Safety notes— missing— missingAG2 agents can converse, call tools, execute code, use retrieval systems, run browser workflows, and coordinate group chats; require explicit permissions and approval gates for high-impact actions. The upstream install docs and examples commonly involve provider credentials; keep API keys, config files, notebooks, and `.env` files out of commits and support tickets. Code execution, Docker, Jupyter, browser-use, and RAG extras can touch local files, network services, notebooks, databases, and external websites; scope them tightly before granting agent access. Multi-agent conversations can continue through nested chats, swarms, group chats, and custom reply handlers; define termination, escalation, retry, and human takeover behavior. Track the release roadmap before upgrading because deprecations and the v1.0 transition can change which APIs should be used for new work.AgentScope examples can give agents Bash, file-read, file-write, edit, search, MCP, and custom tools. Scope tool permissions and approval rules before connecting a real project or account. The README demonstrates permission control, including bypass mode. Do not use bypass-style behavior on production systems, sensitive files, paid APIs, cloud resources, or unreviewed tool chains without compensating controls. Workspace support can run tools and code through local, Docker, or E2B backends; review filesystem mounts, network access, secrets, resource limits, and cleanup behavior. Agent teams, background tasks, and multi-session services can continue work after the initial request; define cancellation, timeout, wakeup, escalation, and audit behavior. Mem0 memory, Redis-backed sessions, MCP configuration, OpenTelemetry, FastAPI services, and model-provider integrations all need version pinning, credential isolation, and security review before production use.
Privacy notes— missingLangGraph sends prompts and graph state to your configured model provider (including Claude); persisted state and checkpoints can contain message and tool-call data.Prompts, messages, tool arguments, tool outputs, code snippets, notebook state, retrieved documents, vector-store contents, provider responses, traces, and execution logs may contain sensitive user or workspace data. Do not expose secrets, API keys, private file paths, customer records, internal documents, database rows, or raw exceptions through agent messages, logs, notebooks, screenshots, or public examples. Provider extras and retrieval integrations can route data through OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, AWS, local model servers, databases, vector stores, browser automation, or other third-party services. If AG2 is used for code execution or browser automation, define which files, domains, credentials, downloads, screenshots, and logs can be read or retained.AgentScope workflows can process prompts, model responses, tool arguments, tool outputs, workspace files, code, credentials accidentally present in context, event streams, web UI state, logs, traces, memory records, session state, and tenant metadata. Long-term memory through Mem0 and multi-session service storage can persist user facts, intermediate outputs, retrieved context, and tool results beyond a single conversation. Docker, E2B, MCP servers, model providers, Redis, OpenTelemetry exporters, FastAPI deployments, and web UI integrations may send or store data outside the local Python process depending on configuration. Do not expose private prompts, API keys, unpublished code, customer data, tenant identifiers, session transcripts, or workspace artifacts in public issues, examples, screenshots, logs, or generated reports.
Prerequisites— none listed— none listed
  • Python 3.10 or newer and a Python environment managed with pip, uv, or another package manager.
  • Model provider credentials for the selected provider extra, such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Bedrock, Mistral, Ollama, Groq, xAI, or another supported route.
  • A secrets strategy for provider keys, AG2 config files, `.env` files, notebooks, and example `OAI_CONFIG_LIST`-style credentials.
  • A reviewed execution boundary for code execution, Docker, Jupyter, browser-use, RAG, retrieval, database, and external tool extras.
  • Python 3.11 or newer and an isolated Python environment managed with pip, uv, or another package manager.
  • Model provider credentials for the selected model backend, such as DashScope, OpenAI-compatible APIs, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama, xAI, or another supported route.
  • A permission policy for tools such as Bash, Grep, Glob, Read, Write, Edit, MCP tools, custom functions, and long-running background tasks.
  • A workspace isolation decision for local, Docker, E2B, or other sandbox backends before running code or file tools.
