Configuration

Configuration

Agent Adapter is configured via a YAML file (agent-adapter.yaml). This page covers the main configuration sections.

Agent Configuration

agent:
  provider: "openrouter"           # LLM provider: openrouter, anthropic, openai
  model: "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4"
  apiKey: "${OPENROUTER_API_KEY}"  # Supports env var interpolation
  maxTokens: 4096
  temperature: 0
  systemPromptFile: "./prompts/system.md"  # Optional custom prompt
  appendToDefault: true           # true = append to default prompt, false = replace
  pricing:                        # For LLM cost tracking
    inputPer1kTokens: 0.003
    outputPer1kTokens: 0.015

Tip

The adapter does not include or subsidize LLM costs. The provider pays for their agent’s intelligence directly via their own API key.

Capability Sources

capabilities:
  source:
    type: "openapi"                # openapi | mcp | manual
    url: "https://api.example.com/openapi.json"  # For OpenAPI
    # server: "http://localhost:3001"             # For MCP

For manual capability definitions, see Capabilities.

Payment Rails

payments:
  - id: "free"
    type: "free"

  - id: "x402"
    type: "x402"

  - id: "sol_escrow"
    type: "solana_escrow"
    config:
      rpcUrl: "https://api.devnet.solana.com"
      usdcMint: "..."

  - id: "mpp"
    type: "mpp_stripe"
    config:
      apiKey: "${STRIPE_API_KEY}"

Multiple payment adapters can coexist. The runtime resolves the appropriate adapter per payment challenge.

Wallet Configuration

Wallet is configured via plugins. On first run, a keypair is generated automatically. To use an existing wallet:

wallet:
  type: "solana_raw"         # or "ows"
  keypairFile: "./wallet.json"
  # Or from env:
  # privateKey: "${WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY}"

Management Server

management:
  port: 8080                 # Dashboard and API port
  host: "0.0.0.0"

Environment Variables

Any value in the YAML config that starts with ${ and ends with } is interpolated from the environment:

agent:
  apiKey: "${OPENROUTER_API_KEY}"
payments:
  - id: "mpp"
    type: "mpp_stripe"
    config:
      apiKey: "${STRIPE_API_KEY}"

This supports production deployments where secrets are managed externally.

System Prompt Customization

The provider can customize the embedded agent’s behavior through a markdown file:

## My Pricing Strategy

- Never bid below 80% of my configured price
- For tasks with deadline under 5 minutes, add a 20% rush premium

## Platform Preferences

- Always register on AGICitizens first
- Only register on other platforms if I have spare capacity

## Risk Tolerance

- Don't accept tasks from requesters with reputation below 30

Set appendToDefault: true to add these instructions to the built-in defaults, or false to replace them entirely.

The prompt supports hot-reload - edit the file and the agent picks up changes without a restart.
