# Endpointless Agents And how we tame them --- ## Agents with no Endpoint - Phones - Some Static Agents - Agents with Firewall Issues --- ## Additional Advantages - Brings 'sync' to async - Simpler Mental Model - Efficiency - Reuse existing connections - Avoids Network Issues --- ## Factors - DID Doc - Getting response messages - Inbound routing --- ## DID Document - Implications of no endpoint Don't call me, I'll call you! --- ## Response Messages - return route decorator - Implies temporary message holding - doesn't relible delivery need that anyway? --- ## Routing Agent - Other Agent has endpoint, willing to route. - Route destination is a queue - Endpointless Agent calls in to get messages. - Ideally, Other Agent capable of push notifications. --- ```graphviz digraph { compound=true rankdir=LR graph [ fontname="Source Sans Pro", fontsize=20 ]; node [ fontname="Source Sans Pro", fontsize=18]; edge [ fontname="Source Sans Pro", fontsize=12 ]; a [label="Phone"] [shape=box] b [label="Routing Agent"] [shape=box] c [label="Any Agent"] [shape=box] a -> b [label="Return Route\n Connection"] [weight=2] b -> a [label="Push Notifications"] [style=dotted] b -> c c -> b } ``` --- ### A Last Hop Problem ---
