The path tells the Agent SDK what to load. The filename becomes the capability&#39;s name.

It has two identifiers:</p><ul><li><strong><code>continuationToken</code></strong> tells a channel which conversation to resume. A Slack channel can use its thread ID. A GitHub channel can use the pull request. The built-in HTTP API returns an opaque token and rotates it after each accepted follow-up.</li><li><strong><code>sessionId</code></strong> identifies the stored session. Use it to stream events, inspect the session, resolve approvals, or bind a tool call to the session.</li></ul><p>Use the continuation token to keep talking. Use the session ID to observe or manage the conversation.</p><h2 id="how-do-i-see-what-an-agent-did" tabindex="-1">How do I see what an agent did? <a class="header-anchor" href="#how-do-i-see-what-an-agent-did" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;How do I see what an agent did?&quot;">​</a></h2><p>Each session writes an append-only NDJSON file: <code>sessions/&lt;id&gt;/events.ndjson</code>. It includes:</p><ul><li>Messages and streamed text</li><li>Requested tool calls and their results</li><li>Approval requests and decisions</li><li>Turn completion and token usage</li></ul><p>Sessions and their event streams survive server restarts. The playground renders the stream. Evals assert against it. The <code>agent-sdk trajectory</code> command turns a saved stream into a short summary.</p><p>When a run surprises you, inspect its event stream first. See <a href="./reference/sessions.html">Sessions and streaming</a> for every event.</p><h2 id="what-does-a-channel-control" tabindex="-1">What does a channel control? <a class="header-anchor" href="#what-does-a-channel-control" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;What does a channel control?&quot;">​</a></h2><p>A channel connects the agent to a surface such as HTTP, Slack, GitHub, or a custom webhook. It controls:</p><ul><li>Routes and input schemas</li><li>Authentication</li><li>Conversation identity</li><li>How replies return to the user</li></ul><p>The built-in HTTP session API is always available. Custom routes accept loopback callers by default. Add an auth policy before sharing them over a network.</p><p>Channels should also prepare deterministic input for the model. For example, a GitHub channel can fetch the pull request, collect the diff, and seed the workspace before the turn starts. The model can then focus on the review instead of gathering files.</p><p>See <a href="./reference/channels.html">Channels</a> for route and authentication details.</p><h2 id="where-does-a-turn-run" tabindex="-1">Where does a turn run? <a class="header-anchor" href="#where-does-a-turn-run" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;Where does a turn run?&quot;">​</a></h2><p>Choose a runtime in <code>agent/agent.ts</code>:</p><table tabindex="0"><thead><tr><th></th><th>Local (default)</th><th>Cloud</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Turn runs on</td><td>The server host</td><td>A Cursor cloud agent</td></tr><tr><td>Server tools</td><td>Supported</td><td>Supported when the server has <code>--public-url</code> or <code>--cloud-tools-url</code>; the cloud turn reaches them over authenticated HTTP MCP.

If your agent lives inside a large monorepo, set <code>defineAgent({ local: { cwd } })</code> to a clean directory or pass a separate <code>--state-root</code>.

It has two identifiers:</p><ul><li><strong><code>continuationToken</code></strong> tells a channel which conversation to resume. A Slack channel can use its thread ID. A GitHub channel can use the pull request. The built-in HTTP API returns an opaque token and rotates it after each accepted follow-up.</li><li><strong><code>sessionId</code></strong> identifies the stored session. Use it to stream events, inspect the session, resolve approvals, or bind a tool call to the session.</li></ul><p>Use the continuation token to keep talking. Use the session ID to observe or manage the conversation.</p><h2 id="how-do-i-see-what-an-agent-did" tabindex="-1">How do I see what an agent did? <a class="header-anchor" href="#how-do-i-see-what-an-agent-did" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;How do I see what an agent did?&quot;">​</a></h2><p>Each session writes an append-only NDJSON file: <code>sessions/&lt;id&gt;/events.ndjson</code>. It includes:</p><ul><li>Messages and streamed text</li><li>Requested tool calls and their results</li><li>Approval requests and decisions</li><li>Turn completion and token usage</li></ul><p>Sessions and their event streams survive server restarts. The playground renders the stream. Evals assert against it. The <code>agent-sdk trajectory</code> command turns a saved stream into a short summary.</p><p>When a run surprises you, inspect its event stream first. See <a href="./reference/sessions.html">Sessions and streaming</a> for every event.</p><h2 id="what-does-a-channel-control" tabindex="-1">What does a channel control? <a class="header-anchor" href="#what-does-a-channel-control" aria-label="Permalink to &quot;What does a channel control?&quot;">​</a></h2><p>A channel connects the agent to a surface such as HTTP, Slack, GitHub, or a custom webhook. It controls:</p><ul><li>Routes and input schemas</li><li>Authentication</li><li>Conversation identity</li><li>How replies return to the user</li></ul><p>The built-in HTTP session API is always available. Custom routes accept loopback callers by default. Add an auth policy before sharing them over a network.</p><p>Channels should also prepare deterministic input for the model. For example, a GitHub channel can fetch the pull request, collect the diff, and seed the workspace before the turn starts.
