agent.agent import make_lead_agent
def create_agent_for_task(task_complexity: str):
"""Create agent with plan mode based on task complexity."""
is_complex = task_complexity in ["high", "very_high"]
config = RunnableConfig(
configurable={
"thread_id": f"task-{task_complexity}",
"thinking_enabled": True,
"is_plan_mode": is_complex, # Enable only for complex tasks
}
)
return make_lead_agent(config)
# Simple task - no TodoList needed
simple_agent = create_agent_for_task("low")
# Complex task - TodoList enabled for better tracking
complex_agent = create_agent_for_task("high")
```
## How It Works
1. When `make_lead_agent(config)` is called, it extracts `is_plan_mode` from `config.configurable`
2. The config is passed to `_build_middlewares(config)`
3. `_build_middlewares()` reads `is_plan_mode` and calls `_create_todo_list_middleware(is_plan_mode)`
4. If `is_plan_mode=True`, a `TodoListMiddleware` instance is created and added to the middleware chain
5. The middleware automatically adds a `write_todos` tool to the agent's toolset
6. The agent can use this tool to manage tasks during execution
7. The middleware handles the todo list state and provides it to the agent
## Architecture
```
make_lead_agent(config)
│
├─> Extracts: is_plan_mode = config.configurable.get("is_plan_mode", False)
│
└─> _build_middlewares(config)
│
├─> ThreadDataMiddleware
├─> SandboxMiddleware
├─> SummarizationMiddleware (if enabled via global config)
├─> TodoListMiddleware (if is_plan_mode=True) ← NEW
├─> TitleMiddleware
└─> ClarificationMiddleware
```
## Implementation Details
### Agent Module
- **Location**: `packages/harness/deerflow/agents/lead_agent/agent.py`
- **Function**: `_create_todo_list_middleware(is_plan_mode: bool)` - Creates TodoListMiddleware if plan mode is enabled
- **Function**: `_build_middlewares(config: RunnableConfig)` - Builds middleware chain based on runtime config
- **Function**: `make_lead_agent(config: RunnableConfig)` - Creates agent with appropriate middlewares
### Runtime Configuration
Plan mode is controlled via the `is_plan_mode` parameter in `RunnableConfig.configurable`:
```python
config = RunnableConfig(
configurable={
"is_plan_mode": True, # Enable plan mode
# ... other configurable options
}
)
```
## Key Benefits
1. **Dynamic Control**: Enable/disable plan mode per request without global state
2. **Flexibility**: Different conversations can have different plan mode settings
3. **Simplicity**: No need for global configuration management
4. **Context-Aware**: Plan mode decision can be based on task complexity, user preferences, etc.
## Custom Prompts
DeerFlow uses custom `system_prompt` and `tool_description` for the TodoListMiddleware that match the overall DeerFlow prompt style:
### System Prompt Features
- Uses XML tags (`<todo_list_system>`) for structure consistency with DeerFlow's main prompt
- Emphasizes CRITICAL rules and best practices
- Clear "When to Use" vs "When NOT to Use" guidelines
- Focuses on real-time updates and immediate task completion
### Tool Description Features
- Detailed usage scenarios with examples
- Strong emphasis on NOT using for simple tasks
- Clear task state definitions (pending, in_progress, completed)
- Comprehensive best practices section
- Task completion requirements to prevent premature marking
The custom prompts are defined in `_create_todo_list_middleware()` in `/Users/hetao/workspace/deer-flow/backend/packages/harness/deerflow/agents/lead_agent/agent.py:57`.
## Notes
- TodoList middleware uses LangChain's built-in `TodoListMiddleware` with **custom DeerFlow-style prompts**
- Plan mode is **disabled by default** (`is_plan_mode=False`) to maintain backward compatibility
- The middleware is positioned before `ClarificationMiddleware` to allow todo management during clarification flows
- Custom prompts emphasize the same principles as DeerFlow's main system prompt (clarity, action-oriented, critical rules)

# RFC: Extract Shared Skill Installer and Upload Manager into Harness
## 1. Problem
Gateway (`app/gateway/routers/skills.py`, `uploads.py`) and Client (`deerflow/client.py`) each independently implement the same business logic:
### Skill Installation
| Logic | Gateway (`skills.py`) | Client (`client.py`) |
|-------|----------------------|---------------------|
| Zip safety check | `_is_unsafe_zip_member()` | Inline `Path(info.filename).is_absolute()` |
| Symlink filtering | `_is_symlink_member()` | `p.is_symlink()` post-extraction delete |
| Zip bomb defence | `total_size += info.file_size` (declared) | `total_size > 100MB` (declared) |
| macOS metadata filter | `_should_ignore_archive_entry()` | None |
| Frontmatter validation | `_validate_skill_frontmatter()` | `_validate_skill_frontmatter()` |
| Duplicate detection | `HTTPException(409)` | `ValueError` |
**Two implementations, inconsistent behaviour**: Gateway streams writes and tracks real decompressed size; Client sums declared `file_size`. Gateway skips symlinks during extraction; Client extracts everything then walks and deletes symlinks.
### Upload Management
| Logic | Gateway (`uploads.py`) | Client (`client.py`) |
|-------|----------------------|---------------------|
| Directory access | `get_uploads_dir()` + `mkdir` | `_get_uploads_dir()` + `mkdir` |
| Filename safety | Inline `Path(f).name` + manual checks | No checks, uses `src_path.name` directly |
| Duplicate handling | None (overwrites) | None (overwrites) |
| Listing | Inline `iterdir()` | Inline `os.scandir()` |
| Deletion | Inline `unlink()` + traversal check | Inline `unlink()` + traversal check |
| Path traversal | `resolve().relative_to()` | `resolve().relative_to()` |
**The same traversal check is written twice** — any security fix must be applied to both locations.
## 2. Design Principles
### Dependency Direction
```
app.gateway.routers.skills ──┐
app.gateway.routers.uploads ──┤── calls ──→ deerflow.skills.installer
deerflow.client ──┘ deerflow.uploads.manager
```
- Shared modules live in the harness layer (`deerflow.*`), pure business logic, no FastAPI dependency
- Gateway handles HTTP adaptation (`UploadFile` → bytes, exceptions → `HTTPException`)
- Client handles local adaptation (`Path` → copy, exceptions → Python exceptions)
- Satisfies `test_harness_boundary.py` constraint: harness never imports app
### Exception Strategy
| Shared Layer Exception | Gateway Maps To | Client |
|----------------------|-----------------|--------|
| `FileNotFoundError` | `HTTPException(404)` | Propagates |
| `ValueError` | `HTTPException(400)` | Propagates |
| `SkillAlreadyExistsError` | `HTTPException(409)` | Propagates |
| `PermissionError` | `HTTPException(403)` | Propagates |
Replaces stringly-typed routing (`"already exists" in str(e)`) with typed exception matching (`SkillAlreadyExistsError`).
## 3. New Modules
### 3.1 `deerflow.skills.installer`
```python
# Safety checks
is_unsafe_zip_member(info: ZipInfo) -> bool # Absolute path / .. traversal
is_symlink_member(info: ZipInfo) -> bool # Unix symlink detection
should_ignore_archive_entry(path: Path) -> bool # __MACOSX / dotfiles
# Extraction
safe_extract_skill_archive(zip_ref, dest_path, max_total_size=512MB)
# Streaming write, accumulates real bytes (vs declared file_size)
# Dual traversal check: member-level + resolve-level
# Directory resolution
resolve_skill_dir_from_archive(temp_path: Path) -> Path
# Auto-enters single directory, filters macOS metadata
# Install entry point
install_skill_from_archive(zip_path, *, skills_root=None) -> dict
# is_file() pre-check before extension validation
# SkillAlreadyExistsError replaces ValueError
# Exception
class SkillAlreadyExistsError(ValueError)
```
### 3.2 `deerflow.uploads.manager`
```python
# Directory management
get_uploads_dir(thread_id: str) -> Path # Pure path, no side effects
ensure_uploads_dir(thread_id: str) -> Path # Creates directory (for write paths)
# Filename safety
normalize_filename(filename: str) -> str
# Path.name extraction + rejects ".." / "." / backslash / >255 bytes
deduplicate_filename(name: str, seen: set) -> str
# _N suffix increment for dedup, mutates seen in place
# Path safety
validate_path_traversal(path: Path, base: Path) -> None
# resolve().relative_to(), raises PermissionError on failure
# File operations
list_files_in_dir(directory: Path) -> dict
# scandir with stat inside context (no re-stat)
# follow_symlinks=False to prevent metadata leakage
# Non-existent directory returns empty list
delete_file_safe(base_dir: Path, filename: str) -> dict
# Validates traversal first, then unlinks
# URL helpers
upload_artifact_url(thread_id, filename) -> str # Percent-encoded for HTTP safety
upload_virtual_path(filename) -> str # Sandbox-internal path
enrich_file_listing(result, thread_id) -> dict # Adds URLs, stringifies sizes
```
## 4. Changes
### 4.1 Gateway Slimming
**`app/gateway/routers/skills.py`**:
- Remove `_is_unsafe_zip_member`, `_is_symlink_member`, `_safe_extract_skill_archive`, `_should_ignore_archive_entry`, `_resolve_skill_dir_from_archive_root` (~80 lines)
- `install_skill` route becomes a single call to `install_skill_from_archive(path)`
- Exception mapping: `SkillAlreadyExistsError → 409`, `ValueError → 400`, `FileNotFoundError → 404`
**`app/gateway/routers/uploads.py`**:
- Remove inline `get_uploads_dir` (replaced by `ensure_uploads_dir`/`get_uploads_dir`)
- `upload_files` uses `normalize_filename()` instead of inline safety checks
- `list_uploaded_files` uses `list_files_in_dir()` + enrichment
- `delete_uploaded_file` uses `delete_file_safe()` + companion markdown cleanup
### 4.2 Client Slimming
**`deerflow/client.py`**:
- Remove `_get_uploads_dir` static method
- Remove ~50 lines of inline zip handling in `install_skill`
- `install_skill` delegates to `install_skill_from_archive()`
- `upload_files` uses `deduplicate_filename()` + `ensure_uploads_dir()`
- `list_uploads` uses `get_uploads_dir()` + `list_files_in_dir()`
- `delete_upload` uses `get_uploads_dir()` + `delete_file_safe()`
- `update_mcp_config` / `update_skill` now reset `_agent_config_key = None`
### 4.3 Read/Write Path Separation
| Operation | Function | Creates dir? |
|-----------|----------|:------------:|
| upload (write) | `ensure_uploads_dir()` | Yes |
| list (read) | `get_uploads_dir()` | No |
| delete (read) | `get_uploads_dir()` | No |
Read paths no longer have `mkdir` side effects — non-existent directories return empty lists.
## 5. Security Improvements
| Improvement | Before | After |
|-------------|--------|-------|
| Zip bomb detection | Sum of declared `file_size` | Streaming write, accumulates real bytes |
| Symlink handling | Gateway skips / Client deletes post-extract | Unified skip + log |
| Traversal check | Member-level only | Member-level + `resolve().is_relative_to()` |
| Filename backslash | Gateway checks / Client doesn't | Unified rejection |
| Filename length | No check | Reject > 255 bytes (OS limit) |
| thread_id validation | None | Reject unsafe filesystem characters |
| Listing symlink leak | `follow_symlinks=True` (default) | `follow_symlinks=False` |
| 409 status routing | `"already exists" in str(e)` | `SkillAlreadyExistsError` type match |
| Artifact URL encoding | Raw filename in URL | `urllib.parse.quote()` |
## 6. Alternatives Considered
| Alternative | Why Not |
|-------------|---------|
| Keep logic in Gateway, Client calls Gateway via HTTP | Adds network dependency to embedded Client; defeats the purpose of `DeerFlowClient` as an in-process API |
| Abstract base class with Gateway/Client subclasses | Over-engineered for what are pure functions; no polymorphism needed |
| Move everything into `client.py` and have Gateway import it | Violates harness/app boundary — Client is in harness, but Gateway-specific models (Pydantic response types) should stay in app layer |
| Merge Gateway and Client into one module | They serve different consumers (HTTP vs in-process) with different adaptation needs |
## 7. Breaking Changes
**None.** All public APIs (Gateway HTTP endpoints, `DeerFlowClient` methods) retain their existing signatures and return formats. The `SkillAlreadyExistsError` is a subclass of `ValueError`, so existing `except ValueError` handlers still catch it.
## 8. Tests
| Module | Test File | Count |
|--------|-----------|:-----:|
| `skills.installer` | `tests/test_skills_installer.py` | 22 |
| `uploads.manager` | `tests/test_uploads_manager.py` | 20 |
| `client` hardening | `tests/test_client.py` (new cases) | ~40 |
| `client` e2e | `tests/test_client_e2e.py` (new file) | ~20 |
Coverage: unsafe zip / symlink / zip bomb / frontmatter / duplicate / extension / macOS filter / normalize / deduplicate / traversal / list / delete / agent invalidation / upload lifecycle / thread isolation / URL encoding / config pollution.

- `upload_files` uses `normalize_filename()` instead of inline safety checks
- `list_uploaded_files` uses `list_files_in_dir()` + enrichment
- `delete_uploaded_file` uses `delete_file_safe()` + companion markdown cleanup
### 4.2 Client Slimming
**`deerflow/client.py`**:
- Remove `_get_uploads_dir` static method
- Remove ~50 lines of inline zip handling in `install_skill`
- `install_skill` delegates to `install_skill_from_archive()`
- `upload_files` uses `deduplicate_filename()` + `ensure_uploads_dir()`
- `list_uploads` uses `get_uploads_dir()` + `list_files_in_dir()`
- `delete_upload` uses `get_uploads_dir()` + `delete_file_safe()`
- `update_mcp_config` / `update_skill` now reset `_agent_config_key = None`
### 4.3 Read/Write Path Separation
| Operation | Function | Creates dir? |
|-----------|----------|:------------:|
| upload (write) | `ensure_uploads_dir()` | Yes |
| list (read) | `get_uploads_dir()` | No |
| delete (read) | `get_uploads_dir()` | No |
Read paths no longer have `mkdir` side effects — non-existent directories return empty lists.
## 5. Security Improvements
| Improvement | Before | After |
|-------------|--------|-------|
| Zip bomb detection | Sum of declared `file_size` | Streaming write, accumulates real bytes |
| Symlink handling | Gateway skips / Client deletes post-extract | Unified skip + log |
| Traversal check | Member-level only | Member-level + `resolve().is_relative_to()` |
| Filename backslash | Gateway checks / Client doesn't | Unified rejection |
| Filename length | No check | Reject > 255 bytes (OS limit) |
| thread_id validation | None | Reject unsafe filesystem characters |
| Listing symlink leak | `follow_symlinks=True` (default) | `follow_symlinks=False` |
| 409 status routing | `"already exists" in str(e)` | `SkillAlreadyExistsError` type match |
| Artifact URL encoding | Raw filename in URL | `urllib.parse.quote()` |
## 6. Alternatives Considered
| Alternative | Why Not |
|-------------|---------|
| Keep logic in Gateway, Client calls Gateway via HTTP | Adds network dependency to embedded Client; defeats the purpose of `DeerFlowClient` as an in-process API |
| Abstract base class with Gateway/Client subclasses | Over-engineered for what are pure functions; no polymorphism needed |
| Move everything into `client.py` and have Gateway import it | Violates harness/app boundary — Client is in harness, but Gateway-specific models (Pydantic response types) should stay in app layer |
| Merge Gateway and Client into one module | They serve different consumers (HTTP vs in-process) with different adaptation needs |
## 7. Breaking Changes
**None.** All public APIs (Gateway HTTP endpoints, `DeerFlowClient` methods) retain their existing signatures and return formats. The `SkillAlreadyExistsError` is a subclass of `ValueError`, so existing `except ValueError` handlers still catch it.
## 8. Tests
| Module | Test File | Count |
|--------|-----------|:-----:|
| `skills.installer` | `tests/test_skills_installer.py` | 22 |
| `uploads.manager` | `tests/test_uploads_manager.py` | 20 |
| `client` hardening | `tests/test_client.py` (new cases) | ~40 |
| `client` e2e | `tests/test_client_e2e.py` (new file) | ~20 |
Coverage: unsafe zip / symlink / zip bomb / frontmatter / duplicate / extension / macOS filter / normalize / deduplicate / traversal / list / delete / agent invalidation / upload lifecycle / thread isolation / URL encoding / config pollution.

# [RFC] 在 DeerFlow 中增加 `grep` 与 `glob` 文件搜索工具
## Summary
我认为这个方向是对的,而且值得做。
如果 DeerFlow 想更接近 Claude Code 这类 coding agent 的实际工作流,仅有 `ls` / `read_file` / `write_file` / `str_replace` 还不够。模型在进入修改前,通常还需要两类能力:
- `glob`: 快速按路径模式找文件
- `grep`: 快速按内容模式找候选位置
这两类工具的价值,不是“功能上 bash 也能做”,而是它们能以更低 token 成本、更强约束、更稳定的输出格式,替代模型频繁走 `bash find` / `bash grep` / `rg` 的习惯。
但前提是实现方式要对:**它们应该是只读、结构化、受限、可审计的原生工具,而不是对 shell 命令的简单包装。**
## Problem
当前 DeerFlow 的文件工具层主要覆盖:
- `ls`: 浏览目录结构
- `read_file`: 读取文件内容
- `write_file`: 写文件
- `str_replace`: 做局部字符串替换
- `bash`: 兜底执行命令
这套能力能完成任务,但在代码库探索阶段效率不高。
典型问题:
1. 模型想找 “所有 `*.tsx` 的 page 文件” 时,只能反复 `ls` 多层目录,或者退回 `bash find`
2. 模型想找 “某个 symbol / 文案 / 配置键在哪里出现” 时,只能逐文件 `read_file`,或者退回 `bash grep` / `rg`
3. 一旦退回 `bash`,工具调用就失去结构化输出,结果也更难做裁剪、分页、审计和跨 sandbox 一致化
4. 对没有开启 host bash 的本地模式,`bash` 甚至可能不可用,此时缺少足够强的只读检索能力
结论:DeerFlow 现在缺的不是“再多一个 shell 命令”,而是**文件系统检索层**。
## Goals
- 为 agent 提供稳定的路径搜索和内容搜索能力
- 减少对 `bash` 的依赖,特别是在仓库探索阶段
- 保持与现有 sandbox 安全模型一致
- 输出格式结构化,便于模型后续串联 `read_file` / `str_replace`
- 让本地 sandbox、容器 sandbox、未来 MCP 文件系统工具都能遵守同一语义
## Non-Goals
- 不做通用 shell 兼容层
- 不暴露完整 grep/find/rg CLI 语法
- 不在第一版支持二进制检索、复杂 PCRE 特性、上下文窗口高亮渲染等重功能
- 不把它做成“任意磁盘搜索”,仍然只允许在 DeerFlow 已授权的路径内执行
## Why This Is Worth Doing
参考 Claude Code 这一类 agent 的设计思路,`glob` 和 `grep` 的核心价值不是新能力本身,而是把“探索代码库”的常见动作从开放式 shell 降到受控工具层。
这样有几个直接收益:
1. **更低的模型负担**
模型不需要自己拼 `find`, `grep`, `rg`, `xargs`, quoting 等命令细节。
2. **更稳定的跨环境行为**
本地、Docker、AIO sandbox 不必依赖容器里是否装了 `rg`,也不会因为 shell 差异导致行为漂移。
3. **更强的安全与审计**
调用参数就是“搜索什么、在哪搜、最多返回多少”,天然比任意命令更容易审计和限流。
4. **更好的 token 效率**
`grep` 返回的是命中摘要而不是整段文件,模型只对少数候选路径再调用 `read_file`。
5. **对 `tool_search` 友好**
当 DeerFlow 持续扩展工具集时,`grep` / `glob` 会成为非常高频的基础工具,值得保留为 built-in,而不是让模型总是退回通用 bash。
## Proposal
增加两个 built-in sandbox tools:
- `glob`
- `grep`
推荐继续放在:
- `backend/packages/harness/deerflow/sandbox/tools.py`
并在 `config.example.yaml` 中默认加入 `file:read` 组。
### 1. `glob` 工具
用途:按路径模式查找文件或目录。
建议 schema:
```python
@tool("glob", parse_docstring=True)
def glob_tool(
runtime: ToolRuntime[ContextT, ThreadState],
description: str,
pattern: str,
path: str,
include_dirs: bool = False,
max_results: int = 200,
) -> str:
...
```
参数语义:
- `description`: 与现有工具保持一致
- `pattern`: glob 模式,例如 `**/*.py`、`src/**/test_*.ts`
- `path`: 搜索根目录,必须是绝对路径
- `include_dirs`: 是否返回目录
- `max_results`: 最大返回条数,防止一次性打爆上下文
建议返回格式:
```text
Found 3 paths under /mnt/user-data/workspace
1. /mnt/user-data/workspace/backend/app.py
2. /mnt/user-data/workspace/backend/tests/test_app.py
3. /mnt/user-data/workspace/scripts/build.py
```
如果后续想更适合前端消费,也可以改成 JSON 字符串;但第一版为了兼容现有工具风格,返回可读文本即可。
### 2. `grep` 工具
用途:按内容模式搜索文件,返回命中位置摘要。
建议 schema:
```python
@tool("grep", parse_docstring=True)
def grep_tool(
runtime: ToolRuntime[ContextT, ThreadState],
description: str,
pattern: str,
path: str,
glob: str | None = None,
literal: bool = False,
case_sensitive: bool = False,
max_results: int = 100,
) -> str:
...
```
参数语义:
- `pattern`: 搜索词或正则
- `path`: 搜索根目录,必须是绝对路径
- `glob`: 可选路径过滤,例如 `**/*.py`
- `literal`: 为 `True` 时按普通字符串匹配,不解释为正则
- `case_sensitive`: 是否大小写敏感
- `max_results`: 最大返回命中数,不是文件数
建议返回格式:
```text
Found 4 matches under /mnt/user-data/workspace
/mnt/user-data/workspace/backend/config.py:12: TOOL_GROUPS = [...]
/mnt/user-data/workspace/backend/config.py:48: def load_tool_config(...):
/mnt/user-data/workspace/backend/tools.py:91: "tool_groups"
/mnt/user-data/workspace/backend/tests/test_config.py:22: assert "tool_groups" in data
```
第一版建议只返回:
- 文件路径
- 行号
- 命中行摘要
不返回上下文块,避免结果过大。模型如果需要上下文,再调用 `read_file(path, start_line, end_line)`。
## Design Principles
### A. 不做 shell wrapper
不建议把 `grep` 实现为:
```python
subprocess.run("grep ...")
```
也不建议在容器里直接拼 `find` / `rg` 命令。
原因:
- 会引入 shell quoting 和注入面
- 会依赖不同 sandbox 内镜像是否安装同一套命令
- Windows / macOS / Linux 行为不一致
- 很难稳定控制输出条数与格式
正确方向是:
- `glob` 使用 Python 标准库路径遍历
- `grep` 使用 Python 逐文件扫描
- 输出由 DeerFlow 自己格式化
如果未来为了性能考虑要优先调用 `rg`,也应该封装在 provider 内部,并保证外部语义不变,而不是把 CLI 暴露给模型。
### B. 继续沿用 DeerFlow 的路径权限模型
这两个工具必须复用当前 `ls` / `read_file` 的路径校验逻辑:
- 本地模式走 `validate_local_tool_path(..., read_only=True)`
- 支持 `/mnt/skills/...`
- 支持 `/mnt/acp-workspace/...`
- 支持 thread workspace / uploads / outputs 的虚拟路径解析
- 明确拒绝越权路径与 path traversal
也就是说,它们属于 **file:read**,不是 `bash` 的替代越权入口。
### C. 结果必须硬限制
没有硬限制的 `glob` / `grep` 很容易炸上下文。
建议第一版至少限制:
- `glob.max_results` 默认 200,最大 1000
- `grep.max_results` 默认 100,最大 500
- 单行摘要最大长度,例如 200 字符
- 二进制文件跳过
- 超大文件跳过,例如单文件大于 1 MB 或按配置控制
此外,命中数超过阈值时应返回:
- 已展示的条数
- 被截断的事实
- 建议用户缩小搜索范围
例如:
```text
Found more than 100 matches, showing first 100. Narrow the path or add a glob filter.
```
### D. 工具语义要彼此互补
推荐模型工作流应该是:
1. `glob` 找候选文件
2. `grep` 找候选位置
3. `read_file` 读局部上下文
4. `str_replace` / `write_file` 执行修改
这样工具边界清晰,也更利于 prompt 中教模型形成稳定习惯。
## Implementation Approach
## Option A: 直接在 `sandbox/tools.py` 实现第一版
这是我推荐的起步方案。
做法:
- 在 `sandbox/tools.py` 新增 `glob_tool` 与 `grep_tool`
- 在 local sandbox 场景直接使用 Python 文件系统 API
- 在非 local sandbox 场景,优先也通过 DeerFlow 自己控制的路径访问层实现
优点:
- 改动小
- 能尽快验证 agent 效果
- 不需要先改 `Sandbox` 抽象
缺点:
- `tools.py` 会继续变胖
- 如果未来想在 provider 侧做性能优化,需要再抽象一次
## Option B: 先扩展 `Sandbox` 抽象
例如新增:
```python
class Sandbox(ABC):
def glob(self, path: str, pattern: str, include_dirs: bool = False, max_results: int = 200) -> list[str]:
...
def grep(
self,
path: str,
pattern: str,
*,
glob: str | None = None,
literal: bool = False,
case_sensitive: bool = False,
max_results: int = 100,
) -> list[GrepMatch]:
...
```
优点:
- 抽象更干净
- 容器 / 远程 sandbox 可以各自优化
缺点:
- 首次引入成本更高
- 需要同步改所有 sandbox provider
结论:
**第一版建议走 Option A,等工具价值验证后再下沉到 `Sandbox` 抽象层。**
## Detailed Behavior
### `glob` 行为
- 输入根目录不存在:返回清晰错误
- 根路径不是目录:返回清晰错误
- 模式非法:返回清晰错误
- 结果为空:返回 `No files matched`
- 默认忽略项应尽量与当前 `list_dir` 对齐,例如:
- `.git`
- `node_modules`
- `__pycache__`
- `.venv`
- 构建产物目录
这里建议抽一个共享 ignore 集,避免 `ls` 与 `glob` 结果风格不一致。
### `grep` 行为
- 默认只扫描文本文件
- 检测到二进制文件直接跳过
- 对超大文件直接跳过或只扫前 N KB
- regex 编译失败时返回参数错误
- 输出中的路径继续使用虚拟路径,而不是暴露宿主真实路径
- 建议默认按文件路径、行号排序,保持稳定输出
## Prompting Guidance
如果引入这两个工具,建议同步更新系统提示中的文件操作建议:
- 查找文件名模式时优先用 `glob`
- 查找代码符号、配置项、文案时优先用 `grep`
- 只有在工具不足以完成目标时才退回 `bash`
否则模型仍会习惯性先调用 `bash`。
## Risks
### 1. 与 `bash` 能力重叠
这是事实,但不是问题。
`ls` 和 `read_file` 也都能被 `bash` 替代,但我们仍然保留它们,因为结构化工具更适合 agent。
### 2. 性能问题
在大仓库上,纯 Python `grep` 可能比 `rg` 慢。
缓解方式:
- 第一版先加结果上限和文件大小上限
- 路径上强制要求 root path
- 提供 `glob` 过滤缩小扫描范围
- 后续如有必要,在 provider 内部做 `rg` 优化,但保持同一 schema
### 3. 忽略规则不一致
如果 `ls` 能看到的路径,`glob` 却看不到,模型会困惑。
缓解方式:
- 统一 ignore 规则
- 在文档里明确“默认跳过常见依赖和构建目录”
### 4. 正则搜索过于复杂
如果第一版就支持大量 grep 方言,边界会很乱。
缓解方式:
- 第一版只支持 Python `re`
- 并提供 `literal=True` 的简单模式
## Alternatives Considered
### A. 不增加工具,完全依赖 `bash`
不推荐。
这会让 DeerFlow 在代码探索体验上持续落后,也削弱无 bash 或受限 bash 场景下的能力。
### B. 只加 `glob`,不加 `grep`
不推荐。
只解决“找文件”,没有解决“找位置”。模型最终还是会退回 `bash grep`。
### C. 只加 `grep`,不加 `glob`
也不推荐。
`grep` 缺少路径模式过滤时,扫描范围经常太大;`glob` 是它的天然前置工具。
### D. 直接接入 MCP filesystem server 的搜索能力
短期不推荐作为主路径。
MCP 可以是补充,但 `glob` / `grep` 作为 DeerFlow 的基础 coding tool,最好仍然是 built-in,这样才能在默认安装中稳定可用。
## Acceptance Criteria
- `config.example.yaml` 中可默认启用 `glob` 与 `grep`
- 两个工具归属 `file:read` 组
- 本地 sandbox 下严格遵守现有路径权限
- 输出不泄露宿主机真实路径
- 大结果集会被截断并明确提示
- 模型可以通过 `glob -> grep -> read_file -> str_replace` 完成典型改码流
- 在禁用 host bash 的本地模式下,仓库探索能力明显提升
## Rollout Plan
1. 在 `sandbox/tools.py` 中实现 `glob_tool` 与 `grep_tool`
2. 抽取与 `list_dir` 一致的 ignore 规则,避免行为漂移
3. 在 `config.example.yaml` 默认加入工具配置
4. 为本地路径校验、虚拟路径映射、结果截断、二进制跳过补测试
5. 更新 README / backend docs / prompt guidance
6. 收集实际 agent 调用数据,再决定是否下沉到 `Sandbox` 抽象
## Suggested Config
```yaml
tools:
- name: glob
group: file:read
use: deerflow.sandbox.tools:glob_tool
- name: grep
group: file:read
use: deerflow.sandbox.tools:grep_tool
```
## Final Recommendation
结论是:**可以加,而且应该加。**
但我会明确卡三个边界:
1. `grep` / `glob` 必须是 built-in 的只读结构化工具
2. 第一版不要做 shell wrapper,不要把 CLI 方言直接暴露给模型
3. 先在 `sandbox/tools.py` 验证价值,再考虑是否下沉到 `Sandbox` provider 抽象
如果按这个方向做,它会明显提升 DeerFlow 在 coding / repo exploration 场景下的可用性,而且风险可控。

`ls` 和 `read_file` 也都能被 `bash` 替代,但我们仍然保留它们,因为结构化工具更适合 agent。
### 2. 性能问题
在大仓库上,纯 Python `grep` 可能比 `rg` 慢。
缓解方式:
- 第一版先加结果上限和文件大小上限
- 路径上强制要求 root path
- 提供 `glob` 过滤缩小扫描范围
- 后续如有必要,在 provider 内部做 `rg` 优化,但保持同一 schema
### 3. 忽略规则不一致
如果 `ls` 能看到的路径,`glob` 却看不到,模型会困惑。
缓解方式:
- 统一 ignore 规则
- 在文档里明确“默认跳过常见依赖和构建目录”
### 4. 正则搜索过于复杂
如果第一版就支持大量 grep 方言,边界会很乱。
缓解方式:
- 第一版只支持 Python `re`
- 并提供 `literal=True` 的简单模式
## Alternatives Considered
### A. 不增加工具,完全依赖 `bash`
不推荐。
这会让 DeerFlow 在代码探索体验上持续落后,也削弱无 bash 或受限 bash 场景下的能力。
### B. 只加 `glob`,不加 `grep`
不推荐。
只解决“找文件”,没有解决“找位置”。模型最终还是会退回 `bash grep`。
### C. 只加 `grep`,不加 `glob`
也不推荐。
`grep` 缺少路径模式过滤时,扫描范围经常太大;`glob` 是它的天然前置工具。
### D. 直接接入 MCP filesystem server 的搜索能力
短期不推荐作为主路径。
MCP 可以是补充,但 `glob` / `grep` 作为 DeerFlow 的基础 coding tool,最好仍然是 built-in,这样才能在默认安装中稳定可用。
## Acceptance Criteria
- `config.example.yaml` 中可默认启用 `glob` 与 `grep`
- 两个工具归属 `file:read` 组
- 本地 sandbox 下严格遵守现有路径权限
- 输出不泄露宿主机真实路径
- 大结果集会被截断并明确提示
- 模型可以通过 `glob -> grep -> read_file -> str_replace` 完成典型改码流
- 在禁用 host bash 的本地模式下,仓库探索能力明显提升
## Rollout Plan
1. 在 `sandbox/tools.py` 中实现 `glob_tool` 与 `grep_tool`
2. 抽取与 `list_dir` 一致的 ignore 规则,避免行为漂移
3. 在 `config.example.yaml` 默认加入工具配置
4. 为本地路径校验、虚拟路径映射、结果截断、二进制跳过补测试
5. 更新 README / backend docs / prompt guidance
6. 收集实际 agent 调用数据,再决定是否下沉到 `Sandbox` 抽象
## Suggested Config
```yaml
tools:
- name: glob
group: file:read
use: deerflow.sandbox.tools:glob_tool
- name: grep
group: file:read
use: deerflow.sandbox.tools:grep_tool
```
## Final Recommendation
结论是:**可以加,而且应该加。**
但我会明确卡三个边界:
1. `grep` / `glob` 必须是 built-in 的只读结构化工具
2. 第一版不要做 shell wrapper,不要把 CLI 方言直接暴露给模型
3. 先在 `sandbox/tools.py` 验证价值,再考虑是否下沉到 `Sandbox` provider 抽象
如果按这个方向做,它会明显提升 DeerFlow 在 coding / repo exploration 场景下的可用性,而且风险可控。

# Conversation Summarization
DeerFlow includes automatic conversation summarization to handle long conversations that approach model token limits. When enabled, the system automatically condenses older messages while preserving recent context.
## Overview
The summarization feature uses LangChain's `SummarizationMiddleware` to monitor conversation history and trigger summarization based on configurable thresholds. When activated, it:
1. Monitors message token counts in real-time
2. Triggers summarization when thresholds are met
3. Keeps recent messages intact while summarizing older exchanges
4. Maintains AI/Tool message pairs together for context continuity
5. Injects the summary back into the conversation
## Configuration
Summarization is configured in `config.yaml` under the `summarization` key:
```yaml
summarization:
enabled: true
model_name: null # Use default model or specify a lightweight model
# Trigger conditions (OR logic - any condition triggers summarization)
trigger:
- type: tokens
value: 4000
# Additional triggers (optional)
# - type: messages
# value: 50
# - type: fraction
# value: 0.8 # 80% of model's max input tokens
# Context retention policy
keep:
type: messages
value: 20
# Token trimming for summarization call
trim_tokens_to_summarize: 4000
# Custom summary prompt (optional)
summary_prompt: null
# Tool names treated as skill file reads for skill rescue
skill_file_read_tool_names:
- read_file
- read
- view
- cat
```
### Configuration Options
#### `enabled`
- **Type**: Boolean
- **Default**: `false`
- **Description**: Enable or disable automatic summarization
#### `model_name`
- **Type**: String or null
- **Default**: `null` (uses default model)
- **Description**: Model to use for generating summaries. Recommended to use a lightweight, cost-effective model like `gpt-4o-mini` or equivalent.
#### `trigger`
- **Type**: Single `ContextSize` or list of `ContextSize` objects
- **Required**: At least one trigger must be specified when enabled
- **Description**: Thresholds that trigger summarization. Uses OR logic - summarization runs when ANY threshold is met.
**ContextSize Types:**
1. **Token-based trigger**: Activates when token count reaches the specified value
```yaml
trigger:
type: tokens
value: 4000
```
2. **Message-based trigger**: Activates when message count reaches the specified value
```yaml
trigger:
type: messages
value: 50
```
3. **Fraction-based trigger**: Activates when token usage reaches a percentage of the model's maximum input tokens
```yaml
trigger:
type: fraction
value: 0.8 # 80% of max input tokens
```
**Multiple Triggers:**
```yaml
trigger:
- type: tokens
value: 4000
- type: messages
value: 50
```
#### `keep`
- **Type**: `ContextSize` object
- **Default**: `{type: messages, value: 20}`
- **Description**: Specifies how much recent conversation history to preserve after summarization.
**Examples:**
```yaml
# Keep most recent 20 messages
keep:
type: messages
value: 20
# Keep most recent 3000 tokens
keep:
type: tokens
value: 3000
# Keep most recent 30% of model's max input tokens
keep:
type: fraction
value: 0.3
```
#### `trim_tokens_to_summarize`
- **Type**: Integer or null
- **Default**: `4000`
- **Description**: Maximum tokens to include when preparing messages for the summarization call itself. Set to `null` to skip trimming (not recommended for very long conversations).
#### `summary_prompt`
- **Type**: String or null
- **Default**: `null` (uses LangChain's default prompt)
- **Description**: Custom prompt template for generating summaries. The prompt should guide the model to extract the most important context.
#### `preserve_recent_skill_count`
- **Type**: Integer (≥ 0)
- **Default**: `5`
- **Description**: Number of most-recently-loaded skill files (tool results whose tool name is in `skill_file_read_tool_names` and whose target path is under `skills.container_path`, e.g. `/mnt/skills/...`) that are rescued from summarization. Prevents the agent from losing skill instructions after compression. Set to `0` to disable skill rescue entirely.
#### `preserve_recent_skill_tokens`
- **Type**: Integer (≥ 0)
- **Default**: `25000`
- **Description**: Total token budget reserved for rescued skill reads. Once this budget is exhausted, older skill bundles are allowed to be summarized.
#### `preserve_recent_skill_tokens_per_skill`
- **Type**: Integer (≥ 0)
- **Default**: `5000`
- **Description**: Per-skill token cap. Any individual skill read whose tool result exceeds this size is not rescued (it falls through to the summarizer like ordinary content).
#### `skill_file_read_tool_names`
- **Type**: List of strings
- **Default**: `["read_file", "read", "view", "cat"]`
- **Description**: Tool names treated as skill file reads during summarization rescue. A tool call is only eligible for skill rescue when its name appears in this list and its target path is under `skills.container_path`.
**Default Prompt Behavior:**
The default LangChain prompt instructs the model to:
- Extract highest quality/most relevant context
- Focus on information critical to the overall goal
- Avoid repeating completed actions
- Return only the extracted context
## How It Works
### Summarization Flow
1. **Monitoring**: Before each model call, the middleware counts tokens in the message history
2. **Trigger Check**: If any configured threshold is met, summarization is triggered
3. **Message Partitioning**: Messages are split into:
- Messages to summarize (older messages beyond the `keep` threshold)
- Messages to preserve (recent messages within the `keep` threshold)
4. **Summary Generation**: The model generates a concise summary of the older messages
5. **Context Replacement**: The message history is updated:
- All old messages are removed
- A single summary message is added
- Recent messages are preserved
6. **AI/Tool Pair Protection**: The system ensures AI messages and their corresponding tool messages stay together
7. **Skill Rescue**: Before the summary is generated, the most recently loaded skill files (tool results whose tool name is in `skill_file_read_tool_names` and whose target path is under `skills.container_path`) are lifted out of the summarization set and prepended to the preserved tail. Selection walks newest-first under three budgets: `preserve_recent_skill_count`, `preserve_recent_skill_tokens`, and `preserve_recent_skill_tokens_per_skill`. The triggering AIMessage and all of its paired ToolMessages move together so tool_call ↔ tool_result pairing stays intact.
### Token Counting
- Uses approximate token counting based on character count
- For Anthropic models: ~3.3 characters per token
- For other models: Uses LangChain's default estimation
- Can be customized with a custom `token_counter` function
### Message Preservation
The middleware intelligently preserves message context:
- **Recent Messages**: Always kept intact based on `keep` configuration
- **AI/Tool Pairs**: Never split - if a cutoff point falls within tool messages, the system adjusts to keep the entire AI + Tool message sequence together
- **Summary Format**: Summary is injected as a HumanMessage with the format:
```
Here is a summary of the conversation to date:
[Generated summary text]
```
## Best Practices
### Choosing Trigger Thresholds
1. **Token-based triggers**: Recommended for most use cases
- Set to 60-80% of your model's context window
- Example: For 8K context, use 4000-6000 tokens
2. **Message-based triggers**: Useful for controlling conversation length
- Good for applications with many short messages
- Example: 50-100 messages depending on average message length
3. **Fraction-based triggers**: Ideal when using multiple models
- Automatically adapts to each model's capacity
- Example: 0.8 (80% of model's max input tokens)
### Choosing Retention Policy (`keep`)
1. **Message-based retention**: Best for most scenarios
- Preserves natural conversation flow
- Recommended: 15-25 messages
2. **Token-based retention**: Use when precise control is needed
- Good for managing exact token budgets
- Recommended: 2000-4000 tokens
3. **Fraction-based retention**: For multi-model setups
- Automatically scales with model capacity
- Recommended: 0.2-0.4 (20-40% of max input)
### Model Selection
- **Recommended**: Use a lightweight, cost-effective model for summaries
- Examples: `gpt-4o-mini`, `claude-haiku`, or equivalent
- Summaries don't require the most powerful models
- Significant cost savings on high-volume applications
- **Default**: If `model_name` is `null`, uses the default model
- May be more expensive but ensures consistency
- Good for simple setups
### Optimization Tips
1. **Balance triggers**: Combine token and message triggers for robust handling
```yaml
trigger:
- type: tokens
value: 4000
- type: messages
value: 50
```
2. **Conservative retention**: Keep more messages initially, adjust based on performance
```yaml
keep:
type: messages
value: 25 # Start higher, reduce if needed
```
3. **Trim strategically**: Limit tokens sent to summarization model
```yaml
trim_tokens_to_summarize: 4000 # Prevents expensive summarization calls
```
4. **Monitor and iterate**: Track summary quality and adjust configuration
## Troubleshooting
### Summary Quality Issues
**Problem**: Summaries losing important context
**Solutions**:
1. Increase `keep` value to preserve more messages
2. Decrease trigger thresholds to summarize earlier
3. Customize `summary_prompt` to emphasize key information
4. Use a more capable model for summarization
### Performance Issues
**Problem**: Summarization calls taking too long
**Solutions**:
1. Use a faster model for summaries (e.g., `gpt-4o-mini`)
2. Reduce `trim_tokens_to_summarize` to send less context
3. Increase trigger thresholds to summarize less frequently
### Token Limit Errors
**Problem**: Still hitting token limits despite summarization
**Solutions**:
1. Lower trigger thresholds to summarize earlier
2. Reduce `keep` value to preserve fewer messages
3. Check if individual messages are very large
4. Consider using fraction-based triggers
## Implementation Details
### Code Structure
- **Configuration**: `packages/harness/deerflow/config/summarization_config.py`
- **Integration**: `packages/harness/deerflow/agents/lead_agent/agent.py`
- **Middleware**: Uses `langchain.agents.middleware.SummarizationMiddleware`
### Middleware Order
Summarization runs after ThreadData and Sandbox initialization but before Title and Clarification:
1. ThreadDataMiddleware
2. SandboxMiddleware
3. **SummarizationMiddleware** ← Runs here
4. TitleMiddleware
5. ClarificationMiddleware
### State Management
- Summarization is stateless - configuration is loaded once at startup
- Summaries are added as regular messages in the conversation history
- The checkpointer persists the summarized history automatically
## Example Configurations

# Task Tool Improvements
## Overview
The task tool has been improved to eliminate wasteful LLM polling. Previously, when using background tasks, the LLM had to repeatedly call `task_status` to poll for completion, causing unnecessary API requests.
## Changes Made
### 1. Removed `run_in_background` Parameter
The `run_in_background` parameter has been removed from the `task` tool. All subagent tasks now run asynchronously by default, but the tool handles completion automatically.
**Before:**
```python
# LLM had to manage polling
task_id = task(
subagent_type="bash",
prompt="Run tests",
description="Run tests",
run_in_background=True
)
# Then LLM had to poll repeatedly:
while True:
status = task_status(task_id)
if completed:
break
```
**After:**
```python
# Tool blocks until complete, polling happens in backend
result = task(
subagent_type="bash",
prompt="Run tests",
description="Run tests"
)
# Result is available immediately after the call returns
```
### 2. Backend Polling
The `task_tool` now:
- Starts the subagent task asynchronously
- Polls for completion in the backend (every 2 seconds)
- Blocks the tool call until completion
- Returns the final result directly
This means:
- ✅ LLM makes only ONE tool call
- ✅ No wasteful LLM polling requests
- ✅ Backend handles all status checking
- ✅ Timeout protection (5 minutes max)
### 3. Removed `task_status` from LLM Tools
The `task_status_tool` is no longer exposed to the LLM. It's kept in the codebase for potential internal/debugging use, but the LLM cannot call it.
### 4. Updated Documentation
- Updated `SUBAGENT_SECTION` in `prompt.py` to remove all references to background tasks and polling
- Simplified usage examples
- Made it clear that the tool automatically waits for completion
## Implementation Details
### Polling Logic
Located in `packages/harness/deerflow/tools/builtins/task_tool.py`:
```python
# Start background execution
task_id = executor.execute_async(prompt)
# Poll for task completion in backend
while True:
result = get_background_task_result(task_id)
# Check if task completed or failed
if result.status == SubagentStatus.COMPLETED:
return f"[Subagent: {subagent_type}]\n\n{result.result}"
elif result.status == SubagentStatus.FAILED:
return f"[Subagent: {subagent_type}] Task failed: {result.error}"
# Wait before next poll
time.sleep(2)
# Timeout protection (5 minutes)
if poll_count > 150:
return "Task timed out after 5 minutes"
```
### Execution Timeout
In addition to polling timeout, subagent execution now has a built-in timeout mechanism:
**Configuration** (`packages/harness/deerflow/subagents/config.py`):
```python
@dataclass
class SubagentConfig:
# ...
timeout_seconds: int = 300 # 5 minutes default
```
**Thread Pool Architecture**:
To avoid nested thread pools and resource waste, we use two dedicated thread pools:
1. **Scheduler Pool** (`_scheduler_pool`):
- Max workers: 4
- Purpose: Orchestrates background task execution
- Runs `run_task()` function that manages task lifecycle
2. **Execution Pool** (`_execution_pool`):
- Max workers: 8 (larger to avoid blocking)
- Purpose: Actual subagent execution with timeout support
- Runs `execute()` method that invokes the agent
**How it works**:
```python
# In execute_async():
_scheduler_pool.submit(run_task) # Submit orchestration task
# In run_task():
future = _execution_pool.submit(self.execute, task) # Submit execution
exec_result = future.result(timeout=timeout_seconds) # Wait with timeout
```
**Benefits**:
- ✅ Clean separation of concerns (scheduling vs execution)
- ✅ No nested thread pools
- ✅ Timeout enforcement at the right level
- ✅ Better resource utilization
**Two-Level Timeout Protection**:
1. **Execution Timeout**: Subagent execution itself has a 5-minute timeout (configurable in SubagentConfig)
2. **Polling Timeout**: Tool polling has a 5-minute timeout (30 polls × 10 seconds)
This ensures that even if subagent execution hangs, the system won't wait indefinitely.
### Benefits
1. **Reduced API Costs**: No more repeated LLM requests for polling
2. **Simpler UX**: LLM doesn't need to manage polling logic
3. **Better Reliability**: Backend handles all status checking consistently
4. **Timeout Protection**: Two-level timeout prevents infinite waiting (execution + polling)
## Testing
To verify the changes work correctly:
1. Start a subagent task that takes a few seconds
2. Verify the tool call blocks until completion
3. Verify the result is returned directly
4. Verify no `task_status` calls are made
Example test scenario:
```python
# This should block for ~10 seconds then return result
result = task(
subagent_type="bash",
prompt="sleep 10 && echo 'Done'",
description="Test task"
)
# result should contain "Done"
```
## Migration Notes
For users/code that previously used `run_in_background=True`:
- Simply remove the parameter
- Remove any polling logic
- The tool will automatically wait for completion
No other changes needed - the API is backward compatible (minus the removed parameter).
# Task Tool Improvements
## Overview
The task tool has been improved to eliminate wasteful LLM polling. Previously, when using background tasks, the LLM had to repeatedly call `task_status` to poll for completion, causing unnecessary API requests.
## Changes Made
### 1. Removed `run_in_background` Parameter
The `run_in_background` parameter has been removed from the `task` tool. All subagent tasks now run asynchronously by default, but the tool handles completion automatically.
**Before:**
```python
# LLM had to manage polling
task_id = task(
subagent_type="bash",
prompt="Run tests",
description="Run tests",
run_in_background=True
)
# Then LLM had to poll repeatedly:
while True:
status = task_status(task_id)
if completed:
break
```
**After:**
```python
# Tool blocks until complete, polling happens in backend
result = task(
subagent_type="bash",
prompt="Run tests",
description="Run tests"
)
# Result is available immediately after the call returns
```
### 2. Backend Polling
The `task_tool` now:
- Starts the subagent task asynchronously
- Polls for completion in the backend (every 2 seconds)
- Blocks the tool call until completion
- Returns the final result directly
This means:
- ✅ LLM makes only ONE tool call
- ✅ No wasteful LLM polling requests
- ✅ Backend handles all status checking
- ✅ Timeout protection (5 minutes max)
### 3. Removed `task_status` from LLM Tools
The `task_status_tool` is no longer exposed to the LLM. It's kept in the codebase for potential internal/debugging use, but the LLM cannot call it.
### 4. Updated Documentation
- Updated `SUBAGENT_SECTION` in `prompt.py` to remove all references to background tasks and polling
- Simplified usage examples
- Made it clear that the tool automatically waits for completion
