- # Signals
6
-
7
- **Added in:** `@mastra/core@1.39.0`
8
-
9
- Signals let you interact with an agent through a thread. Instead of starting every interaction with `agent.stream()`, subscribe to a thread and send messages or signals. Mastra wakes an idle agent or delivers input to its running loop; alternatively, it queues the input for the next turn.
10
-
11
- Use message APIs for user-authored input. Use `sendSignal()` for lower-level system context, such as background task notifications, policy reminders, or processor-generated context.
12
-
13
- > **📹 Watch:** Watch [Mastra signals overview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7It2y89TVP4) to see how signals wake and steer long-running agents.
14
-
15
- ## When to use signals
16
-
17
- Use signals when an agent thread needs new input or context outside the original `stream()` call. Signals are useful when users send follow-up messages while a run is active, when background systems need to add context to a thread, or when external events should wake, update, or notify the agent.
18
-
19
- Use `sendMessage()` and `queueMessage()` for user-authored input. Use `sendSignal()` for lower-level system context. Use `sendStateSignal()` for durable state lanes, and use `sendNotificationSignal()` when an external event should create a durable notification inbox record.
20
-
21
- ## Quickstart
22
-
23
- Create an agent, subscribe to a thread, then send a message to that thread. The subscription receives the active stream when the message wakes the agent or enters a running loop.
24
-
25
- ```typescript
26
- import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent'
27
-
28
- const agent = new Agent({
29
- id: 'support-agent',
30
- name: 'Support Agent',
31
- instructions: 'Help the user compare options.',
32
- model: 'openai/gpt-5.6-sol',
33
- })
34
-
35
- const thread = {
36
- resourceId: 'user_123',
37
- threadId: 'thread_456',
38
- }
39
-
40
- const subscription = await agent.subscribeToThread(thread)
41
-
42
- await agent.sendMessage('Compare that with the previous option.', thread)
43
-
44
- for await (const chunk of subscription.stream) {
45
- console.log(chunk)
46
- }
47
- ```
48
-
49
- When the thread has a running agent stream, `sendMessage()` becomes new input inside that agent loop. When the thread is idle, Mastra starts a stream with the message as the first input.
50
-
51
- ### Input during reasoning
52
-
53
- In the default loop and experimental durable and evented agents, accepted pending messages and signals interrupt a model request that has produced only reasoning or metadata. This includes the wait for its first token. Mastra cancels that request, discards its response from model history and memory, and includes queued input in the next request within the same run. Earlier completed responses stay in history.
54
-
55
- Once text, tool calls, or other response content starts, signals wait for the next loop boundary. Running tools aren't cancelled or repeated. If the run reaches `maxSteps`, queued input may be saved without a response. `queueMessage()` still waits for the active run to finish. Signals that processors write directly to the message history don't interrupt their own request.
56
-
57
- Interrupted requests don't count toward `maxSteps` or advance `stepNumber`. The next request uses the same logical step, so `maxSteps: 1` still allows a replacement response. Mastra doesn't set a separate interruption limit. Repeated signals can keep restarting reasoning until a request completes, the run is cancelled, or its total timeout expires.
58
-
59
- Already-streamed reasoning may remain visible until the client reloads history. When input arrives while per-step input processors (`processInputStep`) run, the processors finish and Mastra cancels the model request they prepared. Custom output processors also keep running after a cancellation, and the next request waits for their in-flight work to settle. Mastra discards framework-owned response buffers, but doesn't undo processor state, data that processors write while the cancelled request settles, or external side effects. Usage totals exclude interrupted requests, including any usage the provider reports for them. Providers may still bill for those requests.
60
-
61
- Reasoning interruption doesn't apply to the Inngest engine, or to durable and evented steps that run in a different process from the one that accepted the input.
62
-
63
- ## Message input
64
-
65
- ### Send a message now
66
-
67
- Use `sendMessage()` when the user expects the active agent to see the message immediately.
68
-
69
- ```typescript
70
- agent.sendMessage(
71
- {
72
- contents: 'Use the latest customer note too.',
73
- attributes: { name: 'Jane', sentFrom: 'slack' },
74
- },
75
- {
76
- resourceId: 'user_123',
77
- threadId: 'thread_456',
78
- },
79
- )
80
- ```
81
-
82
- The model receives attributed messages as XML-wrapped user input:
83
-
84
- ```xml
85
- <user name="Jane" sentFrom="slack">Use the latest customer note too.</user>
86
- ```
87
-
88
- Messages without attributes are sent as plain user input.
89
-
90
- ### Queue a message for the next turn
91
-
92
- Use `queueMessage()` when a user sends a follow-up but the active model call should finish first. Mastra waits for the active run to complete, then starts a new run on the same thread.
93
-
94
- ```typescript
95
- agent.queueMessage('Also check whether the tests need updates.', {
96
- resourceId: 'user_123',
97
- threadId: 'thread_456',
98
- })
99
- ```
100
-
101
- When the thread is idle, `queueMessage()` starts a run immediately. When the thread is active, it preserves turn order by starting a new run after the active run completes.
102
-
103
- ### Queue a typed signal for the next turn
104
-
105
- Use `queueSignal()` when system-generated input needs the same turn ordering as `queueMessage()` but should keep its own signal type, tag, and attributes. For example, a skill invocation can render as a `<skill>` element instead of a plain user message:
106
-
107
- ```typescript
108
- agent.queueSignal(
109
- {
110
- type: 'reactive',
111
- tagName: 'skill',
112
- attributes: { name: 'triage' },
113
- contents: 'Triage the new issue.',
114
- },
115
- { resourceId: 'user_123', threadId: 'thread_456' },
116
- )
117
- ```
118
-
119
- The model receives `<skill name="triage">Triage the new issue.</skill>`. Queued signals share the `queueMessage()` queue, so they count toward queue-count events and you can cancel them with `cancelQueuedMessages()`.
120
-
121
- When a signal starts a run, the run's `AGENT_RUN` span records the signal's `id`, `type`, `tagName`, and `attributes` under `attributes.signal`.
122
-
123
- ### Cancel pending input
124
-
125
- Use [`cancelQueuedMessages()`](https://mastra.ai/reference/agents/agent) to remove selected pending input without stopping the active run. Cancellation is scoped to the memory thread, including input submitted by other Agents sharing the same runtime and PubSub instance.
126
-
127
- The thread must still have a pending message to cancel. This example assumes a run is active when you queue the message. An idle thread starts the message immediately instead.
128
-
129
- ```typescript
130
- const queued = agent.queueMessage('Also check the tests.', thread)
131
- await queued.accepted
132
-
133
- const { cancelledSignalIds } = agent.cancelQueuedMessages({
134
- ...thread,
135
- signalIds: [queued.signal.id],
136
- })
137
- console.log(cancelledSignalIds)
138
- ```
139
-
140
- Only IDs removed locally by this call appear in `cancelledSignalIds`. Mastra still publishes every requested ID through PubSub, even when none are pending locally, so other processes subscribed to the thread can cancel their matching pending input. Because that propagation is asynchronous, the result doesn't confirm remote cancellation, and input that has already been handed to execution is out of reach. Cancellation doesn't delete saved messages, notification records, or state updates, and it never revokes an earlier acceptance acknowledgement.
141
-
142
- ### Stop the run and clear pending input
143
-
144
- By default, aborting a thread preserves its queued input. To clear pending signals before stopping the active run, pass `clearPendingSignals: true`:
145
-
146
- ```typescript
147
- subscription.abort({ clearPendingSignals: true })
148
- ```
149
-
150
- Without a subscription, use `agent.abortThreadStream({ ...thread, clearPendingSignals: true })`. Existing listeners stay subscribed after cancellation, and later messages can still start a new run.
151
-
152
- With a shared PubSub backend, the runtime receives remote signals, cancellation, and abort requests independently of `subscribeToThread()` observers. Clear-on-abort sends the clear flag to a remote active owner through PubSub, but it doesn't clear every process's local queues. Neither operation cancels continuations created by `continueWithMessages()`.
153
-
154
- ## Signal context
155
-
156
- ### Control low-level signal behavior
157
-
158
- Use `sendSignal()` when you need to send system-generated context instead of user-authored input. For external events, use `type: 'notification'`. By default, Mastra delivers signals to active runs and wakes idle threads. Use `ifActive.behavior` and `ifIdle.behavior` to change that behavior.
159
-
160
- ```typescript
161
- const result = agent.sendSignal(
162
- {
163
- type: 'notification',
164
- contents: 'GitHub CI failed on PR #123: 3 tests failed.',
165
- },
166
- {
167
- resourceId: 'user_123',
168
- threadId: 'thread_456',
169
- ifIdle: {
170
- behavior: 'persist',
171
- },
172
- },
173
- )
174
-
175
- await result.persisted
176
- ```
177
-
178
- Pass `ifIdle.streamOptions` when the idle wake-up stream needs options such as model settings, tools, or runtime context. Visit [`Agent.sendSignal()` reference](https://mastra.ai/reference/agents/agent) for `ifActive`, `ifIdle`, branch attributes, and `streamOptions`.
179
-
180
- ### Send notification context
181
-
182
- Signals have a semantic `type` and an LLM-facing `tagName`. Use `type` to describe the signal category. Use `tagName` to control the XML tag the model sees.
183
-
184
- For external events, use `type: 'notification'`. Reactive signals are reserved for processor- or runtime-generated context, such as policy guidance, background task results, and auto-loaded instructions.
185
-
186
- ```typescript
187
- agent.sendSignal(
188
- {
189
- type: 'notification',
190
- contents: 'PR #123 has a new review comment from User X about the API surface.',
191
- attributes: {
192
- source: 'github',
193
- pr: '123',
194
- },
195
- },
196
- {
197
- resourceId: 'user_123',
198
- threadId: 'thread_456',
199
- },
200
- )
201
- ```
202
-
203
- The model receives the signal as context like this:
204
-
205
- ```xml
206
- <notification source="github" pr="123">PR #123 has a new review comment from User X about the API surface.</notification>
207
- ```
208
-
209
- Use XML-safe `tagName` and attribute names. They can contain letters, numbers, periods, hyphens, and the underscore character (`_`). They must start with a letter or underscore.
210
-
211
- #### Storage support
212
-
213
- Notification inbox storage is available in the storage adapters that support richer memory and signal workflows: [libSQL](https://mastra.ai/integrations/databases/libsql), [PostgreSQL](https://mastra.ai/integrations/databases/postgresql), and [MongoDB](https://mastra.ai/integrations/databases/mongodb). These adapters expose notification records through `getStore('notifications')`.
214
-
215
- ### Send processor context
216
-
217
- Processors can send reactive signals during a run. A processor should inspect the chat history and react to a specific trigger without sending the same context more than once.
218
-
219
- The following example demonstrates a processor that injects `AGENTS.md` instructions after a tool call reads an `AGENTS.md` file.
220
-
221
- ```typescript
222
- import type { Processor, ProcessInputStepArgs } from '@mastra/core/processors'
223
-
224
- export const agentsMdReminderProcessor: Processor = {
225
- id: 'agents-md-reminder',
226
- async processInputStep({ messageList, sendSignal }: ProcessInputStepArgs) {
227
- const messages = messageList.get.all.db()
228
- const agentsMdPath = findAgentsMdPathFromToolCalls(messages)
229
-
230
- if (!agentsMdPath || hasAlreadySentAgentsMdReminder(messages, agentsMdPath)) {
231
- return messageList
232
- }
233
-
234
- await sendSignal?.({
235
- type: 'reactive',
236
- contents: readAgentsMdInstructions(agentsMdPath),
237
- attributes: {
238
- type: 'dynamic-agents-md',
239
- path: agentsMdPath,
240
- },
241
- metadata: {
242
- path: agentsMdPath,
243
- },
244
- })
245
-
246
- return messageList
247
- },
248
- }
249
- ```
250
-
251
- Reactive signals default to `tagName: 'system-reminder'`. The model receives this context as
252
-
253
- ```xml
254
- <system-reminder type="dynamic-agents-md" path="packages/ui/AGENTS.md">
255
- $agentsMdFileContents
256
- </system-reminder>
257
- ```
258
-
259
- Awaiting `sendSignal()` preserves stream echo ordering when a subscribed thread is active.
260
-
261
- ### Conditional attributes
262
-
263
- Use `ifActive.attributes` and `ifIdle.attributes` to tag input with context that depends on whether the agent is active or idle at delivery time. Top-level `attributes` always apply, and Mastra merges the selected branch's `attributes` into them when the input is accepted. Visit [`Agent.sendMessage()` reference](https://mastra.ai/reference/agents/agent) and [`Agent.sendSignal()` reference](https://mastra.ai/reference/agents/agent) for branch-specific attributes.
264
-
265
- ## State and notification signals
266
-
267
- ### State signals
268
-
269
- State signals expose named, thread-scoped context lanes. Use them for durable context that changes over time, such as browser state, editor state, or a background watcher result.
270
-
271
- Use `sendStateSignal()` when an external producer detects a state change. Each state signal identifies a state lane, a producer-owned cache key, and whether the update is a snapshot or delta.
272
-
273
- ```typescript
274
- await agent.sendStateSignal(
275
- {
276
- id: 'browser',
277
- mode: 'snapshot',
278
- cacheKey: 'browser:https://example.com:3-tabs',
279
- contents: 'Browser is open. Active tab URL: https://example.com. 3 open tabs.',
280
- value: {
281
- activeUrl: 'https://example.com',
282
- tabCount: 3,
283
- open: true,
284
- },
285
- },
286
- {
287
- resourceId: 'user_123',
288
- threadId: 'thread_456',
289
- },
290
- )
291
- ```
292
-
293
- When Mastra accepts a state signal, it stores compact tracking metadata on the thread. If a producer sends the same `cacheKey` and mode again while that state is still current, Mastra skips the duplicate.
294
-
295
- Use `computeStateSignal()` when a processor owns a state lane. Mastra calls it once per model input step after `processInputStep()`. Visit [`Agent.sendStateSignal()` reference](https://mastra.ai/reference/agents/agent) for state signal fields and return values.
296
-
297
- ```typescript
298
- import type { ComputeStateSignalArgs, Processor } from '@mastra/core/processors'
299
-
300
- export const browserStateProcessor: Processor = {
301
- id: 'browser-state',
302
- stateId: 'browser',
303
- computeStateSignal(args: ComputeStateSignalArgs) {
304
- const browser = readCurrentBrowserState()
305
- const previous = readMostRecentBrowserState(args.activeStateSignals)
306
- const changed = previous ? diffBrowserState(previous, browser) : browser
307
- const shouldRefreshSnapshot = Boolean(args.lastSnapshot && !args.contextWindow.hasSnapshot)
308
-
309
- if (previous && Object.keys(changed).length === 0 && !shouldRefreshSnapshot) {
310
- return
311
- }
312
-
313
- const isDelta = Boolean(previous && !shouldRefreshSnapshot)
314
-
315
- return {
316
- mode: isDelta ? 'delta' : 'snapshot',
317
- cacheKey: stableBrowserStateCacheKey(browser),
318
- contents: isDelta ? describeBrowserDelta(changed) : describeBrowserSnapshot(browser),
319
- value: browser,
320
- ...(isDelta ? { delta: changed } : {}),
321
- }
322
- },
323
- }
324
- ```
325
-
326
- Mastra passes `lastSnapshot` and `deltasSinceSnapshot` into `computeStateSignal()`. It resolves them from message history when the current message list doesn't contain the latest snapshot. The processor still owns merge and diff logic.
327
-
328
- `contextWindow.hasSnapshot` tells the processor whether the active message window already contains a snapshot for this state lane. If it's `false`, return a fresh `snapshot` so the model sees the current state even after older state messages are trimmed from the context window.
329
-
330
- The built-in browser context processor emits state under the `browser` id with snapshot and delta modes.
331
-
332
- ### Notification signals
333
-
334
- Notification signals represent external events such as GitHub activity, email, Slack mentions, CI status, incidents, recordings, or direct messages. Use `agent.sendNotificationSignal()` when the event should create a durable inbox record.
335
-
336
- Notification delivery has two phases. During ingress, `agent.sendNotificationSignal()` stores a notification record and resolves the agent's delivery policy. During dispatch, Mastra consumes due records and emits full notification or summary signals.
337
-
338
- The default delivery policy is priority-aware. Urgent notifications deliver immediately, while lower-priority notifications may be batched into summaries or wait until the thread is idle. Visit [`Agent.sendNotificationSignal()` reference](https://mastra.ai/reference/agents/agent) for notification fields, [`Agent` constructor reference](https://mastra.ai/reference/agents/agent) for `notifications.deliveryPolicy` configuration, and [`createNotificationInboxTool()` reference](https://mastra.ai/reference/signals/create-notification-inbox-tool) for inbox tool actions.
339
-
340
- ```typescript
341
- await agent.sendNotificationSignal(
342
- {
343
- source: 'github',
344
- kind: 'ci-status',
345
- priority: 'high',
346
- summary: 'CI failed on main: 3 tests failed.',
347
- payload: {
348
- repository: 'acme/app',
349
- branch: 'main',
350
- },
351
- dedupeKey: 'github:acme/app:main:ci',
352
- },
353
- {
354
- resourceId: 'user_123',
355
- threadId: 'thread_456',
356
- },
357
- )
358
- ```
359
-
360
- The model receives full notifications as context:
361
-
362
- ```xml
363
- <notification source="github" type="ci-status" priority="high" status="delivered">CI failed on main: 3 tests failed.</notification>
364
- ```
365
-
366
- Notification summaries tell the model that inbox records are waiting:
367
-
368
- ```xml
369
- <notification-summary pending="10">github: 3, email: 5, slack: 2</notification-summary>
370
- ```
371
-
372
- When Mastra emits a summary, it clears `summaryAt` and sets `summarySignalId` on each summarized record. The records stay pending and readable. When Mastra emits a full notification, it sets `deliveredSignalId` and marks the record `delivered`. If the inbox tool reads a notification first, it can inject the full notification signal and mark the record `seen`, which prevents duplicate full delivery.
373
-
374
- Configure a delivery policy on the agent when some notifications should wait for a different dispatch window or summary rollup. Enable scheduled dispatch at the Mastra level when deferred notifications and summary rollups should be delivered automatically. Visit [`Agent` constructor reference](https://mastra.ai/reference/agents/agent) for `notifications.deliveryPolicy` and [`Mastra` class reference](https://mastra.ai/reference/core/mastra-class) for runtime notification dispatch configuration.
375
-
376
- #### Notification inbox tool
377
-
378
- Use `createNotificationInboxTool()` to give agents one tool for inbox actions instead of many CRUD tools. Use `read` after a `<notification-summary>` signal when the agent needs the full records behind the summary. The notification contents are delivered as signals, not as normal tool output. Visit [`createNotificationInboxTool()` reference](https://mastra.ai/reference/signals/create-notification-inbox-tool) for the setup example, input schema, and action behavior.
379
-
380
- `sendNotificationSignal()` requires a storage domain with `notifications` support. Use `sendSignal({ type: 'notification' })` only for lower-level notification-shaped context that should bypass inbox storage.
381
-
382
- ## Cross-agent connections in Mastra Code
383
-
384
- Cross-agent communication is experimental and off by default. Enable it in Mastra Code with the `/settings` toggle "Experimental cross-agent communication" and restart. Embedded clients can set `crossAgentSignals: true` when calling `createMastraCode()`. The setting enables thread ownership advertisements and peer discovery. It also makes the agent connection tools available, and lets peer discovery reach instances in other projects on the same machine (see [Discover agents in other projects](#discover-agents-in-other-projects)).
385
-
386
- ```typescript
387
- import { createMastraCode } from 'mastracode'
388
-
389
- const mastraCode = await createMastraCode({
390
- crossAgentSignals: true,
391
- })
392
- ```
393
-
394
- Mastra Code can use notification signals to communicate between agent threads. A peer is an exact `{ agentId, resourceId, threadId }` endpoint. Discovery is a point-in-time advertisement that the exact endpoint is available now. It isn't a durable connection or a guarantee that delivery will succeed.
395
-
396
- `agent_connections_list` returns one `peers` collection. Each peer includes:
397
-
398
- - `relationship`: `none` or `saved`. This is the authoritative durable state for the current sender thread.
399
- - `presence`: `advertised` or `absent`. This reflects the current discovery pass.
400
- - `displayStatus`: A derived, presentational value: `discovered`, `connected`, or `saved`.
401
- - `canAttemptSend`: `true` only when the peer is both saved and currently advertised.
402
-
403
- The displayed statuses mean:
404
-
405
- | Status | Meaning | Can attempt a send? |
406
- | -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------- |
407
- | `[discovered]` | Advertised now, but not saved by the current sender thread. | No |
408
- | `[connected]` | Saved by the current sender thread and advertised now. | Yes |
409
- | `[saved]` | Saved by the current sender thread, but not advertised now. | No |
410
-
411
- Use the connection tools for distinct operations:
412
-
413
- - `agent_connect` saves a freshly discovered exact peer in the current sender thread.
414
- - `agent_disconnect` removes a saved peer from the current sender thread. The peer doesn't need to be currently advertised, and repeated disconnects are safe.
415
- - `agent_signal_send` requires the exact peer to remain saved and freshly advertised at send time. A previously discovered or recently seen peer that's absent from the current discovery pass isn't sendable.
416
-
417
- Saved connections remain in the sender thread until explicitly disconnected. Every send independently refreshes discovery and verifies the exact endpoint before routing begins. A saved connection therefore records collaboration intent. It doesn't indicate current presence.
418
-
419
- After a send attempt reaches Core routing, the routing result is authoritative. The result can be `wake`, `deliver`, `persist`, `blocked`, or `discard`, depending on the target thread and notification policy. A send that fails a direct delivery because no thread owner acknowledged it isn't lost: the signal stays pending in the target's notification inbox and the send reports `persist` instead of claiming delivery. The notification dispatcher retries that delivery on its own, so the sender doesn't need to resend it. The `messageId` isn't recorded in sent history and isn't rejected as a duplicate, although the pending notification still matches on it. A resend with the same `messageId` merges into that notification while it's pending, and delivers a second copy once the retry has succeeded. A send made with `expectsReply: true` returns an error there, because the reply obligation isn't established until the signal is delivered.
420
-
421
- When the delivery policy routes a signal to a notification summary rather than delivering it directly, the send records the `messageId`, so retrying with the same id reports a duplicate instead of routing again. A low-priority send always takes this route and reports `persist`. A high- or medium-priority send to an active thread takes it too, but there the summary signal is emitted immediately, so the send reports that signal's routing result (`wake`, `deliver`, or `persist`) and records the `messageId` the same way, including when `expectsReply: true`. Only when the policy schedules a summary without emitting a signal at send time does an `expectsReply: true` send fail to establish its reply obligation: it returns an error and doesn't record the send in sent history, so establishing the reply obligation takes a new signal at a priority that routes directly.
422
-
423
- ### Discover agents in other projects
424
-
425
- With cross-agent communication on, `agent_connections_list` lists Mastra Code instances in every project on the same machine, including the current one. An instance can connect to and message an instance in another project, and receive its replies. This needs Unix socket pub/sub. The Mastra Code CLI turns it on by default. Embedded clients pass `unixSocketPubSub: true` alongside `crossAgentSignals: true` to `createMastraCode()`. It doesn't apply in these cases:
426
-
427
- - On Windows.
428
- - When you pass your own `pubsub`.
429
- - When the resource ID, set through `MASTRA_RESOURCE_ID` or `resourceId` in `.mastracode/database.json`, can't be used as a directory name. That covers IDs that are empty, are longer than 128 characters, contain `/`, `\` or control characters, or equal `.`, `..` or `_shared`. Mastra Code logs one warning at startup, and the instance only lists instances that share its resource ID.
430
-
431
- Mastra Code routes a thread's messages and run leases to the socket directory of the thread's project. Thread-owner lookup and peer discovery, which lists the threads you can connect to, both run in a shared `/tmp/mc/_shared` directory. Instances running versions before this change can't see or be seen by updated instances, so restart every instance after updating.
432
-
433
- Any local process running as your user can list the threads your instances advertise and message them, so only turn on cross-agent communication on machines and accounts you trust.
434
-
435
- To isolate an instance or a test from the shared `/tmp/mc` directory, set `MASTRACODE_SIGNALS_SOCKET_ROOT` to another absolute path. Relative paths are ignored. Keep the path short, because macOS limits Unix socket paths to 104 bytes. The root also holds every thread's run and ownership leases. An instance with a different root doesn't coordinate threads with instances that use the default root.
436
-
437
- ## Distributed and serverless deployments
438
-
439
- Signals coordinate runs through a pub/sub backend. When a signal arrives on a backend that implements `LeaseProvider`, Mastra acquires a lease on the target thread so a single process owns the conversation at a time, then either wakes the agent or routes the input into the running loop. Backends without leasing fall back to a no-op that always grants ownership, which is fine in a single process but not across instances.
440
-
441
- The default in-memory pub/sub can't cross instance boundaries. On serverless platforms like Vercel, or any multi-instance deployment, a follow-up signal can be routed to a different instance than the one running the agent.
442
-
443
- Without a shared pub/sub, that instance can't reach the active run and starts its own, leaving the original run untouched and the thread processed twice.
444
-
445
- Configure a shared pub/sub backed by Redis Streams on the `Mastra` instance so leases and signals coordinate across instances:
446
-
447
- ```typescript
448
- import { Mastra } from '@mastra/core'
449
- import { RedisStreamsPubSub } from '@mastra/redis-streams'
450
-
451
- export const mastra = new Mastra({
452
- agents: { agent },
453
- pubsub: new RedisStreamsPubSub({
454
- url: process.env.REDIS_URL,
455
- keyPrefix: 'mastra:my-app',
456
- }),
457
- })
458
- ```
459
-
460
- `RedisStreamsPubSub` implements both the event delivery contract and distributed leasing. A single backend handles cross-instance signal delivery and lease ownership. Vercel's managed Redis integration and Upstash Redis both work well. For more on when a distributed pub/sub is needed, see the [PubSub guide](https://mastra.ai/docs/server/pubsub) and the [`RedisStreamsPubSub` reference](https://mastra.ai/reference/pubsub/redis-streams).
461
-
462
- ## Compatibility and APIs
463
-
464
- ### Compatibility
465
-
466
- Mastra still accepts legacy signal payloads such as `type: 'user-message'` and `type: 'system-reminder'`. It normalizes them internally to the new category and tag shape:
467
-
468
- - `type: 'user-message'`: Normalizes to `type: 'user'` and `tagName: 'user'`
469
- - `type: 'system-reminder'`: Normalizes to `type: 'reactive'` and `tagName: 'system-reminder'`
470
-
471
- Existing stored signal rows and older clients continue to load through the compatibility layer. New clients call the message routes when the server supports them. React's thread signal path falls back to the legacy `/signals` route when it detects an older server. Visit [Agent signals reference](https://mastra.ai/reference/agents/agent) for the full message, signal, and subscription types.
472
-
473
- ### Approve tool calls
474
-
475
- When a subscribed run pauses for tool approval, approve or decline the tool call with the subscription-native methods. The resumed chunks arrive through the existing thread subscription. Visit [`client.getAgent().sendToolApproval()` reference](https://mastra.ai/reference/client-js/agents) and [server agent routes](https://mastra.ai/reference/server/routes) for request and response shapes.
476
-
477
- ### Use HTTP routes
478
-
479
- If you call Mastra over HTTP directly, use `POST /api/agents/:agentId/send-message` for immediate messages and `POST /api/agents/:agentId/queue-message` for next-turn messages. For subscription-native tool approval, use `POST /api/agents/:agentId/send-tool-approval`. See [Server routes reference](https://mastra.ai/reference/server/routes) for request and response schemas.
480
-
481
- ### Use the client SDK
482
-
483
- The JavaScript client exposes thread signal APIs.
484
-
485
- Use `subscribeToThread()` before sending thread input so the client can render the stream that receives the input or wakes in response to it.
486
-
487
- ```typescript
488
- const agent = client.getAgent('supportAgent')
489
-
490
- const subscription = await agent.subscribeToThread({
491
- resourceId: 'user_123',
492
- threadId: 'thread_456',
493
- })
494
-
495
- await agent.sendMessage({
496
- message: 'Show the shorter version.',
497
- resourceId: 'user_123',
498
- threadId: 'thread_456',
499
- })
500
-
501
- await subscription.processDataStream({
502
- onChunk: chunk => {
503
- console.log(chunk)
504
- },
505
- reconnect: true,
506
- })
507
- ```
508
-
509
- Use `reconnect: true` for long-lived subscriptions. Visit [`client.getAgent().subscribeToThread()` reference](https://mastra.ai/reference/client-js/agents) for reconnect options.
510
-
511
- ### Keep custom SSE subscriptions alive
512
-
513
- If you expose your own Server-Sent Events (SSE) endpoint for thread subscriptions, send periodic heartbeat frames while the stream is idle. This keeps browsers, proxies, and load balancers from closing the connection before the next signal or model chunk arrives.
514
-
515
- The following example sends an SSE comment every 25 seconds:
516
-
517
- ```typescript
518
- const heartbeat = setInterval(() => {
519
- controller.enqueue(encoder.encode(': keep-alive\n\n'))
520
- }, 25_000)
521
-
522
- request.signal.addEventListener('abort', () => {
523
- clearInterval(heartbeat)
524
- })
525
- ```
526
-
527
- Use heartbeats together with client-side reconnect logic. Heartbeats reduce idle disconnects, while reconnects recover when the network or runtime still closes the stream.
