      "path": "/home/user/.librefang/workspaces/agents/hello-world/agent.toml"
    },
    {
      "name": "coder",
      "description": "Expert coding assistant",

    }
  ],
  "total": 30
}

GET /api/templates/{name}

    "module": "builtin:chat",
    "tags": [],
    "model": {

System Endpoints

GET /api/health

The status field is "ok" when all systems are healthy, or "degraded" when the database is unreachable.

    "kv_set",
    "agent_call"
  ],
  "total": 60
}

GET /api/tools/{name}

Get detailed information about a specific tool including its input schema.

POST /api/tools/{name}/invoke

Invoke a kernel tool directly, without going through an agent loop. Intended for MCP bridges, automation scripts, and out-of-band integrations.

Fail-closed: every request is rejected unless [tool_invoke] enabled = true and the tool name appears in [tool_invoke] allowlist. Approval-gated tools additionally require ?agent_id=<uuid> so the approval callback can resolve back to a real agent — without an agent_id such tools are rejected to avoid orphaned deferred executions.

Request: JSON body is the tool's input object (validated against the tool's schema).

Query parameters:

  • agent_id (optional, must be a well-formed UUID): caller agent for approval-gated tools and audit attribution.

Response statuses:

  • 200 — tool executed; body is the tool's result JSON.
  • 400 — input failed schema validation, or an approval-gated tool was invoked without agent_id.
  • 403 — endpoint disabled or tool not in the allowlist.
  • 404 — tool not registered.
# config.toml
[tool_invoke]
enabled = true
allowlist = ["http_get", "shell_exec"]   # exact tool names
curl -X POST 'http://127.0.0.1:4545/api/tools/http_get/invoke?agent_id=11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer $LIBREFANG_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com"}'

GET /api/metrics

Prometheus-format metrics endpoint for integration with Grafana, Prometheus, or compatible monitoring stacks.

GET /api/versions

API version discovery. Returns all available API versions and their stability status.

GET /api/openapi.json

Auto-generated OpenAPI 3.0 specification for all API endpoints.


Config Management Endpoints
