SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinated, secure communications between distributed agent processes, covering keep-alive, peer trust, and the choice between fire-and-forget and request/response messaging.

Core Features & Use Cases

Keeps sessions alive and manages peer trust across a network of agents.
Supports fire-and-forget messaging as well as request/response interactions.
Provides transport selection (UDS, TCP, inproc) and peer discovery for scalable, multi-host deployments.

Quick Start

Set up a keep-alive session with a trusted peer named "peer1" and exchange a request to query its status.

FAQPage Schema

How do I manage peer trust and keep-alive sessions between distributed agents?▼

Peer trust and keep-alive sessions between distributed agents are managed by configuring peer discovery and applying modular messaging patterns across UDS, TCP, or inproc transports for deterministic production workflows.

What is the best way to implement request/response messaging for peer-to-peer agent communications?▼

Peer-to-peer agent communications support both fire-and-forget and request/response messaging patterns, allowing you to send status queries to trusted peers and receive deterministic replies across selected transports.

Can I use UDS, TCP, and inproc transports for multi-host agent deployments?▼

UDS, TCP, and inproc transports are supported for multi-host deployments, providing transport selection and peer discovery to scale distributed agent networks across different hosts.

How do I set up a keep-alive session with a trusted peer in a Meerkat deployment?▼

To set up a keep-alive session in a Meerkat deployment, configure a trusted peer by name and exchange a status request, leveraging the built-in peer discovery and trust management features.

Does this approach support fire-and-forget messaging or only request/response interactions?▼

Both fire-and-forget and request/response interactions are supported, giving you the flexibility to choose the messaging pattern that best fits your multi-agent communication requirements.

When should I use inproc transport versus TCP for agent communications?▼

Inproc transport suits same-process agent communications for lower latency, while TCP enables multi-host deployments across a network, with peer discovery and trust management applied consistently across all transport choices.
