# Grid-agent LLM transport and tool loop
|
||||
# Grid-agent LLM runtime
|
||||
|
||||
The grid agent talks to one operator-supplied OpenAI-compatible chat-completion
|
||||
endpoint. `llm.endpoint_url` is the complete request URL and `llm.api_key` is
|
||||
the bearer credential. The client sends `POST` to that exact URL. It does not
|
||||
append a path, select a provider, discover models, send a model field, or retry
|
||||
against another service. Endpoint routing and model selection remain operator
|
||||
responsibilities.
|
||||
MetaCrate delegates the conversation runtime to Mentra. `llm.endpoint_url` is
|
||||
the provider base URL, `llm.api_key` is its bearer credential, and `llm.model`
|
||||
is the model ID. Mentra owns the Responses request path, HTTP/SSE streaming,
|
||||
message history, tool-call rounds, provider errors, cancellation, compaction,
|
||||
and persisted runtime state. MetaCrate does not implement a second HTTP client
|
||||
or parse SSE itself.
|
||||
|
||||
## Compatibility envelope
|
||||
For an OpenAI-compatible provider, configure the base that Mentra can extend
|
||||
with `v1/responses`. For example, a proxy base ending in `/go` is valid when
|
||||
its Responses endpoint is `/go/v1/responses`; do not include that final path in
|
||||
MetaCrate configuration. Endpoint behavior, redirects, response transport, and
|
||||
provider retry semantics are Mentra responsibilities.
|
||||
|
||||
Requests contain only the normalized `messages` and `tools` members. Message
|
||||
roles map to `system`, `user`, `assistant`, and `tool`. Content is an array of
|
||||
`text` or `image_url` parts. Tool definitions use the standard function name,
|
||||
description, and JSON-schema parameters envelope. Tool observations carry the
|
||||
original `tool_call_id`. The client accepts the first response choice, optional
|
||||
text, function tool calls, and optional token usage. Unknown response members
|
||||
are ignored; missing required members, unsupported empty choices, malformed
|
||||
JSON, duplicate call IDs, and oversized values return typed errors.
|
||||
## Conversation and memory
|
||||
|
||||
The HTTP client uses Rustls and performs no automatic content decompression
|
||||
because no compression feature is enabled. Redirect following is disabled, so
|
||||
a bearer credential can never be forwarded to either a same-origin or
|
||||
cross-origin redirect target. Connect, whole-request, response-idle, pool-idle,
|
||||
and total elapsed timeouts are independently bounded. Prompt bytes, response
|
||||
bytes, concurrent requests, retry count, and retry delay also have validated
|
||||
hard ceilings. Only transport failures, timeouts, and HTTP 408, 425, 429, 500,
|
||||
502, 503, or 504 are retryable. `Retry-After` seconds are honored only up to the
|
||||
configured delay ceiling; otherwise bounded deterministic jitter is used.
|
||||
The main system prompt is intentionally minimal:
|
||||
|
||||
## Tool-loop safety
|
||||
> You are in an OpenSim virtual world. Use the available tools to act there.
|
||||
|
||||
`ToolLoop` validates every registered schema before use. A proposed call must
|
||||
have a unique session call ID, a registered name, valid JSON arguments, and
|
||||
arguments matching that registered schema before it reaches `ToolExecutor`.
|
||||
Unknown names, malformed arguments, and schema mismatches become bounded tool
|
||||
observations for the next model turn and never call the executor. Tool
|
||||
executions are sequential, making the simultaneous execution ceiling one.
|
||||
It contains no authorization claims. MetaCrate derives authority from the
|
||||
authenticated sender UUID and channel, then gives Mentra only the permitted
|
||||
tool profile. Every tool call is checked again by `PolicyGateway`; prompt text
|
||||
cannot grant authority.
|
||||
|
||||
Turn count, calls per turn and session, history messages, history bytes,
|
||||
wall-clock time, and collected usage records are bounded. When history exceeds its
|
||||
configured envelope, an injected deterministic summarizer may compact it. A
|
||||
failed summarizer inserts a fixed bounded truncation marker and retains recent
|
||||
context. An ambiguous mutating result terminates the loop immediately; it is
|
||||
never retried or turned into another model request.
|
||||
Authorized IM agents have a stable avatar-scoped Mentra identity, so history,
|
||||
compaction, and memory survive IM session changes and process restarts. Public
|
||||
and unprivileged conversations remain session-scoped and receive neither
|
||||
durable memory tools nor privileged grid tools. Authorized agents receive
|
||||
Mentra's `memory_search`, `memory_pin`, and `memory_forget` tools. Automatic
|
||||
memory injection is disabled because Mentra 0.18.3 appends recalled memory as a
|
||||
new user turn after the current request; explicit memory tools preserve durable
|
||||
learning without displacing the command being handled.
|
||||
|
||||
Shutdown, operator cancellation, disconnect, session expiry, and avatar-session
|
||||
replacement use cancellation plus `SessionGeneration`. Superseding a generation
|
||||
cancels its in-flight HTTP request or executor and prevents a late result from
|
||||
starting another action. Request and correlation IDs are deterministic and the
|
||||
completion exposes token usage, latency, and attempt count. The final returned
|
||||
message is the model-authored action summary. The wire mapping has no reasoning
|
||||
or chain-of-thought field and does not retain or expose hidden reasoning.
|
||||
Runtime records use `HybridRuntimeStore`: conversation/runtime state is stored
|
||||
in `runtime.sqlite`, with the associated Mentra memory store and transcript,
|
||||
task, team, and workspace paths under the configured state directory.
|
||||
|
||||
## Focused verification
|
||||
## Tools and autonomous safety review
|
||||
|
||||
The `llm_transport` integration suite runs only against bounded loopback fake
|
||||
endpoints. It covers exact URL and authorization behavior, secret redaction,
|
||||
fragmented responses, images and tool schemas, malformed and oversized input,
|
||||
redirect refusal, transient-only retry, cancellation and timeout races,
|
||||
concurrency, complete tool round trips, invalid-call observations, endless
|
||||
loops, duplicate IDs, ambiguous mutation, supersession, and safe history
|
||||
compaction.
|
||||
Mentra receives the JSON schemas registered by MetaCrate. It validates and
|
||||
orchestrates model tool calls; `PolicyToolExecutor` is the only bridge to grid
|
||||
backends. The gateway independently binds authorization to the authenticated
|
||||
principal, origin, exact canonical arguments, estimated resource cost, expiry,
|
||||
and single execution.
|
||||
|
||||
An action above its approval-free risk threshold does not wait for a human
|
||||
operator. MetaCrate starts a separate one-shot Mentra agent backed by a fresh
|
||||
volatile store. That reviewer has no tools, history, or memory and receives
|
||||
only the proposed tool, exact arguments, and resource estimate as untrusted
|
||||
data. Only an explicit `ALLOW` verdict grants the existing single-use bound
|
||||
approval; `DENY`, transport failure, an invalid verdict, timeout, or
|
||||
cancellation fails closed. Human control-plane decisions remain an emergency
|
||||
facility, not a requirement for autonomous operation.
|
||||
|
||||
## Images
|
||||
|
||||
Vision captures are real software-rendered viewport images. MetaCrate renders
|
||||
the current scene, encodes the final frame directly as JPEG, and attaches it as
|
||||
a Mentra image content block. The default 320x180 frame, quality, entity,
|
||||
triangle, texture-fetch, decoded-pixel, byte, rate, and concurrency limits are
|
||||
validated before runtime. JPEG avoids the much larger PNG payloads.
|
||||
|
||||
The current renderer handles legacy prim geometry, approximate texture colors,
|
||||
simple avatars, and flat terrain/water. Viewer-grade mesh/sculpt rendering,
|
||||
full UV materials, lighting, authoritative terrain, and model-controlled camera
|
||||
tools are tracked separately.
|
||||
|
||||
## Bounds and cancellation
|
||||
|
||||
MetaCrate sets generous but finite run budgets on Mentra: model rounds, tool
|
||||
calls, stored history, and total wall-clock time. The default interaction/model
|
||||
window is two minutes. Grid disconnect, session replacement, expiry, operator
|
||||
cancel, and shutdown bridge the generation cancellation token into Mentra.
|
||||
Non-idempotent ambiguous mutations stop immediately and are never retried.
|
||||
|
||||
The provider proxy used in live verification could not combine replayed input
|
||||
with `previous_response_id`, so MetaCrate selects Mentra's full-history
|
||||
Responses mode for that provider. Mentra still owns the transport and history.
|
||||
|
||||
## Verification
|
||||
|
||||
The focused suite uses loopback Responses/SSE endpoints and covers streamed
|
||||
text, images, tool rounds, compaction, persisted memory across restart, and
|
||||
schema validation:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
cargo test --locked -p metacrate-grid-agent --test llm_transport
|
||||
cargo clippy --locked -p metacrate-grid-agent --all-targets -- -D warnings
|
||||
cargo clippy --locked -p metacrate-grid-agent --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
|
||||
```
