+---
+
+An agent (`ai.agent`) is a **bounded tool-calling loop**. Tools are your app’s Flows (and
+allowlisted MCP refs) — each step goes through `fx.call`. The loop stops at `maxSteps` or
+`budget.maxCostPerRun`.
+
+For developers who need a planner or support assistant without writing a custom tool runtime —
+declare the bag, run with `fx.run`.
+
+<Callout title="The one rule">
+  Pass Flow names (or handles) in `tools`, set `maxSteps` and `budget.maxCostPerRun`, then
+  `fx.run(agent, {message})`. There is no `instructions` / `in` / `out` on `ai.agent` — shape the
+  user message yourself.
+</Callout>
+
+## Smallest Example
+
+<Steps>
+
+<Step>
+### Declare model + agent
+
+```typescript title="src/core/ai.ts"
+import { ai } from "okengine";
+
+export const smart = ai.model("smart", {
+  provider: "openrouter",
+  model: "openrouter/free",
+  apiKey: process.env.OPENROUTER_API_KEY,
+});
+
+export const supportAgent = ai.agent("support.assistant", {
+  model: "smart",
+  tools: ["docs.search", "tickets.create"],
+  maxSteps: 5,
+  budget: { maxCostPerRun: 0.1 },
+});
+```
+
+</Step>
+
+<Step>
+### Run from a Flow
+
+```typescript title="src/flows/support/assist.ts"
+import { on, flow, http } from "okengine";
+import { z } from "zod";
+import { supportAgent } from "@/core/ai";
+import { member } from "@/core/gate";
+
+export const assist = on(
+  http.post().gate(member),
+  flow({
+    in: z.object({ query: z.string().min(1) }),
+    do: async ({ query }, fx) => {
+      return await fx.run(supportAgent, {
+        message: `Help the member: ${query}`,
+      });
+    },
+  }),
+);
+```
+
+Runtime records the agent name under `asks`. Prefer declaring `effects: { asks: ["support.assistant"] }`
+when inference does not see `fx.run`.
+
+</Step>
+
+<Step>
+### Bound termination
+
+Default `maxSteps` is **6** when omitted. Hitting the step cap ends the loop; exceeding
+`budget.maxCostPerRun` throws `AiBudgetExceededError`:
+`ai: agent "…" exceeded maxCostPerRun N`.
+
+</Step>
+
+</Steps>
+
+## Progressive Patterns
+
+<Tabs items={["Flow tools", "MCP tools", "Ask tools", "Budget"]}>
+
+<Tab value="Flow tools">
+
+String names or Flow handles — same capability path as `fx.call`:
+
+```typescript
+import { searchDocs } from "@/flows/docs/search";
+import { createTicket } from "@/flows/tickets/create";
+
+export const supportAgent = ai.agent("support.assistant", {
+  model: smart,
+  tools: [searchDocs, createTicket],
+  maxSteps: 8,
+});
+```
+
+</Tab>
+
+<Tab value="MCP tools">
+
+Outbound MCP refs join the same bag (`mcp:<server>/<tool>`):
+
+```typescript
+const github = ai.mcpServer("github", {
+  url: "https://mcp.example/github",
+  auth: { bearer: vault.secret("GITHUB_MCP_TOKEN") },
+  tools: ["create_issue"],
+});
+
+export const planner = ai.agent("planner", {
+  model: "smart",
+  tools: ["tasks.list", github.tool("create_issue")],
+  maxSteps: 8,
+  budget: { maxCostPerRun: 0.25 },
+});
+```
+
+See [MCP](/docs/elements/ai/mcp).
+
+</Tab>
+
+<Tab value="Ask tools">
+
+One-shot tool loop on `fx.ask` without a named agent:
+
+```typescript
+await fx.ask(triage, input, {
+  tools: ["docs.search"],
+  maxSteps: 3,
+});
+```
+
+</Tab>
+
+<Tab value="Budget">
+
+Run cost is on `budget`, not a top-level `maxCostPerRun` field:
+
+```typescript
+ai.agent("planner", {
+  tools: ["tasks.list", "tasks.create"],
+  budget: { maxCostPerRun: 0.25, maxCostPerCall: 0.05 },
+});
+```
+
+</Tab>
+
+</Tabs>
+
+## Options
+
+| Option     | Type                                  | Default     | Meaning                      |
+| ---------- | ------------------------------------- | ----------- | ---------------------------- |
+| `model`    | `AiModelDecl` \| `string`             | first model | Logical binding for the loop |
+| `tools`    | Flow / MCP refs                       | `[]`        | Callable via `fx.call`       |
+| `maxSteps` | `number`                              | `6`         | Hard cap on tool rounds      |
+| `budget`   | `{ maxCostPerCall?, maxCostPerRun? }` | —           | Cost contracts for the run   |
+
+## `fx.run` input
+
+Pass a string or `{ message: string }` (and any extra fields your tools need in context). The
+agent declaration does **not** take Zod `in` / `out` — validate on the surrounding Flow.
+
+```typescript
+await fx.run(supportAgent, "Summarize open tickets");
+await fx.run(supportAgent, { message: "Summarize open tickets" });
+```
+
+## Agents vs ask-with-tools
+
+| Surface                        | When                                         |
+| ------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------- |
+| `ai.agent` + `fx.run`          | Reusable tool bag, shared step/budget policy |
+| `fx.ask(prompt, …, { tools })` | One prompt, occasional tools                 |
+
+Both default `maxSteps` to `6`. Denied or unknown tools surface as
+`ai: all tool calls denied for prompt "…"` / `ai: model requested unknown tool "…"`.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+<Accordions>
+
+<Accordion title='ai: unknown agent "…"'>
+  `fx.run` named an agent that was never declared, or the declaring module was not imported before
+  `oke()`.
+</Accordion>

+</Accordion>
+
+<Accordion title='ai: model requested unknown tool "…"'>
+  The model emitted a tool name outside the declared `tools` bag. Align names with Flow / MCP refs,
+  or tighten instructions in the user `message`.

+
+AI is how your backend **calls a model as a declared effect**. Ticket triage, a weekly
+summary, a planner that tools your own Flows — each ask is a named prompt or agent with
+budgets, not an SDK call buried in `do`.
+
+For developers wiring OpenRouter or any OpenAI-compatible `/v1` endpoint — bind a model,
+mint a prompt, ask through `fx`.
+
+<Callout title="The one rule">
+  Declare `ai.model` → `model.prompt` (or `ai.agent` / `ai.embed`), then call through `fx.ask` /
+  `fx.run` / `fx.embed`. There is no top-level `ai.prompt`. Budgets and `maxSteps` are contracts;
+  PII to a third-party model needs explicit `allowPii`.

+Import this module before `oke()` so registries adopt the decls.

+  -H "accept: application/json" \
+  -H "content-type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"message":"Invoice double-charged last week"}'

+| `model.prompt` | `model.prompt(name, options?)` | Versioned prompt on that binding              |
+| `ai.agent`     | `ai.agent(name, options?)`     | Bounded tool-calling agent                    |
+| `ai.embed`     | `ai.embed(name, options?)`     | Embedding pipeline into `store.index`         |
+| `ai.mcpServer` | `ai.mcpServer(name, options)`  | Outbound MCP client (allowlisted tools)       |
+
+There is **no** `ai.prompt(...)` — mint prompts only via `model.prompt`.
+
+## `fx` surface
+
+| Method                           | Capability          | Meaning                                          |
+| -------------------------------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
+| `fx.ask(prompt, input?, opts?)`  | `asks`              | Complete a versioned prompt (optional tool loop) |
+| `fx.run(agent, input?)`          | `asks` (agent name) | Run a declared agent                             |
+| `fx.stream(model, opts?)`        | `asks`              | Token stream from a model binding                |
+| `fx.embed(model, text)`          | `embeds`            | Return a vector (does not write an index)        |

+Undeclared ask → **OKE1005** `UNDECLARED_ASK`. Undeclared embed → **OKE1009**.
+
+## Guardrails
+
+Budgets, version pins, step limits, and PII egress are contracts — not guidelines:
+
+<AiGuardrails />
+
+### PII egress
+
+Sending a `.pii()` field to a **third-party** provider fails the build unless the Flow
+declares `allowPii: true` (or `pii: "allow"`). `mock`, `local`, and `openai-compatible` are
+not third-party egress.
+
+<AiPiiEgress />
+
+```typescript
+flow({
+  allowPii: true,
+  do: async (input, fx) => fx.ask(triage, { email: input.email }),
+});
+```
+
+## Per-environment drivers
+
+`AiDriverId`: `mock` · `anthropic` · `openai-compatible` · `bedrock` · `vertex`.
+
+Boot implements `mock`, `anthropic`, and `openai-compatible`. `bedrock` / `vertex` are
+reserved and throw until implemented. Dev/test fall back to **`mock`** when unset — **prod
+must declare** `drivers.ai`.
+
+```typescript title="oke.config.ts"
+import { defineConfig } from "okengine/config";
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  drivers: {
+    ai: {
+      dev: "openai-compatible",
+      test: "mock",
+      prod: "openai-compatible",
+    },
+  },
+});
+```
+
+| Driver              | Runs as             | Best for                                       |
+| ------------------- | ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
+| `mock`              | In-process stub     | Tests, CI, no network                          |
+| `openai-compatible` | OpenAI HTTP API     | OpenRouter, cloud registries, any `/v1` server |
+| `anthropic`         | Native Messages API | Production Claude + reliable tools             |
+
+Env knobs: `OKE_AI_DRIVER`, `OKE_AI_URL` / `OPENAI_BASE_URL`, provider API keys.
+Compose does not pin inference — BYO URL + keys, or [OpenRouter](/docs/recipes/openrouter).
