Its weights contain broad latent structure, but they do not by themselves give you situated continuity, durable task state, calibrated action policies, or grounded memory management. Open Agents treats the model as one organ inside a larger organism. The framework provides the rest: sensors, effectors, memory stores, routing, gating, evaluation, and persistence.\n\n**What the framework provides:**\n\n| Layer | Biological Analog | Implementation |\n|---|---|---|\n| Associative core | Cortex | LLM weights (any size) |\n| Current workspace | Global workspace / attention | `assembleContext()` \u2014 structured context assembly |\n| Episodic memory | Hippocampus | `.oa/memory/` \u2014 write, search, retrieve across sessions |\n| Cognitive map | Hippocampal spatial maps | `semantic-map.ts` + `repo-map.ts` (PageRank) |\n| Action gating | Basal ganglia | Tool selection policy (task-aware filtering) |\n| Temporal hierarchy | Prefrontal executive | Task decomposition, sub-agent delegation |\n| Self-model | Metacognition | Environment snapshot, process health monitoring |\n| Skill chunks | Cerebellum | Compiled tools, slash commands, verified routines |\n| Safety / limits | Autonomic / immune system | Turn limits, budgets, timeout watchdogs |\n\nDon't chase larger models. Build the organism around whatever model you have.\n\n\n\n\n## How It Works\n\n<div align=\"right\"><a href=\"#top\">back to top</a></div>\n\n```\nYou: oa \"fix the null check in auth.ts\"\n\nAgent: [Turn 1] file_read(src/auth.ts)\n       [Turn 2] grep_search(pattern=\"null\", path=\"src/auth.ts\")\n       [Turn 3] file_edit(old_string=\"if (user)\", new_string=\"if (user != null)\")\n       [Turn 4] shell(command=\"npm test\")\n       [Turn 5] task_complete(summary=\"Fixed null check \u2014 all tests pass\")\n```\n\nThe agent uses tools autonomously in a loop \u2014 reading errors, fixing code, and re-running validation until the task succeeds or the turn limit is reached.\n\n\n\n\n## Features\n\n<div align=\"right\"><a href=\"#top\">back to top</a></div>\n\n- **61 autonomous tools** \u2014 file I/O, shell, grep, web search/fetch/crawl, memory (read/write/search), sub-agents, background tasks, image/OCR/PDF, git, diagnostics, vision, desktop automation, browser automation, temporal agency (scheduler/reminders/agenda), structured files, code sandbox, transcription, skills, opencode delegation, cron agents, nexus P2P networking + x402 micropayments, **COHERE cognitive stack** (persistent REPL, recursive LLM calls, memory metabolism, identity kernel, reflection, exploration)\n- **Moondream vision** \u2014 see and interact with the desktop via Moondream VLM (caption, query, detect, point-and-click)\n- **Desktop automation** \u2014 vision-guided clicking: describe a UI element in natural language, the agent finds and clicks it\n- **Auto-install desktop deps** \u2014 screenshot, mouse, OCR, and image tools auto-install missing system packages (scrot, xdotool, tesseract, imagemagick) on first use\n- **Parallel tool execution** \u2014 read-only tools run concurrently via `Promise.allSettled`\n- **Sub-agent delegation** \u2014 spawn independent agents for parallel workstreams\n- **OpenCode delegation** \u2014 offload coding tasks to opencode (sst/opencode) as an autonomous sub-agent with auto-install, progress monitoring, and result evaluation\n- **Long-horizon cron agents** \u2014 schedule recurring autonomous agent tasks with goals, completion criteria, execution history, and automatic evaluation (daily code reviews, weekly dep updates, continuous monitoring)\n- **Nexus P2P networking** \u2014 decentralized agent-to-agent communication via [open-agents-nexus](https://www.npmjs.com/package/open-agents-nexus).

http://localhost:11435/v1/profiles/frontend-dev\n```\n\n#### Parallelism & Concurrency\n\nThe daemon is built for **unbounded concurrent requests** with per-key enforcement. Every agentic task (`/v1/run`, `/v1/chat`, `/api/chat`, `/api/generate`) spawns its own subprocess, so multiple jobs run in true parallel \u2014 same model or different models, same or different profiles, same or different sandbox modes.\n\n**Per-key concurrency limits** are enforced from the `OA_API_KEYS` env var:\n\n```bash\n# key:scope:user:rpm:tpd:maxJobs\nOA_API_KEYS=\"ci-key:run:github-actions:60:100000:5, \\\n             ops-key:admin:ops:120:500000:20, \\\n             read-key:read:grafana:600::\"\noa serve\n```\n\nThe 6th field is `maxJobs` \u2014 the maximum number of **concurrent** (in-flight) agentic tasks for that key. When exceeded, the daemon returns **RFC 7807 `429 Too Many Requests`**:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"type\": \"https://openagents.nexus/problems/rate-limited\",\n  \"title\": \"Concurrent job limit exceeded\",\n  \"status\": 429,\n  \"detail\": \"Concurrent job limit exceeded for github-actions: 5/5\",\n  \"instance\": \"a1b2c3d4-...\"\n}\n```\n\n> **Previously this was dead code.** `maxJobs` was parsed but never checked \u2014 a CI key with `maxJobs:5` could spawn 50 concurrent subprocesses and OOM the host. Fixed in v0.187.189.\n\n**64-bit job IDs** \u2014 `job-${randomBytes(8).toString(\"hex\")}`. At 1M jobs the birthday-paradox collision risk drops from ~0.1% (old 24-bit IDs) to ~10\u207b\u00b9\u2070. Bumped in v0.187.189.\n\n**Atomic job record writes** \u2014 all 4 job state transitions (initial spawn, stream-exit, non-stream-exit, cancel) use `atomicJobWrite()` which writes to `.tmp` then `rename()`s. No race conditions between concurrent `DELETE /v1/runs/:id` and child-exit handlers. Fixed in v0.187.189.\n\n**Running concurrent jobs**:\n\n```bash\n# Fire 5 different jobs with 5 different models in parallel\nfor model in qwen3.5:4b qwen3.5:9b qwen3.5:32b qwen3.5:72b qwen3.5:122b; do\n  curl -s -X POST http://localhost:11435/v1/run \\\n    -H \"Authorization: Bearer $KEY\" \\\n    -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n    -d \"{\\\"task\\\":\\\"Describe $model in one sentence\\\",\\\"model\\\":\\\"$model\\\",\\\"stream\\\":false}\" &\ndone\nwait\n```\n\nEach subprocess inherits a **clean env** \u2014 `OA_DAEMON` and `OA_PORT` are explicitly stripped so the child doesn't re-enter daemon mode. Fixed in v0.187.189 (root cause of the earlier \"Task incomplete (0 turns, 0 tool calls)\" bug).\n\n**Observing parallelism live** \u2014 subscribe to the event bus to watch every job lifecycle event:\n\n```bash\ncurl -N 'http://localhost:11435/v1/events?type=run.*'\n```\n\nEvery spawn, completion, failure, and abort publishes to the bus:\n\n```\nevent: run.started\ndata: {\"type\":\"run.started\",\"ts\":\"2026-04-07T21:00:14Z\",\"data\":{\"run_id\":\"job-3a7c9f1e2b8d0a45\",\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"pid\":12345},\"subject\":\"ci-key\",\"aims:control\":\"A.6.2.6\"}\n\nevent: run.completed\ndata: {\"type\":\"run.completed\",\"ts\":\"2026-04-07T21:00:39Z\",\"data\":{\"run_id\":\"job-3a7c9f1e2b8d0a45\",\"exit_code\":0,\"summary\":\"...\"},\"subject\":\"ci-key\",\"aims:control\":\"A.6.2.6\"}\n```\n\n**Abort a running job** \u2014 SIGTERM the process group, then SIGKILL after 3s:\n\n```bash\ncurl -X DELETE http://localhost:11435/v1/runs/job-3a7c9f1e2b8d0a45 \\\n  -H \"Authorization: Bearer $KEY\"\n```\n\nAlso cleans up the Docker container if the job was spawned with `\"sandbox\":\"container\"`. Decrements the per-key `activeJobs` counter so the quota is immediately released. Publishes `run.aborted` on the event bus.\n\n**Safety timeout on `/v1/chat` + `/api/chat` + `/api/generate`** \u2014 the non-streaming paths bound the subprocess wait at `timeout_s + 30s` (default `180s + 30s = 210s`). If the child doesn't close in time, the daemon SIGTERMs then SIGKILLs it and returns an OpenAI-shaped `finish_reason:\"error\"` response with the real reason. Fixed in v0.187.191.\n\n**Tested end-to-end** \u2014 10 concurrent `/v1/skills` GETs, 3 concurrent `/v1/aims/incidents` POSTs (each gets a unique ID, no write races), 2 concurrent `/v1/events` SSE subscribers (both receive the same events). All covered by `packages/cli/tests/api-endpoint-matrix.test.ts`. 201/201 tests green.\n\n#### Endpoint Reference\n\n> **Verified against `open-agents-ai@0.187.191`.** Examples in earlier README revisions are deprecated.\n\n**Health & observability**\n| Method | Path | Auth | Description |\n|--------|------|------|-------------|\n| GET | `/health` | none | Liveness probe |\n| GET | `/health/ready` | none | Readiness (probes backend) |\n| GET | `/health/startup` | none | Startup complete |\n| GET | `/version` | none | Package version + platform |\n| GET | `/metrics` | none | Prometheus counters |\n| GET | `/v1/system` | read | GPU/RAM/CPU info + model recommendations |\n| GET | `/v1/audit` | read | Query audit log (since, user, limit filters) |\n| GET | `/v1/usage` | read | Token usage + per-key rate limit state |\n| GET | `/openapi.json` | none | OpenAPI 3.0 specification |\n| GET | `/docs` | none | Swagger UI |\n\n**OpenAI-compatible inference**\n| Method | Path | Auth | Description |\n|--------|------|------|-------------|\n| GET | `/v1/models` | read | List models (aggregated across endpoints) |\n| POST | `/v1/chat/completions` | read | Chat inference (sync + stream, OpenAI-shaped) |\n| POST | `/v1/embeddings` | read | Generate embeddings |\n| POST | `/api/embed` | read | **Ollama-compatible alias** of `/v1/embeddings`.

The endpoint runs the full OA agent (tools, multi-agent, memory, skills) under the hood and returns an **OpenAI `chat.completion`-shaped response** so any client SDK can use it without modification.\n\n**Both body shapes are accepted** on either path:\n\n```jsonc\n// OA-native\n{\"message\": \"hello\", \"model\": \"qwen3.5:9b\", \"stream\": false}\n\n// Ollama-native (the `messages` array; the last user message is extracted)\n{\"model\": \"qwen3.5:9b\", \"messages\": [{\"role\":\"user\",\"content\":\"hello\"}], \"stream\": false}\n```\n\n> **Two execution modes:**\n> - **Default (`tools` unset or `tools: true`)** \u2014 full agent: spawns the OA subprocess with the entire 82-tool set, runs the agent loop, returns the final answer with `tool_calls` metadata.\n> - **Direct (`tools: false`)** \u2014 fast path: bypasses the agent and forwards straight to the configured backend (Ollama/vLLM) using the session history. Useful for plain chat without tools.\n\n**Safety timeout** \u2014 every non-streaming request is bounded by `timeout_s` (default **180s**). If the agent subprocess doesn't close in `timeout_s + 30s`, the daemon SIGTERMs (then SIGKILLs) it and returns an OpenAI-shaped error with `finish_reason:\"error\"` and a clear explanation. No more hung requests.\n\n**Flip Ollama \u2192 OA by port alone** \u2014 this is verified to work via `scripts/oa-vs-ollama-chat-compare.sh` (see [Live Comparison](#live-comparison-ollama-vs-oa-full-agent) below):\n\n```bash\n# Before (Ollama)\ncurl -s http://127.0.0.1:11434/api/chat -d '{\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"messages\":[{\"role\":\"user\",\"content\":\"hi\"}],\"stream\":false}'\n\n# After (OA with full agent) \u2014 only port changed\ncurl -s http://127.0.0.1:11435/api/chat -d '{\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"messages\":[{\"role\":\"user\",\"content\":\"hi\"}],\"stream\":false}'\n```\n\n```bash\n# DEFAULT: full agent \u2014 multi-step tool use, memory, the works.\n# Returns OpenAI chat.completion shape with the assistant's final answer.\ncurl -s http://localhost:11435/v1/chat \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d '{\n    \"message\": \"Search for today'\\''s top tech news, summarize the top 3 stories.\",\n    \"model\": \"qwen3.5:9b\",\n    \"stream\": false\n  }'\n```\n\n**Successful response (OpenAI chat.completion shape):**\n```json\n{\n  \"id\": \"chatcmpl-7d0f5b162036\",\n  \"object\": \"chat.completion\",\n  \"created\": 1775593132,\n  \"model\": \"qwen3.5:9b\",\n  \"choices\": [{\n    \"index\": 0,\n    \"message\": {\n      \"role\": \"assistant\",\n      \"content\": \"Based on a web search of today's top tech headlines:\\n\\n1. ...\\n2. ...\\n3. ...\"\n    },\n    \"finish_reason\": \"stop\"\n  }],\n  \"usage\": {\n    \"prompt_tokens\": 412,\n    \"completion_tokens\": 287,\n    \"total_tokens\": 699\n  },\n  \"session_id\": \"7d0f5b16-2036-49eb-9fb3-1e6bcb9b0c88\",\n  \"tool_calls\": 4,\n  \"duration_ms\": 18432\n}\n```\n\n**Failure response (also OpenAI-shaped, so clients still parse it):**\n```json\n{\n  \"id\": \"chatcmpl-...\",\n  \"object\": \"chat.completion\",\n  \"created\": 1775593132,\n  \"model\": \"qwen3.5:9b\",\n  \"choices\": [{\n    \"index\": 0,\n    \"message\": {\n      \"role\": \"assistant\",\n      \"content\": \"Backend error: Backend HTTP 500: model failed to load, this may be due to resource limitations\"\n    },\n    \"finish_reason\": \"error\"\n  }],\n  \"usage\": {\"prompt_tokens\": 0, \"completion_tokens\": 0, \"total_tokens\": 0},\n  \"session_id\": \"...\",\n  \"tool_calls\": 0,\n  \"duration_ms\": 3691,\n  \"error\": \"Backend HTTP 500: ...\"\n}\n```\n\n`finish_reason=\"error\"` is the signal \u2014 the response is still parseable as a normal chat.completion, but the content carries the real backend error rather than hiding behind a 500. Earlier versions returned junk like `\"i Knowledge graph: 74 nodes, 219 active edges i Episodes captured: 1 this session \u26a0 Task incomplete (0 turns, 0 tool calls, 1.4s)\"` \u2014 that was a status-fragment leakage bug fixed in v0.187.189.\n\n**Direct mode** (no agent, just the backend \u2014 fast path for plain chats):\n```bash\ncurl -s http://localhost:11435/v1/chat \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d '{\n    \"message\": \"Hello!\",\n    \"model\": \"qwen3.5:9b\",\n    \"tools\": false,\n    \"stream\": false\n  }'\n```\nReturns the same OpenAI shape, but typically in <1s because there's no subprocess + no agent loop.\n\n**Streaming response (`\"stream\": true`)** \u2014 Server-Sent Events with OpenAI delta chunks:\n```\ndata: {\"id\":\"chatcmpl-7d0f5b16\",\"object\":\"chat.completion.chunk\",\"created\":1775593132,\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"choices\":[{\"index\":0,\"delta\":{\"content\":\"Based\"},\"finish_reason\":null}]}\ndata: {\"id\":\"chatcmpl-7d0f5b16\",\"object\":\"chat.completion.chunk\",\"created\":1775593132,\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"choices\":[{\"index\":0,\"delta\":{\"content\":\" on\"},\"finish_reason\":null}]}\ndata: {\"type\":\"tool_call\",\"tool\":\"web_search\",\"args\":{\"query\":\"tech news today\"}}\ndata: {\"id\":\"chatcmpl-7d0f5b16\",\"object\":\"chat.completion.chunk\",\"created\":1775593132,\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"choices\":[{\"index\":0,\"delta\":{\"content\":\" the search results\"},\"finish_reason\":null}]}\ndata: {\"id\":\"chatcmpl-7d0f5b16\",\"object\":\"chat.completion.chunk\",\"created\":1775593132,\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"choices\":[{\"index\":0,\"delta\":{},\"finish_reason\":\"stop\"}]}\ndata: [DONE]\n```\n\n**Session continuity:**\n```bash\n# First turn \u2014 server assigns a session_id (in response body and X-Session-ID header)\nSID=$(curl -s http://localhost:11435/v1/chat \\\n  -d '{\"message\":\"My name is Alice\",\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"stream\":false}' \\\n  | python3 -c 'import json,sys;print(json.load(sys.stdin)[\"session_id\"])')\n\n# Subsequent turn \u2014 pass session_id back\ncurl -s http://localhost:11435/v1/chat \\\n  -d \"{\\\"session_id\\\":\\\"$SID\\\",\\\"message\\\":\\\"What is my name?\\\",\\\"model\\\":\\\"qwen3.5:9b\\\",\\\"stream\\\":false}\"\n```\n\nSessions expire after 30 minutes of inactivity.

It runs **5 tool-call-required prompts** \u00d7 **4 phases** (Ollama non-stream, OA non-stream, Ollama stream, OA stream) = **20 runs per invocation** with the same model and the same `/api/chat` path on both ports.\n\n```bash\nMODEL=qwen3.5:9b bash scripts/oa-vs-ollama-chat-compare.sh\n```\n\n**Results from `open-agents-ai@0.187.191` with `qwen3.5:9b`** (all 20 runs completed, zero timeouts):\n\n| # | Prompt | Ollama (bare) | Open Agents (full agent) | Winner |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 1 | \"Latest stable Node.js version + source URL\" | \u274c **v22.10.0** \u2014 hallucinated from Aug-2024 training cutoff | \u2705 **v25.9.0** fetched from `nodejs.org/download/current`, **3 tool calls** (`web_search` \u2192 `web_fetch` \u2192 `task_complete`) | **OA** |\n| 2 | \"Biggest tech news this week + source URL\" | \u274c \"I don't have real-time access\" + generic AI trend guess | \u2705 **Anthropic Mythos, Intel Terafab, Apple foldable, Russian router breach, Firmus $5.5B** \u2014 sourced from TechCrunch, **4 tool calls** | **OA** |\n| 3 | \"Current OS, CPU cores, free memory \u2014 use shell tools\" | \u274c Confabulated **\"Linux / 8 cores / 6.1 GB\"** (all wrong) | \u2705 **Ubuntu 24.04.2 / 48 cores / 120 GB** (all correct), **6\u20137 shell tool calls** | **OA** |\n| 4 | \"List files in cwd, count top level, most recent\" | \u274c \"I cannot access your filesystem\" | \u2705 **20 files, 50+ dirs, `.claude.json` (81 KB, 09:09 UTC)** via `list_directory`, **2 tool calls** | **OA** |\n| 5 | \"2022 FIFA World Cup final winner + score\" (both endpoints have this in training data) | \u2705 Argentina 4\u20132 France | \u2705 Argentina 3\u20133 France, **4\u20132 on penalties at Lusail Stadium, Dec 18 2022** \u2014 grounded with 4 tool calls | **Tie (OA more detailed)** |\n\n**Latency profile** (wall clock, 5-prompt median):\n\n| Phase | Ollama | OA agent | OA overhead |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| Non-streaming | 12\u201318s | 24\u201342s | 12\u201326s (agent loop + tool calls) |\n| Streaming SSE | 11\u201316s | 24\u201356s | 10\u201340s |\n\n**Streaming parser validation** \u2014 every OA stream delivered:\n- Live intermediate `tool_call` events mid-stream (e.g. `['web_search', 'web_fetch', 'task_complete']`)\n- OpenAI `chat.completion.chunk` deltas with `id`, `model`, `finish_reason`\n- Clean `data: [DONE]` termination with `finish_reason:\"stop\"`\n\nThe harness is **reproducible** \u2014 rerun it after any `/v1/chat` change to catch regressions:\n\n```bash\nMODEL=qwen3.5:4b bash scripts/oa-vs-ollama-chat-compare.sh       # faster tier for quick smoke\nMODEL=qwen3.5:9b OA_TIMEOUT=300 bash scripts/oa-vs-ollama-chat-compare.sh   # default\nMODEL=qwen3.5:32b OA_TIMEOUT=600 bash scripts/oa-vs-ollama-chat-compare.sh  # higher tier\n```\n\n**Bottom line**: for any question that needs fresh data, system access, or filesystem visibility \u2014 bare Ollama is wrong or refuses; OA with the full agent is correct with citations. That's the differentiator captured live in the harness output.\n\n#### One-Off Completions \u2014 `/api/generate` + `/v1/generate`\n\nDrop-in for **Ollama `/api/generate`**. Same body shape, same response shape, same port-swap semantics as `/api/chat`. No session history \u2014 pure one-shot completion. The full agent runs under the hood by default (`tools: true`), returning the final `assistant_text` wrapped in Ollama's shape.\n\n```bash\n# Ollama (bare LLM)\ncurl -s http://127.0.0.1:11434/api/generate \\\n  -d '{\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"prompt\":\"Name 3 open-source databases.\",\"stream\":false}'\n\n# OA with full agent \u2014 only port changed\ncurl -s http://127.0.0.1:11435/api/generate \\\n  -d '{\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"prompt\":\"Name 3 open-source databases.\",\"stream\":false}'\n\n# OA direct backend bypass (fast path, no agent)\ncurl -s http://127.0.0.1:11435/api/generate \\\n  -d '{\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"prompt\":\"Name 3 open-source databases.\",\"stream\":false,\"tools\":false}'\n```\n\n**Response shape** \u2014 Ollama-native so any client parsing `done`, `response`, `total_duration` keeps working:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"model\": \"qwen3.5:9b\",\n  \"created_at\": \"2026-04-07T22:01:08Z\",\n  \"response\": \"1. PostgreSQL\\n2. MongoDB\\n3.

Strict Ollama clients ignore unknown fields \u2014 no client changes required.\n\n**Streaming** \u2014 set `\"stream\": true` and receive Ollama-style NDJSON chunks:\n\n```\n{\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"created_at\":\"...\",\"response\":\"\",\"done\":false,\"_oa\":{\"type\":\"tool_call\",\"tool\":\"web_search\",\"args\":{...}}}\n{\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"created_at\":\"...\",\"response\":\"PostgreSQL...\",\"done\":false}\n{\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"created_at\":\"...\",\"response\":\"...\",\"done\":true,\"done_reason\":\"stop\",\"total_duration\":18000000000,\"eval_count\":45}\n```\n\nTool-call events appear as NDJSON frames with `_oa.type: \"tool_call\"` interleaved between content frames.\n\n#### Embeddings \u2014 `/v1/embeddings` + `/api/embed`\n\nDrop-in for Ollama `/api/embed` (returns Ollama's `{embeddings: [[...]]}` shape) **and** OpenAI `/v1/embeddings` (returns OpenAI's `{object:\"list\", data: [{object:\"embedding\", embedding:[...], index: 0}]}` shape). The endpoint path determines the response shape; both wire to the same backend embedding model.\n\n```bash\n# Ollama shape\ncurl -s http://127.0.0.1:11435/api/embed \\\n  -d '{\"model\":\"nomic-embed-text\",\"input\":\"hello world\"}'\n\n# OpenAI shape\ncurl -s http://127.0.0.1:11435/v1/embeddings \\\n  -d '{\"model\":\"nomic-embed-text\",\"input\":\"hello world\"}'\n```\n\nBoth paths accept `{input: \"...\"}` or `{prompt: \"...\"}` in the body, and both support `input: [\"a\",\"b\",\"c\"]` for batched embeddings.\n\n#### Memory Recall + Knowledge Graph \u2014 `/v1/memory/*`\n\nBacked by `@open-agents/memory` (SQLite + better-sqlite3). The endpoints expose the daemon's persistent memory stores that the agent uses under the hood.\n\n```bash\n# Backend summary\ncurl -s http://127.0.0.1:11435/v1/memory\n\n# Write a memory entry (run scope)\ncurl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:11435/v1/memory/write \\\n  -d '{\"kind\":\"fact\",\"content\":\"PostgreSQL supports JSONB indexing via GIN.\",\"tags\":[\"db\",\"postgres\"]}'\n\n# Semantic/keyword search (returns ranked episodes)\ncurl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:11435/v1/memory/search \\\n  -d '{\"query\":\"postgres indexing\",\"limit\":5}'\n\n# Paginated episode walk (knowledge graph)\ncurl -s 'http://127.0.0.1:11435/v1/memory/episodes?limit=10'\n\n# Paginated failure store (anti-patterns)\ncurl -s 'http://127.0.0.1:11435/v1/memory/failures?limit=10'\n```\n\n**Example search response** \u2014 search returns real episode records with timestamps, content, importance scores, and retrieval counts:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"query\": \"sorting algorithm complexity\",\n  \"results\": [\n    {\n      \"kind\": \"episode\",\n      \"id\": \"89e5b7f3-e6ee-462f-97fa-e9f1bbec3d73\",\n      \"timestamp\": 1775599267977,\n      \"content\": \"The QuickSort algorithm has average O(n log n), worst case O(n\u00b2)\",\n      \"contentHash\": \"fd43a4bc9bfbec3b\",\n      \"importance\": 0.5,\n      \"decayClass\": \"daily\",\n      \"strength\": 2,\n      \"lastRetrieved\": 1775599267983\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\nThe `strength` and `lastRetrieved` fields are updated on every search \u2014 the store keeps a read-count that decays over time, matching the spaced-repetition model used by the agent for context selection.\n\n#### Generate/Embed/Memory Test Harness\n\nA second harness at [`scripts/oa-vs-ollama-generate-embed-memory.sh`](scripts/oa-vs-ollama-generate-embed-memory.sh) covers the four non-chat endpoint families:\n\n```bash\nMODEL=qwen3.5:9b EMBED_MODEL=nomic-embed-text \\\n  bash scripts/oa-vs-ollama-generate-embed-memory.sh\n```\n\n**Tested results from `open-agents-ai@0.187.195`** (live, single run, `qwen3.5:9b` + `nomic-embed-text`):\n\n**Part 1 \u2014 `/api/generate` one-off prompts**:\n\n| Prompt | Ollama | OA direct | OA full agent |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| \"TCP vs UDP in one sentence\" | 26.8s \u2014 correct | 12.5s \u2014 correct | 43.8s \u2014 correct, **1 tool call** |\n| \"One-line Python square function\" | 32.1s \u2014 correct | 12.2s \u2014 correct | ~3min \u2014 correct, **2 tool calls** |\n| \"Name 3 open-source databases\" | 36.6s \u2014 Postgres/MySQL/SQLite | 21.0s \u2014 Postgres/MySQL/MongoDB | 18.2s \u2014 Postgres/MongoDB/Redis |\n\n**Part 2 \u2014 `/api/embed` cosine similarity sanity** (4 test sentences):\n\nBoth Ollama and OA emitted **identical 768-dim vectors** (same backend).

Its weights contain broad latent structure, but they do not by themselves give you situated continuity, durable task state, calibrated action policies, or grounded memory management. Open Agents treats the model as one organ inside a larger organism. The framework provides the rest: sensors, effectors, memory stores, routing, gating, evaluation, and persistence.\n\n**What the framework provides:**\n\n| Layer | Biological Analog | Implementation |\n|---|---|---|\n| Associative core | Cortex | LLM weights (any size) |\n| Current workspace | Global workspace / attention | `assembleContext()` — structured context assembly |\n| Episodic memory | Hippocampus | `.oa/memory/` — write, search, retrieve across sessions |\n| Cognitive map | Hippocampal spatial maps | `semantic-map.ts` + `repo-map.ts` (PageRank) |\n| Action gating | Basal ganglia | Tool selection policy (task-aware filtering) |\n| Temporal hierarchy | Prefrontal executive | Task decomposition, sub-agent delegation |\n| Self-model | Metacognition | Environment snapshot, process health monitoring |\n| Skill chunks | Cerebellum | Compiled tools, slash commands, verified routines |\n| Safety / limits | Autonomic / immune system | Turn limits, budgets, timeout watchdogs |\n\nDon't chase larger models. Build the organism around whatever model you have.\n\n\n\n\n## How It Works\n\n<div align=\"right\"><a href=\"#top\">back to top</a></div>\n\n```\nYou: oa \"fix the null check in auth.ts\"\n\nAgent: [Turn 1] file_read(src/auth.ts)\n       [Turn 2] grep_search(pattern=\"null\", path=\"src/auth.ts\")\n       [Turn 3] file_edit(old_string=\"if (user)\", new_string=\"if (user != null)\")\n       [Turn 4] shell(command=\"npm test\")\n       [Turn 5] task_complete(summary=\"Fixed null check — all tests pass\")\n```\n\nThe agent uses tools autonomously in a loop — reading errors, fixing code, and re-running validation until the task succeeds or the turn limit is reached.\n\n\n\n\n## Features\n\n<div align=\"right\"><a href=\"#top\">back to top</a></div>\n\n- **61 autonomous tools** — file I/O, shell, grep, web search/fetch/crawl, memory (read/write/search), sub-agents, background tasks, image/OCR/PDF, git, diagnostics, vision, desktop automation, browser automation, temporal agency (scheduler/reminders/agenda), structured files, code sandbox, transcription, skills, opencode delegation, cron agents, nexus P2P networking + x402 micropayments, **COHERE cognitive stack** (persistent REPL, recursive LLM calls, memory metabolism, identity kernel, reflection, exploration)\n- **Moondream vision** — see and interact with the desktop via Moondream VLM (caption, query, detect, point-and-click)\n- **Desktop automation** — vision-guided clicking: describe a UI element in natural language, the agent finds and clicks it\n- **Auto-install desktop deps** — screenshot, mouse, OCR, and image tools auto-install missing system packages (scrot, xdotool, tesseract, imagemagick) on first use\n- **Parallel tool execution** — read-only tools run concurrently via `Promise.allSettled`\n- **Sub-agent delegation** — spawn independent agents for parallel workstreams\n- **OpenCode delegation** — offload coding tasks to opencode (sst/opencode) as an autonomous sub-agent with auto-install, progress monitoring, and result evaluation\n- **Long-horizon cron agents** — schedule recurring autonomous agent tasks with goals, completion criteria, execution history, and automatic evaluation (daily code reviews, weekly dep updates, continuous monitoring)\n- **Nexus P2P networking** — decentralized agent-to-agent communication via [open-agents-nexus](https://www.npmjs.com/package/open-agents-nexus).

It exposes the **full OA capability surface** through standards most organizations expect:\n\n- **OpenAI / Ollama drop-in** — `/v1/chat`, `/v1/chat/completions`, `/v1/embeddings`, `/v1/models` are wire-compatible with both ecosystems\n- **Agentic execution** — `/v1/run` spawns the full coding agent with tool profiles and sandbox modes\n- **AIWG cascade** — `/v1/aiwg/*` exposes the AI Writing Guide (5 frameworks, 19 addons, 136+ skills) with model-tier-aware loading that never overflows small-model context\n- **ISO/IEC 42001:2023 AIMS layer** — `/v1/aims/*` for AI Management System policies, impact assessments, model cards, incident registers, oversight gates, and config history\n- **Memory + skills + MCP + sessions + cost** — every TUI subsystem has a REST surface\n- **RFC 7807 Problem Details** for errors (`application/problem+json`)\n- **`{data, pagination}`** envelope for every list endpoint\n- **Weak ETag + `If-None-Match` → 304** on cacheable GETs\n- **`X-API-Version`** header on every response (REST contract semver, distinct from package version)\n- **`X-Request-ID`** echoed or generated for correlation\n- **SSE event bus** at `/v1/events` with optional `?type=foo.*` filter, tagged with `aims:control` for auditors\n- **Bearer auth + scoped keys** (`read` / `run` / `admin`) and OIDC JWT support\n- **Per-key concurrency limits** (`maxJobs` in `OA_API_KEYS` is now actually enforced)\n- **Atomic job record writes** with 64-bit job IDs (no race conditions)\n- **OpenAPI 3.0** at `/openapi.json` and Swagger UI at `/docs`\n- **Web chat UI** at `/`\n\n> **Daemon auto-start.** After `npm i -g open-agents-ai`, the daemon comes online automatically. Verify with `systemctl --user status open-agents-daemon` (Linux) or `launchctl print gui/$(id -u)/ai.open-agents.daemon` (macOS).

http://localhost:11435/v1/profiles/frontend-dev\n```\n\n#### Parallelism & Concurrency\n\nThe daemon is built for **unbounded concurrent requests** with per-key enforcement. Every agentic task (`/v1/run`, `/v1/chat`, `/api/chat`, `/api/generate`) spawns its own subprocess, so multiple jobs run in true parallel — same model or different models, same or different profiles, same or different sandbox modes.\n\n**Per-key concurrency limits** are enforced from the `OA_API_KEYS` env var:\n\n```bash\n# key:scope:user:rpm:tpd:maxJobs\nOA_API_KEYS=\"ci-key:run:github-actions:60:100000:5, \\\n             ops-key:admin:ops:120:500000:20, \\\n             read-key:read:grafana:600::\"\noa serve\n```\n\nThe 6th field is `maxJobs` — the maximum number of **concurrent** (in-flight) agentic tasks for that key. When exceeded, the daemon returns **RFC 7807 `429 Too Many Requests`**:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"type\": \"https://openagents.nexus/problems/rate-limited\",\n  \"title\": \"Concurrent job limit exceeded\",\n  \"status\": 429,\n  \"detail\": \"Concurrent job limit exceeded for github-actions: 5/5\",\n  \"instance\": \"a1b2c3d4-...\"\n}\n```\n\n> **Previously this was dead code.** `maxJobs` was parsed but never checked — a CI key with `maxJobs:5` could spawn 50 concurrent subprocesses and OOM the host. Fixed in v0.187.189.\n\n**64-bit job IDs** — `job-${randomBytes(8).toString(\"hex\")}`. At 1M jobs the birthday-paradox collision risk drops from ~0.1% (old 24-bit IDs) to ~10⁻¹⁰. Bumped in v0.187.189.\n\n**Atomic job record writes** — all 4 job state transitions (initial spawn, stream-exit, non-stream-exit, cancel) use `atomicJobWrite()` which writes to `.tmp` then `rename()`s. No race conditions between concurrent `DELETE /v1/runs/:id` and child-exit handlers. Fixed in v0.187.189.\n\n**Running concurrent jobs**:\n\n```bash\n# Fire 5 different jobs with 5 different models in parallel\nfor model in qwen3.5:4b qwen3.5:9b qwen3.5:32b qwen3.5:72b qwen3.5:122b; do\n  curl -s -X POST http://localhost:11435/v1/run \\\n    -H \"Authorization: Bearer $KEY\" \\\n    -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n    -d \"{\\\"task\\\":\\\"Describe $model in one sentence\\\",\\\"model\\\":\\\"$model\\\",\\\"stream\\\":false}\" &\ndone\nwait\n```\n\nEach subprocess inherits a **clean env** — `OA_DAEMON` and `OA_PORT` are explicitly stripped so the child doesn't re-enter daemon mode. Fixed in v0.187.189 (root cause of the earlier \"Task incomplete (0 turns, 0 tool calls)\" bug).\n\n**Observing parallelism live** — subscribe to the event bus to watch every job lifecycle event:\n\n```bash\ncurl -N 'http://localhost:11435/v1/events?type=run.*'\n```\n\nEvery spawn, completion, failure, and abort publishes to the bus:\n\n```\nevent: run.started\ndata: {\"type\":\"run.started\",\"ts\":\"2026-04-07T21:00:14Z\",\"data\":{\"run_id\":\"job-3a7c9f1e2b8d0a45\",\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"pid\":12345},\"subject\":\"ci-key\",\"aims:control\":\"A.6.2.6\"}\n\nevent: run.completed\ndata: {\"type\":\"run.completed\",\"ts\":\"2026-04-07T21:00:39Z\",\"data\":{\"run_id\":\"job-3a7c9f1e2b8d0a45\",\"exit_code\":0,\"summary\":\"...\"},\"subject\":\"ci-key\",\"aims:control\":\"A.6.2.6\"}\n```\n\n**Abort a running job** — SIGTERM the process group, then SIGKILL after 3s:\n\n```bash\ncurl -X DELETE http://localhost:11435/v1/runs/job-3a7c9f1e2b8d0a45 \\\n  -H \"Authorization: Bearer $KEY\"\n```\n\nAlso cleans up the Docker container if the job was spawned with `\"sandbox\":\"container\"`. Decrements the per-key `activeJobs` counter so the quota is immediately released. Publishes `run.aborted` on the event bus.\n\n**Safety timeout on `/v1/chat` + `/api/chat` + `/api/generate`** — the non-streaming paths bound the subprocess wait at `timeout_s + 30s` (default `180s + 30s = 210s`). If the child doesn't close in time, the daemon SIGTERMs then SIGKILLs it and returns an OpenAI-shaped `finish_reason:\"error\"` response with the real reason. Fixed in v0.187.191.\n\n**Tested end-to-end** — 10 concurrent `/v1/skills` GETs, 3 concurrent `/v1/aims/incidents` POSTs (each gets a unique ID, no write races), 2 concurrent `/v1/events` SSE subscribers (both receive the same events). All covered by `packages/cli/tests/api-endpoint-matrix.test.ts`. 201/201 tests green.\n\n#### Endpoint Reference\n\n> **Verified against `open-agents-ai@0.187.191`.** Examples in earlier README revisions are deprecated.\n\n**Health & observability**\n| Method | Path | Auth | Description |\n|--------|------|------|-------------|\n| GET | `/health` | none | Liveness probe |\n| GET | `/health/ready` | none | Readiness (probes backend) |\n| GET | `/health/startup` | none | Startup complete |\n| GET | `/version` | none | Package version + platform |\n| GET | `/metrics` | none | Prometheus counters |\n| GET | `/v1/system` | read | GPU/RAM/CPU info + model recommendations |\n| GET | `/v1/audit` | read | Query audit log (since, user, limit filters) |\n| GET | `/v1/usage` | read | Token usage + per-key rate limit state |\n| GET | `/openapi.json` | none | OpenAPI 3.0 specification |\n| GET | `/docs` | none | Swagger UI |\n\n**OpenAI-compatible inference**\n| Method | Path | Auth | Description |\n|--------|------|------|-------------|\n| GET | `/v1/models` | read | List models (aggregated across endpoints) |\n| POST | `/v1/chat/completions` | read | Chat inference (sync + stream, OpenAI-shaped) |\n| POST | `/v1/embeddings` | read | Generate embeddings |\n| POST | `/api/embed` | read | **Ollama-compatible alias** of `/v1/embeddings`.

The endpoint runs the full OA agent (tools, multi-agent, memory, skills) under the hood and returns an **OpenAI `chat.completion`-shaped response** so any client SDK can use it without modification.\n\n**Both body shapes are accepted** on either path:\n\n```jsonc\n// OA-native\n{\"message\": \"hello\", \"model\": \"qwen3.5:9b\", \"stream\": false}\n\n// Ollama-native (the `messages` array; the last user message is extracted)\n{\"model\": \"qwen3.5:9b\", \"messages\": [{\"role\":\"user\",\"content\":\"hello\"}], \"stream\": false}\n```\n\n> **Two execution modes:**\n> - **Default (`tools` unset or `tools: true`)** — full agent: spawns the OA subprocess with the entire 82-tool set, runs the agent loop, returns the final answer with `tool_calls` metadata.\n> - **Direct (`tools: false`)** — fast path: bypasses the agent and forwards straight to the configured backend (Ollama/vLLM) using the session history. Useful for plain chat without tools.\n\n**Safety timeout** — every non-streaming request is bounded by `timeout_s` (default **180s**). If the agent subprocess doesn't close in `timeout_s + 30s`, the daemon SIGTERMs (then SIGKILLs) it and returns an OpenAI-shaped error with `finish_reason:\"error\"` and a clear explanation. No more hung requests.\n\n**Flip Ollama → OA by port alone** — this is verified to work via `scripts/oa-vs-ollama-chat-compare.sh` (see [Live Comparison](#live-comparison-ollama-vs-oa-full-agent) below):\n\n```bash\n# Before (Ollama)\ncurl -s http://127.0.0.1:11434/api/chat -d '{\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"messages\":[{\"role\":\"user\",\"content\":\"hi\"}],\"stream\":false}'\n\n# After (OA with full agent) — only port changed\ncurl -s http://127.0.0.1:11435/api/chat -d '{\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"messages\":[{\"role\":\"user\",\"content\":\"hi\"}],\"stream\":false}'\n```\n\n```bash\n# DEFAULT: full agent — multi-step tool use, memory, the works.\n# Returns OpenAI chat.completion shape with the assistant's final answer.\ncurl -s http://localhost:11435/v1/chat \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d '{\n    \"message\": \"Search for today'\\''s top tech news, summarize the top 3 stories.\",\n    \"model\": \"qwen3.5:9b\",\n    \"stream\": false\n  }'\n```\n\n**Successful response (OpenAI chat.completion shape):**\n```json\n{\n  \"id\": \"chatcmpl-7d0f5b162036\",\n  \"object\": \"chat.completion\",\n  \"created\": 1775593132,\n  \"model\": \"qwen3.5:9b\",\n  \"choices\": [{\n    \"index\": 0,\n    \"message\": {\n      \"role\": \"assistant\",\n      \"content\": \"Based on a web search of today's top tech headlines:\\n\\n1. ...\\n2. ...\\n3. ...\"\n    },\n    \"finish_reason\": \"stop\"\n  }],\n  \"usage\": {\n    \"prompt_tokens\": 412,\n    \"completion_tokens\": 287,\n    \"total_tokens\": 699\n  },\n  \"session_id\": \"7d0f5b16-2036-49eb-9fb3-1e6bcb9b0c88\",\n  \"tool_calls\": 4,\n  \"duration_ms\": 18432\n}\n```\n\n**Failure response (also OpenAI-shaped, so clients still parse it):**\n```json\n{\n  \"id\": \"chatcmpl-...\",\n  \"object\": \"chat.completion\",\n  \"created\": 1775593132,\n  \"model\": \"qwen3.5:9b\",\n  \"choices\": [{\n    \"index\": 0,\n    \"message\": {\n      \"role\": \"assistant\",\n      \"content\": \"Backend error: Backend HTTP 500: model failed to load, this may be due to resource limitations\"\n    },\n    \"finish_reason\": \"error\"\n  }],\n  \"usage\": {\"prompt_tokens\": 0, \"completion_tokens\": 0, \"total_tokens\": 0},\n  \"session_id\": \"...\",\n  \"tool_calls\": 0,\n  \"duration_ms\": 3691,\n  \"error\": \"Backend HTTP 500: ...\"\n}\n```\n\n`finish_reason=\"error\"` is the signal — the response is still parseable as a normal chat.completion, but the content carries the real backend error rather than hiding behind a 500. Earlier versions returned junk like `\"i Knowledge graph: 74 nodes, 219 active edges i Episodes captured: 1 this session ⚠ Task incomplete (0 turns, 0 tool calls, 1.4s)\"` — that was a status-fragment leakage bug fixed in v0.187.189.\n\n**Direct mode** (no agent, just the backend — fast path for plain chats):\n```bash\ncurl -s http://localhost:11435/v1/chat \\\n  -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" \\\n  -d '{\n    \"message\": \"Hello!\",\n    \"model\": \"qwen3.5:9b\",\n    \"tools\": false,\n    \"stream\": false\n  }'\n```\nReturns the same OpenAI shape, but typically in <1s because there's no subprocess + no agent loop.\n\n**Streaming response (`\"stream\": true`)** — Server-Sent Events with OpenAI delta chunks:\n```\ndata: {\"id\":\"chatcmpl-7d0f5b16\",\"object\":\"chat.completion.chunk\",\"created\":1775593132,\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"choices\":[{\"index\":0,\"delta\":{\"content\":\"Based\"},\"finish_reason\":null}]}\ndata: {\"id\":\"chatcmpl-7d0f5b16\",\"object\":\"chat.completion.chunk\",\"created\":1775593132,\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"choices\":[{\"index\":0,\"delta\":{\"content\":\" on\"},\"finish_reason\":null}]}\ndata: {\"type\":\"tool_call\",\"tool\":\"web_search\",\"args\":{\"query\":\"tech news today\"}}\ndata: {\"id\":\"chatcmpl-7d0f5b16\",\"object\":\"chat.completion.chunk\",\"created\":1775593132,\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"choices\":[{\"index\":0,\"delta\":{\"content\":\" the search results\"},\"finish_reason\":null}]}\ndata: {\"id\":\"chatcmpl-7d0f5b16\",\"object\":\"chat.completion.chunk\",\"created\":1775593132,\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"choices\":[{\"index\":0,\"delta\":{},\"finish_reason\":\"stop\"}]}\ndata: [DONE]\n```\n\n**Session continuity:**\n```bash\n# First turn — server assigns a session_id (in response body and X-Session-ID header)\nSID=$(curl -s http://localhost:11435/v1/chat \\\n  -d '{\"message\":\"My name is Alice\",\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"stream\":false}' \\\n  | python3 -c 'import json,sys;print(json.load(sys.stdin)[\"session_id\"])')\n\n# Subsequent turn — pass session_id back\ncurl -s http://localhost:11435/v1/chat \\\n  -d \"{\\\"session_id\\\":\\\"$SID\\\",\\\"message\\\":\\\"What is my name?\\\",\\\"model\\\":\\\"qwen3.5:9b\\\",\\\"stream\\\":false}\"\n```\n\nSessions expire after 30 minutes of inactivity. List active sessions: `GET /v1/chat/sessions`.\n\n#### Live Comparison: Ollama vs OA Full Agent\n\nThe repo ships a reproducible side-by-side harness at [`scripts/oa-vs-ollama-chat-compare.sh`](scripts/oa-vs-ollama-chat-compare.sh). It runs **5 tool-call-required prompts** × **4 phases** (Ollama non-stream, OA non-stream, Ollama stream, OA stream) = **20 runs per invocation** with the same model and the same `/api/chat` path on both ports.\n\n```bash\nMODEL=qwen3.5:9b bash scripts/oa-vs-ollama-chat-compare.sh\n```\n\n**Results from `open-agents-ai@0.187.191` with `qwen3.5:9b`** (all 20 runs completed, zero timeouts):\n\n| # | Prompt | Ollama (bare) | Open Agents (full agent) | Winner |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| 1 | \"Latest stable Node.js version + source URL\" | ❌ **v22.10.0** — hallucinated from Aug-2024 training cutoff | ✅ **v25.9.0** fetched from `nodejs.org/download/current`, **3 tool calls** (`web_search` → `web_fetch` → `task_complete`) | **OA** |\n| 2 | \"Biggest tech news this week + source URL\" | ❌ \"I don't have real-time access\" + generic AI trend guess | ✅ **Anthropic Mythos, Intel Terafab, Apple foldable, Russian router breach, Firmus $5.5B** — sourced from TechCrunch, **4 tool calls** | **OA** |\n| 3 | \"Current OS, CPU cores, free memory — use shell tools\" | ❌ Confabulated **\"Linux / 8 cores / 6.1 GB\"** (all wrong) | ✅ **Ubuntu 24.04.2 / 48 cores / 120 GB** (all correct), **6–7 shell tool calls** | **OA** |\n| 4 | \"List files in cwd, count top level, most recent\" | ❌ \"I cannot access your filesystem\" | ✅ **20 files, 50+ dirs, `.claude.json` (81 KB, 09:09 UTC)** via `list_directory`, **2 tool calls** | **OA** |\n| 5 | \"2022 FIFA World Cup final winner + score\" (both endpoints have this in training data) | ✅ Argentina 4–2 France | ✅ Argentina 3–3 France, **4–2 on penalties at Lusail Stadium, Dec 18 2022** — grounded with 4 tool calls | **Tie (OA more detailed)** |\n\n**Latency profile** (wall clock, 5-prompt median):\n\n| Phase | Ollama | OA agent | OA overhead |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| Non-streaming | 12–18s | 24–42s | 12–26s (agent loop + tool calls) |\n| Streaming SSE | 11–16s | 24–56s | 10–40s |\n\n**Streaming parser validation** — every OA stream delivered:\n- Live intermediate `tool_call` events mid-stream (e.g. `['web_search', 'web_fetch', 'task_complete']`)\n- OpenAI `chat.completion.chunk` deltas with `id`, `model`, `finish_reason`\n- Clean `data: [DONE]` termination with `finish_reason:\"stop\"`\n\nThe harness is **reproducible** — rerun it after any `/v1/chat` change to catch regressions:\n\n```bash\nMODEL=qwen3.5:4b bash scripts/oa-vs-ollama-chat-compare.sh       # faster tier for quick smoke\nMODEL=qwen3.5:9b OA_TIMEOUT=300 bash scripts/oa-vs-ollama-chat-compare.sh   # default\nMODEL=qwen3.5:32b OA_TIMEOUT=600 bash scripts/oa-vs-ollama-chat-compare.sh  # higher tier\n```\n\n**Bottom line**: for any question that needs fresh data, system access, or filesystem visibility — bare Ollama is wrong or refuses; OA with the full agent is correct with citations. That's the differentiator captured live in the harness output.\n\n#### One-Off Completions — `/api/generate` + `/v1/generate`\n\nDrop-in for **Ollama `/api/generate`**. Same body shape, same response shape, same port-swap semantics as `/api/chat`. No session history — pure one-shot completion. The full agent runs under the hood by default (`tools: true`), returning the final `assistant_text` wrapped in Ollama's shape.\n\n```bash\n# Ollama (bare LLM)\ncurl -s http://127.0.0.1:11434/api/generate \\\n  -d '{\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"prompt\":\"Name 3 open-source databases.\",\"stream\":false}'\n\n# OA with full agent — only port changed\ncurl -s http://127.0.0.1:11435/api/generate \\\n  -d '{\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"prompt\":\"Name 3 open-source databases.\",\"stream\":false}'\n\n# OA direct backend bypass (fast path, no agent)\ncurl -s http://127.0.0.1:11435/api/generate \\\n  -d '{\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"prompt\":\"Name 3 open-source databases.\",\"stream\":false,\"tools\":false}'\n```\n\n**Response shape** — Ollama-native so any client parsing `done`, `response`, `total_duration` keeps working:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"model\": \"qwen3.5:9b\",\n  \"created_at\": \"2026-04-07T22:01:08Z\",\n  \"response\": \"1. PostgreSQL\\n2. MongoDB\\n3. Redis\",\n  \"done\": true,\n  \"done_reason\": \"stop\",\n  \"total_duration\": 18000000000,\n  \"eval_count\": 45,\n  \"_oa\": {\n    \"tool_calls\": 0,\n    \"finish_reason\": \"stop\",\n    \"duration_ms\": 17991,\n    \"request_id\": \"...\"\n  }\n}\n```\n\nThe `_oa` extension block carries the OA-specific metadata (tool call count, agent duration, request ID for correlation with `/v1/audit`). Strict Ollama clients ignore unknown fields — no client changes required.\n\n**Streaming** — set `\"stream\": true` and receive Ollama-style NDJSON chunks:\n\n```\n{\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"created_at\":\"...\",\"response\":\"\",\"done\":false,\"_oa\":{\"type\":\"tool_call\",\"tool\":\"web_search\",\"args\":{...}}}\n{\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"created_at\":\"...\",\"response\":\"PostgreSQL...\",\"done\":false}\n{\"model\":\"qwen3.5:9b\",\"created_at\":\"...\",\"response\":\"...\",\"done\":true,\"done_reason\":\"stop\",\"total_duration\":18000000000,\"eval_count\":45}\n```\n\nTool-call events appear as NDJSON frames with `_oa.type: \"tool_call\"` interleaved between content frames.\n\n#### Embeddings — `/v1/embeddings` + `/api/embed`\n\nDrop-in for Ollama `/api/embed` (returns Ollama's `{embeddings: [[...]]}` shape) **and** OpenAI `/v1/embeddings` (returns OpenAI's `{object:\"list\", data: [{object:\"embedding\", embedding:[...], index: 0}]}` shape). The endpoint path determines the response shape; both wire to the same backend embedding model.\n\n```bash\n# Ollama shape\ncurl -s http://127.0.0.1:11435/api/embed \\\n  -d '{\"model\":\"nomic-embed-text\",\"input\":\"hello world\"}'\n\n# OpenAI shape\ncurl -s http://127.0.0.1:11435/v1/embeddings \\\n  -d '{\"model\":\"nomic-embed-text\",\"input\":\"hello world\"}'\n```\n\nBoth paths accept `{input: \"...\"}` or `{prompt: \"...\"}` in the body, and both support `input: [\"a\",\"b\",\"c\"]` for batched embeddings.\n\n#### Memory Recall + Knowledge Graph — `/v1/memory/*`\n\nBacked by `@open-agents/memory` (SQLite + better-sqlite3). The endpoints expose the daemon's persistent memory stores that the agent uses under the hood.\n\n```bash\n# Backend summary\ncurl -s http://127.0.0.1:11435/v1/memory\n\n# Write a memory entry (run scope)\ncurl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:11435/v1/memory/write \\\n  -d '{\"kind\":\"fact\",\"content\":\"PostgreSQL supports JSONB indexing via GIN.\",\"tags\":[\"db\",\"postgres\"]}'\n\n# Semantic/keyword search (returns ranked episodes)\ncurl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:11435/v1/memory/search \\\n  -d '{\"query\":\"postgres indexing\",\"limit\":5}'\n\n# Paginated episode walk (knowledge graph)\ncurl -s 'http://127.0.0.1:11435/v1/memory/episodes?limit=10'\n\n# Paginated failure store (anti-patterns)\ncurl -s 'http://127.0.0.1:11435/v1/memory/failures?limit=10'\n```\n\n**Example search response** — search returns real episode records with timestamps, content, importance scores, and retrieval counts:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"query\": \"sorting algorithm complexity\",\n  \"results\": [\n    {\n      \"kind\": \"episode\",\n      \"id\": \"89e5b7f3-e6ee-462f-97fa-e9f1bbec3d73\",\n      \"timestamp\": 1775599267977,\n      \"content\": \"The QuickSort algorithm has average O(n log n), worst case O(n²)\",\n      \"contentHash\": \"fd43a4bc9bfbec3b\",\n      \"importance\": 0.5,\n      \"decayClass\": \"daily\",\n      \"strength\": 2,\n      \"lastRetrieved\": 1775599267983\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\nThe `strength` and `lastRetrieved` fields are updated on every search — the store keeps a read-count that decays over time, matching the spaced-repetition model used by the agent for context selection.\n\n#### Generate/Embed/Memory Test Harness\n\nA second harness at [`scripts/oa-vs-ollama-generate-embed-memory.sh`](scripts/oa-vs-ollama-generate-embed-memory.sh) covers the four non-chat endpoint families:\n\n```bash\nMODEL=qwen3.5:9b EMBED_MODEL=nomic-embed-text \\\n  bash scripts/oa-vs-ollama-generate-embed-memory.sh\n```\n\n**Tested results from `open-agents-ai@0.187.195`** (live, single run, `qwen3.5:9b` + `nomic-embed-text`):\n\n**Part 1 — `/api/generate` one-off prompts**:\n\n| Prompt | Ollama | OA direct | OA full agent |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| \"TCP vs UDP in one sentence\" | 26.8s — correct | 12.5s — correct | 43.8s — correct, **1 tool call** |\n| \"One-line Python square function\" | 32.1s — correct | 12.2s — correct | ~3min — correct, **2 tool calls** |\n| \"Name 3 open-source databases\" | 36.6s — Postgres/MySQL/SQLite | 21.0s — Postgres/MySQL/MongoDB | 18.2s — Postgres/MongoDB/Redis |\n\n**Part 2 — `/api/embed` cosine similarity sanity** (4 test sentences):\n\nBoth Ollama and OA emitted **identical 768-dim vectors** (same backend). Cosine similarity matrix:\n\n```\n                   France→Par  Paris→Fran  Germany→Be   Bananas\nFrance→Paris          1.000       0.979       1.000      0.449\nParis→France          0.979       1.000       0.979      0.477\nGermany→Berlin        1.000       0.979       1.000      0.449\nBananas               0.449       0.477       0.449      1.000\n```\n\nSemantic sanity check: `sim(Paris, Paris-paraphrase) = 0.979 > sim(Paris, Bananas) = 0.449`. ✅ Both endpoints `0.22–0.25s` per 4 embeddings.\n\n**Part 3 — `/v1/memory/write` + `/v1/memory/search`** round-trip:\n\n```\nwrite: \"The QuickSort algorithm has O(n log n) average...\")  → {\"status\":\"written\", \"timestamp\":\"2026-04-07T22:01:07.931Z\"}\nwrite: \"HTTP/2 uses binary framing...\"                        → {\"status\":\"written\", ...}\nwrite: \"The Rust ownership model enforces memory safety...\"   → {\"status\":\"written\", ...}\n\nsearch query=\"sorting algorithm complexity\" → 3 episodes returned with content, importance, strength, lastRetrieved\nsearch query=\"network protocol streaming\"  → 3 episodes returned (strength incremented on re-read)\n```\n\nEvery write round-trips correctly. Search returns ranked episodes with updated `strength` and `lastRetrieved` timest"
