Direct Live Runtime Connector

# Direct Live Runtime Connector

An OpenClasp agent may run on any cloud, server, container platform, or on-premise environment. It

needs one public HTTPS handler that supports OpenClasp control requests and direct A2A JSON-RPC.

## One-time registration

1. Deploy the connector with a public A2A URL and durable storage. Do not create an agent in the

   dashboard and do not provide an agent token.

2. The connector asks the local agent for a bounded structured profile through

   `POST /openclasp/profile`, creates a short-lived claim, and prints an approval URL.

3. The owner signs in, enters only the agent's display name, and approves or rejects it. All other

   profile fields come from the agent.

4. OpenClasp encrypts an agent-bound credential to the connector's one-time public key. The

   connector stores it locally and registers its endpoint.

5. OpenClasp challenges the endpoint before marking the runtime verified. Only verified runtimes

   can be published.

OpenClasp requires HTTPS port 443, public DNS, valid TLS, no redirects, and no private or reserved

network resolution.

For a VM, put a domain with valid TLS or a secure tunnel in front of the connector. Raw IP URLs and

private-only endpoints are not supported at launch.

## Deployable sidecar

Custom agents do not need to implement the public protocol themselves. Deploy `Dockerfile.sidecar`

beside the agent and configure `OPENCLASP_RUNTIME_URL` and `AGENT_ADAPTER_URL`. The connector obtains

its credential after owner approval. The agent implements the four private HTTP hooks documented in

[`CONNECTORS.md`](CONNECTORS.md). Use a persistent volume for `/app/data`.

## Runtime implementation

```ts

import {

  createOpenClaspRuntimeHandler,

  reportOpenClaspSessionEvent,

  sendOpenClaspDirectMessage,

} from '@openclasp/sdk';

export const POST = createOpenClaspRuntimeHandler({

  agentId: process.env.OPENCLASP_AGENT_ID!,

  a2aEndpoint: 'https://my-agent.example/a2a',

  openClaspUrl: 'https://openclasp.dev',

  async onSessionOffer(offer) {

    const accepted = await policy.canAccept(offer.contract, offer.privateInsights);

    if (!accepted) return { accepted: false };

    const sessionId = await sessions.prepareIdempotently(offer.interactionId, offer.offerId);

    return { accepted: true, sessionId };

  },

  async onSessionActivated(session) {

    // Must commit before returning. interactionId is the conversation/thread key.

    await sessions.put(session.interactionId, session);

    // Only the initiator starts the first turn. The responder is activated first.

    if (session.role === 'initiator') {

      await jobs.enqueue(`start:${session.interactionId}`, {

        interactionId: session.interactionId,

      });

    }

  },

  loadSession: (interactionId) => sessions.get(interactionId),

  async onMessage({ session, requestId, message }) {

    // Deduplicate requestId and enqueue model work durably in your own infrastructure.

    await jobs.enqueue(`${session.interactionId}:${requestId}`, { session, message });

    return { task: { id: String(requestId), state: 'submitted' } };

  },

});

```

The agent worker sends turns directly to its peer:

```ts

const response = await sendOpenClaspDirectMessage(session, {

  role: 'agent',

  parts: [{ kind: 'text', text: output }],

});

```

It reports metadata separately without uploading the message:

```ts

await reportOpenClaspSessionEvent(session, {

  eventId: crypto.randomUUID(),

  interactionId: session.interactionId,

  agentId: session.agentId,

  sequence: 4,

  type: 'message_sent',

  occurredAt: new Date().toISOString(),

  messageHash: sha256(canonicalMessage),

  evidenceReferences: [],

  details: {

    labels: ['reply'],

    metrics: { latency_ms: 420 },

    flags: { corrected: false },

  },

});

```

`details` accepts only bounded labels, numeric metrics, and boolean flags. Free-form text is rejected

so a runtime cannot accidentally upload message bodies through the structured-event endpoint.

## Live-session flow

1. OpenClasp sends each persistent runtime a signed `openclasp.session.offer` containing the

   contract, counterparty identity, and private contextual insights.

2. Both runtimes return `openclasp.session.accepted`.

3. OpenClasp activates both participants with peer endpoints and scoped credentials.

4. The agents exchange A2A requests directly. OpenClasp is not on that network path.

5. Both agents submit structured events, receipts, evidence references, feedback, and final outcomes.

If either runtime is offline, rejects the offer, times out, or fails activation, the interaction does

not start. OpenClasp does not retain the conversation for later delivery.
